The Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin
of Saturday contains the following pork
item: PACKERS say the reported search
ty of hogs i'll this section is purely
imaginary, doubtless started on ac-
count of the prospective poor corn
crop. The stock of pork in this market
is larger than that OF a year ago. Pack
ers are not putting down much mess
pork, as hogs are very high, owing to
the manipulation of the market by
spectators. Reports from the country
show that there are the usual amount
of young hogs raised this year by farm
erS.
The people of the west owe 4 debt of
gratitude to DR.. Aver for the produc-
ton of DR.. Ayers Ague Cure. Its
timely use will save much suffering

promised for it. wi
The town of Mineral Point is taking
steps towards the erection of an iron
bridge over the Pecatonica near Schatf's
mill, on the Galena road. James
Spensley has been appointed to pnr-
chase the bridge. and Joseph Phillips
has charge of the construction of the
abutments, and the work will be
pushed right along. Mr.. Spensley con-
siders iron bridges the cheapest, best
and altogether the most practicable
bridges made. and thinks they are the
only kind that should hereafter be
erected in this part of the country.
The great advantage which they pos
seSs over the old stone arched bridge
is their capacity for letting great flow
of water through, and are thus less
liable to be destroyed by floods. while
not daming the water up, and causing
wash outs. etc.
1t is rumored that the railroad ma
chine shops in this city are to be re-
moved to Monroe. The shops were
established with the old Mineral Point
railroad about twenty-five years ago.
Lately they have given employment to
perhaps half dozen men steadily and
to more at times. Although not at all
posted in such matters we judge the
machinery in use at the shops to be
tirst-class and particularly suitable for
general repair work. Mineral Point
is now the western terminus for all
through trains on this division, and for
that reason it would seem that this is a
convenient point for a repair shop.
There is at this station a neyer-failing
supply of good water. The grounds
are well located ana ample for the ac-
commCdation of much larger works
The removal of the shops would seem.
to be more matter of convenience
in having the workmen, material and
machinery in one place, than of any
very considerable gain to the Company,
Perhaps the officers think differently
Bat there is another reason which is
entitled to some weight in the matter:
For long time i'll the past and for
some years to come the people of Iowa
county have had to pay and will have
to pay large aud grieyious bond tax,
growing out of the efforts of its people
to secure the Mineral Point railroad
more than twenty-five years ago to-
gether with after expensive litigation
This tax is especially burdensome be-
cause its bulk falls on those who were
not Immediately or perceptibly bene-
fitted by the railroad. There is no
doubt that this tax has retarded i'm
proyements and hindered the building
