STARTLING CHARGE.

On Saturday morning last, George
L. Van Solen, of St. Paul, was arrested
in Chicago, upon tho charge Of murder
ing, near St. Paul, DR.. Henry Har-
court, of England, in the fall of 1866.
Van Solen will be remembered by
many of our readers as the Hospital
Steward Of the 9th MINI. Infantry
During the latter part of his term of
service he was on duty in St. Louis, and
there became acquainted with DR.. Har-
court, who was in this country for his
health. They became very intimate,
and after Van Solen was mustered out
of the service, correspondent.
In April, 1865, DR.. Harcourt receiv-
ed letter from St. Paul, representing
that his services were desired by par
ty starting north, signed by W. s. Mas:
tiers as Secretary Of the expedition, and
directing an answer to be sent to the
care OF Box 1893. In August Har-.
court came to St. Paul to. accompany
the expedition, which it is needless to
state never had an existence. He was
a guest of Van Solen at his fathers
house, and no one else knew him. The
two went fishing together at locality
called Pigs E ye; on the Mississippi,
about eight miles below St. Paul. This
seems to have been only two or three
days after his arrival, aud Harcourt
was never seen afterward.- '."
Van Solen in . day or two made q
complaint at the st. Paul Police Sta
ton against Harcourt, alleging that he
had robbed him Of $50, but giyinga
fictitious description, az unlike the Doc
tor as possible. Some weeks after
ward the body of an unknown man was
found in the river, some fifteen or TWEEN
ty miles below Pigs Eye, but it was in
a state Of too much decomposition to re-
ceive Identification. Harcourt's friends
in England had received from him be-
fore he left st. Louis the letter from
Masters as Secretary of the expedition,
in which Van Solen's name had been
used. Hearing nothing from the Doc.
tor, they wrote to Van Solen at St.
Paul, and in August, 1866, he answer
ed, stating that he knew nothing Of the
Doctors whereabouts, and adding to
his signature "P. o. Box $685." the
same box it will be seen, that Masters
desired letters from Harcourt to be d.
rected. Suspicion at once rested upon
Van Solen, and after over one years
steady persistent efforts on the part of
Major McIlrath, Chief of the St. Paul
Police, enough has been developed to
warrant Van Solen's arrest.
1t is supposed that DR.. Harcourt had
with him about $1,000, which must have
been the motive Of the crime, if such a
cold, deliberate murder was committed
by Van Solen. He was, before enter
ing the army, regarded as IN honorable
young man, but since, has fallen in the
estimation of his friends, many Of whom
are not surprised at his arrest for this
horrible crime.

STRAIED Or SroLEX.-On Monday last
the Editor Of this widely circulated sheet,
(terms $500 per year) left St: Cloud with
the intention Of returning, as We are in
formed and believe, on Tuesday. He has
not yet made his appearance, nay, more
than this, he has been seen in the neigh
boruood Of La Crosse, Wis. Still worse, 1t
is reported that he is travelling in company
with some ladies and is going to Chicago.
We fear that if he persists in his efforts and
finally reaches Chicago, he may never re-
turn to us; that he may fall victim to
sone Of the arts practiced in that great city
upon unsuspec.ing youths from the coun-
try, that the finished example Of hon
esty and purity Of life We have always set
before the young man. may be forgotten,
and the work Of years totally lost. We
fear he may. forget the stories We have
taught him Of G. Washington and his
Ratchet, Of the good little boy who wanted
to be an angel, and Of another good little
boy who would NO: rob birds nests on Sun
day. All this We say causes US trouble and
sad feelings. What if he should come back
q ruined Editor, should return with new
suit of clothes or some other bad habit.
"1h, Willie, we have missed YOU
Come back then to an anxious circle of
friends. Como, ere it IS too late, and re-
ceive our forgiveness; make amends for
such behavior by quickly returning to the
embraces Of friend who could not feel
worse if he had lost five dollars on the late
election in California. All shall be forgot
ten, buried, We will forgive and forget, for
it is charitable and don't cost US any thing.
Come then as fast as your pass will allow
you; never mind the free lunch houses but
return to your first love.
If this appeal is insufficient, if it fails to
"Draw tears to eyes unused to weep,'
and the young man neglects to respond, We
shall offer an appropriate reward, one tn
will induce an active search on the part of
policemen and others in the detective bus
mess.

