IT IS A PERFECT SUCCESS—THE VERT BEST
IX THE MARKET.
It Is a well knewn fact that one-lialf the heat pro
duced from the burning of fuel passes rapidly out
of the chimney, and is a total loss to the consumer.
If this escape cmld he checked wholly or in part,
the amount uf fuel used to attain a certain tempera
tare would be much less. This object has been fully
attained by this nw invention. It saves from one
tbird to one-half the fuel. It radiates double the
amount of heat of any cylinder of equal size. It is a
■park-arrestor. It is a neat and tasty contrivance,
capable of being attached to any parlor, sitting-room,
k itchen, railroad or office stove, and is a perfect stove
governor. It cannot get out of repair, and will pay
for itself every two iu.>utl.s. It has been thoroughly

DODGEVILLE,
THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. 3, 1867.
VW Readers, a happy r,ew year to you
all.
jgf”The lovers of the dance of our vil
lage were treated to a very pleasant party
at Morris’ Ilall on New Years evening.
pyffc are informed that the receipts
of tho Methodist meeting on
the 2Gth ult. were about $225.
Wanted Immediately. —A good girl to
do general house work, and one that can
cook well. No others need apply. En
quire of Mrs. Dr. Beach, Dodgeville.
Found. —A few days ago a gentlemen
in this village picked up in the street an
upper setof teeth. The owner can recover
them by calling at this office.
t-ST'TheYlitor £of the Grant County
Herald offers his library consisting of over
five hundred volumes of miscellaneous
books for sale.
JggpAt the late term of the Circuit
Court for'Columbia County, seven persons
were sentenced to imprisonment at Wau
pun.
Discontinued. —The post office at Ad
amsvilfe in this county has been discon
tinued, Mail matter heretofore' sent to
that office, should be directed to WcslElue
Mounds.
jgpThe Sheboygan* Times notes that>
new paper, specially dcvoted_to the tern
perar.ee cause,'is to he started in that city
shortly, by W. IT. Conner, S. D. Littlefield
and J. A. Straub.
Wisconsin .State Horticultural
Society have issued their annual circular
for 18C6. They have a meeting at Madi*
son from the 22d~t0 the 24th of January,
1867. A cordial invitation is extended to
all the friends of horticulture.
Retired —Win. Jay Whipple has re
tired from the Union and Times ,
and the paper will hereafter he under the
management of James M. Bracket. The
editor has hauled down the neutral flag,
and announces his intention of publishing
a Republican paper. Success to him.

hilf of a paper of their Best Chemical Sal
eralns, and then if they are not entirety
satisfied with its superiority over Soda or
any other brand ofSKratus, to return the
balance and pot the money for the whole
refunded. This Saleratus is perfect, there
fore they are willing to let it stand or fall
upon its own merit.
.<s-.
JdSU’As announced, Rev. W. Allington
delivered a lecture at the Court House on
last Monday evening. The lecture was
good, and gave entire satisfaction to those
in attendance, but we are sorry to say
that for the Literary Society
who had to foot the bill, and more unfor
tunately for the citizens themselves, the at
tendance was very meagre, which has
forced some persons to the conclusion that
the only affairs which can draw a crowd in
this place is a circus, a horse-race, a tea
ineeling or a street fight.
gSrih’of. Sands, the wovld renowned
Magician .and Ventriloquist, gave an exhi
bition at Morris’ lall on Saturday evening
last, and another on Tuesday evening.
The first exhibition, on account of not be
ing sufficiently known, was not very well
attended, but on Tuesday evening the large
hall was crowded. The lecture was very
interesting, and highly instructive, and the
feats of magic and sleight of hand were
better performed than any we have here
tofore witnessed. He advertises to give
another exhibition on Saturday evening
next. Admission 25 cts.
a meeting held in the town of
Dodgeville, one day last week, the subject
of providing for the poor and destitute of
our town was brought up, and discussed
at some length after which a resolution was
passed that the bachelors of this town
each contribute the sum of ten dollars,and
a sack of flour to this most worthy object.
It was also resolved that widowers of eight
or more years standing, be placed on the
same list and bo required to furnish their
quota of provisions and money, to feed and
clothe the destitute.
pgf-The men who are to have charge of
the affairs of our County for the next two
years were installed in their respective po
sitions at the court house, in this village,
on Tuesday afternoon, January 1. The
oaths of office were administered by Sam’l
W. Reese, Esq. During the day, hand
bills had been posted up through the vil
lage, invii.ing the citizens generally to par
take of an oyster supper given by the new
ly installed officers, at the Western Hotel.
And after the ceremonies were ended, the
whole company repaired to that place and
partook of the generous hospitality of the
County oSieials. And it was the univer
sal opinion that if they gave as good satis
faction on every succeeding day of their
term as they had done on the first, they
would deserve a unanimous rc-election.

