LAKE MILLS.

One of the latest topics Of conversation
and agitation is that of the taking out
the bulk head at the outlet. 1t has been
stated on the streets that the Northwest
ern railroad company were sufferers from
high water and that they ascribed the
blame to G.. G. Smiths bulk head in
stead Of the late and frequent heavy
rains, and that they desired the slash
boards taken off Those who are &c.
uuainted with the methods of railway
management are 10th to believe that the
railway company care anything about
the matter and particularly that they
would cause any person to come In the
night and remove those boards, as was
done on Saturday night. With a little
more work the bulk head would have
gone out and then not only the mill
property but the knife factory and
other buildings would have been in
danger, in case of q heavy west wind.
Lake Mills and Jefferson were pitted
against each other on the Fourth in a
base ball match The two little mines
were having an interesting game, with
the Lake Mills nine ahead, when the
big mines took possession of the ground.
Faville Grove was visited again by
lightning on Wednesday morning about
ten o'clock George Lusk's large stock
barn was struck and although the family
were looking at it as it was struck, they
did not succeed in getting the horses
out without their being somewhat sing
ed, 4 load of green hay was on fire be
fore il could be run out of the barn.
Harnesses were so nearly burnt up that
enough to harness team could not be
found The loss is said to be about
$4,000, with an insurance of $500.
Green's brick yard is in full blast
again. The proprietor has procured
new moulds and is therefore better pre-
pared than ever to turn out superior
brick.

How Watch Cases are Made.

This process sofmanufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This is tie only qUdtch case made
under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
to popular prejudice against "plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
james Boss Gold Watch Case was not a
cheap goId-washed or electro-pIated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every improvement
suggested, has made the James Boss Gold
Watch Case the STANDARD. -s.ur y MARK
In this watch case the parts D y
most subject to wear-the bo,U, crown, hinges,
thumb-catcRes, etc., are made of SOLID GOLD.

to secure a buyer. The warehouse at
Milton employed thirty hands during the
recent sorting season, and was built at

And so, as we can't ship human friends

A well-known citizen of this town
for the past forty years, left the place
last week under circumstances which
give rise to much talk and censure.
Before he left he was charged by "A
woman of the place with very improper
conversation and conduct towards an
orphan niece of hers, girl some sew
enteen years old. This girl has been
in rather delicate health for year
past, aud the man, who is a distant
relative, has been making her presents,
carrying her to ride, loaning his horse
and carriage to the girls uncle, and in
other ways showing attentions both
neighborly and friendly. A week or
two ago word came to the girls aunt
that something was crooked, and on
questioning the giIl she confessed that
the man had made improper proposals
to her and that otherwise his conduct
had been outrageous. AS the families
were friendly the uncle and aunt of the
girl did not want to believe any such
story, but they were obliged to, and on
charging the man with his base con-
duct he Immediately went west for his
health. He leaves a wife and large
family of children and grand children
to mourn the disgrace.

Peacham is no exception to that gen

which characterizes the interior and
purely agricultural towns of New Eng
land. Those of us to the 'manOr born, .
who make an occasional pilgrimage to
the dear old town, cannot help noticing
that the wells and brooks and springs
are drying up; that many farm houses
once filled with children, happy, and
all alive with the scenes of domestic
activity-are deserted and gone to de-
cay and that many fields once cult
waited are grown over with bushes.
cedars and stunted pines. There is
not nearly as much wealth in town as
there was forty years ago, and there
are not as many inhabitants as there
were sixty years ago. The number OF
voters has been, on the whole, declin-
ing for many years.
Peacham was once, in many respects
the most important town in the county
1t We'd with Danville, the county seat
in wealth, enterprise and public spirit
1t possessed a newspaper and the only
public school in the county, where the
ancient languages were taught and stu.
dents prepared for college. There
were at one time forty-twO distillerie,
