A. FARMER named Daub, living
near Fort Atkinson, has had a
peculiar feeling in his stomach for
some weeks past. A physician ad-
mlnlstered strong emetic, which
relieved him of a full.grown dead
mouse. Daub has been in the habit
of taking maps" in his barn, and
thinks while sleeping the mouse
ran down his throat. The physicians
say they never heard of such case
before.
From the La Sale, H., Tribune,
we learn of the death of Frederick
Moeller, at that place Sept. 18th, at
the age of 81 years. Mr.. MoeIer
was well known in Mineral Point,
having come here when l2 years of
age from Saxony, and resided in our
midst for about % years, when he
moved with his family to La Sale.
He had been suffering for some
time with softening of the brain,
which disease caused his death. He
leaves four daughters and two sons
to mourn his departure.
EACH county seat postmaster in
the United States has been appoint
ed inspector Of all the post-oflices n
the county. There will be five
grades of oflices--perfect, excellent,
good, fair, poor--and at the end of
each fiscal year the postmaster gen
eral will report to the President
those who rate the highest for such
honorable mention as he may see fit
personally to make. This, however,
leaves room for the query: who is
to inspect the aft airs of the post
master at the county seat?
On the 18th, 10th and 18th Of
October, there will be a teachers
institute held in this city. Prof
S. Y. Gillen, of the Milwaukee
Normal School, and Prof. L. b. Pray
of the Whitewater Normal School,
will conduct the institute. A hearty
invitation is extended to all teachers

is no reason why this should not
prove one of the most interesting
and profitable Institutes ever held in
the county,
MINERAL POINT and all country

but in a sufficient quantity to cause
great rejoicing throughout this
region the next morning.
The Mineral Point band is an
assured thing when one or two more
