Mrs. Elizabeth Bowes, living about
three miles south east of this city,
on Monday evening met with a very
serious accident. She was walking
outside of the house when she slip
ped upon the frozen ground, fractur-

her recovery is extremely doubtful.
Edwin Osborne, started for Chica-
90 on Tuesday morning. He in
tends to visit Rockford and James
Vile before he returns home, to
make inquiry in regard to tobacco cul-
ture. He believes that if this industry
is largely engaged in by the farmers
in this section it will be found to be
most profitable and will give Miner
al Point a big boom. He will put
in four acres OF the weed " the
present season.
The editor of the Wisconsin To-
bacco Reporter thinks there is no
immediate danger of an over pro-
duction of tobacco in this state. AS
the Wisconsin leaf is the best cigar
wrapping tobacco grown, and as it
has one quality no other leaf pos
sesses in so high a degree, that of
burning well, all that can be raised
will find ready market. Besides,
Wisconsin growers can produce the
weed much cheaper than the eastern
competitors can.
A special dispatch to the St. Paul
Pioneer Press from Dubuque states
that several farmers from Cassville,
Wis, and residing on the line of the
Winona, Alma & Northern railway,
were in that city and displayed
checks for various amounts paid to
them by the Chicago q North
western railway for right of way for
the Winona, Alma & Northern. This
would seem that the latter road was
interested with the Chicago, Burling-
ton q Quincy in the construction of
the east shore road, through they
have made statements to the con-
trary.
Last week the streets were quite
which made fine coasting,
and during the evenings some of the
hills were covered with young folks
enjoying the sport, and several acct
dents happened in consequence. On
Wednesday evening while a large
number were coasting on the street
west of j. Deller's residence, Miss
Polly Bohan was run into by a large
sleigh load and was knocked down
and cut about the head and other
wise severely injured, she has not yet
fully recovered. A son of Mr.. Thos.
Phillips was also injured the same
evening, sustaining a severe cut in
the head which, however, is not
We have personally visited the
office of Prof. Strassman, the optic
ian now located for short time at
the U. S. hotel in this city. His
selection of spectacles and eye glass
es are the finest we ever saw, and we
do not wonder at his success in re-
lieving the eye sight from the old
way of using glasses, which un-
doubtedly must be grand improve
ment. He comes to us highly
recommended by such eminent
gentlemen as Hons. /. +. Frisby,
attorney general L. G. Timme, sec
rotary of state, Robert Graham,
state superintendent of schools,
judges of the supreme court, and
hundreds of bankers and attorneys
of note, and many Of the most sub
stantial business men in this and
and other states. First of all the
Professor examines the eyes of every
and adjusts glasses &C
cording to requirements and nature
of the case. He honorably tells a
person how their case stands and
when they ale informed they are
informed right. The Professor has
been a physician of the best schools;
but has made the eye a special
study and devotes his time to that
important and neglected branch of
optics, and by the aid of all kinds
of complicated glasses can save the
eye from destruction. A word of
advice from him may be safe
guard to you for life.
