THE .sPaAauEs-A RICH FAMILY

A correspondent writing from Prov

the following interesting fact about the
SpIague family: 81 H.. ..>:
The property Of the Spragues was
inventoried this year, for taxable pur-
poses, 1t seventeen millions. IF We take
this return, as We estimate The wealth
Of. msn ordinarily by their taxes, the
real value of the property will. not fall
much short Of twenty five millions. Il
is gratifying 70 know that the brothers
Sprague make liberal use Of such por-
tions Of their wealth as isE required in
their manufacturing business to promote
the comfort Of their operatives. Wher-
ever there is ; Sprague you will Ger.
tainly find sithritty settlement The
dwellings are Of q uniform d style, and
are rented to employees at: tho loves,
possible rate. Passengers TO this city
from Hartford will have noticed the
mills and their surroundings at Baltic
and Cranston; atboth Of which places
there is the uniformity that 1 have
spoken Of. IN addition to putting up
! comfortable stenements, the Spragues
| furnish a store and market in the .viein.
| ity of each mill, out of which the opera
.tives are supplied. with tho necessaries
Of life At prices from twenty-five to fort,
per cent. lower than they could obtain
them ofregular dealers Thisok,nd o.
tRberality, makes the aworkmen feel thai
they are well of, and therefore they
,stick to their places and can be- de

elopement, the girl descended from her
room upon the traditional ladder, but
at the gate they were met by the faith

the young couple were escorted to the
parlor, where to their surprise, they
found all their relatives collected for
the marriage ceremonies. which took
place at once. It was a nest paternal
freak. Not near as neat as that of q
fond parent we know of. He heard his
daughter and her fellow plan an elope-
ment. The next day the old man wait
ed upon the young one and addressed
him thus: "You are fine brave youth,
and I don't object to you for a son-in-
law. Here's hundred to aid in the
elopement. May you live happily in

occur to throw the least shade on the

is, that you elope with my daughter

somehow her mother and I could never

"Friend-- Having promised, be-
fore leaving home, to give you q history
Of my meanderings in Minnesota, and a
description Of the country, &c., I take
this moment to fulfill such promise. l
arrived in St. Cloud-a thriving town,
With a population of some :, 900 people,
located on the west bank Of the Mis-
sissippi river, in the county Of Stearns.
It is about ten years Old and is in the
territory once claimed by the Wiuneba:
go tribe Of Indians. In this place is the
United States land Office. From St.
Cloud, in company with two settlers,
Maj. NJ. P. Noel, a surveyor and civil
engineer, and s. A. Blood, Esq, I
started on ,atour to the extreme 'front.'
ier,-our course from st. Cloud being
southwesterlJ; via st. Joseph, Cold
Spring, Richmond and Paynesville.
These are all thriving little villages.
The first three are in the Sauk Valley;
the latter on the north branch of the
Grow: river. Our course from Payncs-
vile was westerly to the central branch
Of the Grow river, over . prairie coun-
try, interspersed with groves Of timber,
and lakes. The crops through this Sec
tion promise great yield, particularly
wheat, oats, barley and rye. TIE farm
ers are harvesting the latter: Wheat
will not be ripe before some ten days..
The root crops look promising, especial
~ the potato crop. Corn is light, but
little planted. I asked why the corn is
so short. The surveyor: told me that
the ground is 80 rich that it forced the
tasscl out before it had: time to grow
higher. I confess I can't see the force
Of his reason, but suppose it is good
one. I concluded that the season is too
short here for a good com crop. The
cereals, however, do well here. I am
told by the farmers that wheat averages
25 bushels to the acre, and oats about
40. - '.:..

Crow river. our course was northward

very beautiful, rich prairie country;

tiona, there is scarcity of timber
The soil consists Of a rich, sandy loam,
