On Monday night. the store of Hen
derson y Gribble was broken into by a
thief, who obtained an entrance. first
into the warehouse by opening a door
against which was piled lot of cut
wood; then got into the store by boring
hole SO that he could reach in with
his hand and unbolt the door. The
thief must have been well acquainted
with the position of the lock by the way
ne went to work. He helped himself to
Jewelry, and the money drawer. which
however ne threw away near the sprink-
Ter dam, there being only two or three
dollars in it. He is said to have taken
Jewelry to the amount of 300.
Dodgeville Star: The Lancaster Teller
says It gave more complete report OF
the doings of the DodgeyIlle reunion
than was given by any other paper
The Teller gave very complete report
considering it was all contained in 81
short columns of that paper, the greater
part of which was copied from the Z
long columns given in The Star.
Galena Gazette: A petition is being
circulated among our business men fol
signatures. asking the c. & NV. z. K.
Co., to accommodate the patrons of the
road with an accommodation train, to
leave Lancaster in the morning, arriy,
ing in Galena in the forenoon, and re
turning to Lancaster in the evening
The petition will probably be granted
and it would be great accommodation
to the people along the line of the road
and also of great benefit of this city.

most wholly constructed Of steel and malleable
iron, aud Thus while three hundred pounds Of

The mower now sings its merry song,
and reminds us once more that harvest
is at hand. Now the farmer plods
YEARLY homeward after his hard DAYS
toll in the bayfield,. and after milking
his half dozen COWS by the light of a
lantern, rolls his weary body into bed.
| The n. after few minutes of fretful
slumber, rolls himself out again to milk
more COWS, make more hay, and do
more fretting.
| We had fine shower last Sunday,
which did an inestimable amount OF
good to corn and other crops. If the
weather clerk tends to his business as
well in the future as he has in the past
four months. we can find no reason to
complain.

last fall, has completely recovered
FL. III. Streeter has been visiting this
locality, taking the census and other

meets with some difficulty, the people
not always being willing to expose their
entire business
John Oswald and F. w. Bryan, two
of Lancaster's trout-anglers, were down
this way one day last week, trying to
coax the trout to take their artificial
flies. We did not learn of their success,
but presume they got a good 'string, !"
for they always do when they come
down this way.
Our school closed last Friday without
single visitor. That's the way they
do it here never visit the school to see
how it is running, but stay at home and
grumble and find fault
Our little berg was nearly depopula-
ted on the Fourth, the most of our citi-
zens having gone to Fenniplore and Mt.
Hope to celebrate. While we we're
gone, however, Lancaster kindly sent a
number of her young people down to
guard the city and protect the help
less women and children They pic
nicked in the grove close by, and, we
understand, had very enjoyable time.
Our telegraph operator, Miss Lille
Elliot, is still acting in the capacity of
postmistress, not having as yet found a
position as operator.
Our merchants say the egg business
is beginning to case up, and that they
are glad of it, the skin on their fingers
being entirely worn through from hand
ling them. 1 presume that the hens
feel about the same about it.
Your correspondents complain of
their localities being bothered with
machine agents. Give them a dose of
salt, fired out of shot gun, taking care
to administer it so as to strike .hem
about the center of gravity. and I'll
warrant that the pest will not return.
That's the way we fix EN-, aud it has
always proved success.
