FROM THE TRIBUNE FILES
Sixty Years Ago. 1859.

Patrick Timmins, laborer on the
Mineral Point Il. X, was killed Friday
night about eight miles from this city.
He had evidently become intoxicated
and fallen or lain down upon the track
between the rails.
The bill to amend the charter of our
city has passed both branches of the
Legislature and no doubt ere this re-
celved the signature of the governor.
The examination of the seminary
students came off on Thursday and was
well attended. 1t is true a public
examination is not always the place to
obtain correct knowledge of the profic-
iency of students, yet we have no hest
fancy in saying that friends of the sem
mary have just reason to be proud of
the manner in which the institution is
at present conducted.
Died, in the town of Mineral Point, on
Friday last DR.. John Loofborrow. aged
about rs years. He has been resident
since 1923 and the place he has filed in
this community, both as physician and
citizen, will not soon be filled.
