be bought with the other articles.
and needed not separate committee

Our little burg, still holds its own,
though still suffering from the eff
fects of the disastrous flood of last
spring which carried away the
bridge crossing the Blue Mounds
river, and entirely destroyed the
dam of Holland Brothers mill. The
mill has lately commenced to run
again, but the bridge is yet unbuilt.
A gloom was cast over this com
munity by the announcements of the
sudden death OF Miss Martha Eddy,
a most estimable young lady, living
in the family of Michael McKenna.
She was found dead in her bed on
the morning of the 21st inst, having
retired the night previous in perfect
health.

FROM RIDGEWAY.

RIDGEwAY, Wis, June %, 1851
After years of patient waiting the
people of Ridgeway are gladdened
with the sight of the iron horse in
our town. The construction train
reached the Blue Mounds station on
Monday, June 18th; and if the
bridges about the Mound had been
in good condition it would have
been near Jennieton p. O. now; but
at present writing it is at Simpsons,
which is seventeen miles east of
Dodgeville, and therefore it is not
expected at Ridgeway station until
Monday, the 9th inst. After view
ing operations a short time, we went
east to take look at the new towns
along the line, and must confess
that we did not see any more evil
dences of bushes, or more or better
buildings than We have in our vii
lage, and think that when Mason's
building is completed it will be "the
boss"
Mount Horeb is blessed with a
telegraph office
The R. r. company has three
trains on the road in addition to the
regular construction train. and are
graveling and fencing the road as
it comes. Grading is completed with
the exception of little surfacing.
The people of Ridgeway and Mid
dlebury will celebrate at Ridgeway
and Middlebury will celebrate at
this place with a pienic,-the pro-
ceeds of which are to be applied to
pay balance due on parsonage now
in course of construction at this
place for the p. NJ. society. All the
friends of religion and morality are
invited to help in the good work.
A good time is anticipated, and no
doubt will be had, as the people of
Ridgeway are famed for such gath
erings. Come one and all, and bring
your aunts and sisters, and don't
forget your sweethearts.
