Directors Of the above named road. that a large

THE arrivals of wheat for the past week
have been astonishingly large. Forty thousand
bushels were received at the Elevator on Sat-
urday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last,
on the latter day the receipts being 10, 600
bushels. It Is believed that these are the four
largest consecutive days works in the line of
wheat receipts which any town in the State can
boast of-Rochester Post.
How A MURDERER Is TO EscAPE-Green,
the murderer of the bank cashier at Maiden,
Massachusetts,, is likely to escape punishment
on singular technically or rather oversight.
This is substantially the position taken by
Gov. Andrew:
The statute provides that the degree of muir
der shall be found by the jury. Green was in
dicted for murder, and, on being arraigned,
plead guilty, was adjudged guilty Of murder in
the first degree by the court, and sentenced to
be hung. Now, Gov. Andrew maintains that
the degree of murder having been ascertained
by the culprit's oaon confession, instead of the
rerdict of a, jury, the conviction is illegal, and
that no warrant can therefore be legally issued
for its execution.

a LARGE PARTITION Friday last party of
emigrants from Fremont County, Iowa, arriv-
ed at this place and camped for few hours,
about noon. There were 136 persons in the
company, with "a wagons, 40 horses, $50 sheep,
200 head of cattle, and large quantity of
farming implements, household goods, &c.
The stock was, much of it, unusually good.
This party comprises among its numbers, wag.
on-makers, 'blacksmiths, shoe makers, chair
makers, postmaster and o school teacher,
with fully enough children to afford the latter
immediate employment. They have been nine
weeks on the way, and but one of their num-
Der was sick. They left this place on the after
noon of the day Of their arrival. They intend
ed going to Otter Tail, but we learn that, since
their arrival at Sank Centre, they have stopped
there sending runners in different directions to
choose the most suitable location.-.St. Cloud
Democrat.
There are no finer sections of the State
than the Otter Tail and the Sank Valley.
Immigrants ought to visit these places be-

where. Lakes, streams, meadows, woods
and prairies can be found on almost every
quarter section.

REVENUE DECISION. Deputy Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue has written
a letter, in reply to an inquiry made of
him in relation to the duty on dress
making, in which he says that upon this
point the law is explicit, that if the mate
rial is furnished by one party and manu-
featured by another, the party so manu-
featuring is liable to the duty upon the full
value of the furnished article. He adds:
"This law may be oppressive to some, but
the relief is in adding the tax to the price
of the manufacture, and by this means the
person for whom the goods are manufac-
tured indirectly pays the duty"

THE TOMATO AS FooD.-A good medical au.
thority ascribes to the tomato the following
very important medical qualities:
LIST. That the tomato is one of the most DOW
erful aperients of the liver and other organs !;
where calomel is indicated. it is one of the
most effective and least harmful medical agents
known to the profession.
I'd. That q chemical extract will be obtained
from it that will supercede the use of calomel
in the cure of disease.
Sd. That he has successfully treated diarrhea
with this article alone.
4th. That when used as an article of diet,
it is almost sovereign for dyspepsia and indi-
gestion.
9th. That it should be constantly used for
daily food. Either cooked or raw, or in the
form of catsup, it is the most healthy article
now in uee.

ANOTHER MURDER.


commanded by Capt I. w. Iusgrove, co. l,
First U. g. Volunteers, en- route for Fort Smell
ing, were about leaving their camp near Chas'
ka, and of the soldiers was brutally murdered
by q comrade, under the following circumstan-
ces:
The detachment was composed of Company
1, LIST U. 8. Vols. and some irregular organiza'
tons, numbering about 12O men in all. They
had been at Fort Ridgely for some time, and
were going to Fort Smelling to be mustered
out. They camped on Friday night at creek
this side Of Chaska. Just as they were about
to start on, after roll call yesterday morning,
John Prior, of the Sixth Indiana Cavalry COM
planned to Captain Musgrove that James F.
Stillfox, of the Ninth Massachusetts Infantry
had stolen his pocket book, and on being asked
for it, had struck him (Prior). Seeing he was
much excited, Captain Musgrove told him not
to do anything, and he would attend to it. Al
most Immediately afterwards Prior approached
Stillfox, who was seated in wagon, and said
"Give up that pocket book" 1t is not known
what reply Stillfox made; but Prior at once
drew up his musket and fired at Stillfox. shoot
ing him through the body. He died almost
Immediately.
The ball also passed through his body and
wounded Corporal belong of the United States
Volunteers in the arm. He was taken to
Chaska and the ball extracted. The body of
Stillfox and the murderer were brought to
Fort Smelling, the latter being confined in the
guard house.
Both the murderer and his victim are what b
known as "ex-rebs."

