out, and three fingers sawed off, and the
cords and arteries torn out and separated
like the strands Of rope. His left arm
was sawed entirely off below the elbow
The great loss of blood and lis intense
suffering caused his death about six o'clock
the next morning.
We have received the October No. of
the Farmer and Gardener. 1t contains
many good things, from among which we
clip the following items
SHEEP FOR ANoKA.-A few days since
we noticed large drove of sheep, some
FIVE or six hundred, on their way to Apo-
ka. They we're brought from Wisconsin
by MIR. Blodgett, who We conclnde, under
stands what kind Of farming will pay best
in Minnesota. This flock of Mr.. BIS were
very fine looking sheep, being mostly
young and fine wooled. Our farmers of
Anoka and other counties above US should
raise less grain and more wool, until they
get a railroad to Lake Superior. In that
section of the State WOOL growing will GER
tainly pay hundred per cent. more than
raising grain and corn.
We learn from the Saint Cloue. Demo-
GRAFT that Mr.. Clark has got his carding
machine, at the mouth of Sauk River, in
operation. This place, it seems, is but
short distance from Saint Cloud or Sauk
Rapids, and We have no doubt that Mr.. C
will soon have plenty to do, for many in
this State will be compelled to send their
wool up that way, or not have it carded.-
1t would seem as though somebody would
undertake such an enterprise at Saint An
th"uy, but as yet we have uot learned
that any one has concluded to DO so. For
the present, therefore, we advise our read
ers who have wool to send it to Saint
Cloud, if they need knitting yarn.
You can inferm your friends, Mr.. F.
q; g. that Mr.. Clark it prepared to do any.

good style, and will gladly extend the ben

portions of the State less highly favoaed-

Mr.. P. c. Ransom, of Saint Anthony,
informs us that he IS starting farm Of
several hundred acres, where he intends to
raise stock and sheep principally.
Mr.. Ransom has purchased the old town
site of Woodstock, and intends turning it
into farm. 1t is beautiful place, on
the west bank Of Sauk River, about eight
miles fron St. Cloud. Mr.. R. is at pres

Mr.. II. F. Masterson, of Saint Paul.
has fine lot Of pears and peaches this sea-
son, although not qnite so good a crop Of
the latter as was produced on hia trecs
last year. It is needless to state that those
trees were grown near the ground and coy-
cred in winter.
Mr.. Simoas. near by, has also fnd lot
Of these choice fruits growing in his
grounds One peach tree, especially, was
loaded this season, and presented here in
Minnesota rare and magnificent specta-

MINNESOTA ApPLEs.-B. +. Tillitron,
Esq, Of Richmond Prairie, in this county,
brought into our Office short time since,
dozen of beautiful apples from the or
chard Of his father-in-law, Henry Onstine,
Esq, who, Mr.. T. informs US, will be able
to gather about fifty bushels from his
young and thriving trees. These applee

near that place had just threshed twenty

The St Paul Press of the Goth, giving
the figures of the State election, so far as
received, says:
We have now information which salts
ties us that the Republican majority on the
State ticket will not vary one hundred,
either way, from 5000.
THE GERMAN CAVALRY COMPANY
1t will be seen by the following dispatches
that this excellent Company will leave
here in the course of few days. It
would leave at once, but that several of
the men are absent on furlough, and it
will probably take until Wednesday or
Thursday next to collect them together,
and get ready te start:
