Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1885-04-16

MARRIED-At the residence of the
brides parents, in Waldwick, April
9th, by Rev. j. Marks, Mr.. VIM. NJ.
Proctor, and Miss Katie eldest
daughter of Mr.. Thos. Gribble. To
the young couple the TRIBUNE ex-
tends its wishes for their long life
and unbounded happiness.
A YOUNG Swede, living at Spencer
this state, went out to see the late
eclipse of the sun, and didn't use a
smoked glass. The consequence is
the loss of one eye and the serious
injury of the other. Staring at the
sun is risky business.
STocKMRN will discover by glanc-
ing over the TRIBUNE advertising
columns of this issue that large
number of meritorious stock horses
are named together with their pedi-
grees. 1t is certainty that the
quantity and quality of breeding
horses presented for the season of
1885 have never before been equalled
in Mineral Point.
CHARCOAL is often recommended
for pigs and fowls, but it is not gen
orally understood that it is good
feed for any kind of stock fed with
corn or other heating material.
There is a slight alkaline effect from
charcoal, which helps to correct the
acidity of the stomach. 1t is excel
lent for mixing with the food of an
imals that are being fattened, ex-
periments showing that the increase
of fat is greatest when proportion
of charcoal is allowed.
WHILE the stage, which navigates
between here and Dodgeville, was
at the depot yesterday morning for
the purpose of taking on trunk,
the team became shy of the engine
and lit out for up town. Upon being
caught we understand it was, COM
PEELED by the driver to take another
brush. This proved too much for
one the horses, which dropped dead
on the street, "for want of breath"
Bohan & Sims, the owners do not
appreciate the loss.
THE funeral of Mr.. Samuel White
which took place last Sunday was,
Notwithstanding the inclement
weather, largely attended by old and
young of all classes-a bountiful
evidence of the high esteem in
which deceased was held. The SER
vices at the M. E. church, conducted
by Rev. E. E. Clough, were able and
toubhing, while the dirge by the
male members of the choir
proved one of the most pathetic and
well rendered pieces ever given on
like occasion in this vicinity. The
pail bearers were the following time
honored citizens: Alex Wilson, w.
II. Curry, John Hadfeld, Samuel
Coad, fhos. Alton, VIM. Lanyon,
Sr., John Graber and r. J. Penhalle-
gon, Sr.
ITs prominence on the sth page
makes it almost waste of words to
call attention to the advertisement
of J. NJ. Ellsworth, of Dodgeyille,
noted near and far as the owner of
the most noted Norman and Clydes-
dale stations in the northwest Two
days of each week, until July 10th,
six of these celebrated horses
Moody, Guilio, Lofty, Smasher,
Sanky and o'Leary-will be kept at
the Washington barn in Mineral
Point. One of these horses, Guilio,
was imported direct from France
last August, and is pronounced as
being without superior. Moody
is the noted favorite, while the
others are frst-class, and can main
tain the reputation which Mr.. Els
worth has gained for his herd of
stations. Look them over; you are
invited to do so.
