Contributed by our Regular Correspondents Local Brevities Our village school began the Fall Term last Monday, with Mr. E. E. DARROW in charge of the higher, and Mr. John CROSBY in charge of the primary department. Mr. N. E. ALLEN's auction of blooded stock, advertised elsewhere in the Press, will take place on his farm in Springville, on the 21st instant-one week from next Thursday. Liberty Bluff is getting to be quite a lively point on the Wisconsin Central Railroad. Last Monday more than a dozen teams were there to load and unload at one time. The County Board of Supervisors will meet in annual session next Tuesday. Those having claims against the county should see that they are properly made out and filed before that day. Dr. WEBSTER had a stroke of bad luck with his bees last week. The snow storm closed the entrances to the hives so smothered the bees badly. We hope the Doctor will not be discouraged. The election in this town last Tuesday was vigorously fought by the several independent candidates. Never have we seen candidates exert themselves more. Hardly a voter reached the polls without personal solicitation. We learn that the bridge across the Wisconsin river at the Pete-en-Well is rapidly approaching completion, and will soon be ready for the use of the public. It will prove a great convenience to people on this side of the river having business at Necedah or farther west. The wife of Mrs. Lars OLSON, of Strongs Prairie, was buried on Wednesday last. She is a sister-in-law to Mr. HOLM, our County Clerk. Mrs. OLSON has been an invalid for the last four or five years and her demise had been almost hourly expected for a year past. She was a very estimable lady, and leaves a husband and several children and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Big Spring Items Elder CAMPBELL's family and friends are preparing a box of goods to send to their daughter, Mrs. BLAKELEY, missionary in China. The Big Spring cheese factory has just closed. Having been a success it was run the last week by the patrons for their own use, with about 500 lbs of milk per day. J. R. Married LYON-LERCH.-At the residence of the officiating Justice.
