PINE CoUSTY.-The friends of this new
county are making vigorous effort to have q
bill passed this winter by the Legislature, for
dts formation. Petitions are in circulation,
and meeting was held on Wednesday even
ing last at New Washington for the purpose of
determining upon the lines, and making such
other arrangements as were deemed necessa-
ry. A letter, or circular, addressed to certain
citizens of Pine county, in favor of the
same, was last week circulated and numer-
tously signed in this place, and many of our
prominent citizens are thus pledged for the
project. This begins to make it look as if the
Pine county people may finally succeed in
their undertaking.

ssThe Four Sistcrs,'' by Miss Bremen, is one
of those novels, by this genial author, which
have so pleasantly opened to US the doors of
Swedish homes, warmed our hearts in their
cheerful fireside glow, and made us familiar
with the lights and shadows of Swedish life.
The subject of tho story is Il womanss life and
q woman's fate. The novel is full of rich hu-
NOR, clever character painting, and felicitous
descriptions of town life and country life, and
indoor and outdoor scenery in Sweden. The
translation has been made by Mary Hewitt,
who seems born to do things remarkably well
write admirable stories of her own, and ad-
mirably translate the stories of Miss Bremen.
We would advise all of our readers TO obtain
il and read it. 1t is published by I. B. Pc
terson 4 Brothers, Philadelphia, who VIII send
bound copy of it to any one, per mail, free
of postage, on sending Sl.25 in a letter to
