COUNTY SEAT


From the Chronicle;
There will be term of the ooun-
ty court held in Dodgeville next
Tuesday, July 3, after which there
will not be another session until
September 4th, the law giving the
county judge vacation during July
and August.
From the sun:
John Lye, living near Dodgeville,
met with a severe accident one day
last week. In attempting to hold a
calf he was kicked just below the
knee and the bone broken. a lady
surgeon who lives near was called
and set the broken limb, since which
time MIR. Lye has been confined to
the house, and undoubtedly will be
for several weeks.
Some street fakirs and gamblers
were plying their trade upon our
streets last Monday afternoon and
taking money from the pockets of
all who invested in their schemes.
But, we understand, that through
the Interference of Rev. John
Hardcastle, who openly and man
fully denounced them, they were
compelled to discontinue their ne
farious business by receiving no pat
ronage from the crowd. Why men
will be duped by those scoundrels
has always been a mystery to us,
and why any village board will
grant them a license to ply their
trade, when they certainly know
that they simply grant them the
privilege to cheat and rob their
fellow citizens, seems to show a
certain lack of public interest on
their part.

ABoUr half.past two Monday
afternoon the 18th, there was a
heavy thunder aud lightning storm
in the vicinity Of Pecatonica. Gill
Moore, farmer, who lives about
&. n mile south Of the village, was
riding sulky plow when a bolt of
lightning struck the team, killing
both horses right in their tracks.
The shock threw Mr.. Moore head
long from his seat on the plow, but
he was not inj ared, ,-Galena Gazette.
