er the past few days. Might call it
the january thaw," as it is the only
thaw of any kind had this month.
THE TRIBUNE is thankful for the
quality and quantity of wood that
has been dumped off at its yard this
winter. 1t is far better than the
average used to settle subscription
accts.
TIE Dodgeville and Ridgeway
editors at pens points, battling
with such literary trash as will fall
far short of the beneficial purpose
for which newspapers are supposed

john LANYoN, the merchant, has
sold his stock of merchandise to Mr..
Chandler, who has opened branch
store here. An attachment has been
made on the goods by creditors to
test the validity of the sale.
OFF THE TRACK.-The & a. IN.

BoNDsMEN of the several town

those for whom they are responsible
do their whole duty as required by
the county board at its late special

ONE Wednesday evening, Feb. 6,
Rev, NJ. B. Balch, p. f., of Lacrosse
Dist, will deliver his lecture on
"Strange Contradictions" at the

TIE Dodgeville papers speak of
the veteran landlord of this place
