She will shortly go to Milwaukee

sympathy of hosts of friends.

The Rural Eye editor is an ex-

that since he left Arena and came to
Dodgeyille, he is fast dropping the
Welsh cultural sounds, and taking up
the Cornish aspirates. He can now
with ease and grace say the heirs
(hairs) of salvation; an the hairs (airsl
of our head are all numbered, &c. &c.
Richard Edwards Of Pleasant View,
La Fayette county, is at Dodgeville
helping Mr.. Hardcastle in his pro-
tracted meetings this week.
Ed. Murphy, hotel keeper of this
place, was arraigned before Justice G.
G. Meigs last Wednesday, and con-
victed of selling beer without license,
for which he was fined $50 and costs.
However, if we are crediDly informed,
either through the mistake of the JUS
tice or the district attorney, Murphy
was finally relieved from paying the
costs. AS a man, We have nothing
against Mr.. Murphy, for we have found
him accommodating and gentlemanly,
but his liquor selling IS against the in
terests of the whole county, causing
higher taxes, misery, crime and heart
aches; so he ought to quit violating
the laws of man and God. We should
like to recommend his hotel if he
would make it a clean temperance
house. S. II. 5.
When Macbeth ironically asked,
"Canst thou minister to a mind dis
diseased" he little knew that mankind
would one day be blessed with Ayers
Sarsaparilla. In purifying the blood
this powerful Alternative gives tone and
strength to EVERY function and facul-
ty of the system.
