Col. R. NJ. Strong, of Baraboo, Wis,
formerly commander of the 10Th Wis.
Vol. INIT was the guest of A. E. Christie,
from Saturday until Monday. Col.
Strong and Mr.. Christie both were shot
down in desperate charge made by the
10Th on the enemy's lines at Far Oaks,
near Richmond, Va, Oct. ~, 1854, Il and
fell into the hands of the rebels. COL
Strong lost his left limb. and Mr.. Chris
tie was badly wounded IN the jaw. They
were taken to Libby Prison were they
remained until March, 1855, when they
were paroled. During the prison life in
Libby, Mr.. Christie received marked at
tcntions from the Colonel which did
much to alleviate his sufferings and proba-
bly, saved his life. From this circum-
stance, as well as the good fellowship
always existing between old comrades
the meeting was mutually enjoyable.
Many Of the old veterans had also the
pleasure Of meeting Col. Strong, and
great regret is expressed that the Cole
mel had not time to remain and give tho
boys an evenings entertainment with
some of his war "reminiscences. We hope
he may give Austin visit in the near
future.

NEW JA1L.-Mower county is to have
a new Jail next season. The Commits
sioners have already purchased the
grounds, lot and half, facing west IN
the center of the block next south of the
Fleck House, the size 60 feet front
by 1872 feet deep. A fine Sheriff s resi-
idence is to be built in front. with the
jail in the rear. The plans for the build
ing have not yet been drawn, but the de-
signs for the inside Of the jail have been
agreed upon, and the contract for s pat
ent steel clad cells and all the necessary
iron and steel work and fixtures to make
the inside of the Jail complete, has al
ready been let to the Herzog Manufac-
turing Co. of Minneapolis, the contract
price being 50, $50. The iron cells will be
two stories, cells below and above.
with steel lattice corridsr.on three'sides.
Then there will be jailer's corridor also.
The cells are so arranged that it IS never
necessary for the jailer to 60 inside of the
cells with the prisoners. He is never in
danger of sudden attack by the prisoners.
The whole thing is admirably planned,
and will be one of the verv best jails IN
the State. Work will be commenced ear
]y in the spring, and Commissioner Ayers
thinks seventeen or eighteen thous and
dollars will be sufficient to complete the
entire establishment

John Paul's lumber yard in this city
is busy place, and no mistake. Nearly
every day, as you pass bv, you will see
several teams at time loading up lum-
Der to take into the country. The reason
for all this stir 1t this particular yard is
probably largely due to the very low
prices at which Mr.. Bacon, Mr.. Paups
agent, sells lumber. 1t has been now
three months since this yard was establish
ed, and it has been largely patronized
from the start. A large shed, 20x90. for
keeping dry lumber, was 1rst erected,
and new another one is found nee
essary, and is being built. size 20x52. A
full and complete assortment of every
thing usually kept in a well-regulated
lumber yard may be found here. In ad
