In assuming the management of this |vi[tcr, we have preferred to change the Dame, and have ventured oa ao enlargement. The first is not a matter of moment to any one, Tho other, involving in- creased expenses may seriously affect ourselves. We believe that the addi- tional space will be necessary to meet the wants of the community, and have undertaken it, feeling satisfied that if the paper is worth supporting, oar cit- izens will not be slow in doing their part. The GAZKTTB will be conducted with a view to promoting all the inter* c«ts of this section of the State—es- pecially of Redwood county. In I his we have a free field for eonseientious wark. The county is not surpassed in the State, in quality of soil and all the requisites for making it a prosperous and wealthy community. We have an abiding faith, too, in its speedy de- velopment. To secure this we pro- pose to direct our efforts. The GAZETTE commenccs its ca - rcer free from all fetters; without any old scorcs to balance or entanglements ot any kind—political or personal—we arc in position to deal, "without fear or favor," with all subjects that come within the domain of Journalism. Newspapers Flease Copy. The Albert Lea Enterprise hits the Congressional grabbers with tho fol- lowing conundrum, which should be sounded by every paper in the land: "We wonder il the sneaks who voted a postage upon exchanges and news- papers within tho county, and then stole $.">,000 for back pay will need the help of these same editors whom they arc trying to crush ? And wc wonder if they are going to get il ? We hope the editorial fraternity throughout the State will remember this little trick, and place those who thus wronged them in a position where back pay, or future pay (Oongressionally speaking) will not trouble them." Pass it along. The Supreme Court dccidcs that Confederate,wa r bonds issued by any State in aid of insurrection could not be treated in the same way as Confed- erate money, which the court has be- fore decided did not vitiate a contract, provided the contract was a lawiul one. jany causes of disqualification arc found The Southern Confederacy held exclu-1 to exist in him to such a degree as feive jurisdiction over the territory j may now or hereafter impair his effic- where the contract was made, and the j iency, he is rejected. The newly ap- Regulations Governing Candidates for Admission to the Military and Naval Academies. Hon. H. B, Strait, having the ap- pointment for the 3nd Congressional District, of a candidate for West Point Aoadeay, and Naval Academy, has decidcd to abide by the result of a competitive examination to be made by an Examining Board consisting of Gen. L. F. Hubbard, Red Wing; Capt J. H. Brown, Willmar; Prof. C. W. G. Hyde, Shakopee; who will oonvene at Shakopee on Wednesday, the 14th day of May next, at 10 •. M. Candidates are admitted into the Military Academy only between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two yean; but those who have served at least one year in the Regular or Vol* untcer Army daring the late war, and have been honorably discharged, are by special.'provision of law eligible up to the age of twenty four years. Can- didates for appointment to tho Nava Academy must be between the ages of fourteen and eighteen years. No can- didate less than five feet in height can be admtted. Candidates must be of good moral character, satisfactory tes. timonials of which, from persons of good repute Jin the neighborhood of their respective residences mast be presented. Candidates are required to be proficient in reading and writing; in the elements of English Grammar, and in the History of the United States. The various operations of Arithmetic must be thororghly un- derstood and readily performed. DlSQAUflCATIONS.

