Big Mineral.
Quite a sensation was created on
lowa Street, Monday morning, by
the exhibition of a piece of lead ore
weighing nine hundered pouncls, which
Was taken out of a drift on the farm of
Thos. Cutler, about four miles east of
town, on Saturday, and which was
discovered by M?. Cutler’s little son,
Richard, only eleven years old. Rich
ard was out in the field after the cows,
when something prompted him to
look into the level, and seeing what he
thought looked like it might be the
corner of a piece of “mineral,” in the
upper right-hand corner of the drift,
be went to the bouse and got his
brother James, aged about 15,and the
two went to work with picks to take
it out. The boys soon found they
had a much bigger thing on hand than
they had any idea of, but finally suc
ceeded in getting it down on the bot
tom of the level, when they procured
help and bad it brought to the house.
Mr. Cutler informs us that the level
from which this was taken was one he
had run last winter between two crevi
ces, one of which has been worked out,
but he hopes by sinking a shaft on the
other to find a good paying ‘Mead,”
and we hope be may. This was the
largest piece of “mineral” ever seen
by most of those who saw it, hut we
understand that some larger ones have
been taken out, years ago,in the village
and vicinity.

Roger Jones, an old citi
zen of Dodgeville, narrowly escaped
a fatal accident on last Saturday. He
was hauling a load of square timbers
from Avoca, for his mill dam on Otter
creek,and when about three miles
north-west of Pine Knob postoffice, a
hog emerging suddenly from the brush
by the roadside frigh <ined the team,
causing them to jump from the road,
upheaving the timber on which Mr. <
Jones was riding, so as to throw him
violently to the ground. The team
than ran a short distance, but stopped
of their own accord. Mr. Jones
struck on his head and face, receiving
some very severe bruises, and for a
short time was knocked senseless, but
presently was able to get up and walk to
a house near by,where he was properly
cared for, and afterwards came on to
the mill. His injuries, however, were
more serious than lie at first supposed.
He was brought to his residence in
this village on Sunday, and for a day
or two his friends had fears of a fatal
termination of them, but we are glad
to learn on Wednesday evening that
he is improving.
jggT’We had a call last week from
G. J. Cars wj 11, the genial cheese manu
facturer of Lone Rock, Wis., who
placed upo l our table a sample of
most excellent cheese. Mr. Carswell
has been engaged in the cheese manu
facturing business for many years, and
has always kept up with the times,
availing himself of all that was good
among the new things that come out,
until lie has reached a high state of
perfection in liis art, as the saiftple in
question well attests. He has estab
lished an agency for the sale of his
cheese with Joseph Y. Rogers, our
enterprising groceryman and pro
vision dealer,where it can be obtained,
either at wholesale or retail, on the
same terms as at Mr. Carswell’s factory
at Lone Rock.
53£P°The Galena Gazette says:
“Three clerical-looking individuals,
claiming to be Catholic priests, are
just now imposing upon the credulity
of the Irish and German Catholics in
this vicinity, and in several instances
have succeeded in raising money and
foisting themsjlve3 upon different fami
lies in this neighborhood. These par
ties are known to be imposters, and
one of them was yesterday seen on our
streets in a beastly state of intoxica
tion. The members of St. Michael’s
and St. Mary’s churches have been
warned by their respective pastors
againt harboring them in any way, or
contributing money for their relief.
We hope proper means will be taken
to apprehend and punish these peram
bulating scoundrels.”
53§PThe Mineral Point Democrat in
its last issue observes that there is a
wide field for improvement before the
Chronicle, which it hopes this paper
will speedily possess. In the same col
umn with the above we find the an
nouncement that “the Reform State
Convention will be held at Milwaukee,
September 6tli,” whereas all other au
thorities agree that it is to be held
September Bth. A newspaper is con
siderably like an individual —when it
undertakes to pay too much attention
to the business of its neighbors, it is
very apt to neglect its own.
Fire at Avoca.
From the correspondence of the Min.
eral Point Democrat , we learn that a
fire broke out in the village of Avoca
at about 8 o’clock in the evening on
Saturday, June sth, burning the hotel
barn ot George Williams and the barns
of J. Rudersdorf and John McCor
mick. Mr. Williams’ loss is about
SBOO.OO, having one horse burned, and
other property such as sleighs,harness,
&c. Mr. McCormick’s loss is about
$200.00, also having one horse burned.
Mr. Rudorsdorf’s loss is about $125.00.
Mr. Williams’ barn was insured for
$200.00; no other insurance ’on the
property destroyed.
Alfred Jones is now canvassing
the town of Dodgeville for subscrib
ers to Tuttle’s History of Wisconsin,
a notice ot which appeared in this
paper a few weeks since. Mr. Jones
reports having met with great success
in canvassing for the History at Spring
Green, and we hope he may do as well
here, as it is a work every Wisconsin
family should have.
jgf A number of Dodgevillians par
ticipated iu an excursion to Freeport,
given by the Primitive Methodist Sun
day school of Mineral Point, on Wed
nesday. The excursion was a grand
success, —‘the eight coaches all being
crowded with people—and netted the
school about SI,OOO.
Plattevilie Camp Meeting

