'Lord, nop he answered, reassuringly.
"She'll be as quiet's a lamb when yer'ye once
gut yer hand on her. What'r' doin' now, yer
blasted fool?"
This question was addressed to young Mr..
Mr. Coolbroth, whose persistent attempts at
capture had finally drove Fanny to retreat
at canter.
"There's only one way ter ketch that mare,
was the emphatic reply, y IAN that is ter drive
all the hosses up into corner tergether, an.
ketch one or two O. the tame ones, an hitch
'em. Then yer can ketch that mare, an yer
cahn't ketch her any other way"
This appeared to me rather bright sug-
gestion. ventured to say as much to Mr..
Coolbroth.
Don't pay no attention ter that boy he
replied. "One way ter ketch hoss is ter
drive him inter corner with two or three
tame ones, an ketch the tame ones first.
But how many men do yer think it's goln' ter
take ter keep all them hosses in a corner?
An who's goin' in among 'em ter ketch that
mare? amt lnow.''
"Wal, PU do it," said his son, somewhat
contemptuously.

"Come along here, an drive the Loveitt hoss,

'You do as l tell YER" his father replied,
"an' drive them hosses up, an don't let 'em

After some further remarks, young Mi.
Coolbroth assisted in singing out the desired
animals, and we then drove them into the
corner. No one of them appeared at ease,

flashed, her nostrils were distended and qulV-

About nine O'Clock, Tuesday even
ing it was discovered that the store of
Jacob Rolling, which is occupied by
Mr.. Miller, as grocery and confec-
tionery store was on fire. 1t was first
detected by Mrs Crowel, by the smell
of pine burning. The fire undoubtedly
originated in a barrel of ashes in the
ware room attached to the store, where
Mr.. NJ. was in the habit of putting the
ashes from the stove. Some kindling-
wood was near the barrel and acted as
fuel to the flames. 1t burned through
the siding, and at once assembled be-
tween the studding to the roof of the
building, the under side of the roof
being all charred over, and in places
holes burned through. By almost SUI
perhuman efforts on the part of the
people the fire was brought under con-
troll. Had the discovery of the fire
been a few minutes later one of the
severest losses must have necessarily
been entailed upon the village that has
ever come upon it. Crowel & Wilson's
store and the Central House being
connected with the building would
certainly have gone, with possibility
of Filbach's store also. Too much
care can not be exercised in the dispo-
sition of ashes around the ware rooms
and back doors of stores where there is
much litter that easily ignites.
Much credit is due the ladies for
their assistance in bringing the fire un-
der control. Loss on goods and build
ing about $500.

DIED..
MRS. W. j. IIEALN.

On Sunday, March 2Sth, \. d. 1886,
at o'clock, a. m, Mrs. Bridget Healy,
wife Of William J. Healy, of this city,
died after painful and lingering sick
ness of many months, leaving her hus-
band and nine children to mourn the
loss of a devoted wife and mother 1t
has been the sad duty or The Democrat
to record the deaths of many residents
of this place; but none has caused
more general and heartfelt sorrow than
has the death of Mrs. Healy She was
born at Coote Hall, county RoScommon,
Ireland, on the 1st of January, A. d.
1887. In 1850 her parents emigrated
to this country, and settled first at
Albany, n. Y, but soon after came to
Wisconsin to join their relatives at
Mineral Point. 1t was here that she
met and married W. J. Healy. She
possessed those virtues which make
the memory of wife and mother last
ing, and her long residence in this city
was such as to surround her with a
circle of friends that embraced each and
every one of her acquaintances; all of
whom mourn her death, but none like
her bereaved family that knew and
loved her best; and who during her
long and tedious sickness administered
to her wants with that love and care
which she deserved The funeral ser
vices took place at st. Pauls Irish
Catholic Church on Wednesday morn
ing last, where Solemn High Mass
for the dead was celebrated, and an
eloquent and touching sermon preached
by Rev. James O'Keefe, the pastor.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to return our sincere thanks
to the many friends and neighbors who
so kindly volunteered their services to
our dear wife and mother, during her
long illness and recent death, and
assure all who have in any way helped
to tighten the burden we have had to
bear, that their kindness will always
be remembered.

Southwestern Loeal:-The price of
lead in the present market is lowering
near five cents per pound. and at such
a price the ore is worth in our market
from thirty to thirty-three dollars per
thousand. This price should stimulate
prospecting among us, as it is higher
than it has been for several years past,
and it justiies miners in taking the
risk in finding the ore. Our lands
around us undoubtedly are very abund-
antly supplied with this metal. and
need only the proper enterprise on the
part of our citizens and miners to have
it produced for market. Many of our
young men around town who are en-
gagged in nothing particularly, should
take shovel and pick, lease some land,
and try their luck. There is little fear
that lead will be lower. The increase
of price has gone on steadily, notwith-
the recent bill for the revision
of the tariff introduced in Congress,
wherein the duty is entirely taken off
from lead.
