THE hop crop in Wisconsin, this
year will aggregate about 5000 bales,
one-half the usual quantity. The
quality is excellent, but while the
nominal value is from eight to ten
cents pound, it is reported that
there is at present no market for the
commodity.
UpoN rambling through the diff
ferent parts of the city one can
readily detect the great advantage
and comfort gained by the new
sidewalk law that went into effect
last spring. In one or two years
from now we can say no town has
any better.
TIE shocking Remle tragedy has
come to an end by Harriet Remle
being sentenced to States prison for
life. This case was disposed of
much quicker than similar ones
usually are, for which special credit
is due the court and prosecuting
attorney.
Mosr of our merchants are back
from market and they have mostly
bought goods for cash and cheap.
Our readers will see where to find
these goods by reading the adyer-
tising columns of the TRIBUNE. No
man advertises who is mean or
stingy and you will not go wrong
if you patronlze any of them.
THE latter part of last week Rev.
Clough was summoned to EauClaire
by the illness of his youngest child
who was there with its mother visit
inc A letter from Mr.. Clough, re-
ceiyed just as we go to press, in
forms us that the little one is some
better and that he will be at home
for Sunday services if nothing seri-
GUS happens.
PEcK's Sun, published at Milwau-

happy, and no one can be otherwise
who reads his most excellent paper.

| prospectus of Peck's Sun, in another
column. Sample copies mailed free
to any address.
WE have just seen a curiosity-a
large bone, larger than robins egg,
that was taken from a horses head
by p D. Henderson,. A large swell
ing had formed under the horses ear;
this was opened and about a pint of
matter and this bone extracted. The
operation was a dangerous one but
was successfully performed and the
horse is doing well.-Platteoille
Democrat.
NOTWITHSTANDING the thousands
of dollars expended by the general
government in dredging Galena
river, that stream is about played
out so far as navigation goes, except
when the Mississippi gets on tear
and backs high water up to Galena.
The Gazette says the river is too low
now to float lumber fast enough to
supply the lumber merchants of that
city, and that they have recently
arranged to have their lumber ship
ped from the pineries by rail.
HERE is a potato rot specific: AL
ways when storing your potatoes in
the cellar or root house (haying al
ready supplied yourself with air
Stacked lime) dust quite heavily
each layer Of about six or eight
inches in depth. If your potatoes
already stored are rotting, pick them
over and dust heavily with the lime,
until each layer is covered white.
You cannot injure them. 1t is sur
prising the result in checking the
rot and purifying the atmosphere.