TlaE NEW MUNICH MURDER.
Full Particulars.

Since our last issue We have procured 10
full details Of the ARRAY which ended in tho
murder Of Peter Gau, IS possible. 1t ap-
pears that dispute was had at Boomers
store in which several participated. Gau
and John Winters who, it Is alleged struck
the fatal blow, being worry prominent.
Winters theh went to Papiu's Saloon with
his friends. eau started towards home.
stopping at Papin's, whore the dispute was
revived between Winters and himself. After
few words they passed from tho front to =
back room, when Winters seized aat'iron
and striking Gau upon tho left side Of the
head felled him to the floor. Gau was
partially insensible, but able to walk to his
wagon in which he was taken home. On
Monday he was discovered to be- danger
oasly injured, and DR.. Palmer Of Sank
Centre, being called to attend, found him
suffering from compression Of tho brain.
On Tuesday morning he died, and was
buried the next day. 1t being of the ut
most importance, that careful medical OK
animation Of the deceased should be made,
DR.. senkler Of this city, proceeded to New
Munich on Sunday last, where he met Dr..
Palmer. After exhuming tho body they
made post mortem examination which re-
vealed q severe fracture of the skull, on
the left side, extending from near the
op down about four inches towards the
base, with q short lateral fracture
towards the back Of the head. No injuries
were found on the body, so that death was,
no doubt, caused by tho blow with tho fat
iron.
Sheriff Mickey has made thorough
search for the accused, but without success. !
1t is certainly the desire that this man
Winters should be arrested and tried by our !
courts. These ARRAYS have become COM
mon, and mans life appears to be of as
little value here as in a mining country.
Mr.. Gau leaves a large family, consist
ing Of wife and nine children to mourn
his sudden and unnatural death.

But what work shall he do If he he's
men husking corn by the bushel he
should see that they husk clean, and
tie up the stalk well, and make the
bundle into stocks that will shed
rain, and not blow down in the first
wind. He must see that he does
not cheat in measuring the corn,
aud that it is properly sorted. He
can make more by attending to such
things than by husking himself. And
SC it is in nearly all the operations
of the farm. Especially must he see
to his stock. He will find ten men
that cap dig potatoes, husk corn, hoe
plow. cultivate, and even build stacks
and dig underdrains, to one that can
be entrusted to feed pigs or take care
of the cows. TO neglect to fed prop
erly-to starve this week and surfeis
the next, cost one half the feed.
But | am wearying you. ] am sat-
isfed, however, that this snbject must
receive the attention of farmers. -
Those who intend to make agricultu-
re their business should study it thor
roughly, and make themselves master
of every detail, They must know
how to 10 all kinds offarm work, and
should study especially how to direct
others. It's frequently easier to do
the work ones self than to show an
other how to do it, but it is better, in
the end, to bear with a bungler than
to let him stand idle while you do the
work John johnson is employing cons
trabands on his farm, and likes them we'll
though he says, "they cannot work them,
selves to work" That is percisely my
idea. A man with large farm must
know how to set others to work, and see
that they do it properly, and he will find
that this will give him enough to do
without going into the field to plow him>
telf Nearly all the labor we can com
mand is unskilled, and this state of
things will continue There are now
thousands of Chinese at work on the
Pacific Railroad, and when we think
that one.third the population of the globe
is in the Chinese Empire, it will not be
surprising if the high wages paid in this
cou ntry, should induce hundreds of
thousands to emigrate to San francisco,
and from there over the Pacific Rair
to the mines of Colorado aud the prairies
of the Great West. They will not be able
to "get themselvs to work, and the
young farmers of the country should ed
ueate themselves for the task. There is
not one present They have not beeu
trained to direct others, and it is time