or huckstering stand will be allowed
within the limits prescribed by law.

g3f”Thc Primitive Methodists are
about to build anew Parsonage, at a
cost, including the site, of about
SI2OO. Rev. Dawson was circulating
around among the members of the
church and others of our citizens, the
first of the week, soliciting subscrip
tions in aid of the project, and we un
stand met with considerable success.
This Parsonage is much needed by the
church, and will be a creditable ad
dition to the village. We hope, there
fore, that our citizens generally will
“contribute their mite” toward its con
struction.

attention of the afflicted is
directed to the car<f of Dr. M. F. Turner,
who is now' permanently located at
Arena, having settled in that town in
March last. The Dr. has'had twenty-six
years’ experience in his profession, and
was lately pb ysician of Notre Dame Uni
versity, at South Bend Indiana f but
the most solid evidence of his ability
as a physician is found in his rapidly in
creasing practice at his present location,
especially in the treatment of chronic
diseases. For the accommodation of
patients afflicted with chronic diseases—
many of whom have been dissapointed
after coming miles to see him, at finding
him absent visiting other patients,—he
has decided to set apart Saturday of each
week f s a special cffice day, and will make
it a point to be in his office at the Wiscon
sin House, Arena, on all Saturdays ex
cept in critical or special cases.
Comet.
The well known trotting stallion COMET, will
stand the following season, commencing April Ist,
and ending July 10th, 1875, at the owi.er’s stable,
in Dodgeville, Wisconsin.
PEDIGREE.
COMET was sired by “Herrick,” he by David
Hill’s original “Black Hawk,” dam of “Herrick,”
by “I/ambletonian.” COMET’S dam was sired by
old “Comet Morgan,” from whom descended the
Northwestern Vermont race‘of Morgan Trotters.
Dam, Imported thoroughbred.
COMET was purchased in Vermont in 1864, at
four years of age, nnd brought west by liis present
owner, since wliic k time he lias been kept in lowa
county.
11 is colts all show more than ordinary trotting
ability. No extended comments are necessary, as
COMET and his stock are so well known in Ibis
community.
Farmers and 3tocb i aisers would do well to con
sider before they patronize a horse, that the differ
ence in outlay between COMET and ordinary horses
is very small ; that it costs no more to raise agood
colt than to raise a poor one ; that COMET’S colts
at maturity meet with ready sale and are quickly
bought upjjat a price more than double those paid
for common colts from the same class of dams
It is well known in this community that his colts
are in so great demand that there are not enough
ior sale in the county to supply it. Inquiries are
constantly made from abroad, by letter and other
wise, and GENERALLY by PROFESSIONAL HORSE
MEN, for COMET’S colts, and there are scarcely
any left for sale in this vicinity old enough for
market.
This demand is created by reason of their su
perior merits in speed and durability, and as
roadsters and for geuerial purposes, and it will Jbe
seen by reference to his pedigree that these qual -
ties are not'the result of nccident,but of combination
in COMET of the best blood to be found in the trot
ting horses of America, viz : i/ambletonian,
Black Hawk, Morgan and Thoroughbred. ‘-Like
begets like .”
Asa matter of speculation, it pays to invest in
stock that finds a ready market. Demand makes a
READT MARKET, QUICK SALES AND fiOOD PRICES.
TERMS :--$15.00 for the season, from which
there will be no deviation. An approved note to bo
given at the time of service, payable October first.,
1875. No other contract made with groom will be
recogni zed.
COMET will be attended by a thorough and
competent horseman. All accidents and escapes at
owner’s risk. H. C, CUTLER.