much longer, as people are getting suspici

got the knife, but no matter. We only
charge $2,50 for this notice, which is be
low usual rates.”
Wolves and Wild Cats.
A law was enacted by the Legislature of
last winter t (Chapter 45), authorizing
any person to put out baits containing
poison for destroying wolves and wild cats,
from the 10th of January to the 20th of
February each year ; the baits are to be
placed at least a quarter of a mile from
any dwelling; all baits unconsumed to be
taken up within three days after the 20th
f February, Such is substantially the
law. **•>*>* ’
Were one or more persons in each school
district of lowa County to take a piece of
mutton or beef, tie it to the end of a rope,
mount a horse and drag it about the coun
try, leaving poisoned baits at known places
where the same may noted and taken up
if unconsumed; all wolves and wild cats
crossing such baited trail, would follow up
the same, partake of the poison and die.
Perhaps the simplest way to prepare a
bait is to take old, rancid lard, cut in thin
pieces, sprinkle on each slice strychnine in
quantity the bulk of one or two grains of
wheat, fold the slices over the poison and
deposit them along the scented track.
The only strychnine known as purs and
reliable is the crystallized, sold in small
bottles by druggists at $1 to $1,25. A
bottle of this is plenty for killing all ths
wolves and wild cats in a town.
The period of time above named wolves
and wild cats are most pressed by hunger,
and it is also their running tunc, when
ferocity leads them to run continually and
devour incautiously.
The penalty for neglecting to take up
bait within the time stated is a fine of not
less than five dollars, and whatever dam
age may be done to persons and property
by leaving it out.
J. Button, of Boscobel, a year or two
since, thus baited and found several wolves
dead a few yards from baits. J. B. Tur
ley, of Beetown, so ba ; ted, and found a
dead wolf the next morning, and one the
morning following. Several years since
Isaac McDonald killed three wolves with
strychnine, neither of them moving but *
few yards before falling dead.
California was, by concert of action as
above, cleared of wolves almost to the ut
termost in a single year.
DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE.
Pleasant—To be an Editor.
If yon let everything go as it happens,
you are a wooden man. If you attempt to
do your duty, you are trying to rule the
country. You are abused for not publish
ing any news ; and you are worse abused
if you do publish any People take of
fence if you notice them in your paper, or
they find fault if you don't notice thorn, so
that you never know whether you are to
meet anybody as you parted with them or
not. Your party demands the most im
plicit allegiance, and, on election dav,whcn
your prestige, which is your all, is at stake,
it heedlessly or purposely abstains from
voting, and allows you to be beaten to
death. If you are neutral on politics, you
are of course no good to anybody. You
are neither loved nor hated-.—simply des
pised. You can’t support ofce party, nev
er so fairly and high mindldly, without
being denounced as all that is mean by the
other. If you are so generous as to ad
mit that your opponents are men, acting
from as sincere and conscientious motives
as your own, you are in the market for
buyers. That you can have other than a
mercenary motive, even in your prayer*,
is ceuted. Your editorials are termed
Bcurrileout by your' enemies, and tame by
your friends. You are not read if your
paper is not spicy, and your paper is not
fit to be received into a decent family if it
is spicy. Your brains are the common
property of the public, to be cudgled to
death and forgotten. Your time must be
at the disposal of everybody who wants to
bore or quarrel with you; yet your bills
are the very last that are ever paid; indeed
you are lucky if you are ever paid at all.
You carry your detestable business with
you to your meals,Mo church, into society,
and are so eternally occupied with it as to
be chronically inattentive, and consequent
ly disagreeable. You are never at rest.
Even your dreams must be turned to some
account. And when you think you have
gotten out a good number of your paper,
some kind friend roughly dispells the illu
sion by glancing carelessly over it, throw
ing it down, and asking you if .here isany*
thing in it. Of course j'ou answer indif
ferently, and are taken at your word, and
that is the last of what seemed almost like
inspiration to you, so happily did it roll
from your pen. You become accustomed
to taunts r.nd slights, so that you pass for
a person of'no spirit, whom it is impossi
ble to insult. If you should take notice of
every cur snarling at your heels, on the
contrary, you would be a blackleg and an
idiot in the bargain. Moreover you would
Suon be food for worms, for you would have
a fight on hand every hour of the day, and
an assassin like attack at least once jvery
night. It is wall for the editor and for the
devils in hell that there is a great deal in
use. The latter, at their memorable coun
cil in .pandemonium, comforted themselves
with the idea that in time they would as
similate in substance with the fierce flies
into which they had been plunged from
hc.’itcti:
Our torments also may In length of time
Beeomo our elements; their piercing fire*
As soft as now severe, our teuij>er changed
Into their temper; which must needs remove
The sensible of pain .
The editor consoles himself with tho
idea that he will soon wear out a:;d be re
lieved by permission to join tbe aforesaid.
It may be asked, why are there editors,
since no one is compelled to adopt so hate
ful a profession, it is well known that
old soldiers come to love beyond everything
else the long roll which beats to arms. It
is so with an editor. Tumult, anti rows,
and wrangling, and confusion come to be
his element, without which be were dead
though he live. And his lot, mean as it is,
is much what he makes it, the same as oth
er people’s. And there are many worse
ones. There is something truly noble in
the editor’s mission, which is. we take it,
to give his readers as accurate ideas of
events and men as are to be had, and to
make such comments and suggestions as
seem likely to promote the public good.
Just in proportion to his ability and faith
fulness in performing this mission is his
power. Power is sweet, and such power
as this is a worthy object of ambition.
Finally, let all be pleased to remember
that the weak, cr cowardly, or unjust edi
tor, suffers far more from those faults lhan
by any possibility can his victims.