Ever/ person appointed, upon ar- riving at the Academy, is submitted to a rigid medical examination, and if Confederate money* was the usual me- dium of exchange. The plaintiff in the case in which this opinion was given by Justice Field sued to recov- er on a note given at Memphis in Deeemder 1862. The admitted con- sideration of the note was a lot of war bonds issued by the state of arkansas to aid the rebellion, then worth about 75 per cent, of their par value, and used at that time in Memphis to some extent as a circulating medium. The Court held that the issue of the bonds being unconstitutional, the considera- tion of the note was void. An April Storm in the Socth West* LINCOLN, NEB., April 21.—Re- ports just in of the storm, west of here last Sunday to Thursday say it was one of the most severe ever known. There has been great loss of life and property. Many persons were froien to death in their houses. Men perish- ed near Giaftoa Havard and Hastings, on the B. &> M. railway, while trying to feed their stock. The wind un- roofed and blew down houses, and hundreds of cattle and horses smother- ed by the snow filling up the barns. The railway cuts are filled with ice- like snow, whieh it is impossible to re- move by the enow-plows. The first train for the week arrived here over the B. & M. to day. Houses were rendered uninhabitable in several eas- es, and families perished while tiding to reach their neighbor!. A Cincinnati court hnMhtthat intemperance vitiates a life iasuranoe policy, on the ground that the appli- cant promises on, his part not to prac- tice any habit whieh will tend to shorten his life. The decision is a sound one, and it will oertainly help us to endure the infliction of life in- surance solicitors if we are permitted to look upon them as people who are engaged in the good work of circula- ting the pledge. . The Secretary of War has officially promulgated a law of great impor- tance to soldiers, approved on the last day |of the late session. It provides that the Secretary of War may issue duplicate discharge papers in all cases of loss, but- sueh duplicate may not be accepted as a voucher for payment of any claim against the United States or as evidence in any other ease. What kind of people, and what kind of newspaper have they in Santa Bar- bara, Calififomia f The former has presented the latter wit|i a free gift of $1,925 in gold as a token of their appreciation of itarmerritt. pointed cadets are examined at the Academy, prior to admission, and those not properly qualified are reject- ed. A sound body and constitution, a fixed degree of preparation, a good natural capacity, an aptitude for study, industrious habits, perseverance, an obedient and orderly disposition, and a correct moral deportment are such essential quali ications that candidates knowingly deficient in any of these respects should not, as many do, sub- ject themselves to the expense, and their friends to the chances of iuture mortification and disappointment, by applying for an appointment which they cannot successfully pursue- Eaterprlse In Bnsl We like enterprise, and ile know of no class of busencss men displaying more of it than the newspaper publish- ers of America. The publishers of Our Fireside Friend, Chicago, an- nounce this week in our columds, their Second Annual Distribution of premiums to subscribers. This excel- lent story and family weekly Is now in its third volume. Its success has been great, and it is firmly established as ono of the leading weeklies of the Un- ion, with the largest circulation of any paper in the West, Its success may in no slight degToe ba attributed to its method of distributing premiums, which is permanent with this gaper, being held anoally. Its distribution last year gave general satisfaction. Their list of premiums is fine, and se- cures to every subscriber for 1373 a premium, either in oash or some one of the valuable articles mentioned in the list We cheerfully recommend the paper. Their plan of distributing premiums is a notable part of their well conducted enterprise, and our readers need have no doubts as to their being fairly dealt with. The paper is a financial success.^ Its immense cir- culation enables its publishers to offer this valuable list of premiums and to lully carry out their plan of distribut- ing them. At Cleveland, on the 22ud, n writ of habeas oorpns was granted by the Probate Court to Martha and Mary Kellep, aged 16 and 18 years, taken from the Catholic Orphan Asylum on Harmon street* and given into the ens- tody of their mother, who testified that her daughters were plaoed in the Asylum ten years ago by force and vi- olence, their father, sinee dead, being a Catholic and she a Protestant. She had gone to the asylum for her chil- dren, bat, being reftasd, applied to *fce count fere ssistane*. 4 z . « «- -- -Blip:- '• - : , Lyon; Co naif News. LYND, APRIL 23, 1873. Editor Gazette: The severity and backwardness of the spring has been unprecedented; but we have just had a whole week of delightful weather, which makes us al- most forget the surly north-west rain storms that visited this locality a short time since. Today is all golden with sunshine, and we rejoice to think that summer and birds, and butterflies and flowers are still alive, and are return- ing to us again. Nature is spreading her carpet of green over the prairies, while in the wet lowlands may be seen multifarious colors of succulent shoots, which, under the fiery breath of the season, seem to grow an inch at a time, and spring np as if by magio. The river at this point is higher than at any time sinee the spring of '69; and goes crashing and roaring down to join the great Father of Wa- ters; The bridge, for the construction of which 9500.was appropriated by thr Legislature, is now being built aeross the Redwood river at this place. The work is progressing under the immedi- ate supervision of a master workman, and when completed will be an orna- ment to the town. Emigrants are pouring into this county in unbroken daily streams. Land lookers are ramb- ling in every direction, and a scramble and a grab fot claims is the result. The saw-mill, under the management of Cummins & Rouse, is doing good business. Logs in the mill yard are estimated to measure 200,000 feet On the 15th inst. the iron horse on the Winona & St Peter B. R., came puffing and snorting through to Mar- shall, for the first timesince last fall. H. R. MARCYES. Those who admire the writings of Mr. Geo. D. Prentice will be pleased to read the following extract again: "It cannot be that earth is man's only abiding place. It cannot be that our life is a bubble cast up by the ocean of eternity to float a moment upon its waves and eink into nothingness. Else why is it kthat the high and glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts, are forever unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow and clouds come over us with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off to leave us to muse on their loveliness? Why is it that the stars which 'hold their festi- val around the midnight thrones,' are set above the grasp of our limited fac- ulties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory ? And finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and taken from ns, leaving the thou- sand streams of our affection to flow back like Alpine torrents upon the heart ? We are born to a higher des- tiny than of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will spread out before us like the islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings whieh pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever." Scribner's Monthly for May con- tains an article destined to attract a deal of attention, entitled The Insani- ty of Cain. There are several illus- trated articles—Four Great African Travelers, by Stanley; Cuba and the Cubans, by \Y.m S. Starks. Susan Coolidge gives a timely paper on The California Journey.

