Produce Trade.

The grain trade at this place is quite as &C.
tive as ever. During the past week the re-
ceipts, according to the estimate of grain buy
ers, have been about 1000 bushels per diem
on an average, or 10000 for the week. For
a county which two years ago imported every
sack of -four consumed by its inhabitants, we
think this is doing thriving business.
The wheat shipped here is Of the first quail
ity, and is highly::spoken of in the st. Louis,
Chicago and Milwaukee markets. Latterly,
our shippers, with but few exceptions, have
been sending their grain to Milwaukee, and a
great proportion of the receipts at that place
designated as having arrived by the La Crosse
road, is composed of wheat shipped at Winona
and other places in Minnesota.
1t may be anticipated by some that the sus-
pension of navigation will rnt stop to the
purchase of grain here during the winter
This will prove true only to limited extent
We are informed by several buyers that the
trade will be kept up without interruption, ,and
that so long as there is any eastern demand,
they will continue to pay cash for all that
may be offered, as usual.
With the present warm weather, there is a
prospect that the river will remain navigable
for two weeks longer at least.
We observe that firm doing business here
advertise to pay cash for any amount of dres-
sed hogs during the winter. They are pre-
pairing for packing business. This trade
will at no distant day be very important one
to Winona. The Root River Valley alone,
and the various Norwegian settlements in the
vicinity, furnish already large amount of
trade in pork to this market, and each year
it increases greatly in value Winona Rep.

TAme0g the many benefits bestowed upon
the world by the illustrious Humboldt, is the
discovery and description of the "Shirt Tree
in the wilds of South America, from which the,
dandies of that most fortunate country have
only to cut off q slice, cut q couple of Sits
for arm-holes, and, presto, they are forever
saved from the fierce temptations Of Falstaff's
memorable company. We suggest that our
Agricultural Bureau at Washington be peti.
toned forthwith to introduce this valuable
product not only into the National Gardens
there, but to every place where committees
from State Legislatures are likely to be sent
for their country's good for, by means Of it,
much squabbling and heart-burning might be
saved in auditing the accounts of such COM
mittees. What an acquisition thrifty "shirt
tree" growing in the wilds of Maine, would
have been to one member Of recent commit
teel We append Humboldt's description:
30 I'VE ssw on the slope of the Cerra Duida,
says NJ. Humboldt, shirt trees fifty feet high
The Indians cut off cylindrical pieces two feet
in diameter, from which they peel the red and
fibrous bark, without making any longitude
nal incision. This bark affords them a sort
of garment, which resembles sacks of a very
coarse texture, and without seam. The
upper opening serves for the head, and two
lateral holes are cut to admit the arms. The
natives wear these shirts of marina in the
rainy season; they have the form of ponchos
and ruanos of cotton, which are so common
in New Grenada, at Quito, and in Peru"

w A writer in Once q Week, gives the
following account of the death of the great
Pitt:
"Pitt died at his house on Putney Heath,
near the spot where Canning and Castlereagh
fought their duel, and in very neglected
state, none of his family or friends being with
him at the time. One, who was sincerely at
tached to him, hearing ofhis illness, rode from
London to see him. Arriving at his house he
rang the bell at tina entrance gate, no one
came. Dismounting, he made his way to the
hall door, and repeatedly rang the bell, which
no one answered. He then entered the house,
and wandered from room to room, till he at
last discovered Pitt on bed-dead, and en-
tirely neglected. 1t is supposed, that such
was his poverty, he had not been able to pay
the wages of his servants, and that they had
absconded, taking with them. whatever they

New Form of Oath for Attornevs.

In the Senate, this afternoon, the oath ad-
ministered to legal gentlemen, when admitted
to the bar, was modified so as to read as fol-
lows:
"You solemnly swear that you will do no
falsehood, nor consent to the doing of any in
court; you will not Willingly or willingly pro-
mote or sue any false, groundless or unlawful
suit, nor give your aid or consent to the same;
you will delay no man for lucre or malice /;
but you will conduct yourself in the office Of
an attorney within the courts, according to
and with all good fidelity as well to the courts
as to your clients. So help you God"
The old form of oath was rejected-13 to
and the foregoing oath will stand, if not
eliminated from the statutes in the subsequent
stages OF their passage in the Senate or House.

Playing to an Audience OF One.