Mrs. Rev. James Sims desires to express
her thanks to the friends and sisters of th*
M. E. Church concerned in t’na surprise
parties lately given, one about two weeks
since, and the other on Saturday evening
tho 29th ult., for the most timely and val

I can only express my thanks in the lan
guage of another:
“Accept my thoughts for thinks; I have no words,
My soul, o’er fraught with gratitude, rejects
The aid of language; Lord ! behold my heart.”
A “Vagrant” in the Eves of Geor
gians.—Rev. William Fincher, a colored
missionary, who was preaching to and
teaching the people ot his ewn race in
Pike count}', Georgia, on a salary of thirty
five dollars per month, paid by certain
Northern benevolent associations, was ar
rested as a vagrant, tried, and sentenced to
the chain gang for one year. Ilis case
was carried up, and the action of the lower
court was approved, the Judge holding
that the North had no right to send money
South for such purposes, and, further, his
support was so precarious, that he was a
vagrant within the meaning of the law.
He is now serving out his sentence.

Fever and Ague Extinguished.
Martyrs to Intermittent Fever, *1 word with you
Tlie responsibility for your suffering rests upon your
selves. Just as surely as; you shake'to-day or will
shake to-morrow, HOST UTTERS CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTERS will extinguish the disease un
der which you labor. Had you taken this genial tonic
as a preventive, jyou would bare uo need of it as a
cure, for it renders the system impervious to all inia_
malic fevers. But since you neglected tlie precaution
rid yourself without delay, of the complaint byre,
sorting to the only reliable remedy. Break the chills
with HOSTETTEII’S BITTERS, and they will return
no more. This is the experience of thousands, and it
will be yours. Quinine is a slow means uf relief; it
is uaueeous to the last degree; it is more dangersus
than tlie malady itself; in many cases it utterly
fails. How different is the effect of the Bittsbs.—
Their curative action is rapid ; they are agreeable t*
the palate ; they are net only entirely harmless, but
tend inevitably to strengthen the constitution and
prolonglife; they iiseer hat* failed, and It is confi
dently assumed that they never can fail in any ease
of Fe er anu Ague, however inveterate in its charac
ter. To he without HOSTETTER’S BITTTRS In
any region infested with Intermittent or Remittent
Fever is simply to reject safety and court disease.