Che papers are almost constantly recur- ring to this fact, and quite as constant- ly telling new stories. Yesterday a party of lour left this city for Winona, where a pair of them were to be mar- ried, and this happy couple have their little ^omanoe. They were school- mates, then betrothed lovers, and were Anally estranged.

Jesse A. Wilson has been taken to Brainerd to be tried far the murder of Patrick Kgan. He has Hon. C. K. Davis and Col. Flint for counsel. At- torney General Cornell will conduct the prosecution. Wifhon seems confi- dent of acquittal. The Rochester Post says that Frank A. Burbank, aged thirteen years, of Haverhill, went out hunting gophers with a son of R. W. Palmer, when the trigger of his gun caught in the brush, and young Bnrbank, who was in front- of the gun, received the lond in his head. He lived only three hours The half-breed who lately murdered the two half breed girls and so terribly wounded a little squaw at White Earth, is but 17 or 18 years old. He was armed with a musket and navy re- volver, when arrested, but made no resistance. Among the whites he was known as Moulton. He remains iron- ed at Fort Ripley. A fire at LeSuer on Monday des- tsoyed six buildings and part of their contents. The total loss was $6,000 On Tuesday night a large frame build- ing situated in the [portion of the town and formerly known as the Peck House, was destroyed by lire. Loss not stated. It was carelessness this time, and happened at Belle River, |in Douglas county. A man in the employ of J. 3. Griffin had borrowed a gun of John Henry. The latter went after it, and after receiving it, sat down and laid the muzzle on the stove, pointed di- rectly at Griffin. Of course he had to go to fooling with the lock, supposing the gua to be empty, when suddenly the hammer slipped, and a load of bird shot went into Griffin's left leg. This was on the 12th and on the 14th Griffin died.