The oldest and most eccentric circumstance
that ever came to our knowledge occurred last
Saturday. Mr.. Foster, the manager of the
Theatrical Company, then playing at Concert
Hall, was sitting in the hotel, Illuminating, in
all probability, upon the full house he was to
have that evening, when stranger entered
the room, with programme of the perform
ance in his hand
Are you the manager of this Theatre ?''
quoth the stranger. :"
81 am sir, replied Foster.
You are to play Richard the III. to-
night ?" il
Yes sir.''
81 am, always have been extremely fond
oftheatricals but never had an opportunity of
seeing Richard I'LL"
Unfortunately, leave town this evening on
the GAG train. Now, how much money would
induce your company to play Richard for me
this afternoon
Foster thinking the stranger was joking, re-
piled he would do it for twenty-five dollars
The stranger looked at the bill again, and in
quired what would be the extra charge for the
Rough Diamond. To carry out the joke Mr..
Foster replied ten dollars, and handing it to
him he remarked that he would like to have
the play to commence not later than two
o'clock.
Foster got the company together, and relat-
ed the circumstance. The idea of playing to
an audience of one, was so excessively ludi-
crous, and so now in their experience, that
they consented.
Two o'clock came, and the solitary audi
ence assembled. Choosing an eligible posi-
ton, and cooking his feet upon the back seat
in front of him, waited patiently for Ithe per-
formance to begin. The bell rang, up went
curtain, and the play commenced. Never
did actors do better. They all exerted them
selves to give their patron an entertainment
fully worth the price paid for it, and they sue
ceed. The stranger applauded vigorously at
different points and at the close of the play
called Mr.. Fannin before the curtain who re-
sponded in neat little speech. A dance and
a song followed, after which the farce of the
Rough Diamond was played The audience
laughed, roard and applauded, and, as at the
close of the first peace, called out the leading
actors.-Bucyrus Jour.

The Markets at TankatO.

The Mankato Record of this week says -
"A decided improvement in trade was per-
ceptible last week, amounting almost to activi-
ty. Considerable grain was brought from
Waseca and Steele counties, in exchange for
which the farmers took back their winter sup
plies of dry goods, etc. The trade of those
counties heretofore has gone in other direc-
tons, and in coming to Mankato it is an era in
our history We are pleased to record. The
usually bad condition of the roads to the agen-
cy is the only obstacle to an important trade
from that direction and its improvement is
an object worthy of the attention of our bus
mess men.
Country produce of all kinds sell readily at
good prices, considering the scarcity of mo-
ney and the abundant crops this season.
Some little wheat was sold last week at 65 ;
corn, ,sabout 600 bushels, at 35c; oats, 400
bushels at 20c; considerable beef and pork
the former 3@4c; and the latter &c. Beef on
foot, 24o. Hides, green. &C; dry Sc. But
ter, very abundant, at 1O@l2c. Eggs, 12c.
Chickens, plenty at 12c each. Garden City

Some Husbands DO So.

How? The habits with husbands, with
regard to the treatment of their wives, are so
various that the question can only be answer
ed by individual specimens of each mode:
Some husbands never leave home in the
morning without kissing their wives, and bid
ding them good bye, DEAR" in the tone of
umwearied love; and whether it be policy or
fact, it has all the effect of fact, and those
homes are generally pleasant ones, provided
always that the wives are appreciative, and
welcome the discipline in kindly spirit. We
know an old gentlemen who lived with his
wife over fifty years, and never left his home
without the kiss, and the "good bye, DEAR"
Some husbands shake hands with their
wives, and hurry off as fast as possible, as
though the effort were something that they
were anxious to forget, holding tht ir heads
down, and darting round the first corner.
Some husbands say only, swell, wife, am
going," and start at the word ''go," which
comes to them from some back retreat
Some husbands, before leaving home, ask
vary tenderly, "What would you like for din
ner, my dear?" knowing all the while that
she will select something for his palate-and
off he goes.
Some husbands will leave home without
saying anything at all, but thinking good
deal, as is evinced by their turning round, at
the last point of observation, and waving an
adieu at the pleasant face, or faces, at the
window.
Some husbands never say wOrd-riSing
from the breakfast table with the lofty indif-
ference of lord, and going out with heart
less disregard of those left behind 1t is
fortunate thing for their wives that they can
find sympathy elsewhere.
Some husbands never leave home without
some unkind word or look, apparently think
ing that such course will keep things
straight in their absence.
Then, on returning
Some husbands come home jolly and hap
py, unsecured the world; some sulky and
surly with its disappointments.
Some husbands bring home book or a
newspaper, and bury themselves for the even
ing in its contents.
Some husbands are called away every even
ing bv business or social engagements some
doze in speechless stupidity Oh the sofa till
bed time.
Some husbands are curious to learn of their
wives what has transpired through the day !;
others are attracted by nothing short of a
child's tumbling down stairs, or the house
| taking fire.
| Depend upon it, says DR.. -Spooner, that
nome Is the happiest where kindness and in
terest, and politeness and attention, are the
rule on the part Of the husband-of course,
all the responsibility rests with them-and
temptauon hnds no footing there.-Boston

