last, as people were returning home
from church, fire was discovered in the
rear of the butcher shop of W. H.
Jacka, on High street. The wind was
blowing very stiff gale at the time,

the FIRE which caught in the frame
work of a window and had just fairly
started, was soon extinguished. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
James Mcconnell, a brakeman on
the c., NJ. & st. P. railway, between

the rear platform when his head was
st ruck by a switch and he was thrown
to the ground breaking his leg. His
residence is in Milwaukee, where he
has a wife and one child. His mother,
Mrs Jane Mcconnell, of Mineral Point,
went to his bedside on Tuesday.
The Boscobel Dial tells as follows
how the perpetrators of a foolish joke
came to grief: John Comstock was
riding a large gray horse Of John
VarrelIs Sunday, and ran him up on
the sidewalk to scare John Leasman,
when the horse broke through. Under
the walk was gully made by running
water, and the horse went into that
nearly up to his back. The walk had
to be torn up, and he was gotten out
after being considerably bruised about
the limbs and body"