The Hoosac tunnel is nearly com- pleted, and, according to the Boston- ian style of reasoning from cause to effect, the fate of the little village on the East River, yclept New York, is sealed. Boston will be one hundred miles nearer Chicago, by the lines of railroad whioh will reach that city from the west by the Hoosac. The lunatics seem lately to have turned their attention especially to Windsor. A live Yankee, after hav- ing written a letter to announce that he would arri ve on a stated day, to assert ccrtain claims, actually put in an appearanoe, and declared that the Queen was his mother Being inform- ed that his visit would probably end in a tarry in a lunatic asylnm, he made up his mind to leave for New York. Jedediah Burchard once preached a revival sermon, during whioh he was interrupted by the entrance of Aaron Burr. "Here comes one," says the re- viyalist, "against whom even I will testify in the day of judgment" "Yes sir," said Burr, "in fifty years of crim- inal practice, I have always found the greatest rascals turn State's evidence." Our English cousins, after easing their wounded dignity with some in- nocuous bluster, are acoepting the "Alabama" indemnity deoision with tolerable grace, especially as they are congratulating themselves on the ease with which they can pay it, owing to the enormous inorease in the Excise revenue. As they put it, M We have drunk ourselves out of the Alabama difficulty." No Governor since war days ha done so popular an act as that of Gov- ernor Dix, who refused to pardon Fos- ter. Every creditable newspaper in the oountry has applauded it, and the popular voioe, through every channel, has spoken in his praise. His famous order, "If any man hauls down that flag, shoot him on the spot," will hard- ly outrank this act of official firmness. The law abiding citizens have breath- ed more freely, while crime has stag- gered under the blow. It is to be hop ed that other Governors, and the President, my be eueouraged bj his steadfastness to do likewise ; for just as surely aa God's law is neglected, will men and society United The experienoe of tho past winter hat proved the utility of white willow* as susceesful windbreak*.

THE GAZETTE, HERRIOTT £ BEAL, A'abllskere.

THURSDAY MAY 1, 18/3.

SALUTATORY. In assuming the management of this

|vi[tcr, we have preferred to change the Dame, and have ventured oa ao enlargement.

The first is not a matter of moment to any one, Tho other, involving in­creased expenses may seriously affect ourselves. We believe that the addi­tional space will be necessary to meet the wants of the community, and have undertaken it, feeling satisfied that if the paper is worth supporting, oar cit­izens will not be slow in doing their part.

The GAZKTTB will be conducted with a view to promoting all the inter* c«ts of this section of the State—es­pecially of Redwood county. In I his we have a free field for eonseientious wark. The county is not surpassed in the State, in quality of soil and all the requisites for making it a prosperous and wealthy community. We have an abiding faith, too, in its speedy de­velopment. To secure this we pro­pose to direct our efforts.

The GAZETTE commenccs its ca -rcer free from all fetters; without any old scorcs to balance or entanglements ot any kind—political or personal—we arc in position to deal, "without fear or favor," with all subjects that come within the domain of Journalism.

Newspapers Flease Copy. The Albert Lea Enterprise hits the

Congressional grabbers with tho fol­lowing conundrum, which should be sounded by every paper in the land: "We wonder il the sneaks who voted a postage upon exchanges and news­papers within tho county, and then stole $.">,000 for back pay will need the help of these same editors whom they arc trying to crush ? And wc wonder if they are going to get il ? We hope the editorial fraternity throughout the State will remember this little trick, and place those who thus wronged them in a position where back pay, or future pay (Oongressionally speaking) will not trouble them." Pass it along.

The Supreme Court dccidcs that Confederate,wa r bonds issued by any State in aid of insurrection could not be treated in the same way as Confed­erate money, which the court has be­fore decided did not vitiate a contract, provided the contract was a lawiul one. jany causes of disqualification arc found The Southern Confederacy held exclu-1 to exist in him to such a degree as feive jurisdiction over the territory j may now or hereafter impair his effic-where the contract was made, and the j iency, he is rejected. The newly ap-

Regulations Governing Candidates for Admission to the Military and Naval Academies. Hon. H. B, Strait, having the ap­

pointment for the 3nd Congressional District, of a candidate for West Point Aoadeay, and Naval Academy, has decidcd to abide by the result of a competitive examination to be made by an Examining Board consisting of Gen. L. F. Hubbard, Red Wing; Capt J. H. Brown, Willmar; Prof. C. W. G. Hyde, Shakopee; who will oonvene at Shakopee on Wednesday, the 14th day of May next, at 10 •. M.

Candidates are admitted into the Military Academy only between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two yean; but those who have served at least one year in the Regular or Vol* untcer Army daring the late war, and have been honorably discharged, are by special.'provision of law eligible up to the age of twenty four years. Can­didates for appointment to tho Nava Academy must be between the ages of fourteen and eighteen years. No can­didate less than five feet in height can be admtted. Candidates must be of good moral character, satisfactory tes. timonials of which, from persons of good repute Jin the neighborhood of their respective residences mast be presented. Candidates are required to be proficient in reading and writing; in the elements of English Grammar, and in the History of the United States. The various operations of Arithmetic must be thororghly un­derstood and readily performed.