Buy Some Cows.

Here in Mcleod County We have, ack-
nswledgedly, the best stock-raising section of
Minnesota (Which is saying good deaI, and
we sometimes wonder why more of our citi-
zens do not embark in the enterprise. Re-
moved as we at present are from any market
it is manifestly our policy to get into this
branch of farming. In any part of the coun-
try it is profitable business, better than
money at interest, but here, where we have
to haul our produce so far to market, it would
be particularly so, as compared to other occu-
pations. Then, too, it costs but little or moth
ing to keep stock in this country as pastur-
age is free, and hay costs nothing but the la
Dor of putting it up.-Glencoe Register.

Southern Panic.

The stakeholder now lives amid alarms.
He sees an army in seventeen crazy fana-
tics, and magni6es three black men with
a pitchfork into five hundred insurgents in
line of battle. He breads poison in his but
tered toast, quakes at his coffee and bolts his
door at night for fear the cook may cut his
throat with the carving knife. He dares not
go out at dark, until he has posted sentries to
arrest the house maid on her way to metho-
dist meeting. Then, pistols in pocket, he
peeps cautiously round the corner, lest some
one of his own property" should be waiting
there to murder him. The most defiant Of
swaggerers towards his white equal is the most
knock -kneed of towards as regards his black
slaves. But beware how you ask him why
he persists in sleeping on such bed of nettles
From that day he vows you are in the conspi-
racy to plot his ruin.-Albany Journal.

nary wedding at the Church of St Mary, Do
yer, lady Of more seventy years conferring
the greatest happiness of life upon a gay young
bridegroom of thirty three. Considerable Gu

the ages Of the happy pair about to be united.
The venerable bride was richly attired, but
in very good taste. She wore light silk
dress and white Honiton lace mantel lined

CELT AND SAXON.

What matter that at diferent shrines
We pray unto one Cod
What matter that at different times
Our fathers won this sod
In fortune and in name we're bound
By stronger links than steel;
And neither can be safe nor sound
But in the others veal.
AS Nubian rocks, and Ethiop sand
Long drifting down the Nile,
Built up old Egypt's fertile land
For many hundred mile;
So Pagan clans TO Ireland came,
And clans of Christendom,
Yet Joined their wisdom and their fame
To build nation from.
Here came the brown Phenician,
The man of trade and toll
Here came the proud Milesian,
A hungering for spoil;
And the Firbolg and Cymry,
And the hard, enduring Dane.
And the iron Lords of Normandy,
With the Saxons in their train.
And oh it were a gallant deed
To show before mankind,
How every race and every creed
Might be by love combined
Might be combined, yet not forget
The fountain whence lhey rose,
As, filed By many ariruiet,
The stately Shannon flows.

Accident to Prof: loves Balloon.

New York, Nov. 11-9 p. NJ.
An accident happened to Prof loves bal
loon last night, during blow. The heavy
globe of the balloon was lifted up with Jerk,
dragging the heavy sand bags that served as
weight to keep it down, several feet, causing
them to dance about like puppet dolls. A
few rods to the east of the balloon stands
small tent, containing rope and other articles
in constant use. Against sharp ridge-pole
of this tent the balloon was driven with great
violence, breaking hole in the muslin,
through which the gas rushed in dense vol
umes.
In few minutes sixty eight thousand feet
of gas in the balloon had escaped, and the
lately expanded globe presented the appear
ance of collapsed mass of flabby rags; in.
volving the proprietor in dead loss of $3,-

degrees, at an angle of about 45 from the

smoky haze, through which the meteor took
its way resembling great ball of living fire.
