Prof. Butterworth, of Nash
vile was here two days this week,
He came up with the intention
of excepting the position III the
high school here recently vacat-
ed by Prof. J. F. Gaines, but
owing to the fact, that he failed
to find room and lodging, he was
obliged to return TO his home in
the city. What a great pity that
the people here can't see the
advantages of having a dormit-
DRY erected at once. School can
never be what il should, with
out one, and why not have the
matter attended to at an early
date. All on earth the school
lacks at the present time, is a
dormitory. Pupils from every
part of the county are continually
leaving here. TO enter school
elsewhere. all because they cant
get a place to board. It's 4

Ma. ried, July 5th, by Samuel Thomas,
Esq, Mr.. Andrew McGranahan of this
city to Miss Alwilda Scott of Yellow
stone.
A Sunday school convention of the
M. +. church for the Mineral Point
District, West Wisconsin Conference,
is to assemble in this city July 9th.
The Mineral Point Marble Works of
Shepard & Bush is one of the best CON
Quoted establishments in the west.
The Primitive Methodist Sunday
school will give concert Sunday after
noon.
BY published proceedings of the com
mon council, we find that the hour at
which saloons must be closed is fixed at
II O'Clock instead of 10, as first re.
solved. By the same means we learr
that all stands along the streets on the
4th of July had to pay the city Iicens,
of SO.

fROM me TRIBUNE FILES


Early this morning we received the
following dispatch from Madison
County seat question just decided in
favor of Mineral Point. Judge Paine de-
livering the opinion. A few minutes
thereafter the whole city was aroused
by the firing of cannon, ringing of
bells, etc. About z o'clock Young
America" formed a procession and
marched throughout the city. Our city
cannon not being large enough, mes
senger was dispatched on the morning
train for Warren, to procure large
twelve-pounder and returned with il on
the train at noon,
The 4th passed off in this city in fine
style. The exercises at Millions Grove
were fine. Judge Cothren read the Dec
laration of independence, after which
Gen. Smith re-delivered an old Grafton,
which was excellent and had lost moth
ing of its brilliancy by keeping, Two
extra trains were run over the Mineral
folnt Is. IL, which, as well as the reg
ular, were crowded to excess. In the
evening the grand torchlight procession
passed off admirably, the lights from
the torches Illuminating the streets
brilliantly. The display of fire works
was exquisite. Verify, we think the 4th
of July, 1859, will long be remembered |
by those who participated.
The Sabbath schools of the Primitive |
Methodist and Presbyterian churches
each held their annual picnic on Thurs
day of last week, the former going on
cars to Warren and returning to River
side where they alighted. and the latter
holding forth in the beautiful grove in
the yard surrounding Gen. Terry's res
idence.

their tour Saturday and were serenaded
by the Episcopal choir, the cornet band
and the rattats and tooters.
The annual bible meeting of the city,
an auxiliary of the American Bible
Society, was held at the M. +. church
on Sunday evening. The attendance
was not large.
The national holiday was shsmefully
ignored in Mineral Point while the OBJ
servance at villages, towns and school
districts throughout the county was
general and marked The day in this
city was similar TO what Sabbath
might be with vacation of Sunday
schools. The Good Templars' festival
entertainment at city hall was the prin-
cipal feature Of the day.
On June 26th the marriage of Mr..
Harris, of our City Bank, and Miss
Dora Given of Cambria occurred

pleasing exercises were held at the

@ What is the explanation of the
excessive growth of giants? w. II.
A. Giants suffer from a disease of
the gland at the base of the skull An
ex-ray picture of the brain will show if
this gland is affected. Children of alb
normal growth or corpulence should be
examined in this respect, and if affected,
should be treated.
Q. How should Mary Smith married
to John Smith. be addressed7 c. S.
A. 1t is considered preferable to call
her Mrs. John Smith. Should she be-
come "a widow, however, she would be
addressed as Mrs. Mary Smith.
Z. How may broken crockery be
mended? S. w.
A. One of the strongest cements,
according to the Scientific American
Cyclopedia of Formulaes, and one easily
applied, is lime and the white of an egg.
To use it, take sufficient quantity of
the egg to mend one article at a time,
shave off quantity of lime, and mix
thoroughly. Apply quickly to the edges,
and place firmly together. Mix but
small quantity at time, as it hardens
quickly.
Q. How did the fourth of March
come to be chosen as the day for the in
auguration of presidents o. IL. G.
A. Benjamin Franklin selected this
date because it fell less frequently on
Sunday than any other date in the year
during the two centuries that were to
follow.
Q. What is shooting star? S. N. A.
A. The best accepted theory of the
shooting star is that it is piece of
matter thrown off by some planet and
which travels through space at great
speed. When it strikes the atmosphere
that surrounds the earth the friction
heats it until it becomes luminous or
even until it is entirely consumed.
