PERsonAL-Hon. f. O. Hamlin. re-
turned on Tuesday evening from an e.
tended visit to his friends in Penusylya
MIA. He is looking we'll.
ORGANlzED.-The newly elected Board
Of County Commissioners was organized
on Tuesday last The only change is in
the member from this D,strict-Joseph
Edelbrock taking the place Of H.J. Fow-
Ter. ManyI important matters are being
disposed Of by the Board, a report of
which will be given next week. The
names Of three Of the Townships in the
County have been changed-that of Te-
cumseh to Frenchville "a very poor name)
Lynden to St. Augusta, and Marion to St.
Martin. This was done in accordance
with the directions of the State Auditor,
as there are senior townships in the State
OF the same name. ..' 49, . in"
OFF AGA1N.-As the furlough Of the
Third Regiment has about expired, the
members Of Company 1, who have been
spending the time with their friends in
this part Of the State, are returning to Fl.
Smelling. They each received, by ex-
press on Wednesday, four months back
pay. Lieut.. Morse started this morning,
and the others will leave tomorrow morn
ing. They are all brave, well-drilled, ef-
6cient soldiers, and We regret that
they are to be sent from the State 1t
would seem nothing more than just that,
with certainty of serious troubles on our
border next Spring, we should have at
least one well-drilled regiment to cooper
ate with the six that are totally undis-
ciplined. 1t would render them doubly eff
Gent.
s5A few day days since Prof Crom-
we'll favored us with specimen of Cataw-
ba brandy, just received, which is said to
be tiptop article. made from the native
grape. The Prof. has full stock on hand,
to which he would invite the inspection of
his friends. .....
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS would ac-
knowledge our Indebtedness to j G. e. Fl.
q. Burbank & Co., for pass for the cur
rent year over their 6rst-class stage lines.
These routes extend throuc bout the en-
tire State, and under the management Of
this Company are stocked aud kept in
condition equal to any that can be found
in the West. We would also return our
thanks to E. Rice, President St. Paul &
Pacific r. r. Co., for a yearly pass over
that line
THE WEATHER--Never was this a
more fruitful topic than the present win
ter. 1t is now almost the middle of Janu-
AIRY and the mercury has seldom fallen to
zero, and but once as low as l2o below
Warm, summary days, with occasional
rain and sleet storms, have filled the time
SO far; and we have had but few of the
bracing times Of former winters. As one
of the effects of this, there has been more
sickness and mortality than at any time
during the past FIVE years As for snow,
there has been scarcely enough for the
boys to perform the necessary operation
each others faces at school,
and sleighing has been almost out of the
question. The prospect for the article
now looks misunderstanding fakes are
falling here and there. On Tuesday
morning last Old Sol was attended on his
upward course by two very bright sun
dogs, winch, with the mock of the
previous evening, are said to presage cold
weather. We certainly hope this may
not be long in coming.
a|Pro1essor Theodore f. Shotwell,
informs the citizens of St.
Cloud and vicinity that he has taken up
his residence at the Stearns House for the
winter, aud proposes to give lessons on
the Piano or Melodeon, or vocal music, at
the of $40 for period Of ten weeks, con-
sisting of twenty lessons; and, in addi-
ton, promises to make the terms as easy
as possible. 1t.
