LINDEN.

We are sorry to report the illness
of Mr.. +. S. Smith of this place,
which appeared to be quite serious
on Wednesday. He is improving
now and it is hoped that he will re-
cover his usual good health in a
short time.
Mr.. VIM. r. Sampson, editor of
Linden department of The Chron-
iclc returned from trip to Iron
Mountain, Michigan, on Tuesday
evening. He was accompanied by
Mr.. Cglo Baker, of Edmund. Mr.. S.
reports that they enjoyed them
selves immensely IN the live towns
of northern Wisconsin and Mich
igan.
A couple of hoodlums returning
from Tamblyn's sale on Tuesday
suddenly galloped past Mr.. John
Thompson's team causing it to run
away. VIM. Liddicoat who was in
the wagon jumped out without
injury, but Jas. Goldsworthy was
not so fortunate. He was thrown
from the wagon and very seriously
injured. He fell heavily on his
right shoulder and the shock, was
so severe that when picked up he
could scarcely speak. He was at
once taken home and his injuries
attended to. He is slowly recover
ing but still very weak.
Mr.. John Harris and wife were
favored with a very pleasant sere-
made by the Linden band on Satur-
day evening last. Early in the
evening the Linden home guards
learning what wa going to take place
got their muskets and shot guns in
readiness and appeared early on the
scene, and after music by the band
contributed their part to the even
ing's entertainment, by firing a
salute of less than hundred guns.
Those who participated express
themselves as very much pleased
with the way in which they were
received and entertained by Mr.. and
Mrs. Harris.
a spooney named Thomas, hail
ing from the vicinity Of Livingston,
is in the habit of making frequent
visits to this place. A few evenings
ago some of the Linden boys put up
a job on him which was almost
cruel. They knew that the young
man was very susceptible to the
charms of the fair sex, and accord
ingly selected one of their number
a handsome, smooth-faced lad of
eighteen summers = dressed him
carefully in female attire and intro
duced him to Livingston as a
Miss Delos, of Chicago, visiting at
Linden. After a short CONVEX
sation, Thomas proposed to take
a buggy ride to Cobb. The blush
ing young lady very graciously con-
sented. And to Cobb they went, re-
turning in due time to Linden. We
presume they had a very enjoyable
ride. A few days afterwards, when
Mr. Thomas became aware how
badly he had been taken in, he
came to Linden and spent day or
two walking around, daring any one
who had a hand in the job to knock
chip off his shoulder.

How Watch Cases are Made.

\ plate of SOLID GOLD II 30 karats
fine is soldered Oh each side of a plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers From this ,.Iate the various
parts ofthe cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and soiidHy, while
the uyTttca guarantee of the manufacturers
wurSdnting each case to wear twenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. DrpUoUE, Ia, Dec. a. 1850

Cases for seventeen years i bought it secondhand
and know of its having been used before got it,
but do not know how long. 1t looks good for ten

Especial Notice to Delinquent
Tax PAYERS.

Your attention is earnestly called to the follow
ing statement: At the meeting of the County
Board in November, 1858. the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Whereas, 1t appears from the report of the
county treasurer of Iowa county submitted 10
this board the 18th inst, that the item of tax
certificates now i'll the hands of said treasurer
amounted to the sum of over $1,000 at their face
value, which by adding the accrued interest Will
reach the enormous sum of over $4,000; and
Whereas, The Revised Statutes section U1Si)
provide that the holder of any tax certificate
may, at his option. in lieu of taking tax deed,
at any time after three years from the date of
such certificate ana before he would be barred
from demanding a tax deed thereon. fOreclOSe
the same by action as i'll case OF a mortgage upon
real estate; therefore
Resolved, That the county treasurer be and
hereby Is authorized and directed by and with
the advise and under the direction of the district
attorney, tn begin and prosecute to final judg
ment the delinquentS. under tax certificates now
owned by Il e county
November II. lSS3.h
The proceeding above ordered is one that will
result IN dives ing you of all title 70 lands on
which valid certificate is owned by the county,
if the certificate is foreclosed 1t is like an action
to foreclosc mortgage, and involves all the or
binary proceedings of a regular foreclosure. The
very large amount of delinquent lands in the
county amounting in all to about SiI,C0J has
compelled the county to resort TO this measure 10
reduce that amount. We are about 10 begin
proceedings under this resolution in every town
in the county; and you may expect your lands
will be included unless you settle with the
county clerk within thirty days from the date of
this notice
The case of Meade against Nelson in the SD
and of Manseau against Edwards in the Seth vol
ume of the Reports Of the supreme Court of Wis
consn, each decides that no defense going to the
question Of the legality of the tax on which the
certificate of sale was issued can be interposed
after nine months has elapsed since the sale. All
defenses OF this kid have been destroyed by the
enactment OF chapter &3t of laws of 1873.
Believing that this is a matter of which the
people o. the county should have ample and
timely notice we have concluded to make it
known i'll this manner: and this notice will be
published four weeks in the county papers; after
which we shall begiu to foreclose.
Respectfully

District Attorney.
