The question Where and when will
the institute be held this summerP''
has been asked so frequently that take
this method of giving what knowledge
| now have in regard to the matter
Application has been made for two in
stitutes OF two weeks each; the first al

OBITUARIES.
ISABELLA GARTHWAITE.

Mrs. Isabella Garthwaite, the wife Of
Benjamin Garthwaite, of Little Grant
died at the residence of her daughter
and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Ben
nett, in the neighborhood of the Rock
school house, Thursday, June 10, 1884.
The subject of this sketch was a
native of StocktOn-on-Tess in Durham
county, England, and was born in the
year 1919. She came to this country
with her husband in the year 1871 She
was the mother of six children, two OF
whom are dead, and four are still living,
three daughters and one son. Ten
years ago She was afflicted with para
lytic stroke by which she was much en-
feebled and disabled, and which made
her a sufferer from that time up to the
hour of her decease.
AS a neighbor, Mrs. Garthwaite was
esteemed, and is spoken of in most re-
spectful terms. Her loss of health and
protracted sufferings, as might be rea-
sonably expected, had the tendency OF
sometimes causing her somewhat ner-
vous and little impatient; but as she
endeavored to hold fast to that ''peace
which passeth all understanding that
peace which she had sought in her early
days, she was enabled lin patience to
possess her soul, y and to look forward
to that time when all her pains and suf-
ferings would terminate. For some
weeks prior to her death her friends
saw symptoms which plainly told them
that her end was rapidly approaching.
As her end was drawing near.she some
times referred to it. and expressed a
willingness to depart, and early on the
morning of the date above mentioned,
she left this sin-blighted world and ex-
changed mortality for life.
Her remains were buried on Friday,
June 10th, in the burying- ground at
tached to the Providence NJ. f. church,
in which the funeral rites were per-
formed by Rev. A. Pyner, Primitive
Methodist minister, of Little Grant. A
large number joined in the funeral pro-
cession from the residence of her SON.
in-law, and quite number more showed
their respect to their departed neighbor
and friend by meeting the funeral at
the church and witnessing the perform
ance of the last rites The husband and
other relatives have our hearty sym
pathy.

Mt. Hope.

Our lively little village was unusually
quiet during the day of the Fourth, as
we spent our Fourth at Bloomington,
Fennimore, Glen Haven, Oak Ridge and
Prairie du Chen.
The Mt. Hope creamery, owned and
managed by J. g. Snider & Son, is pro-
ducing a large quantity and also a fine
quality of the "gilt edge" Frank is
the boy to make the butter.
The large blacksmith shop owned by
M. d. Taylor is still unoccupied. Thi.
would be good chance for some enter
prising mechanic, as Mt. Hope and sur
rounding neighborhood can furnish en-
ployment for more than one shop.
Miss Emma Weaver closed her spring
term of school July 3. Undoubtly she is
not sorry, as she walked to and from
her school morning and evening a dis
lance of three miles.
Messrs. Tandy & Cheney are doing a
fine business in the wagon and car
riage line and blacksmithing. They
turn out good work and therefore have
large trade.
| think that we Democrats have a
good show to handle the reins of Gov
eminent soon, SO when that time ar
rives, Mr.. Halferty and myself intend
running the postoffice. FRED.

On the 3rd, very pleasant affair
came off at the residence of Dan.
Bridge, a little way out of town. The
result of which was the wedding OF
Eugene Parish and Annie Moran.
Another event of similar character
was anticipated at the same time. on
the next day; but was carried over to
an other time. James and Josie are
young enough to wait little longer.
The celebration was success; a fine
parade, from the depot TO the grounds,
inspiring music; both instrumen tai
and vocal. IAN excellent speech by Prof
Beck of Platteville, and world of fun
On the following day our young folks
including the band. went over to Lin
den, and report splendid time.
Sunday afternoon, Thomas Thomas
Jr delivered an earnest. able and elo.
quent lecture: Subject, The Honest
Skeptic." The hall was well filled and
marked attention given. The theme
was original bold and manly. Most o.
the audience were well pleased and con
siderably impressed with the lecture.
Mr.. Thomas will extend the subject for
two or three Sunday afternoons.

To WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:

Edttor Of The Herald. SIR:-In The HERALD
OF March 18th, 1884, Mr.. r. B. Anderson, over his
name charged me with having obtained notes of
ing the said notes az he would not pay them.
Immediately went to Mt. Hope, saw Mr. Ander-
son, and in presence Of witness agreed to retract
have not seen anything in The HERALD from Mr.
Anderson. taking back or retracting what he said.
In question to myself / desire to say that the
whole statement was false. and ! was greatly
wrouged thereby. The truth is Mr. Anderson
failed TO give good satisfaction as | gave in
his work and business. and he was unable to keeI,
the custom that had. and in consequence was
unable to pay said notes, and l was Obliged to
take my property back at much loss to me-
Hoping that this explanation will clear any
suspicion that Mr.. Anderson ATTEMPTED TO cast on
my good name. remain Sir.

Bloomington.

The GLORIOUS Old Fourth has come
and gone.
The day seemed in the morning
overcast and gloomy, but finally cleared
up and was all that could be desired.
There was large concourse
of people in attendance, variously esti-
mated from fifteen hundred to two
thousand five hundred.
The grove in which the exercises were
held is the finest in the land. Bloom
ington is fortunate in having so fine a
grove so convenient for such occa-
sions.
Mr. Samuel Woodhouse as president
OF the day acquitted himself creditably
and made a rafting speech in his open
ing remarks. Sam is not dead nor is
good to die yet.
The singing was well done as it nee
essarily must be,when the master hands
that had charge of it would indicate.
Bloomington against the world for vo-
cal music. Our young county band is
improving and discoursed some fine
music; we are proud of our band and
when they get their new uniforms they
will compare very fayorably with any
band in the county. The boys are full
of music and play it with a vim.
Mrs.R.C. French reads poem that was
well composed and in which there were
many good hits and illusions to matters
that pertained to Bloomington. That
Mrs. French has poetical talent of high
order can't be disputed The poem
ought to be printed, SO that those who
were not fortunate to hear it read, may
have an opportunity to read it.
The Grafton by the Hon j. d. Wilson
of Boscobel, was a good sensible talk
and pleased all who heard it. John &C.
quilted himself we'll; there was no po-
litical bosh in his speech; no flap doodle
or spread eagle about it, but a regular

end person of any political faith. We
don wonder that the people of Bosco.
bel keep John in the Mayors Office OF
that city, for he has faculty of making
friends, and we of Bloomington think
that he is Boscobel's best Mayor.
The intention was to have a grand
display of fire works in the evening, but
the water works of heaven prevented
and the supply of fire works are still on
hand to be used at the time of the
Bloomington fair.
The day wound upin the usual way
with dance in the evening, at which
there was a goodly attendance of thu
gay and giddy. The coach whip band
of Dubuque furnished the music and ev
erything went off as merry as a mar
| riage-bell.
The scarcity of money and the close
ness OF the times were visible. There
was not much money squandered fool
ishly as is usually the case on the 4th o.
July, and other holiday occasions.
The gayities of the fourth have gon,
to be succeeded by sadness.
Mr.. Richard Morrissy, one of the mos
enterprising citizens of West Grant diet
on the fifth inst, of congestion of tn
brain. He had not been sick or ailin!
but dropped dead. Mr.. Morrissy was
good man and an enterprising farmer
who had accumulated large property
and had laid the ground work for still
larger accumulations; but death loves
a shining mark and it seems as if thos
whom we can least spare are tn
ones he first marks as his own. Mr.
Morrissy leaves a wife and family a
well as host of friends to mourn hi
untimely loss.

On the bright shining shore in the land Of the

As at the death-bed of our loved we kneel
And strive we may to submit to Gods Will

The loved one il slseping she cannot be dead

We never mistrusted the Angel was near,

Her life for her Savior and friends she laid down
She is glittering gem in this glorious crown.

GoRED.-Mr. Lewis Better, promi-
nent resident of Patch Grove and one
of the leading candidates for the Re-
publican nomination of Sheriff this fall,
was horribly gored by an Infatuated bull
on Monday afternoon while driving his
cattle from one pasture to another. A
man on horse back was assisting him
at the time. The bull forced Mr.. Belt
Ter in a corner of the lot and then at
tackled him, one of the horns entering his
left groin and tearing the flesh
open diagonally across the abdomen,
exposing the liver and letting out the
bowels. The wound was sewed up,
and although very painful and serious
one it is hoped it may not prove fatal.
AS the bull-which was afterward shot
when dubbed away from Mr. BETTER,
did not offer to attack any one else, it is
supposed the beast had grudge against
BETTER, or some article of his clothing
enraged him. Mr.. BETTER was a brave
soldier in the war of the Rebellion and
his late comrades as well as his many
friends, will learn of this sad mishap
with sincere regret, and extend their
heartfelt sympathy.