DlSQAUflCATIONS.

Feeble constitution; unsoand health from whatever cause; indication of former disease; glandular swellings; scrofula. Chronic cutaneous affeo-tions. Severe injuiioi of the bones of the head. Impaired vision, from whatever eaose; inflamatory affections of the eyo-lids. ' Deafness. Loss of teeth, or teeth generally unsound. Impediment of speech. Want of due capacity of chest, and any other indi­cation of liability to (pulmonic disease. Impaired or inadequate efficiency of one or both of the inferior or superior extremities, on account of fractures, varicose veins, lameness, contraction, unequal length, bunions, over-lying or supernumerary toes. An unusual ex-curvature or incurvature of the spine. Hernia. Varicose veins, hydrocele, hemorrhoids, fistulas. Ulcers.

Ever/ person appointed, upon ar­riving at the Academy, is submitted to a rigid medical examination, and if

Confederate money* was the usual me­dium of exchange. The plaintiff in the case in which this opinion was given by Justice Field sued to recov­er on a note given at Memphis in Deeemder 1862. The admitted con­sideration of the note was a lot of war bonds issued by the state of arkansas to aid the rebellion, then worth about 75 per cent, of their par value, and used at that time in Memphis to some extent as a circulating medium. The Court held that the issue of the bonds being unconstitutional, the considera­tion of the note was void.

An April Storm in the Socth West* LINCOLN, NEB., April 21.—Re­

ports just in of the storm, west of here last Sunday to Thursday say it was one of the most severe ever known. There has been great loss of life and property. Many persons were froien to death in their houses. Men perish­ed near Giaftoa Havard and Hastings, on the B. &> M. railway, while trying to feed their stock. The wind un­roofed and blew down houses, and hundreds of cattle and horses smother­ed by the snow filling up the barns. The railway cuts are filled with ice-like snow, whieh it is impossible to re­move by the enow-plows. The first train for the week arrived here over the B. & M. to day. Houses were rendered uninhabitable in several eas­es, and families perished while tiding to reach their neighbor!.

A Cincinnati court hnMhtthat intemperance vitiates a life iasuranoe policy, on the ground that the appli­cant promises on, his part not to prac­tice any habit whieh will tend to shorten his life. The decision is a sound one, and it will oertainly help us to endure the infliction of life in­surance solicitors if we are permitted to look upon them as people who are engaged in the good work of circula­ting the pledge.

. The Secretary of War has officially promulgated a law of great impor­tance to soldiers, approved on the last day |of the late session. It provides that the Secretary of War may issue duplicate discharge papers in all cases of loss, but- sueh duplicate may not be accepted as a voucher for payment of any claim against the United States or as evidence in any other ease.

What kind of people, and what kind of newspaper have they in Santa Bar­bara, Calififomia f The former has presented the latter wit|i a free gift of $1,925 in gold as a token of their appreciation of itarmerritt.

pointed cadets are examined at the Academy, prior to admission, and those not properly qualified are reject-ed.

A sound body and constitution, a fixed degree of preparation, a good natural capacity, an aptitude for study, industrious habits, perseverance, an obedient and orderly disposition, and a correct moral deportment are such essential quali ications that candidates knowingly deficient in any of these respects should not, as many do, sub­ject themselves to the expense, and their friends to the chances of iuture mortification and disappointment, by applying for an appointment which they cannot successfully pursue-

Eaterprlse In Bnsl We like enterprise, and ile know of

no class of busencss men displaying more of it than the newspaper publish­ers of America. The publishers of Our Fireside Friend, Chicago, an­nounce this week in our columds, their Second Annual Distribution of premiums to subscribers. This excel­lent story and family weekly Is now in its third volume. Its success has been great, and it is firmly established as ono of the leading weeklies of the Un­ion, with the largest circulation of any paper in the West, Its success may in no slight degToe ba attributed to its method of distributing premiums, which is permanent with this gaper, being held anoally. Its distribution last year gave general satisfaction. Their list of premiums is fine, and se­cures to every subscriber for 1373 a premium, either in oash or some one of the valuable articles mentioned in the list We cheerfully recommend the paper. Their plan of distributing premiums is a notable part of their well conducted enterprise, and our readers need have no doubts as to their being fairly dealt with. The paper is a financial success.^ Its immense cir­culation enables its publishers to offer this valuable list of premiums and to lully carry out their plan of distribut­ing them.

