The Railroad Lands.

Il will be of interest to our readers in
the La Crosse Land District to know
that the lands belonging to the West
Wisconsin Railway COmpany-late To
nah & St. CToix-are now in tho mar
ket. s. w. Bowman, one of our re-
spected cilizens and thorough business
men. is the Company's Agent to dirpose
OF these lands. These lands are located
in every county composing the La Crosse
Land District. comprising an area of $50.
600 acres. The Company will respect
the improved claims of settlers on the
lands BY giving them the preference.
The price will vary according to the
quality and location Of the land, but in
no instance will it be less than the Gov
eminent price.
Terms: For immediate improvement,
and for that which has been improved, at
least one quarter down, the balance to suit
purchasers, the time not to exceed five
years, at ten per cent. For other purpos
es, cash down in ell cases.
There are many thousands of acres of
excellent farming lands owned by the
company, and those who purchase early
will find good bargains.
The Company is TO be congratulated
upon their good fortune in securing the
services of so competent a man as Mr..
BOWMAN. In large circle of acquain-
tances we can think of no man SO well
suited to perform the work.
Persons wishing to purchase or make
inquiries in relation to the lands call on
or address S. w. Bowman, Black River
Falls, Wisconsin, who will comply with
their wants with promptness. lie is now
ready for business.-Black River Falls
Banner.
The above is important to the people
in the eastern portion of this county who
have settled upon aud improved railroad
lands belonging to this company. This
county beirg in the St. CrOix Land Dis
trict IT'S lands are not yet in market.
They will doubtless be brought in soon,
aud those interested in these claims can
then come to q settlement with the com
pany's agent and get valid title. We
presume the sane terms will be granted
in this district that are given in the La
Crosse district rs mentioned above.
II We understand that many settlers
have been pre-empting these lands in pur:
suance of a state law passed last winter.
The title this pre- emption gives to the
settler is not worth the paper it is print
ed on and never wi be. The state has
nothing to do with these lands. They
now belong to the railroad company,
holding the land grant. If it fails to
fulfill the conditions imposed, the lands
revert to this general government in
which case they can be pre- empted in
the usual form according to the provis
ions of the homestead act.

Spirits and Tobacco.

By the Revenue law, and instructions
Of the Commissioner dealers in spirits
must not only see that all packagesSent
out By them bear the stamp and brands
which are required BY law to be placed
upon the same. but also that packages
received by them from other dealers are
properly stamped and branded before
they receive the same. Tho plea of in
nocence on the part of dealers will no;
hereafter save from seizure spirits not
properly stamped and branded"
The same principle applies with equal
force to all kinds of tobacco. The law
also peremptorily requires every person
before engaging in any branch of business
liable to special tax, las license) to make
return to the assistant assessor, stating
the kind of business, etc., and pay, to
the collector, said tax. Those interested
are expected to observe the above. "a
word to the wise is sufficient"

We have been buried alive-yes Der
ried alive. 1t is generally supposed that
it is not pleasing sensation to be buried
alive but we have been berried, and our
experience teaches US that it is good
lhing-with plenty of sugar and cream.
We have been berried good deal dur
ing the past week and our many friends
have our hearty thanks therefor. This
is the way it was done, those who did
it, and what they brought to do it.
Mr.. JAMES MATERIAL brought US
lot of fue strawberries the largest of
which measured 5 inches in circumfer-
ence. That strawberry we did not think
could be beaten.
The next day GEo NICHOLS put IN an
appearance with quantity Of the same
delicious fruit, all about the same size
and averaging more than inches IN cir
conference. They were beauties" and
no mistake.
Mr.. r. G. CuMBEY made us liberal
donation of "nature's sweet pets, aud nj.
w. BARB treated us in the same friendly
manner.
Last though not least Mr.. H. Doe pre-
scented US a basket of monsters,--the
largest of which measured 81 inches in
diameter-the largest we have seen yet.
If any one thinks they can BEAT that we
are las the young lady sadly ready TO re-
ceive proposals. For your kindness
friends again we thark you.
We think it was BEECHER who said
that he believed God could make
better berry than the strawberry but he
never did" He was right.

Tribute of Respect.

AT a regular communication Of Acacia LODGE
No. 81, A. F. NJ, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted:
The swlft-winged messenger of death, which
ls over bearing away the sons of men, has
again visited our Lodge, and snatched away
beloved brother, thereby creating another
void and carrying papg Of sorrow to our al
ready lacerated hearts. Our companion and
brother, JOHN NJ. SCOTT, will never more
mingle with US, nor his voice be heard in our
social circle. He has forever disappeared from
human sight-his manly form has been borne
by us in sorrow to the silent tomb, to moulder
to it's mother dust But we fondly cherish his
memory, and duly appreciate his worth and
as token of our high esteem for one 30
worthy OF it, be it, therefore,
Resolued, That in the death OF our late bro
ther, j. NJ. Scott, Acacia Lodge has sustained
an lrreparable loss; and while we mourn his
departure, we nevertheless meekly bow in
humble submission to the will of God, who in
the wise dispensations Of His providence has
seen fit to remove him.
ResoIred, That page in our Journal be in
scrlbed to his memory, and that a COPY of
these resolutions be furnished for publication
in the Columbia Daily Ph@ni1.

Hall and Major Brannan, between whom
a grudge had existed for some time, met
in saloon and quarreled, when Hall
drew ten-inch knife and stabbed Bran
nan five times in the back, once in the
neck and the arm. Brannan fought
desperately, and finally succeeded in
knocking Hall down, and taking the
KNIFE from him, cutting him in the
breast, arm, back andi leg. Both men
are probably fatally wounded, but as
they ore both desperate characters. little
sympathy is manifest for them.
