During the past few weeks roads in
the vicinity of Grant river have several
times been impossible, occasioned by
the melting of snow and rise in the riv-
er. Messrs Stephens and Taylor in
returning TO Beetown from this city
came near losing their lives and team at
Shutdown. They were both submerged
in attempting to cross, and their rig and
team swept away by the flood. Their
team was found next day, one dead and
tie other much worse off for the advent
ure.
The Bee-keeper's Association held
their session in this city last week, We'd
nesday and Thursday. The attendance
was small. Several interesting papers
were read on the different lines of Bee
keeping, followed by discussions of the
methods presented. The meeting,
though interesting to those present, was
not very pronounced success, the en-
thusiasm necessary in such an organic
alton being sadly lacking, evidenced
from the small number who took part.
Delegations were present from Boscobel.
Bloomington. Platteville and several
other points in this county
The Lancaster Literary Society met

Next Monday evening April 9th,
Hon. r. G. HorT, ex-congressman from
Michigan, will discuss the Labor
Problem at the City Hall. His appear
ance here before is sufficient to warrant /
good attendance. this will probably
be one of the best entertainments of the |
season. His pathos, wit, and fine sense
of oratory have won for him universal
favor, and the management is to be
congratulated on the success they have
gained in being able to secure such a
prominent lecturer. His subject ought
to draw large house, and his deep
study into the different phases of life,
coupled with his forcible style of dis
cussion, will present to his audience a
pleasure rarely enjoyed.
