around.

A gentleman from Farribault, Rice Co.,
Minnesota, informs us that ALEXANDER
FRRRlBAULr, Esq, raised the present season
a pumpkin weighing sixty-four pounds
This mammoth specimen of Minnesota veg
citation, had been partially eaten by hogs
before it was weighed, and it was estimated
that it must have weighed originally very
near one hundred pounds. Another weigh
ed sixty-six pounds.
The Cannon River Valley in which Far
ribault is situated, is one of the richest Sec
tiens of Our Territory, and is fast becoming
one Of the most densely populated. The
specimens Of the fuxuriance of its vegeta-
ton given above, are of course beyond the
common yield, yet we are assured that it
well deserves the appellation of the Gear
den of Minnesota" Numerous specimens
of corn grown there were found containing
twenty-five rows to the ear. These facts
demonstrate we think, that the Cannon
River Valley, and its products, are "some
pumpkins"

Very Sharp Trading.

There lived, few years since, among the
"Finey Woods" fellow whom we will call
c., who thought he knew something about ma
king bargain, and other people had good rea-
son to think so too. BY his cuteness, G. had
accumulated considerable estate, and among
other things owned a large lot of cattle. There
being sudden demand for cattle in a town
not very far off, sharp fellow of butcher,
named A, rode past from the city to buy some
of C's cattle, and c., ignorant of the rise of
cattle, soon agreed to sell A. hundred head
at 50, round. The bargain had not been made
couple of hours, before another butcher rode
up to buy C's cattle, also, and G. discovering
the rise, felt he was 'sold,' but at the same
time, that he was not yet delivered.
A. soon after learned that G.. had a sister,
who also had cattle for sale, and c., bargain
ing for his sister, sold A., whatever cattle she
might have at $l2, round. The next day at
daylight, off went The parties to drive up the
CATTLE but nearly every COW and steer they
found belonged to C's sister. Over and over
G. would say, "Ah yonder IS some. Them
must be mine. No! sisters agin,' and strange
to say, though the neighbors had thought be-
fote that G. had great many cattle, and isis
ter very few, yet hundred head were found
belonging to C's sister, and the days search
could produce only five or six that belonged to
G. And A. paid Sl2 head for sisters cat
tie, and 50 head for Cs, and drove away to
his slaughter pen.
But A. had himself reputation at trade,
and five or six months after the ''sale" of cat
tie, rode up into C's neighborhood on very
snowy horse, and met g. by accident. "Good
morning, sir" said G.. allow are your" The
butcher returned the compliments, and very
soon c., who had been cycling the horse, even
before his very hearty salutaton of the rider,
asked, carelessly, if the horse was gentle.
Gas lamb" said A.
"Draws ell ?" said c.
"Well, he does" replied A.
"Fdmdy horse. Want to buy?
don't care if d." said c., "What will
you take for him?"
1.-Two seventy-aves,' said A., "cheap at
that"
After considerable bargaining, C. found that
A. would not fall dollar, and as the horse
was dead match for one he owned, and he
&. told A he would take him, if A. would
drive him in buggy. A. is a bold man, and
believes in luck, so he put the horse in a bug
gy, and that time the horse did draw gently
The two seventy-fves and the horse changed
hands, and the first time G. put the horse to
his steady york, the wagon went to pieces the
match horse got killed. and the late purchase
went through the woods at the rate Of -,
with bits Of harness on him.
Shortly after this, c. and A. met. "Mr.
A." said C., with virtuous indignation, chow
could you sell me your Internal horse?"

moments reflection, in these days when we
are too apt to discourage the organization
upon which depends the country's ability to
defend itself. Here is an extract
In most nations law is upheld and govern
ment sustained by standing armies Nay,
some capitals are surrounded by bristiing can
non, ready alike to be pointed at the enemy
without and the citizen within. We are Re
publicans-we believe that law AMI order can
be best maintained by the people themselves.
We believe that we can be safe under the
guardianship of citizen soldiery, body OF
men not detached from the mass of the com
munity, but making part of it, In short, an
American is man who believes he can do his
own fighting better than another man can do
it for him. 1t requires no long training to
make him soldier. He takes up arms not
for the sordid motive of pay, but for the love
of his country. An American army is not a
mere machine, whose force can be calculated
by the momentum OF its numbers, and the per-
lection of its discipline, and which must be
driven to the charge by the swords Of its Off
GERS. 1t is living mass of spontaneous valor
instinct in every fbre-with intelligence and
patriotism. And therefore its onset is irresist-
ible, more terrible than the Storm more de.
structive than the lightning of heaven. An
American knows nothing of loyalty, nothing
of allegiance. He identifies his country with
himself He is his country. He carries his
country in his strong arm and stout heart, and
therefore ne is invincible to any mortal power.
\ standing army, then, is unnecessary for us.
a citizen soldiery is sufficient. 1t is the cheap
est and the safest defence of the liberties Of the
country
But it docs not follow that because it is suf
ficicnt it is therefore unnecessary, aud may be
safely permitted to 60 down. 1t does not fol-
low that it is wise, just or Christian, to treat
it with Obloquy and contempt to hold it up to
ridicule and eXecration. In the country, the
military organization that now exists is the
only guarantee of the execution of the law
and in the cities the only security for life, lib
crty. or property. And the very churches, in
which all warlike demonstrations are denoun-
ced, are held in security from sectarian ami
mostly and tumultuary violence, by no other
power than the citizen soldiery, who are known
to be within call.
The first and noblest use, then, of the right
and paraphernaia of war is to keep the peace
not the paralytic peace of nOn-intercourse and
mutual distrust, but the peace of prompt and
quiet administration of justice, the freedom not
only from danger but fear, the universal re-
spect for law and order, which arise from the
conviction that no criminal or combination oil
criminals, can be permitted with impunity to
insult the majesty of the Commonwealth.

pIThe war in Europe is increasing the
German emigration very largely, the people of
that country choosing rather TO find peaceful
homes in the American wilderness than to run
the chance of getting their brains dashed out
for the glory Of some imperial master or petty
prince no better than themselves. For the
eight months commencing January and ending
with August, the returns show total of arri-
walls at New York, of Irish, 54,548; German,
ll9,5OO; making, with natives of other coun-
tries, grand total of 2O9,4l4. Many of these
German emigrants are men of capital, who
enrich the State in which they settle with their
savings as we'll as with their labor.
