1t is highly important that statistics like
these should have wide circulation. We
should fully realize that an average of twen-
ty.five bushels of wheat per acre, is far
above that ever produced by any other State
in the Union, and that the knowledge of
this fact abroad would be of incalculable
benefit in encouraging emigration.
The following is also from the Republi-
can: .r.t. .t
A most singular and fatal accident occurred
at short distance from this city on last Satur-
day morning. Mr.. Hammond, of LaMeille, and
Robert Campbell, residing near the same place,
started, at an early hour, to come up to Wlno-
ma on business. They rode in q light wagon,
drawn by one horse. From the time of starting,
as we are informed the animal was quite rest.
i've, and manifested desire to run away. On
coming down the hill just below Homer, the
rens got entangled, or some part OF the har'
ness gave way, and the horse, becoming thus
unmanageable, ran down the hill at terrific
rate, overturning the wagon, and throwing
both its occupants violently upon the ground.
Mr.. Hammond sustained only comparatively
trifing injuries, but his companion, Mr.. Camp
bell, it would appear. was instantly killed by
the fall. His head came in contact with rock
or stone on the roadside, the violence of the
blow breaking his neck, and, as is supposed,
instantaneously depriving him of life.
ON Saturday night, the 10th, the dwelling
house of j. w. Vaughn, Esq, of Farmers
Grove, was totally destroyed by fire. Mr..
V. was absent from home during the night,
and only learned of his loss the next morn
ing.
The Mankato Record says the people of
that section are rejoicing at the ratification
of the Winnebago Treaty. 1t will add about
one-third to the taxable property of the
county. 1t is believed that most of the
lands will be taken by actual settlers, and
that large emigration from Wisconsin is
expected as soon as the lands are offered for
sale.
We clip the following items from the
Record:
During the past week our merchants have
been doing good business. Since the Winne-
last, these Indians have been spending daily in
our town from two to three hundred dollars.
On Saturday last the hotel at Garden City
was destroyed by fire. The title to this pro.
perty is in dispute, between Messrs. Folsom
and Evans. 1t was occupied, but by whom
we have not learned.
Several weeks ago we stated that Mr.. An
fhnnty Of hicY infa Ia1
here mill for the manufacture of various
kinds of oil from seeds. We have since learned
that Mr.. Phillips has contracted for the erec-
ton OF his mill and machinery, to be completed
some time in July.
One day last week the squaw of Winneba-
60 chief, named Little DEBORAH, gave birth to
twins. This is notable advancement in &C.
curing " civilized habits"
CLEVELAND, LIE Sueur county, Minnesota,
is undoubtedly great place-because they
have paper there. The Herald says forty
families are going to settle there, from two
states, and then adds, "Cleveland forever {"
"a magnificent church is commenced on
Broadway"-and to this is appended: "This
is the way our streets are ornamented I"
The statement is made that fifty thousand
dollars worth of improvements will be made
in Cleveland this year, and the editor, grow
ing excited, exclaims, "Hurrah for the me-
tropolis of LIE Sueur county," Having
got through with statements of facts, the
editor condescends to note "rumor afoat,"
that large Touring mill will be built, with
four run of stone, two for wheat and two for
corn-this caps the climax-he can't do
justice to SO many "run of stone," and he can
only say, "Cleveland Excelsior !! F" Having
noticed some of the articles of this valuable
local paper, we copy the following:
This issue is fair sample of the lie Sueur
County Heraid.' Advertisers need have no
hesitation about sending in notices.
We trust our "notice" will be acceptable.
The Faribault Republican, edited by"O.
Brown" is getting more exasperated than
even Greeley. He says:
We expect, and we know that it is the ex.
pressed expectation of the Republican masses
of the North West that the surrender or aban.
dOnment of Fort Sumpter is to be the last de.
grading act of humiliation we are to be asked
or required by the administration to peaeea.
as we'll ponder the fate of the great Marshfeld
"expOunder," and he may choose between
filling an ignominious grave with the execra-
tons of millions of his disappointed country
men, his only monument. or by carrying out
the will of his constituents occupying proud
and prominent page in his country's history,
and with glorious monument in the hearts of
his fellow countrymen.
Hear him again:
Had the Republicans of Minnesota known
last fall, that such men as Ripley of Minnesota,
and John j. Crittenden of Kentucky-who is
now talked of for the Supreme Judgeship-
were to be the appointees of Mr.. Lincoln, in
stead of giving him $500 majority, they would
have given 10 600 maj ,rity against him. Mr..
Lincoln and his Cabinet may think the Repub.
ican party of the North West, outside of Hi.
nois, of small account, and their feelings may
be outraged with impunity.
