The Darlington Democratic Register of this
week contains an extended Eotice of the death
of Mrs. Mary Campbell who died on the 30th
ult., at the residence of her son Hon Francis
Campbell, in the one hundred and third year oil

Gratiot, in this county. And made it the future
home. Her husband, Patrick Campbell. de-

L. 1. Z. Entertainment.
A GRAND SUCCESS.

n IhEAND SJNNESo-
The installation, entertainment,
supper and dauce of Geo. H.
Legate Post, No. l25, G. A. R., of
thiscity, came off as advertised on
New Years night, and was in every
particular a grand success. The
programme was very well arranged
and admirably carried out. Every
member of the Post worked earnest
ly and faithfully in preparing for
the event. The object-to aid needy
members of the Post and families of
deceased soldiers - was most
worthy one, and when the people of
the city were called upon to con-
tribute towards the success of the
enterprise they responded most gen.
erously. Early on Friday evening
large numbers of people began to
assemble at the Post headquarters
III Odd Fellows Hall, and continued
to come until all available seating
and standing room was occupied.
William H. Bennett acted as mus
tering officer, and duly installed the
following officers for the ensuing
year:
Thomas Priestley. Commander.
Edward Devliu. Sen. V. Commander.
James b. PrideauX, Jr. V. Commander.
Josiah IL. Tyack, Adjutant
George Jeuck. Qusrtermaser.
John II. Vivian. Surgeon
S. f. Shepard. o. d.
NJ. J. Minor. o. q.
Samuel Hooking, Sergt. NJ.
John c. Martin, q. NJ. s.
f. L. Clough, Chaplain.
After the installation ceremonies
short addresses were delivered by
Rev. E. CIough, and DR.. J. Ii.
Vivian, Of this city, and Hon. }.
P Smoker, Of Dodgeville. Their
remarks were appropriate to the
occasion, aud We're well receive.
MeSsrs S. T. Osborne, David Ja..
John Charles, and William E. "
lams furnished excellent music, the
audience occasionally joining III a
familiar tune. At about nine o'clock
supper was served TO those WHO
wished TO partake, while large num-
bers repaired to the city hail IT, join
IN the dance. About one hundred
aud twenty couples danced to good
music furnished by Smiths string
band. The fife aud drum corps
was also present aud added greatly
in enliveniug the occasion. Que
hundred and nineteen tickets for
the dance were sold, and over two
hundred and fifty persons took sup
per ut the dining hall. There was
SUCH Il bountitul supply of eatables,
however, that great deal remained,
and was distributed to the poor
people of the city. Altogether the
exercises of the evening passed off
most pleasantly and all who at
tended were highly pleased with
the entertainment furnished and the
kindly treatment which they re-
ceived from the members of the Post

4 Sad Career.

The divorced wife of Bonanza
millionaire recently came to a
mournful death principally from
taking choral, which unsettled her
mind ard demoralized her whole
physical system. She had been
weekly and ailing and felt her need
of something to drown her sorrows
and brace her up. Had she taken
Browns Iron Bitters she would have
been invigorated so that she could
have fought her sorrows off, and
enjoyed healthy life. This valuable
medicine cures general debility,
tones the nerves, strengthens the
muscles and aids digestion.

A correspondent writing from

A correspondent writing from
Edmund to last weeks Chronicle
says: Our state veterinary surgeon,
DIR. Atkinson, accompanied by the
party formerly holding that position,
arrived on Tuesday evening for the
purpose of deciding what the dis
ease was that the horses owned by
Joseph Baker have been afflicted
with so long. An examination was
held on Wednesday and it was de-
cided to be CHAMBERS, when the
horses (four in NUN Der and all val
liable animals) were promptly killed.
Also, one horse owned by jerry
Rule: Jr., was pronounced to be
afflicted with the same disease and
killed at the same tiiue.
The exhibition of the Southwest
ern Wisconsin Poultry Association
held at Dodgeville during last week,
attracted large number of chicken
fanciers from different parts of the
state. Those having the matter in
charge made every possible arrange
ment for the accommodation Of ex-
hibitors and others IN attendance
The entries numbered upwards of
two hundred, and the fowls were of
a higher standard of excellence than
ever exhibited in this section before.
5. G. Thomas and B. J. Bennett.
two well known breeeers of this
city, had a large number of very
fine birds on exhibition and carried
off the prizes in their classes icing
B. B. Red Games for Mr.. Thomas
and Black Cochins for Mr.. Bennett.
The following from The Portage
Democrat of last week will be read
with sadness by many in this city:
"Christmas day was a sad one at
the home of our fellow-townsman,
Adam Eulberg, for while other
homes were filled with festivities
and happiness, at the Eulberg resi-
dence Willie, the seventeen-year-old
son, was dying of inflammation Of
the lungs, and as the sun went down
Christmas night, he crossed the
river of death. He was a bright,
intelligent young boy, and his
death is hard blow to the afflicted
family. He will be remembered by
many as the accommodating youn.
clerk at Schumacher & Sons. His
funeral was held Sunday afternoon
from the German Catholic church."
The Platteville Democrat of last
week contained the following: Mr..
John Munger was accidentIy poi
soned with aconite on Christmas,
from which he practically died.
His respiration and pulse cease.
and all functions o. the body W..
gone and he had all the appearance
of death. Drs. Buck and Gasser
thought him dead, and the family
and friends mourned over his loss.
DR.. Gasser thought he would inject
some medicine next to his heart to
see if he could make it beat again.
They had only to wait about one
minute when Mr.. NJ. began to
breathe and his heart to beat. Mr..
Munger is now in his usual health
having made complete recovery.
He says it is all darkness on the
other side. We have never heard of
such a case before. and DR.. Gasser
says the idea was entirely original,
and was thought of on the spur of
the moment. The doctor thinks it
will be tried oitener in the future
and that many lives may be so
saved.
