Mr.. John d. Brothers. of Ports
mouth, o., writes: Two years ago
suffered from a severe attack of ma
lalial fever; was brought very low to
deaths door; had never fully recoy-
cred, and often was distressed with
biiiousness, headache, sinking chills,
night sweats, indigestion and painful
urination. About three months ago
noticed an advertisement of Browns
Iron Bitters in Cincinnati paper.

Pity the sorrows of two poor old
men, who were driving their respec-
tive teams down the street of Dodge
vile, the other day, side by side. The
mud was deep, the rain pouring down,
one WIS going to stop and the other
was going on. The one that was going
to stop said "whoa," and both teams
stopped; the one that was going on
said get up there" and both teams
got up The stopping man said
whoa" and the going on man said
get up" and both teams invariably
obeyed both men, until the scene as
simulated into rapid fasillade of
whoa" get up" and neither could
stop and neither could go ahead; and
still the rain beat and the floods came,
and the mud grew deeper, and the old
gentlemen wrestled with the situation,
until every eye was bathed in tears,
and every boot in mud.

The Superintendent of the Poor, at
their meeting on Tuesday, very wisely
decided to employ Mr.. Ed. J. Perkins
as overseer Of the poor farm for anoth-
er year, and very properly raised his
salary to 81 900 per annum. Mr.. Per-
kins and his estimable wife have done
a noble work at the institution during
the past year, as the improvements
about the place and the increased COM
fort and cleanliness of the inmates
well testifies. We thought the APP
pointment a good one at the time it
was made, but Mr.. Perkins manage
ment of the institution has even sur
passed the expectations of his most
sanguine friends. The SGperintend-
ents, in increasing his compensation,
have but shown just appreciation of
the most faithful and efficient public
Service.-Chronicle.
Your Dodgeville correspondent has
received letter from Esau johnson,
formerly an old miner of Iowa county,
and the person who developed the first
mines about West Blue Mounds,
stating that he has found good copper
ore, near Sparta, Wisconsin. This, as
/ have learned from others, also, is the |
second discovery of copper ore in Yer
non and Monroe counties. Good cop
per ore was discovered two OF three |
years ago, in Vernon county, on Bear |
creek, on large tract of land owned |
by German there. The lode was dis
covered accidentally, and specimens |
taken and sent away for analysis, and
the ore proved to be of good quality,
which when brought TO the knowledge |
of the owner of the land, he built IA
cabin on the spot where the ore was |
found, and lives in it now, and refuses
10 permit any person to enter upon his |
land, and it appears that he is taking |
no steps to develope it himself.
