Not long since, the daughter Of wealthy in
dividual, was married in this city. The wedding
was, of course, magnificent affair, and, to be in
fashion, the table was supplied with liquors of all
kinds. What was the result? Among the tipsy
ones that night were young and old, male and fe-
male, and it is stated as fact that more than
one mother was borne to her carriage, from their
inability to walk The proprietor Of the man
sion was SO disgusted with the spectacle that he
abolished liquors Of all kinds from his house for
ever. Heaven knows it is bad enough for men to
become drinkers. Do not encourage strong
drinks, then, among the fair and gentle sex, to
mar their beauty and their chastity. Danish it
from your household, forbid it at all gatherings
there and if you cannot do without taking drink
yourself, pop into a coffee house, and pay a dime
for it, like a man!LCincinnati Times.
ca That advice is all good enough but the
latter part. Do MT touch strong drink anywhere,
in coffee house or out of it, would be the advice
weiwould give. A man in liquor makes himself
ridiculous to every one with whom, he comes in
contact, and once drunk, he looscs his influence
and too often his self-respect, and life of de-
gradation and drunkenness follows. Touch not
the wine cup, for 5s5I t'a ra N .eaaa

A NARROW EscAPE.-I received lancc-thrust
in the stomach from the right, which fortunately
just missed me, but broke my cap pouch and tore
away my revolver case. / also had sabre cut
in the arm, but it fell very lightly, as shot the
Russian dragoon through the head when his arm

my revolver three or four more Russians, but
as they were little detached from their mair,
body thought it would be a little too much like
murder. 5-.. 4.. l.-. .4,<

known banker and dealer in real estate in st.
Paul, is giving, through the columns Of the Daily
Times, the prices Of real estate in and adjacent

practical business man, and whose statements can

MINxEsorA WnEAr.-Mr. vansyke, of Cottage
Grove, wasin town yesterday, and having thresbed
his wheat crop, says that from the FIRST or sod
ploughing, he raised from 25 acres-measured BY
Major Furber-eight hundred and sixty-three
bushels Of good Wheat. He has at this moment
a market for the above grain at his own door at
$l.30 per bushel-making the neat sum Of $ll2l
90-a farmers income from the first crop, taken
from 25 scyes of wild land. Now this Is not
single instance, but the Furbers, Furguson, Davis,
Watson, and dozens of others, will all be equally
prosperous. Their Oats, Corn and Wheat crops
will yield quite as well. In What part Of our
country can farmers, at SO little expense, show q
gain like the above. Every word Of the above
may be proved upon oath If necessary.
