The men and women who spend their
midnights in the feverish excitement Of
cards, are not thepeople to govern states or
rear families Of treemen ~ I'll #
We appeal principally to the women in
this matter, because they have a right to be
as much better than the men as they pos
sibly can be. They have right to guard
every avenue by which the enemy might
enter their homes, OR the community, to
lead the unwary into sin. .s~~.,.. ... -.
Women have right to be very nearly
as pure as the angels are; and every one
should strive, above all things, to obtain
that right, because it is worth more than
all others. Their influence should frown
bad men away from the appearance of evil

is an appearance of gambling, and drunk.

:
. Best way to manage prairie squirrels is
to go to work and make number Of board
traps and set them around your pieces Of
corn Or whatever they trouble, fifteen or
twenty rods apart.
They can be made and set with half the
time that it takes to shoot them; making
them after the fashion of the figure 4 or a
better way is to use hoop at the open end
to hold the board up with the spindle at
tached ty the back end with string. Set
them on hard ground SO the board will shut
down snug; split the spindle and put some
corn in, scatter a few kernels each way OF
the trap and put plenty Of weight on the
board and you will find it ten times better
than shooting poisoning or any other way
for you are sure to get all the shy ones ant
they will watch the piece while you arr
gone.

Work COMMENCED ON THE TRANSIT
RA1LRoAD.-Yesterday the Transit Rail-
roads broke ground on their Road. The
contract has been awarded to Mr.. A. De
Croft, reliable contractor throughout the
United States. The terms Of the contract
are, thirty miles to be graded by the first
day Of January, 1859, and seventy-fve
miles to be graded and fifty in running
condition by the first day Of January, 1896.
l believe this is the first work done by the
Railroad Companies in our State. About
two thousand people were present, and
speeches and cheers were abundant. Mr.:
De Croft has about fifty men to work now,
and is adding to the number rapidly. It
is intended to have force Of one thou
sand five hundred men at work by first of
July.
This is what the people expected when
they voted SO enthusiastically for the Loan,
and we are glad to record the Transit
Railroad as the first to show themselves
read " to fulfill their promises.
Truly Yours, MINNESOTA.

LOST BoY's.-The Saltwater lMessenqe,
of the 18th, says that two little boys, sons
of Mr.: George Wells near that place, aged
IL and Is years respectively, left Stillwa-
ter for their home-slnce which, nothing
has been seen or heard of them. When
they started home, it was raining slightly,
and was near night, and it is supposed they
got off the road and wandered into the woods
or prairies north west of the city. The
family supposed they hadstopped with some
friends in the city, and did not become
alarmed about their absence until late yes
terday afternoon, when inquiry was insti-
tuted. Last night a large party from the
