/ Singular Accident.

A singular accident occurred to
e. Darlington on his premises near
Montfort. Mr.. c. recently purchased
what is known as the Heath farm,
which has changed hands two or
three times in the last ten or fifteen
years. On returning home one day
last week he unhitched his horses
and led them to the barn, when all
at once they sank into the earth,
into what afterward proved to be a
mineral hole which had been covered
over with timbers. One horse re-
manned in sight about twenty feet
below the surface, could not be
raised until life was extinct. On
further examination the other horse
which had gone to the bottom, a dis
lance of forty feet, was found to be
still alive; when those present pro
cceeded to construct derricks and
after breaking no less than three
cables succeeded in raising him to
the surface, without being seriously
injured. The oldest inhabitant has
no recollection of the sinking Of the
shaft.

We send out this week a list Of
premiums to be awarded by the
is. w. Wis I. A., at its fifteenth
annual fair to be held in this city /;
the first week in September next.
The wonderful progress that has
been made in this section during
the past fifteen years in stock raising,
is fully attested to by the large num-
Der of premiums offered in the stock
department. New classes have been
added and the list now includes all of
the best breeds of horses, cattle, sheep
and swine. The stock exhibit at our
fair last year was most credltable
one. Such an exhibit could not
have been made in the west fifteen
years ago. Our annual fairs have
done much to bring about this i'm
proved condition. Stock raisers have
met together and compared notes,
a generous rivalry has been created,
and the result has been that great
advancement has been made. South
west Wisconsin is peculiarly adapted
to stock raising and dairy purposes,
and evidences that the people are
beginning to more than ever realize
this fact are to be seen on every hand
and we predict that the exhibition
of fine stock at our coming fair
will eclipse even that of last year:
Liberal premiums are offered in all
departments, and it is to be hoped
that all interested will put forth re-
newed efforts to make the S. w.
Wis. [. A, fair Of 1884, such an one
as will reflect credit upon the enter
prise and industrial skill of the
people of this section of Wisconsin.
Every resident of Mineral Point
should take a special interest in the
matter that the expectations of those
who attend the fair may not be dis
appointed.
