Shulsburg Local: Subscriptions arc
being rapidly paid in the Driving Park
Association. The old stocking was
taken down and the bright pieces re-
gretfully parted with few more yes
terday. But there will be no cause fOr
regret after the July meeting. Stock
holders will have dividend, and it
will not be at far distant date either
sun Prairie COuntryman: The best
sale of tobacco in this section that has
yet come to our knowledge is Mr.
All. Harland, to Mr.. Miller, of
Stoughton. He received 10 cents for
wrappers, for binders and II for fill
ers. The buyer pronounced the crop
one of the very best he had seen this
year. Mr.. Harland had five acres.

bound passenger train and 50 badly
injured that she died at S:45 Il. m.

The Pecatonica correspondent of
The Dodgeyille Chronicle says: While
a young man from Mineral Point was
out fishing in the Pecatonica, and
meeting with poor success, he spied a
young lady further up the stream who
was having good luck, and a new idea
struck him. He went to her and offer
ed to bate her hook if he should get
every other fish, she to get the first one
This the Young lady agreed to and she
swung her line around in such Il way
as to fastcn her hook in tie back of
his neck. The young man says he has
no objections to the young ladies catch
ing beaux, but he don't believe in
their ''hooking" them.
Dodgeyille Chronicle: Me58rs. W.
j. Pearce, VIM. Mundy, David Bailey
James Pratt, George Bartle, Henry.
Williams, Thos. Harvey, J. r. Smoker
VIM. Bergman, James Kelly and B.
L, Daycy have formed Il company for
the purpose Of unwatering and develop
the mines on the lands belOning to the
estate of the late Joseph Pearce, at the
west end of Spring street, in this vii
lage, and will at once pat on an engine
and pump with this object in view.
The mines in question We're among the
richest in the region, years ago, but
the water being too strong for the facil-
tiles then provided for removing it.
they have been allowed to lie idle for Il
period. Past experience
indicates that with the aid of an engine
the mines can be unwatered SO as to
allow them to be worked considerably
deeper than ever before. and when this
is done they will in all probability fur
niSh profitable employment to at least
fifty men. We hope that the enterprise
of the gentlemen above named may be
crowned with complete success, and
that others may be induced to follow
their example.
