IS Sound the Loud TimbreI.,

The hearts of our people have reason t.
rejoice over the bountiful harvests they ma!
expect this fall. The yield Of wheat vii
., erage M!rty:fee bushels per acre. Oats
are looking fiuely, and corn is in excellen
condition. 1t is impossible to estimate tn
amount or value Of the CROP 1t il safficien
to say that no other State in the Union ha
such an excellent prospcct-and it settles
the question in res'r;l to the agriculture
capacity and resources Of Minnesota.
Minnesota at one bound has proved her
self an agricultural State of unequaled prom
Use. The silly nonsense Of our Southern
ncighbors in regard to our Northern lati
tude, is forever set at rest. We can raise
more grain per acre, and better article
bringing from 5 to 10 cents more per bushe
in market, than that Of any North western
State. This is glory enough.
The good time is coming. There need
be no cracking fears. We are t. he Judged
by our crops. BY our fruits ye shall know
u.s. and while the pale and sckly Wolver-
ines, Suckers and uoosers are shaking with
the aSuc and pounding about among stones
and ssnmps VIC, with ruddy health and re-
wardcd labor, are bounding to certain wealth,
AMI prosperity.
Let the proclamation go out. Come to
our borders, ye pale, ague shaken sons Of
swamps and poor barrens, and with strong
hands aad healthy families, SOW and reap
and dig 6om our fertile soil the unequaled
wealth Of Minnesota. Bring your house,
hold goods and a few sheep, and we promise
you wealth and speedy competenc~.-
Here the law allows you to keep what you
get, and you can get to the full cxtant OF
your desire if you will practice industry y,
and temperance, and economy. We want
no slusssards or shiftless men, expecting to
be fed by some divine interposition. We
have no use for Elijahs, for we have no
ravens but we have the best soil the sun
ever shone on, and Uncle Sam is rich enough
to give you all farm-if you come soon
enough.
The Fourth in Red Wing.
The sun rose bright and clear on Wednes-
day morning last, and the new day Wa
ushered in by the firing Of national salute
Of thirty three rounds Of cannon. No ar.

duty Of each one to enjoy himself as bes
he could, and we rather guess that every