From the Daily Pioneer Of Sunday.
George e. Stocking, the unfortunate insane
man who shot Nathan 8. Roberts of Syracuse,
New York, on the Anna johnson on Thursday,
was yesterday brought before Justice McIlrath,
for hearing on charge of murder in the first
degree. The prisoner was still suffering from
a dread of some underlined danger, and show.
ed in his look and conduct throughout, that
his reason was unseated, and his mind disor-
dered He spoke not q word during the whole
examination, but looked on with glaring be-.
widered gaze. When spoken to he replied
confusedly, and in whispers only.
The evidence of two witnesses, the two SOL
diers who testified before the Coroner's jury
yesterday, was taken. Sergeant Philip N. Fiz,
Company A, Fourth Regiment, was still suffer.
ing from the wound inflicted by the maniac
while he was trying to arrest the latter. Ser
geant Fix is the very beau ideal of Minneso-
ia soldier-(though we don't say it to fatter
him. and is physically just such model as an
artist would chose for a soldier-tall and
straight, and good looking, with an open,
pleasant, frank countenance. He.told his story
with such modest illusions to his own part in
it, yet with such intelligent clearness and con-
ciseness that all mentioned it with praise. His
own wound, even, was laughingly spoken OF
as trife, though it must have been painful,
as the ball fiattened against the bone, and the
wonder is that it did not shatter it. Had not
Sergeant Fix rushed on the maniac just as he
did, and wrenched the revolver from him,
two or three others would have .undoubted.
been killed by him. No one else seemed willing
to undertake the dangerous experiment OF
disarming the maniac. But Minnesota vet
eran is not generally afraid of bullets, and Ser
geant Fix charged on him at once. Although
fired at twice, only yard or two distant, and
wounded badly, be pressed on and closed with
the maniac. All those who witnessed This con-
will soon recover from his wound-the only
one received, we believe, during his term OF
service.
The hearing was suspended, after examining
the two witnesses above mentioned, for two
weeks, in order to see how the prisoner was
in the meantime.
The sister of the prisoner, Mrs. Electa w.
Wilmot, widow lady residing at Minneapolis,
was present during the examination. She
states that Stocking was never afflicted with
insanity until about three years ago, when it
was brought on by spell of typhoid fever.
He removed to Minnesota last spring, and pur-
chased farm three miles from Hutchinson,
where his family resides now. He is also q
brother to Mrs. Foote. the heroic woman living

A Moving Machine Made Harmless.

An article in that excellent journal, the
Country Gentleman" published at Albany,
N. Y, OF dale September, 1854, in relation to
an Improvement in the Moving Machine, has
fallen under our eye; and the invention seems
to us OF so great importance, that we call at
tention to 1t. ''-' -s.'..,. ils15
1t is the result Of the happy thought of a
lady, Mrs. Elizabeth M. Smith, of Burlington,
N. j.; and its history is as interesting as the
improvement is valuable. A neighbor of the
lady, while at work with a moving machine,
leaves his seat to disentangle a tuft of grass
from the knives; while SO engaged something
occurs to start the horses, when the mans fin
gers are cut off. This incident being men
toned at the lady's dinner table, suggested
the idea Of obviating the danger. Study of
the machinery follows and in a short time the
lady devises plan, by which the cutting bar
is thrown out of the gear the moment the
drivers weight is removed from the seat. By
means of q spring, when the driver leaves his
seat to remove any obstruction In front of the
knives, these are thrown out OF the gear and
made harmless; and upon resuming his place
they are again thrown into gear and ready for
cutting. This is, in brief, the sum Of the pat
ent-simple. exceedingly simple; but, as it
appears to us, exceedingly valuable also.
In the midst OF war excitements, we fear
this invention has been somewhat overlooked.
We do our farmers, we think, a kindness in
thus adverting to it, as the expense of its
adoption is but trifing, while it relieves the
machine of a serious objection. One of the
most extensive firms engaged in the manufac-
tJre Of agricultural implements in New Eng.
land, has examined and approved of the pat
ent, and that it will be generally adopted the
coming season, there can be no doubt.--lN. B

Devotion to the Flag

{. We have have recently seen an account OF
devotion to the flag OF the Union, which is so
good that We give it q place in our columns.
a hudson river pilot, named Peter Ford, was
captured in April, 1868, by a rebel cruiser,
near Roanoke Island, while in the employ OF
the government. just before his capture he
concealed the Union flag Of the vessel on
which ne was employed, in one leg of his sail
or's ample trowsers, and for two or three
months ingeniously kept it from the know
ledge of the Libby Prison inspectors. On the
Fourth OF July, the prisoners had a ceebra-
ton, at which orations were pronounced, pro-
cessions moved, and the American flag was
foated conspicuously over all. 1t was impos-
sible, OF course, after this to deny its existence
and so it was carefully wrapped up with the
package of soiled clothing and a hint given to
the faithful laundress who kept it, until a vain
search by the rebel officers for the detested
'grldiron" had brought mnltitudinous curses
to their traitorous lips. After Its return its
owner snugly sewed it up in the lining OF his
haversack, and although that article was at
one time carefully searched for concealed wea-
pons, not suspicion of the treasure it conain-
ed was excited. The pilot was recently ex-
changed and the scene that ensued is thus de-
scribed: us A4
The moment he touched our lines he tore
open his haversack, and almost with magic
| speed the Stars and Stripes-the Emily's Old
mag hoated in the breezeI The effect is de-
scrlDed as terrific; cheer on cheer was raised
BY the brave boys that surrounded him. The
general in command rode up TO learn the
cause OF the excitement, and when the matter
was explained, he took of his cap. waved his
sword, and ordered that the flag SO gallantly
preserved should be properly greeted. The
greeting was given with all the ardor Of patri-
otic lungs. llll -
