IRoNBRIGADE REUNION A HERALD
reporter, in conversation with some of
Lancaster's distinguished veterans of
1.-the late unpleasantness," alluded to
the fact that in some parts of the coun-
try Union veterans were celebrating the
silver (twenty-ffth) anniversary of
their departure for the front. The
Massachusetts boys led off by celebrating
fortnight ago, while some of the New
York boys observed the 28thult. "Yes,"
one said, 'it is quarter of century
ago this May since we enlisted" An
other remarked sit would be 25 years
the first of October since we formed
our brigade, comprising the End, 9th
and 9TH Wisconsin regiments and 10Th
Indiana regiment, under command of
Gen. King. Something over year
later the oath, Michigan was added, and
later the brigade became honorably
known to fame rs the Iron Brigade
of the West although the use of the
word Iron did not come until the
men had earned it, This fact is of
more than n passing interest to the
survivors and will make their reunion
this fall IN occasion of extraordin-
airy interest.

LITERARY CLUB.-The Literary Club
met Tuesday evening at the rooms of
Miss Watts at the Hubbard House.
There was a very full attendance and a
good deal of interest manifested in the
discussion of the able paper of Capt. A.
K. Bushnell on the Origin, Environment
and Destiny of Man. The essayist took
the ground that evolution satisfactorily
accounted for the origin of man, and
that it was no less meritorious for the
Creator to have created man through
millions of years than to have done so in
a day. The regular disputants were DIR.
A. II. Barber and Fred McNair. Revs.
Pulford and Eaton took part in the gem

JOSEPH Cooks LECTURE. Lancaster
was well represented at Platteville Mon
day evening, the occasion being Rev.
Joseph Cooks lecture, Does Death End
All?" Although n fluent and easy speak
or, he is not striking rs an orator, and
the force of his lecture consisted III what
he said rather than how he said it.
He gave first n prelude on the Labor ques-
ton which was timely and occupied about
% minutes in delivery. He then deliv-
cred his lecture as announced. He add
vanced many original thoughts that
were as grand as his subject is deep. and
we regret that lack of space forbids even
Il brief review of them in our columns
this week. We have an abstract of the
lecture which we win give our readers
next week.

SUDDEN DEATH OF Mrs. RossIE. -
During the last few weeks we have been
called upon to chronicle number of
sudden deaths, but none which was less
| expected or caused more universal sur
prise to our citizens than that of Mrs.
Margaret Rossie. She had her home
with her nephew, John X. Simison, for
whom she kept house. On Monday she
was in apparently good health and per-
formed her usual household duties. That
afternoon Mr.. Simison was one of the
load who went to Platteville to hear
Joseph Cook. Returning about 8 o'clock
Tuesday morning, his aunt not arising
to admit him, he effected an entrance
through window, and on going to her
bedside discovered that she was dead.
As the body was still warm she had evil
IDENTIFY died but few minutes before,
and apparently without struggle. Mrs.
Rosie was past 20 years of age, ma
tive of Scotland and widow of the late
John Rosie, farmer near this city,
who died more than Is years ago. She
leaves no children. She was a member
of the Congregational Church, a woman
of quiet and retiring disposition, and led
consistent Christian life. Rev. DR..
Eaton will conduct the funeral services
from Mr.. Simison's residence at 2
o'clock this wednesday, afternoon.

ELoCUTIoN. = Mrs. Eugene Scott
Blocher, an elocutionist of marked abili-
ty, has been giving instruction to mem
bers of the graduating class at the Nor
NAL School, Platteville, and to other
pupils. She has an excellent reputation,
and at the Dairymaids' Festival recently
held in Platteville her selections were
well received. She is anxious to make
an engagement in Lancaster, and it is
probable win come here some time next
week under the auspices of one of the
churches. She is undoubtedly worthy
of liberal patronage. Her engage
ment, if made, will be announced by
hand-bills.

CRY HEALTH Probably at no time
within year has the general health of
our city been better than at present.
This is due beyond doubt to the excel
lent sanitary condition of the city on
account of its elevated location. Be-
cause this is the condition now, it does
not follow that the board of health
should be less vigilant. 1t is of the
first importance that rigid sanitary
measures with view to thorough
cleanliness be insisted upon. All the in
dicati0ns point to a probable cholera
scare this summer, if not visitation
from the dreaded disease. Preventive
remedies are safest rs we'll as cheapest
1t will be little less than wrong to
neglect due precautions in the interest
of public health.
