Important Qualities.

Brandreth's Pills so stimulate all the inte-
rior powers of The system that every poison
or impurity is forced from the blood into the
bowels, and thus passes Of. Recent cases of
sickness wi often be cured by the effects o
or Brandredth's Pills, which, when the
operation is full and complete. leave the blood
as free from poisonous and unhealthy matter
as that Of newborn babe. In colds. in
iammatory. diseases. and even in cholera, their
use restores TO health sooner than all other
remedies. because they take from the blood
and bowels those matters upon which pains,
cramps, and aches depend for continuance.

The Associate Justice.

Judge Cole, as is known, in response
to the general wish of the people, has
consented to be candidate for re cleo
ton TO the Office Of Associate Jastics OF
the Supreme Court.
Judge Coles high personal character,
his proven abilities and large experience
point TO him as the proper man for this
place, and there is no doubt of his cleo
ton by large majority.
Judge L. P. Wetherby of Hudson, is
placed in nomination by tie same Office,
by the Democrats. Judge Wetherby,
as n jurist, has probably few superior5

FROZEN TO DEATH.-A man by the
name Of Patrick Murray, from Erin
Prairie, was frozen TO death Tuesday
night of last week, while on his way
home from this city. 1t will be remem
bered that the night was intensely cold
and stormy. Murray did not start home
until nearly dark. When out some ten
miles from the city, be got out of bis
sleigh to walk, letting his wife who was
with him drive the team. His wife
drove on quite rapidly two or three miles,
thinking that he could ride with another
team which was behind, in case he cod
not keep up. He, however, took an
other road, and when he was missed,
could not be found.
He was found two days afterwards
near McLaughlin's, in Hammond, lying
by the side of the road, on bis face, and
frozen stiff. This very sad affair should
serve as warning to persons exposed on
our prairies these cold stormy nights

L OCAL MATTERS.
Timber Of Pierce County.

The timber of Pierce County is a mine of
wealth, which is only beginning to be appre-
ciated by the people. We clip the following
from correspondence from Maiden Rock to
the Lake City Leader:
Our people here have found out very lately
that we have here, right in ouT midst, that
which viii in a very short time bring TO ev-
cry one what on your side of the lake would
be considered n fortune, that which but a
short time ago seemed TO every one not only
here but elsewhere, as being our great bur-
den, is now fast turning. by the aid of enter
prise, into a sort of FL Dorado, which viii

and others built on the streams, so that no
less than five mills viii soon be in running

" looked so terrible TO prairie farmers. It is
now estimated by lumbermen that the thing
will pay ligseTeTy tree now will be estima-
ted according to lis value in lumbsr- 1t is
also stated that no place between Sc. Louis
and 81. Paul has such good timber tor every
purpose as that back of Maiden Rock. We
have not the least doubt but the whole coun-
try back VIII soon be filed up with mills,
and ali the timber which so lately was a bur-.
den to the settler, will be valued as so many
gTeenbacks. Davidson d Co. are interested
IN one Of these mills. 10 get their steamboat
