REV. KENT, who occupied the II.
Nj. pulpit last Sunday morning and
evening, was greeted with large
audience. His lecture Monday
evening on "Why Christians do not
Like to Read the Bible" was lis
tened to by large number, all be-
ing well pleased.
SINCE our last issue Mr.. f. ID.
Phillips, residing about midway be-
tween here and Dodgeville, has ex-
hibited to us a twig from a crab
apple tree to which was attached a
crab and blossom. Mr.. Phillips
informed us that he plucked it from
a tree on his premises that same
day, and that the tree was heavily
loaded in like manner.
OUR stirring barber, Adolph APP
pei, last Friday added a magnificent
and useful piece of furniture to his
shop. II is called a barbers's mir
ror dressing case. Its length is
eleven feet. In the upper half are
two large mirrors, "a 54 inches
each. AT the center is a shelf full
length, and the lower part is de-
voted to drawers, etc. 1t is some
new in these parts, and "Ader" has
received numerous compliments on
his purchase.
LAST Thursday President Harri-
appointed a citizen of Washington
Territory agent at the Yakima In
dian Agency, in that territory. This
is the position held by Capt. Thos.
Priestley for nearly three years.
Priestley is Democrat, but a loyal
citizen and brave soldier, and his
removal is regarded by his numerous
Republican friends hereabouts as a
great mistake. Such worthy citizens
should be permitted to serve out
their term, at least.
"Gody's Lady'S Book" for Octo-
ber is replete with valuable matter
for the ladies. This favorite maga-

teresting reading matter for the fire
side, kitchen and boudoir. Hand
sol and accurate fashion and work
plates are given with each issue,
together with a beautiful frontis-
piece illustration. 1t is the cheap
est, because it is the best fashion
journal published. Price, $500
per year, Philadelphia, Pa.

The trial before Justice Horn last
Friday Of J. NJ. Hales, Mont. Smith
and Ed. Early, arrested on the
charge Of riot, made by Dodgeville
parties, was dismissed. The motion
of the defendants, by their attor-
neys, to dismiss the complaint be-
cause it did not state any ofTense
against defendants, in that Is did
not set up or specify any unlawful
act which they were assembled to
