took occasion to examine the list of subscri.
bers in St. Paul, Hastings, and Red Wing
and noticed the call for aid in this enter.
prise was being literally responded to. Por-
sons who subscribe, will not be called upon

The Glencoe Register notices that a gen.
t'cman Of that place has fine lot of fat

Goodhue county, in this State, is groan.
ing under the extravaganza of Republican
misrule. If they can Jump higher" or
"stoop lower" than the Republicans of
Winona county, they can have our Court
H1use-that's Wiuona Democrat.

The Hastings Independent says a rumor
was circulated in that town last week. to
the effect that a man having the small pox

they were kindly received, and courteously
treated but in few instances they we're
grossly idsulted. The proprietor of one Of

ladies proceeded to deliver lecture at him.
The Taylor's Falls Reporter alludes to
the discovery Of quantity Of copper, as
follows: "On Tuesday last we were shown

considerable quantities in this region Of

pay fortune to some one"
