1t is reported that Walter Sprat
Ter, of this city, but who at present
is employed at railroad station on
the Central line in an Illinois town
while feasting on raw oysters recent
ly found in the bivials pearl worth
at feast si50.
The Viroqua Censor publishes a
list of taxpayers of that city VINO
pay over $40 taxes. From which 1t
appears that the proprietor of the
Censor, Q. G. Munson, is the richest
man in the city, the amount Of his
tax exceeding that of any other in
d.vidual in the list, being $3S9,76.
One firm of this city alone sold
$50 worth of sn til on for the holidays.
Judging from this there must have
been at least $500 worth disposed of
by our merchants altogether. AS the
saffron i'm Christmas cake repre-
4sents not over ten per cent of its cost,
the quantity of such cake made for
the recent Christmas must have
been enormous, and the value 5000
The M. E. church congregation
was especially favored last Sunday
with vocal duet, Il will wait up
on the Lord from Memberships
Hymns of Praise, rendered, on re-
quest, by Mrs. Edith Chandler Ham
mil, of jefferson, and Miss Grace
Chandler, of Galena, who lately re-
turned from foreign tour, and here
as holiday guests at the home of their
sister, Mrs. Emma Chandler Hendra.
Platteville Witness: Petty pill
fering is going on to certain extent
around this city. e. Barnes had Il
sack of corn taken from his farm
at the north city limits few days
ago. The loss amounts to nothing
compared with the knowledge that
one can hardly feel safe unless every
thing is under lock and key. \
Mary had n little lamb, it fol-
lowed her to church, and there it
stood out side like an owl upon a
perch. Why don't the little lamb
come in? The curious people cried.
Why, Mary told the little thing to
wait for her outside. So you, each
gentle maiden, may one and all still
find some sheep-head waiting near
the door, if you admire that kind.
Mr.. Joseph Treweek started Tues
day morning for Stanton, Ariz., the
home of his sister, Annie. He Will
look the field over with a view to es-
tablishing himself in the practice of
law, for which he is fitted by full
course in the Wisconsin University
law school, from which he has Il

he has the stuff in him to succeed in
his chosen profession, and we know
that he has the character of head
and heart to win public confidence
and esteem wherever he may be.
