MIR. John f. Thomas, and fami-
| lily, of Waldwiok, starts this week

of the numerous calls the TRlB
UNE has enjoyed and appreciated
under its present management not
one eXcelled that made on Tuesday
by our friend John Wilkinson, who
or last October lost his feet in rail-
road accident at Janesville. This
was his fourth trip to the business
part of town since the accident.
John is full of grit and good spirits,
and looks well. The foot taken off
above the ankle is supplied with an
artificial one which he is readily be-
coming accustomed to, while the
other, taken off just at the instep, IS
hardly sufficiently healed to try ar
tificial attachment. He expresses
his sincere gratitude for the kind
ness and sympathy extended by
friends, especially those who aided
him so materially, and deplores his
inability to repay them with more
than heartfelt thanks.
Rev. Father Weinhart, who has
been pastor of st Joseph's Catholic
i. church in Dodgeyille, for several

Rev. Father Huber, and will here
after supply the Dodgeville church
as q mission. .-Stdr.
Mr.. Reese Powell, of Pecatoni-
ca, was in DodgeyiIle from Saturday
till Monday evening last. Reese is
one of the thrifty young bachelor
farmers of that section. He is large
ly engaged in the business of rails
ing bees and honey. He now has
over eighty swarms. One hundred
pounds from each swarm in season
is an average crop of honey he tells
us. MIR. Powell is very interesting
person to converse with. lie told
us more about bees and their ways
than we ever knew before. True
we have in our earlier years met
with bees and observed their cum
aing and busy lives; but often a
sudden change of front and purpose
on the part of the bee would startle
us into regret that we had tarried so
long, and awaken emotions that were
not conclusive to morality Dodge

Prof. Strassman, the celebrated
eptician, who has been in Dodgeville
a couple of weeks in the practice of
his profession, will go to Mineral
Point on Monday next for a brief
professional visit. All who are an
noyed with any defect whatever in
the eyesight can have the defect com
pletely ycounteracted by adjustment of
glasses especially adapted to each
case. The glasses are prepared by
the professor on purely scientific
principles, and when adjusted to the
eyes, compete in their Office with
nature. In all the cases which the
professor has treated in Dodgeville,
the most complete satisfaction has
been expressed.-Star.
