\ great revival in mining has taken
place at Shullsburg. Benton. Galena
and New Diggings. Within the last
/ two weeks three valuable discoveries
of lead ore have been made near Ga
lena. and rich deposits of dry bone
and black jack have recently been IN
covered at other points.
1t has been expected for some time
past that the strongholds of wickedness
in Mineral Point would be attacked by
the Salvation Army. But so far the
Army has failed to put it appearance,
owing to failure to secure a suitable
building in which to hold meetings, or
some other like cause.
The attention Of the readers of The
Democrat is called to the advertise
ment of the public sale of Short Horn
Cattle, Cotswold Sheep, Horses, Hogs, !
and farm machinery, which takes
place at the farm Of George Stephen- /
son & Son, five miles northeast of the
city of Darlington, on Wednesday and /
Thursday. Feb. Goth. and 2lst. The
cattle are from the well known Dur
ham Hill herd, and the sale will,
without doubt, be largely attended.
In a recent letter received from
Garden & Minor, of Belmont, among .
other things, we found card adyer-
tisement of That" I.iniment, the .
justly famous preparation for the re-
lief of the pain of burns, scalds or
wounds. THAT" Liniment is having, |
as it deserves to have, a wonderful |
sale. No family should be without it.
Thousands who have tried it testify
to the fact of it being an invaluable
remedy. If you have never tried it, do
so, and we are sure you will always
keep it in the house" Prepared by
Garden & Minor, and for sale by all
druggists.
Horse buying is brisk in Mineral
Point, James Rudy and Philip
Beckett have, during the past few
weeks, bought large number and
shipped them to Chicago, their last
shipment being eighteen head on
Tuesday. On Monday d. W. Kennedy,
another buyer, arrived in town, and
registered at the L. :. Hotel. He
intends to visit the surrounding towns
and will buy for the Boston market.
He will be found at the livery barn Of
Samuel Sims, Mineral Point, each Fri
day and Saturday during February.
The breeds of horses in southwestern
Wisconsin have been greatly improved
during the few year last past; and a
section which once gets a reputation
for producing a good class of horses
will not lack buyers or a good market.
On Wednesday Of last week an in
formal meeting Of farmers was held at
the residence of Edward Dunn, in the
town of Mineral Point, to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of cooperating with other
farmers throughout the country in an
effort to defeat the ends of the bind
ing Irvine trust, which it is feared will
greatly advance the price of binding
Irvine the coming season. After some
general discussion, it was decided to
invite all farmers in this vicinity to
meet at the City Hall, Mineral Point,
on Saturday, Feb. 9th, to organize and
take united action for the purpose
of protecting their interests in this re
gard. John Proctor and VIM. Berry
were appointed a committee to ar
range for this meeting, and at their
request The Democrat publishes this
notice; and we hope that farmers gen
orally will attend and take part in the
proceedings. How to down the trusts
is yet an unsolyed problem. The
in the state of New York
are meeting with some success in pro-
ceeding against them upon the ground
of conspiracy, under the common law;
but to make this or any other plan
effective, there must be general up
rising of the people, to support the
