Contributed by our Regular Correspondents Local Brevities Al. HILL came very near losing a fine bay mare last Tuesday. She's all right now. A. J. HILL has the frame up, and nearly enclosed, of his new blacksmith shop, and the workmen are making lively noises on it now. County Treasurer HAMILTON has been busy this week paying his respects to that interesting biped, the non-taxpayer. Ye editor was called last Monday over to the town of Lincoln, to attend before Esq. S. S. PHELPS to the examination of Frank WESCOTT charged with stealing a horse last August from Mr. McFARLIN. The evidence tended to show that the horse was stolen in Marquette county, and WESCOTT was turned over to the officers of that jurisdiction. On Friday evening of last week Doc. FAIRBANKS snatched us away to Grand Rapids on legal business. While at that place we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. McCLATCHIE, formerly of Springville, Mr. O. LAWRENCE and H. H. LORD, Esq., formerly of Friendship, Mr. DAVIS, formerly of Preston, and other old time residents of Adams. The Friendship Mills are being put in good order for business. Messrs. MAXSON and CONVIS appear to be the kind of men that it will do to tie to, and the new firm with Judge HARRISON at the head, we predict will soon become popular with the patrons of the mill. Andrew FISH Dead. From the Montello Express we learn of the death last week, of Andrew FISH, of Oxford. Andrew was one of the members of Company K, 38th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers, and at the assault on Fort Mahone, near Petersburg, Virginia, on the 2d of April, 1865, received a very severe and dangerous gunshot wound through the neck. His old comrades will learn of his death with sorrowful hearts.
