A LITTLE three year old daughter
of VIM. Schmitz, drayman, died very
suddenly Tuesday night The child
went to- bed in apparently usual
health, and in the night she awoke
and called her mamma, who went to
her just in time to see her breathe
her last. We hear of no cause.
THE fact that two of our most re-
spectacle and energetic young Dem
ocrats broke ranks suddenly and ex-

ACCORDING to the Galena Gazette,
Capt. VIM. Vincent of that place pro-
cured a quart of Scotch Fife wheat
from Washington last spring, for

and threshing the patch, obtained
the remarkable yield of two and a
half bushels of wheat.
Mr.. AND Mrs. WIN. Ross have
been called upon to suffer the loss
of their infant son, who died at Ga
lena last Friday of cholera infantum,

place, when the little fellow was en-
| joying his usual good health. The
body was brought here for burial.
COUNTERFEIT CoIN.-The public
is advised TO look out counterfeit
ten cent pieces. They aIe brighter
than the genuine ones, having a
glazed appearance, as if coated with
quicksilver The wreath is clum
silly executed, and under the words
"one dime," are engraved two "C's."
The counterfeits thus far seen are
dated 1875. They are extremely
soft and easily cut with knife.
SIMPLY as proof of the high es-
TEEN in which our candidate for
congress, Mr.. LaFollette, is held at
home, we wish to state that the 9th
er day there came to us voluntarily
and without solicitation, list of
new subscribers seyenty-five strong.
No other reason for this can be cit
ed than the fact that the TRIBUNE
earnestly supports their favorite,
and they thus wish to show their
appreciation.
