JOS. HoARE, music teacher and
agent for musical instruments, has
made a change He can now be
found in the neat little room joining
the Good Templars' new hall, in
Lenahan's block.
CALL on S. ID. Terrill if you want
to see the best Cord Binder in the
market; workmanship and finish not
excelled by any. And that new Cham
pion Mower is a curiosity.
THE Cobb Bands new uniforms
have been received, and we are in
formed, by one who has seen them,
that they are neat and nobby, yet no
better than the boys deserve.
READERS of the Democrat must
excuse its editors, for the false alarm
in the last issue, as they never had
a battlefield education. It's big
cannon received for the Fourth, and
not canon.
Platteville and Lancaster will fight
each other some time before long in
a game of chess to be played over
Capt. Beebe's telegraph line. VIM. E
Carter will represent Platteville, and
j. H. Reed Lancaster,
BEN WINN is employing every
spare moment in learning to play
the clarinet, and those who ought to
know say he is doing well. We
hope to be able to number him
among the band boys soon.
FULLY one half Of the TRIBUNE
force went along with the excursion
lists yesterday, which proved no ad-
vantage in getting out this number,
and should there be any short com
ings, charge it to needed recreation
The excursion to Janesyilie yes
terday from this place stared out
with about $50 heads, which we IN
derstand insure financial success,
as stations on the road will provide
more, We go to press too early to
give any further particulars.
SOME of our future presidents,
mayors and constables spent Mon
day on the banks of the Pecatonica,
and It's said they were after fish;
but being without corks or the corks
being out, 1--WE don't know which is
the best English) they all went in
swimming.
One of the most useful and at
tractiye novelties placed upon the
market this season is that combina
tion milk-stool, milk pail and strainer,
at Martin & Toay's hardware store.
1t serves as a stool, pail and strainer
at the same time, and can't but be a
valuable addition to the dairy.
One week from tomorrow and
the great show man, Burr Robbins,
and his collection of wonders and
wonderful performers, will be with
us. The circus is highly praised by
those who have seen it, which ought
to be sufficient guarantee of its be-
ing worth attending.
LATELY DR.. Vivian put in a fine
burglar-proof safe, and now he has
the glass on hand for a plate front.
The constant adding of beauty and
improvements to business houses
and dwellings, this season, in Miner
al Point, is all that need be referred
to, to picture our state of prosperity.
THE Shullsburg papers report a
number Of young ladies and gentle
men as contemplating picnic on
the Platteyille Mounds on the Fourth.
Give up the idea, boys Sffftl girls, and
come to Mineral Point, where such
entertaining and instructive amuse-

the editor of the Boscobel DiaL L..
