Local Exchanges.

Democrat: Mineral Point is 10 be
lighted by electricity. The Zinc Com
pany win put in plant at their works,
and the proposition to furnish sixty
lights for the streets of the city for a
term of five years has been accepted by
the common council.
Dodgeville Cronieal: A rather anus.
ing mistake occurred last Saturday after
noon at the fair ground during the show
parade. A couple of young men from
Linden had hitched their horse attached
to buggy on the ground near where a
lady had tied her horse, also hitched to
a buggy. The lady met lady friend
who wanted to 60 home down in the
city, and told her to take her horse and
buggy and ride down, which she thought
she did, and tied the animal TO the fence
when she got home. But when the
Linden young men went to get their
horse they found it was gone. They
notified the sheriff at once and proceed
ed with the usual precautions to capture
the horse thieves. and after a great deal
of hustle and anxiety found their horse
and buggy down town tied to the fence
where the lady had left it who took it
by mistake.
Monitor: In sinking well about s
miles north of Montfort in the locality
called Red Oak, d. Nero has encount-
cred strata of rock at depth of about
40 feet that defies all efforts to penetrate
it. 1t dulls drill point very quickly
and no apparent progress is made. He
shipped bit to Galena Monday to be
sharpened
Prairie du CHEN Union. The Copper
Mines in this country that were fairly
developed years ago, and abandoned
for lack Of capital to operate steam
pumping machinery, are about to be re-
opened by wealthy parties from Super
lor.
Fennimore Times; Joe Book met
with an accident Sunday that came near
proving fatal, but then Joe was partially
to blame He hired a buggy. borrowed
the editors tongue CHATS what got
Joe into trouble) and hitched up to 90
and see his best girl over at Muscoda.
Joe says the tongue was to short at one
end, and that it Topped up and down
too much Well, perhaps, there is
something in that, but then, Joe should
not expect too much from an editor
tongue! Anyway the traces came UNI
+, hooked while going down steep hill
and Joe set there and let the editors
tongue fall right down onto the ground
into the dirt, and he declares it ran
about four feet into the earth-and still
claims it was too short We can't i'm
aglne how much tongue Joe would want
a fair-sized editor to have, but it seems
to us that the four feet that was broken
off would be a sufficient quantity for a
young man to borrow to take along TO
see his best girl on Sunday afternoon.
Consequently Joe fell out of the buggy,
and the buggy fell over onto Joe and
got quite badly wrecked. c. the bug
gy not Joe, the team skipped out and
left the editors tongue, Joe and the
buggy all IN a heap. Luckily the dam
ages were light and Joe is apparently
as good as ever.

Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1891-04-02

Here, for instance, is q story, taken
from the Chicago Herald. of boy who
wished for a half-holiday. but, as his
father knew, was not really in want
of it.
When ! was about IL years old I one
day rebelled against going to school. /
preferred the hook and line and the
babbling brook, and said to father, q
farmer, at the dinner-table: "Can't
stay out of school this afternoon
"Oh, yes" he answered, promptly,
to my no little surprise.
ate my dinner with keen anticipa-
ton of jolly afternoon, but as we rose
from the table father said: @Come
with me. need little help in pick
ing mp the fallow ground"
When the trees of the forest were
felled they we're cut into logs, rolled
together, and burned, after which il
was necessary to pick up the charred
sticks and make smaller heaps for an
other fire. When father said, Some
with me-" knew what he meant, and
/ went.
At night was as black as a negro
and sour as lemon, and the next
morning / said: @Father, think
would rather go to school to-day"
