a Serious Accident.
Dodgeville Chronicle:

Dodgeville Chronicle:
Benz. o. Williams, who resides
several miles northeast of this city,
was seriously injured last Friday
while cutting wood about quar-
ter of mile west of his home.
He was cutting off the tops of some
willow trees about six feet from the
ground and it is supposed that he
was standing on limb of an adj
joining tree when he fell to the
ground upon his face and the limb
which he was cutting falling upon
him. In some unknown manner he
succeeded in mounting his horse,
which was standing near where the
accident occurred, and in a semi-con-
scious condition reached his home.
DR.. VIM. Reese, of this city, was i'm
mediately summoned and found that
his nose was broken, mis- left face
bone crushed in, the back Of his
skull fractured, both jaw bones
broken, his backbone injured, his
left leg badly bruised and some in
ternal injuries. Or. Reese telegraphed
for Dr. Robinson of Chicago, who ar
rived Saturday morning and the two
performed an operation which re-
moved the portion of the skull which
was resting upon the brain and 9th
erwise relieved the sufferer.
1t is said that move will be
made to have the legislature now
in session made an appropriation for
the purpose of sinking some deep
drill holes in this mining district to
test the lower formations as to their
mineral bearing qualities. There ars
different opinions in regard to what
might be discovered by deep drill
ing but great many who have giver
the matter study, believe that large
deposits of ore underlie the random
at which mining has thus far beer
prosecuted, IF it was demonstrated
that there are large veins Of ore un
derneath the present workings, CAPT
tai could readily be obtained to carry
on deep mining.

OF A MOUNTAIN RIVER.

Whou ! fell the breeze of autumn
Then my heart with rapture tariffs,
Thinking of q mountain river
Where it winds among The hills
Like a silver sarphent triing
BY the yine-clad steps Of stone
And the fallen bole ana boulder
With the MOSES overgrown.
Where I've hreathed the musky frag
rance
OF the yellow muscadines.
As if incense from a censor
In the swinging wreathc5 of vines
Where the winds wild harp was play
ing
With cadence sweet and low.
Like the half forgotten music
OF the songs OF long ago.
In the dappled days of fall time
With the shadow and the CLEAN
Oft I've wandered by the waters
OF that wild romantic stream,
Lone. lover lost in dreaming,
With the heart of youth atuned
To The melancholy murmer
That the ripping river crooned
with the splenlOr of the autumn
And the thoughts that fill my breast
With a hope of joy intending
Comes again the same unrest
That | feel of old a dreamer
OF a life with love replete.
Where the mountain river ripples
With the balsam breezes sweet.
