New Brick YARD "A new brick yard
has been opened on Peter Brady's farm,
about two miles southwest of town, at
which the kiln for the Court House was
manufactured. They are said to be CT ex-
ce]lent quality. This will tend to cheaper
the price of brick in this vicinity.
From RED R1vER.-On Saturday Mr..
f. R: Abel, who went to Red River last
spring as engineer on the steamer Inter-
national, returned to this place. The
stage of water isso low as to preclude all
thoughts Of running the steamer this sea-
son, and she lies safely moored under the
guns of Fort Abercrombie.
CHANGE OF LocArI0N.-Thc Store
rooms on the first floor of Brokers Block,
on St. German street, formerly occupied by
0. O. Cullep's Agricultural Depot, are be-
ing finished of in handsome manner for
the use Of our enterprising druggist, L. G..
Sims, who proposes associating a brother
in the business and conducting it on an
extensive scale.
DEcL1NE.-By reference to the pro-
ceedings Of the County Commissioners,
published elseVhere, it will be seen that
H.. G. Burbank was appointed Captain, P.
Kramer LIST Lieutenant and Charles Tay-
lor I'd Lieutenant for this district. We
regret to state that Capt. Burbank and
Lieut.. Taylor decline accepting the ap-
pointments rendered them. Both would
have made good officers, but business en-
gagements prevent their performing the
duties required. The proper officer hav-
ing kindly placed our name among the
list fthose who can, be called out "to re-
pelinvasion," and whose privilege it is to
carry big .Harper's Ferry musket at
trainings" on hot July day, we had
purposed applying to Capt: Burbank for
an appointment, and visions of an eighth
corporalsbip foated in halo of glory
through our mind. In anticipation We
were putting "our squad" through the
quick movements, SO as to make good time
on retreat. But, sic transit glo, ia num-
III, the Captain declines and we are still a
"high private, rear rank"
GRAssHoPpERs.-Con uncasi-
ness has been created by report that
grasshoppers were very numerousin the re-
gion of Fort Abcrcrombie. From informa-
tion given US by Mr.. I. B. Richards, who
has just returned from Red River, we can
state that all cause for apprehension has
passed. Mr.. R. says that on the 2lst, Cd
the trip to the Fort, they saw the first
grasshoppcrs at Pommc de Terre, and OF
the 23d they we're observed in the ali: 81
ing southwark. Leaving the Fort on the
Goth, Mr.. r. states that not gsasshop-
per was seen on the return trip. Long
before this, they are out of the State.
BUSINESS NoTIcEs.-By reference to
our advertising columns it will be seen
that the business men Of St. Cloud ap-
preciate the benefits af the large circula-
ton offered them by the DEMOCRAT, and
they will be gratided to learn that although
that circulation is already almost, if not
quite, double that Of any other paper above
Minneapolis, it is still steadily on the in
crease.
Mr.. Noel announces that the "Pioneer
Store is well stocked with fruit and con-
fectionery of choice kinds. His assert.
ment Of fireworks is large, aud his ice
cream is Of the finest make. A trial will
assure you of this fact.
The Flour and Feed Store of Mr. ADJ
olson Gilmore will be found great con-
venience, as our citizens can depend upon
receiving from him at all times the, best
-four made in this section of country.
BY the advertisement of Howe's Sew
ing Machines it will be seen that an agen-
cy for their sale has been established in
town. The proof that they are the best
manufactured is made clear, and the ben
e6ts of purchasing from home agent, in
preference to any other, arc too evident to
need mention.
An important order by direction Of Col.
Miller, from Department Headquarters
will be noticed.
