The Goodhue volunteer. [volume] (Red Wing, Goodhue County, Minn.) 1861-1864, 1862-03-12

~~~~~~--~~~~-~
SoLDlERs' AtD.-The ladies' Of Red Wing,
hot long ago. sent seventy nine towels up
70 Capt. Hubbard's Company, the same being
thu purchase Of the last Of their funds
amounting to about eight d lars.
PUBLIC LAws.-With each number Of the
Volunteer we shall publish number Of the
laws passed at the late session Of the
State Legislature. until all of public ma
lure, and all Of a private or local character
That in any way interest our readers, shall
have been published.
DlsrRtcr CouRr.--By law that passed
the Legislature at the last hour its session.
the time Of holding Court in this county was
changed from the third Tuesday in June to
the third Tuesday in May, and from the
frst Tuesday in January to the first Tues
day in October. This arrangement is en-
sirsly creditable to Mr.. Mcclure, and it is o.
great advantage to the farmers who may be
.saisors in Court, or on the jury.
MAPLE SUaAR-The time is near at hand
when sap will begin to run, and when sugar
making season will be ushered in 1t is for.
tunate that the sugar season comes along Sc
early IS not to interfere with other spring
business. We hope every person who owns
or can get the use Of a sugar orchard will
give it his attention this year, as we know
It will he for his interest SO to do. We un.
derstand that ono company Of three mer
have made extensive preparations for max.
ing sugar this spring. They have 1,COC
troughs already made and on the ground.
PERSONAL Hon. Charles Mcclure, Sen
ator from this county arrived home from his
official labors at St. Paul, last Friday
Those Of his clients and others who need
legal assistance vii! find him at his office.
OUGHT TO BE DoSE.-We hope the com
ing summer will not be allowed to pass
away without some measure being taken ia
protect the property on Main street against
fire. We mist have at least two good large
eisterns, one on the corner Of Main and Bush
streets, and the other on the corner of Main
and Plum streets. The expense OF making
them will be but trifling, and the advantage
Of them is almost incalculabIe. The whole
expense of building them might be saved in
two or three years in the reduction Of insu-
rance premiums which they would occasion
on the property in the vicinity.
Perhaps the citizens and the City author
sties arc waiting for the Fire Company to
bui|d them! II SO they must continue to
wait. The Fire Company will do anything
in reason, but they can't make ~ the i'm
provement in the city and take nothing but
curses for their pay.
SORGHUM We cannot too urgently press
upon the attention Of our farmer readers the
Importance Of raising, as far as can be done
oil they consume. Among the items tina,
enter most largely into consumption is suga,
and syrup. 1t costs more than the brea
or the meat. Now that tax upon your in.
dustry can in \ great measure be met by
your own production. Sorghum Syrup has
been, in this county, and can again be man
ufac.ured, as nice as any syrup of Southern
production. A quarter of an acre will pro.
duce all that will be required 10 last an or.
binary family a year, and the labor is bu,
trifling compared with the benefit derived.