At Cleveland, on the 22ud, n writ of habeas oorpns was granted by the Probate Court to Martha and Mary Kellep, aged 16 and 18 years, taken from the Catholic Orphan Asylum on Harmon street* and given into the ens-tody of their mother, who testified that her daughters were plaoed in the Asylum ten years ago by force and vi­olence, their father, sinee dead, being a Catholic and she a Protestant.

LYND, APRIL 23, 1873. Editor Gazette:

The severity and backwardness of the spring has been unprecedented; but we have just had a whole week of delightful weather, which makes us al­most forget the surly north-west rain storms that visited this locality a short time since. Today is all golden with sunshine, and we rejoice to think that summer and birds, and butterflies and flowers are still alive, and are return­ing to us again. Nature is spreading her carpet of green over the prairies, while in the wet lowlands may be seen multifarious colors of succulent shoots, which, under the fiery breath of the season, seem to grow an inch at a time, and spring np as if by magio.

The river at this point is higher than at any time sinee the spring of '69; and goes crashing and roaring down to join the great Father of Wa­ters; The bridge, for the construction of which 9500.was appropriated by thr Legislature, is now being built aeross the Redwood river at this place. The work is progressing under the immedi­ate supervision of a master workman, and when completed will be an orna­ment to the town. Emigrants are pouring into this county in unbroken daily streams. Land lookers are ramb­ling in every direction, and a scramble and a grab fot claims is the result. The saw-mill, under the management of Cummins & Rouse, is doing good business. Logs in the mill yard are estimated to measure 200,000 feet

On the 15th inst. the iron horse on the Winona & St Peter B. R., came puffing and snorting through to Mar­shall, for the first timesince last fall.

Those who admire the writings of Mr. Geo. D. Prentice will be pleased to read the following extract again: "It cannot be that earth is man's only abiding place. It cannot be that our life is a bubble cast up by the ocean of eternity to float a moment upon its waves and eink into nothingness. Else why is it kthat the high and glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts, are forever unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow and clouds come over us with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off to leave us to muse on their loveliness? Why is it that the stars which 'hold their festi­val around the midnight thrones,' are set above the grasp of our limited fac­ulties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory ? And finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and taken from ns, leaving the thou­sand streams of our affection to flow back like Alpine torrents upon the heart ? We are born to a higher des­tiny than of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will spread out before us like the islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings whieh pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever."

Scribner's Monthly for May con­tains an article destined to attract a deal of attention, entitled The Insani­ty of Cain. There are several illus­trated articles—Four Great African Travelers, by Stanley; Cuba and the Cubans, by \Y.m S. Starks. Susan Coolidge gives a timely paper on The California Journey. Dr. Holland's novel, Arthur Bonnicastle, is contin­ued, with increased interest There are several stories and poems by lead­ing writers. In Topics of the Time the editor's themes are numerous and carefully discussed. The Old Cabinet and Home and Society we find very interesting. The Magazine is really a library every month. Prioe only 94 a year. 8eribner & Co., publishers, 654 Broadway, New York.

Another One. This is a city of romanow. Che

papers are almost constantly recur­ring to this fact, and quite as constant­ly telling new stories. Yesterday a party of lour left this city for Winona, where a pair of them were to be mar­ried, and this happy couple have their little ^omanoe. They were school­mates, then betrothed lovers, and were Anally estranged. Bach married oth­er parties, had children, lost track of each other for twenty yearn, met wid­ow and widower, and are ere this man and wife. So wags the worl(L-r-jS*. Pud Press 24 th.

Proposals for the Capitol extension are advertised for. The plans drawn by a St Paul architect give the fol­lowing dimensions : It will be fifty-one feet two inches by fifty feet in di­mensions, exclusive of the portioo, and two stories in height, so as |to oonform to the general proportion of tho main building. There will be three entran­ces, and the lower fl or is to be divided into four office rooms. There will be two stairways to the upper floor, whioh is to be divided into rooms for the Supreme Court and its offioers.

Jesse A. Wilson has been taken to Brainerd to be tried far the murder of Patrick Kgan. He has Hon. C. K. Davis and Col. Flint for counsel. At­torney General Cornell will conduct the prosecution. Wifhon seems confi­dent of acquittal.

The Rochester Post says that Frank A. Burbank, aged thirteen years, of Haverhill, went out hunting gophers with a son of R. W. Palmer, when the trigger of his gun caught in the brush, and young Bnrbank, who was in front-of the gun, received the lond in his head. He lived only three hours

The half-breed who lately murdered the two half breed girls and so terribly wounded a little squaw at White Earth, is but 17 or 18 years old. He was armed with a musket and navy re­volver, when arrested, but made no resistance. Among the whites he was known as Moulton. He remains iron­ed at Fort Ripley.

A fire at LeSuer on Monday des-tsoyed six buildings and part of their contents. The total loss was $6,000 On Tuesday night a large frame build­ing situated in the [portion of the town and formerly known as the Peck House, was destroyed by lire. Loss not stated.

It was carelessness this time, and happened at Belle River, |in Douglas county. A man in the employ of J. 3. Griffin had borrowed a gun of John Henry. The latter went after it, and after receiving it, sat down and laid the muzzle on the stove, pointed di­rectly at Griffin. Of course he had to go to fooling with the lock, supposing the gua to be empty, when suddenly the hammer slipped, and a load of bird shot went into Griffin's left leg. This was on the 12th and on the 14th Griffin died. Here is a man's life sac­rificed by the most astounding care­lessness-criminal to the utmost extent

The meddlesome man in the East Division, who, while watching and di­recting the operations of his wife while she was baking pies, stepped with his bare feet on a hot stove lid, and imme-ly stepped out into a puddle to cool his parched role, is now going around the eity, wearing a pur of moccasins made specially to order.—Minneapolis Tribune.

The Hoosac tunnel is nearly com­pleted, and, according to the Boston-ian style of reasoning from cause to effect, the fate of the little village on the East River, yclept New York, is sealed. Boston will be one hundred miles nearer Chicago, by the lines of railroad whioh will reach that city from the west by the Hoosac.

The lunatics seem lately to have turned their attention especially to Windsor. A live Yankee, after hav­ing written a letter to announce that he would arri ve on a stated day, to assert ccrtain claims, actually put in an appearanoe, and declared that the Queen was his mother Being inform­ed that his visit would probably end in a tarry in a lunatic asylnm, he made up his mind to leave for New York.

Jedediah Burchard once preached a revival sermon, during whioh he was interrupted by the entrance of Aaron Burr. "Here comes one," says the re-viyalist, "against whom even I will testify in the day of judgment" "Yes sir," said Burr, "in fifty years of crim­inal practice, I have always found the greatest rascals turn State's evidence."

Our English cousins, after easing their wounded dignity with some in­nocuous bluster, are acoepting the "Alabama" indemnity deoision with tolerable grace, especially as they are congratulating themselves on the ease with which they can pay it, owing to the enormous inorease in the Excise revenue. As they put it, MWe have drunk ourselves out of the Alabama difficulty."

No Governor since war days ha done so popular an act as that of Gov­ernor Dix, who refused to pardon Fos­ter. Every creditable newspaper in the oountry has applauded it, and the popular voioe, through every channel, has spoken in his praise. His famous order, "If any man hauls down that flag, shoot him on the spot," will hard­ly outrank this act of official firmness. The law abiding citizens have breath­ed more freely, while crime has stag­gered under the blow. It is to be hop ed that other Governors, and the President, my be eueouraged bj his steadfastness to do likewise ; for just as surely aa God's law is neglected, will men and society United
