a son of Elder Lowry, of Moscow, aged
about 10 years, met with severe accident
few days since, which may possibly result in
the loss Of his right arm. Young Lowry was
in the field, with another person, for corn, and
while in the act of placing a rifle upon the load,
went off, the whole charge lodging in his arm,
between the elbow and the shoulder. He was
taken to the honse, and Drs. Coon and Allen,
of Austin, called to dress the wound. They
found the bone fractured, and the artery, nerve
and vein severed. Hopes are entertained of
saving the arm, though amputation may yet be
necessary. Austin Mirror.

The Hastings Independent has conversed
with very intelligent individual, who has
brought 25O sheep into the State for wool
growing purposes. He expresses himself Of
the opinion that Minnesota has advantages
over any other State for wool growing, not
excepting far famed Texas. His sheep can
be seen at Cannon Falls, and farmers should
not fail toimprove the opportunity to secure
start in breeding sheep.

Col. STEVENS, of the Glencoe Register,
writes an interesting account of the First
Annual Fair of the Mcleod County Agri.
cultural Society, held at Glencoe, Oct. 20,
1859. He says the articles exhibited were
not numerous, but we'll selected; and for the
first attempt, in so new county as Mcleod,
they would compare favorably with those
put on exhibition east of the big woods.
The Col. thus speaks of lady who ex-
hibited hearth rug:
Mrs. Cummings is a woman of whom we feel
proud. She has not only brought up family
of children and raised them to man and woman
hood, but she has improved her leisure mo-
ments in manufacturing those articles which,
together with her exalted worth and merits,
will be memorials when she is a resident of an
other and a better world.
OF the products of the dairy he says:
We are sorry to say there was no cheese, but
the splendid golden butter on exhibition. made
by Mrs. jeremiah Mobiles, Mrs. Prentice Chubb,
and Mrs. j. Merris, took us back to the days
Of Goshen, and the Western Reserve. 1t al
most made the mouth melt TO look at it. We
do not know which was the best-it was all
good. Mcleod County dairy folks, co vs., and
grass. will show the State yet that golden but
ter and rich cheese will be staple product.
A Mr.. CUMMINGS raised one hundred and
thrty.seven bushels of wheat from nine
bushels sowed.
Hear the Col. dilate on preserves and
jelly:
To Miss Francina A. Cummings belongs the
credit of introducing the sweetest and best lux.
ury in the shape of jelly that we have tasted
for long time. 1t was delicious. When we
consider whence it came. we are not surprised
that it was so. 1t caused our old friend Clay.
borne Chandler who il great admirer of such
things, as well as of the ladies, to renew his
age once more.
SwINE.-Everybody who could had hogs in
Abundance on the ground. This was one OF the
best parts of the Fair. The exhibitors of swine
were B. F. Buck, +. E. Ford. JnO. H. Stephens,
John Lester. George Harris, Lawrence Gilick.
l. w. Cummings and others. Mr. Testers stock
hog of the grass.fed variety, was general ia
vorite. He imported him from Illinois; his
stock was brought from New Hamshire. There
was not poor hog or an Indifferent breed on
the ground. Two years ago there was hardly
a pig in the county-n0w they are numerous,
and by another year or two, we hope, we shall
be considered the porkopolis of the state.
In conclusion, be states that the Fair was
a decided success, and much better than the
first fair held in Hennepin County in 1854
The Saltwater Messenger announces that
the Rev. II. NJ. NICHOLS has resigned his
pastorate relation with the Presbyterian
Church of that city. The Messenger Gays {:
Mr.. Nichols commenced his ministerial labors
in this city six years ago, and has been closely
identified with all the religious and educational
movements which have done so much towards
elevating the moral and religious sentiment in
this city. No other citizen or agency has done
more for our city in this respect than he; and
the impress of his good works, his christian
eXam3le, and laborious teachings, will be seen
and felt in this community long after he shall
be called to his reward.
