Mineral Point—namely, lack of direct railroad communication with Mil waukee and other cities of the state— would be removed by the completion of the Monroe extension of the €., M. &S.

DOWN TO DEATH. John Van Allen Loses His Grip on a Well Rope and Falls to the Bottom Richland Republican. A well-digger named John Van Al len lost his life on Tuesday afternoon while cleaning a well on the farm of John Emschoff in the town of Orion. He had been down in the well and was being drawn up, when he lost his grip on the rope and fell to the bottom, a distance of some eighteen feet. When taken out he was quite dead. It is supposed he was- overcome by fire damps. He leaves a wife and large family of children in very destitute circumstan ces. The family as vill be remember ed, formerly lived in this village for about a year, but for the past few months they have been Jiving on Wil low creek. The Prairie du Chien Courier thus notes anew enterprise recently started in that city: “Another new enterprise has just been started in our city, and one that bids fair to be of great importance to scientific disposed persons, and thus it fills a want long felt in our city, where you can have anything analyzed with out sending to Milwaukee or Chicago. H. Seward, Ph. G., analytical chemist, and A. F. Samuels, M. D. B. S. Micro scopist, have made arrangements to occupy a room at the Remedial Insti tute in this city, and will tit up a nice laboratory. They have already received a supply of chemical apparatus, and are prepared at the present time to take orders and do analyzing on short notice. These gentlemen ‘ are botli scholars and graduates, and the latter has had many years experience as M. D. and chemist. With such talent and ability as possessed by the aforesaid parties the public can vest assured that satisfaction will be rendered in all. cases. All manner of abnormal pro ducts, etc., are tested with accuracy and great care;mineral products assay ed: and everything pertaining to chem- i ical and microscopic research are 1 promptly attended to.” Off For lowa. Mr. Jas. V. Dabb, our widely cele brated and skillful photographic artist, who has for several years occupied the rooms over J. B. & C. It. Moffett’s drug store, in this city, and whose work, both in photographing and portrait painting, has been so well and favorably know n throughout lowa county, left on Tues day to try his fortune in the compara tively new and rapidly growing state of lowa. Mr. Dabb has made arrange ments to take charge of aline gallery in the lively town of Lemurs; and we bid him good bye with regret. In his removal Mineral Point loses one of her best, steadiest and most enterpris ing young men, and our citizens a warm-hearted and jovial fellow-towns man. We bespeak for Mr. Dabb a wide circle of friends in Lemars, and we are well assured that his skill in his art will there meet with the success it de serves. He leaves Mineral Point with the best wishes of a host of warm friends and acquaintances, and we heartily commend him to the citizens of Lemars as an h nest, upright, industrious and energetic young man, courteous and polite to all; and in point of skill in his chosen art excelled by none. Mr. Will Shepard is to occupy Ids rooms and conduct the business here after. Fortunate Mineral Point. The most careful observer is aware ! of the fact that the cash plan business | is the safest and far more productive of justice and good results generally to ! the producer and consumer, and also that it acts as a great moral avent in I the prevention of dishonesty and all manner of fraud and chicanery. The truth of this must be admitted oven by those who conduct their business on , the limited credit system. Mineral Point has always been widely and fav i orably known as one of the best places in southwestern Wisconsin to get hon est goods at fair prices. Where can you get better dry goods and clothing, or groceries, or any of the various lines of goods sold by our various mercantile firms, than in Mineral Point?
