The interest manifested in our

Query: Why should it take a |
package mailed at the Mineral Point |
post-office on the Sd inst. until the

We met the smiling countenances
of Thomas Gardner and Phil Baxter
on our streets last week, which re-
minded Us of that old tune 1--WE
won't go home till morning"
Everyone should examine and
price the elegant line of boots and
shoes at Lewis Brothers before pur-
chasing elsewhere. 35
We took stroll around the mines
last week and found men engaged at
their respective places clearing up
the glittering ore, of which there is
quite large quantity, which will be
ready for market as soon as coneen-
trated. We also met the popular
foreman of the mines, Matthew
Lawnder, who is always at his post,
ready to issue candles, powder, fuse,
etc. The proprietors of the mine
are to be congratulated on procuring
the services of a man so capable of
operating and keeping the mines
open at the bottom, which gener-
ally requires considerable attention
among men working on tribute; on
which system they are working en-
tirely at present; and what says
more for his efficiency, there has not
been an accident in these mines for
years When we consider the num-
Der of men who worked and been
employed at different times, and
that after long service men are apt
to become careless, this is certain
ly a gratifying showing and reflects
credit not only upon the superlnten-
dent but upon the miners them
selves, who cannot be excelled IN
any mines in the United States for
intelligence, soberness, love of law
and order and kindness to their fell
! low men when in distress.
WE ARE POSITIVE THAT
Lewis Bros. carry the best selected
stock of dry goods in town, and that
they won't be undersold on any
thing 80

Our old friend, John Holman, of

day, shaking hands with his many

We were mistaken. After inves-
tigation we are satisfied you can
get more real worth for a dollar at
Hicks, than any other place in
town. 81
Joseph Stephenson, moved his
family from Highland to this place
last week. Mr.. S. is one of the
