The G.. y. r. Post. of this village.
at its meeting on Tuesday evening,
decided to attend the reunion at Min
eral Point. June 9th and 10th. in a

Some evil disposed persons are dis
posed, occasionally to NEEDLE with the
telephone wire between this village
and Mineral Point, much to the annoy
ance Of the operators of the line and
the general public. The fact that the
line is badly out of repair is no EXCUSE
for such mischievous persons to inter
fere with it,
From The Avoca Headlight.
Mr.. O'Leary, from the county Of
Dundreary, a gintleman Of renown,
was on the scurry; in dell Of hurry,
while passing this town. Mr.. OLeary,
the original, was in fact trying to earn
a thousand dollars for walking a mile
| in thousand hours, or else it was a
thousand miles in an hour. However,
in either case, our figure may be wrong.
He passed this village on Thursday
last, at II p. m.
John W. Gum, Of Highland, is now
on the editorial staff of the Iowa
County Democrat, and the way he sings
ink, and proceeds to dish up Highland
in slices a foot broad, is caution.
On Wednesday last. James Har-
yey, his son William, and Beach Ben
nett while shngling Mr.. Harvey's res
idencc, were all precipitateds to the
ground, some ten feet, by the breaking
of the scaffold on which they were
standing The two Mr.. Harveys only
were hurt. Mr.. II. received some Sc
we're injuries in the chest while Will
lam had a shoulder badly bruised.
From the distance they were thrown,
the only wonder is that there was not
a pair and half of necks broken.
They are getting on nicely.

In District Court in Dubuque Thurs
day night the jury brought in a verdict
of not guilty in the case of John
Ahearn charged with killing bar
tender named Ruchte in a saloon in
that city in October, 1888, by striking
him on the head with beer glass.
The defense was that the dead mans
skull was SO thin that the blow which
broke it and caused his death would
not have any effect on skull of or
binary thickness. Aheam had been
tried twice before, the jury each time
failing to agree. No member of that
jury will ever be acquitted upon the
same ground.
