-Mrs. J. E. Irish will deliver a lecture this (Wednesday) evening, at the Methodist church. Subject, Mohammed, the prophet of Islam. Admission, fifteen cents.

-Clinton Babbitt, Secretary of the Agricultural Society, has issued nearly 7,000 copies of the transactions of the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society for the year 1881-1882. This volume embraces 499 pages of matter. It is the twentieth annual report that the society has printed.
-Chas. B. Walworth and wife, of Eau Claire, have been spending a week under the parental roof in this village. It seems natural to have Charley among us once more if but for a short period. We are glad to learn that he has a prosperous business in so spirited a city as Eau Claire.
-There will be preaching morning and evening in the Presbyterian church next Sunday by the Rev. John Winn, of Madison. The Lord’s supper will be administered after the morning sermon. Preparatory lecture at 3 o’clock P.M. of Saturday. All are invited.
-While a number of our people are seeking homes in the country in the west, Richland county is receiving accessions to its population from the east. Two families from Ohio arrived last week and have settled in the town of Marshall, and we have heard of others coming into other parts of the county.
-Public attention is directed to the professional card of Dr. E. W. Beebe, of Milwaukee, which appears in another column of this paper to-day. Dr Beebe is not a stranger to the people of Richland county. He makes a speciality of the eye and ear and has won an enviable reputation as one of the most successful operators in the land.
-The boiler of the Chair Company’s works, at Hudson, in this State, exploded last Thursday with great violence, scattering the flues and casings in every direction. The engine was also badly wrecked, scarcely one brick being left standing on another, while the spokes of the large fly-wheel were snapped like pipe stems. Engineer William Parker was so badly injured that he died in great agony.
-A. H. Krouskop returned Tuesday night from a business trip to the east. During his absence he purchased a complete new steam sawmill, fifty horse power engine, at Mount Vernon, Ohio, which he expects to have here in about thirty days. Between now and then he will have a place prepared for it on the banks of Pine river near his lumber yards so that the mill can be started up within a very short time after its arrival.
-We have never been acquainted with a practitioner who makes a speciality of throat and lung disease and kindred complaints, who has been as uniformly successful as Dr. F. B. Brewer. In every case that has come before him, he has had the honesty to advise the patient to give up if there was no help, and where the Doctor believes that a proper course of treatment would save life or prolong it, he has taken hold of the case with perseverance and skill, and we venture to say that not one case in a hundred fails to benefit, when treated by Dr. Brewer. Were we troubled with chronic difficulties, we should not hesitate to place ourselves in the hands of Dr. Brewer in preference to any specialist we know.
 It will be seen that Dr. Brewer makes his next visit at the Park Hotel in this city on Thursday the 26th of April.
The Cadetships
 The LaCrosse Daily Chronicle says that next Friday, April 20, is the date fixed by Mr. Woodward for the examination for nomination to the vacant cadetships at West Point and Annapolis. He has appointed the following examining board: Richard Smith, Esq., New Lisbon; Professor W. A. Willis, Baraboo; Professor J. H. Cummings, Sparta. Dr. Hoegh, of LaCrosse, will make the necessary medical examinations. Mr. Woodward has received letters from sixteen young men who contemplate contesting for the nomination.
