long time by gathering the pods when they
begin to turn yellow, aud packing them in

An Old Emigrant Contract.

King and John Leavitt on the first part, and
Elias Harmon and his wife, all of Sufield, Hart.
ford county, Conn. 1t is illustrative of the
of the early settlement of New Connecticut
Mr. Harmon and his wife agree to remove to
the Western Reserve and labor on the land
Mr.. Harmon to have ten dollars month, and
his wife one dollar per week during the season.
They were to have ten dollars before starting
as expense money, were allowed twenty five
days TO reach the Reserve, and were to have
wages on the road. At the expiration of the
season they were to have their wages in cash,
except so much provisions as shall be necessary
to last until spring, which were to be consider
ed as part of their wages. The Company also
agreed to give Mr.. Harmon fifty acres of land
in the Township where the settlement should
be be made, and Mr.. H. agreed to become an
actual settler He was to reach his new home
in the wilderness by the 18th of May. Mr.. Har-
mon did not succeed in reaching Ohio till the
Ist of June 1893, and Aurora until the 18th of
the same month He moved to Mantua in
in Sept. 1893, and lived on the same farm with
his wife until 1851 Both the venerable and
respected pioneers died that year.
Such were the feeble inducements land-hold-
ers held out to the hardy and enterprising men
and women who first exchanged homes from
Old to New Connecticut. Mr.. Harmon was for
many years an agent for the sale of lands in
Lorain county and in other portions of the Re-
serve, and was noted for fair dealing with the
log cabin settlers. He knew the privations and
hardships attending pioneer life, and was leni-
ent and forbearing with such purchasers as were
unable from sickness or i'll luck to promptly
meet payments as provided in their articles for
land

incidental to foreclosure and sale, for the sum
of $3.50, 600 to be paid when the road so OBJ
tanned is handed over. The first and second
mortgages of the Road amount to $4,5OO,000.
The Commercial states further that the ne
cessary authorizations, papers, &C., dc have

LA CREscENT.-This prominent and promis-
ing town in Minnesota, is rapidly advancing in
Improvements, and her Improvements and pro-
g1ess promote the interests of our city. During
the last year La Crescent has been appreciated
by foreign capitalists, who have learned and
know that it must become a great commercial
point. The money of these capitalists has
been literally invested, and great number of
beautiful cottages, gravel road from the land
ing to the city, depot established for the Great
Southern Minnesota Railroad, continuous with
the principal trunk railroad of Wisconsin, secure
to La Crescent future great with promise.
No more beautiful site for an Important COM
mercial point exists in the State of Minnesota
Emigration to that State has been during the
past year enormous. La Crescent will never
equal La Crosse, but we predict that La Cres-
cent will in few years have population three
times the amount of Winona. In fact we do
not believe that any town between Dubuque and
st. Paul, on the west side of the Mississippi, 5
years from now, will equal La Crescent in pop
ulation, intelligence, public improvements,
schools and religious institutions.
La Crosse and La Crescent are the only points
between Dubuque and st. Paul. to which the
best agricultural valley in the two States is trib
utary. From La Crescent the richest and most
beautiful country in Minnesota is that through
which passes the Southern Minnesota Railroad.
The road is now being rapidly constructed, and
one year from to-day we can take the cars to
Rochester. Much credit is due the Hon. T. NJ.
Roberts for the energy and tact he has shown
in promoting the interests of the company for
which he is agent.-La Crosse National Demo-
