Glen Haven.

Received last week.
As it has been some time since the
doings along the river at this place have
been noted, thought / would give you
an inkling of what we are doing.
The basket festival held in Grinter's
Hall for the benefit of Rev. Chas. Har-
ris, our circuit preacher, was a COM
plete success. The net proceeds after
paying all expenses were SOL. The bas-
kets were beautifully trimmed and av-
eraged $1.20 each, some selling as high
as $2.75. After the festival the young
folks had an enjoyable dance. the pro-
ceeds OF which were used to pay for the
use of the hall.
The railroad company are grading
back street for the public and using
the dirt and rock on the fill in front of
Basford & Humphreys store building.
The method OF excavating the frozen
earth is by blasting. 1t is wonderful to
see how the blast will throw up the
earth and rock, in some instances doing
a good deal of damage to buildings, for
which, as matter of course. the COM
pany have to pay.
Right-ofway man Trayer gave us a
call few days ago and bought ground
for depot. At the opening of spring.
bridges will go in like magic. Ties and
piling are being delivered along the line.
The grading of the road is progressing
finely. One month more will pretty
much finish it except the rip-rapping
where the grade comes in contact with
the water. Track-laying is progressing
on both the north and south ends of the
road. 1t is all done by machinery.
Among the changes in our village is
the dissolution of the firm of Basford &
Humphrey by mutual consent. The
business will be carried on by A. Hum
phrey. All the former senior partner
has to do now is to stand on the hay
scales and see the mules handle the
dump carts on the fill.
Our village is quiet since we sent a
few of the roughs up to the county
boarding house.
Mr.. Jacob Alderman and his wife
have left for Iowa, having received a
dispatch that their son was dan gerously
sick
Among new arrivals last week l no.
ticed DIR. Cronin. of Cassville, who had
patient with broken limb at this
place; also MIR. Mckinney, of che
Bloomington Record, and Samuel Wood
house, on his return trip from Califor-
mia, a land where flowers bloom in all
their beauty the year round-quite a
contrast to Wisconsin at this time.
The ice is so poor that few venture
on it with teams.
Trade among the business men is
good and has been all winter.
Our village people are circulating q
subscription for money to build side
walks from the river to the school
house. l think it will be success, as
S75 has already subscribed. Although
we have in our village three saloons
which pay 800 license each. yet we
cannot use the money fer the lack of
the required four hundred inhabitants
to procure our incorporation. B.

Andrew Cairns, postmaster and men,
Der Of our County Congress from this
district, has returned from a trip to
northwestern Nebraska. While there
he sold farm of 160 acres for good
price. He thinks good deal of that
country, however, and is talking of
selling mis- excellent farm of 4S0 acres
here and emigrating thither.
Ed. Mccormick, Mr.. Leighton and
the aforesaid Cairns have been run
ming saving machine and got all the
firewood in the neighborhood sawed up.
Robert Davidson ! has rented his
farm to David Vance, and will move
soon, probably to Mt. Hope, and give
possession to the. new tenants.
Allie Whitcpmb, OF Lancaster has
been around canvassing for book
called "The Hearthstone. He got
several names in this vicinity.
As the weather here does not differ
materially from that at "the Hub"
have no otheritem of interest this week.

Wedding-PearSOn-,DOrda

On Wednesday, the 18th inst, the
residence of Mr.. William Jordan, of
Waterloo, was the scene of a pleasant
gathering, the occasion being the
marriage of his daughter. Miss Libbie
A., to Mr.. David Pearson of Biiou Hills,
Dakota, by Rev. S. W. Eaton, of Ian
caster. The bride was beautifully
attired in dress of plum-colored silk
with trimmings of cream colored lace
and is member of one of the oldest
and best families in Grant County. The
groom is also well known in these parts
having formerly lived at New Diggings,
and is now well-to-do farmer in Da-
kota. The newly married couple
started for their Dakota home Friday
morning with the best wishes of their
many friends for a prosperous and
happy life-voyage. They received
numerous presents both useful ornam-
entail, the list of which we give next
week.

CHORUS.


Mrs. Catharine Allen Crawford, wild
ow of the late Jefferson Crawford, of
Hazel Green, Wis, died at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. w K Jennings,
in Plttsburg, Penn, on Thursday, the
18th day of February, 1886, of senile
catarrh, a.species of pneumonia, after a
short illness, IN the 10Th year OF her
age.
Deceased was born in Carmichaels,
Greene County, Penn. and was a grand
daughter of Rev John Mcmillan, one
of the pioneers of Presbyterianism in
Western Pennsylvania. and the founder
and president of the first college west
of the Alleghenies. She was married
in 1871 and went west TO reside at Haz
ell Green. At that time the site of the
present village of Hazel Green was oc-
cupied but by two or three houses and
the whole county was very sparsely
settled Mr. Crawford was extensively
engaged in lead mining and smelling
and he and the deceased were 50
thoroughly identified with the growth
of Hazel Green and the history of Grant
County that few persons were better
known than they throughout the length
and breadth of that and adjoining
counties.
1t is not our purpose to enter into a
detailed sketch of the lite of the de-
ceased. Its sufficient to say that after
life spent in doing good and serving
God she has departed at ripe age, uni
versally beloved and mourned by all
who knew her.
As a devoted wife and affectionate
mother, q generous friend and bene-
factor, her memory will be sacredly
cherished, Dignified in demeanor, gen
tie in disposition, charitable and SYM
pathetic, interested in everything good,
patient and submissive in afliiction. a
spiritual minded decided outspoken
Christian while living, her end was
calm, peaceful and triumphant Sur
rounded by her family, fully conscious
of the situation, with word of farewell
for each one present and of remem-
brance for the absent without fear,
without regret, she quietly passed
away, calling upon Jesus, blessed
Jesus almost with her last conscious
utterance. Truly, precious in the sight
of the Lord is the death of his saints.

OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.

CHICAGO, March %, 1886.
Wheat is decidedly blue and no mis-
take. The bears are having it nearly
all their way. Finer weather, larger
offerings, easier cables, unfavorable adj
vices from New York, and continued
labor troubles depress the market very
much. There was considerable huctu-
alton on Friday and Saturday and
wheat was very shaky; corn has been
pulled down by the other cereals and
has declined; provision were not active
and prices show downward tendency,
especially in pork. The live stock
market is pretty steady with a decline
in prices in consequence of large re-
ceipts and small shipments; cattle low
er; hogs lower; sheep lower than on
Friday. The produce market generally
shows decline on account of the
large receipts. Butter is pretty steady
at 80 to Sic, but nearly every other
item run down. The business in gen.
eral merchandise is growing fast. and
during the closing days of the last
week there was a larger number of
buyers in the city than there has been
for months past. The unusually warm
days during the week contributed
largely to the increase in the number of
buyers. There were many merchants
from the far West and Northwest in the
market on Friday and Saturday.
Prices are steady and buying liberal.
Railroad and Steamboat freights were
in fair demand. Collections good.
Money easy.

The JAMESTOWN r. X. CASE The
town of jamestown recently brought
suit again the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern Railroad for 81, 900 damages
for highway along the river in that
town. taken by the railroad company
as right-of-way. Clark & Mills are the
attorneys for the town and Orr & Low
ry for the company. The defense de-
INJURED to the complaint ON the ground
that under the law of this state the
town could not sue for damages unless
they had replaced the highway. They
could, however, bring action to compel
the railroad company to replace the
road. The demurrer was argued be-
fore Judge Clementson last Monday,
and was sustained. The plaintiffs
will either appeal to the supreme court
or bring a new action.

Our FACILITIEs.-No Notwithstanding
considerable sickness is reported and
the roads are all mud sup to the hub. -
we are rushed night and day to keep
abreast of our work. We have been
obliged this week to add two extra
printers to our already large force, hav-
ing twelve men now employed in all
departments and three large presses
running almost constantly. 1t is hard
ly probable any other county office this
side of Chicago can make an equal
showing, which is conclusive of the
prestige and reputation of the HERALD
for fine printing. In this connection
we would especially call the attention
of horsemen aud stockmen to the un.
surpassed facilities of this Office for
doing their class of work, at reasona-
BILE rates and in latest styles with dis
patch. No other Office in Southwest.
ern Wisconsin has SO large stock OF
type and cuts adapted for that class OF
work as the HERALD office. Fine pic
torial auction and hand bills, we print
in any one color desired without extra
charge, and in several colors are our
speciality, and in these styles of work
we have no competitors in this section,
and invite all interested to investigate.
OBITUARY.-Mr. M. A. Harper, one
of Grant County's oldest and best
known settlers, died at his home in
Madison, Friday March 10, and was
buried Monday afternoon. He had
been in fair health until about a year
ago he began to slowly fail, although
he was not strictly confined to his
bed, until two days before the end came.
A native of Green County, Pennsylvania,
where he was born June 8, 1914, he
came west in 1848 and located at Hazel
Green, Wis, on his present farm where
he continued to reside until last Septem-
Der, when he removed to Madison, in
order to give his younger children the
benefit of the superior educational adj.
vantages of that city. In 1841, he
married Miss Hester j.. Lewis, a West
Virginia lady, who survives him. Nine
children were born to them-one of
whom, a daughter, preceded the father
to the better land some nine years ago
and eight, besides the widow, survive
Chas. L., Saloma. Virginia, S. A. ,Craw-
ford, Carrie, Cornelius A. and Mildred
the eldest of whom is Charles L. Harper
of this city. Mr.. Harper was universally
respected and beloved. To know him
was to love him. A man of unusua
force of character and mind, he pos
sessed strong. independent convictions
of right; honorable and upright in all
his dealing with men, he was neigh
Dor and citizen who will be missed. He
was a most genial friend, loving anc
indulgent husband and father, and with
those who knew him his death leaves 8
void that cannot be filled.

This cannot be given il the school is as
