In oul article, two weeks ago, upon the
Pre- emption law, the name Of ALLEN p.
WELD. Esq, of River Falls, should have
appeared as senior attorney for defendant,
in the case we alluded TO (Bates VS..
Campbell.) We are sorry that we were
not correctly informed at first, but has
ten to do justice to a young and rising
lawyer of this county. We were so in
tent upon the points involved, that we
failed to get the names of all parties con-
cerned in the case.

SHOE TIPS. The American Shoe Zip
Company have introd uced. this season, a
new white metal tip, which by wear has
the appearance of Silver, and is decidedly
ornamental. A metal tip adapted to
first class shoes has long been needed /.
This new tip meets this demand, and
must come into as general use on the
finer grades of chiIdren's shoes as the
copper tips have on the common grades.

We invite the attention Of our readers
to the advertisement of Mr.. HAMMER, in
to-day's paper. 1t will be remembered
that some time ago his store was robbed
of some 5000 worth of stock, which
he never rs yet has obtained trace of.
But not at all discouraged by such loss
he has refilled his depleted shelves and
continues in trade. He has fine stock,
is a first class workmen and performs his
labor at reasonable rates. He has also an
assortment of school and religious books,
d stationery, etc. We bespeak for him
liberal patronage from our citizens.

Those Grapes

luscious. beautiful grapes, and our "mouth

the feast they afforded. The gift con-
tanned eight different varieties--the Con-

taste, commend to us the rich but mod

The Hudson and River Falls Base
Ball clubs played friendly game on the
fair grounds last Tuesday, which proved
one of the most attractive features of
the fair. AS the River Falls boys were
entirely out of practice-not having
played for nearly year-they were
not in a condition for contest with a
well organized club. The utmost good
feeling prevailed, however, each club
giving the "best turn in the wheel house."
At the end of the game the score stood,
Hudson IL to River Falls l6.

1t is said the Woman's Suffrage
Party have only one plank in their plat
form, ard that is badly split.
The city schools opened last Mon
day, with ex Supt R. Z. REED, as prin-
cipal. The former teachers are retained
in their old positions.
Mr.. L. B. Aldrich of Clifton raised
from less than one peck of potatoes,
twelve bushels. They were Of the Early
Goodrich variety. If any one can beat
that send in the figures.
-We understand the minister tn Q
Congregational society had engaged to
fill the now vacant pulpit, has disap-
pointed them and is not to come. Inter
esting services are held every Sabbath,
nevertheless.
The ladies Church Aid Society, Of
the Episcopal church, will meet at the
residence of Mrs. KATzENBURGER, on
Friday afternoon. The gentlemen are
requested to attend in the evening. A
cordial invitation is extended to all.
"A sporting" gentleman who stock
in" unsophicated youths, at the fair the
other day, with "stacked" cards and
loaded" dice, has since been provided
with quarters in the county boarding
house, as result of his nefarious prac-
tees.
Those who take lessons in penman-
ship of Muller, say he is thorough
teacher, and spares no pains to benefit
those under his instruction. We think
be should, and undoubtedly will, receive
sufficient encouragement to induce him to
continue his school here, at least another
term.
The spire Of the new NJ. E. church
is slowly rising heavenward. The Meth

the energy displayed in erecting SO fine a
building. The flock still wanders with

are Informed that minister by the name
of SEARLEs, has been appointed for this
church and will take charge in a week or
two. The gentleman is very flatteringly
mentioned.
"A quite novel and not the least at

should have been declared a "foul," al
though the judges decided in favor of
the gentleman.

so cold and wet as to make them full
month late, yet the yield has been mag

The County Convention.

The republicans of Pierce County as
sembled, by their delegates, in convon-
ton, last Wednesday, land placed in NOM
ination OLIVER S. POWELL, of River
Falls, rs candidate for member of As
sernbly, and B. n. MINER, of Prescott,
rs candidate for School Superintendent,
and also elected nineteen. delegates to at
tend the Senat orial Convention, at
Hudson on the 9th inst. The delegates
of the second supervisor district put in
nomination A. ID. ANDREWS, of River
Falls, as candidate for County Superyis-
or of that district.
There was scarcely any contention
among the aspirants TO the several NOM
nations after the convention was called,
and the utmost good feeling was mani
tested by the delegates during the entire
proceedings. The nominations made, re-
ceived the unanimous endorsement of the
Convention, and the nominees 90 before
the people, fairly and squarely, as repub-
liean candidates. Judging from the har-
monIous action of the Convention, we
think our little margin of 500 majority.
will enable us to send republican TO the
Assembly next winter.
Every town in the county was repre-
sented, except Oak Grove, whose del
egates, if it had any, failed to come to
time.
We are compelled to defer the publ
cation of the official report of the pro-
ceedings till next week. The extract be-
low gives the vote Of the convention, and
shows the unanimity and harmony
which prevailed among tie delegates.

At late hour on Thursday night q collision
occurred between the steamboat Old Colony, OF the
Fan River line, aud schooner called the Sarah
Jane east OF Falkland Island; but far as can be
ascertaned no serious damage was done. Captain
Miller OF the Old Colony, states that the pilot and
lookout OF his vessel at their posts at the time
OF the accident, and from what he learned from
them IL appears that when the Old Colony had arrived
&c the point indicated above she made light
ahead, when she IMMEDIATELY sheered TO the south
ward In order TO get out OF the way. The bow
watchman OF the steamer then heard the captain OF
the schooner give the order, "lIelm hard aport,n
Immediately after which the schooner struck the

the former was the breaking OF her bowsprt and the
carrying away OF her headgear while the latter had
two small cat holes punched IN her. Captain Miller

there on Friday, at six O'Clock. Captain Miller re-

Daud GroeSbeok Us. Wnl. z. Dunsconlb ana Nor
gan Z. DiL.-The argument OF the defendant on the
demurrer In this case was commenced yesterday
the paintf claiming that as all the complaint must
be taken as confessed on the demurrer there was q
full cause Of action. The allegations showed that
the plaintiff was one of the corporators intended by
the original charters of and by the later acts arm
ing the grants TO Trinity church, that these original
corporators were In truth all Proestants the Chris
tian world being then divided into but three divl-
e0ns-Greek, Catholic ana Protestant. That the
appearance Of delegates from the English Church at
the synod OF bort was proof OF TINS; and the fact
was stated In the complaint and admitted oy the de-
murrer for the purposes OF the argument; that II
was an admitted fact that all New York
OF that day contributed 10 the support of
Trinity church. and that al tnat day the ministers OF
that and otner churches exchanged pulps; that the
church, and especially the rector OF the church, had
departed from the rotestant faith no far as TO de-
nounce IL failure; that the estates given 10 the
church In trust were OF immense value ana had
been diverted from the trusts, the payment OF min.
listers who preached rituasm being part OF such
diversions; that the church refuses to give
any account OF its income or OF its cor
porators, and dehes the Legislature and the
courts; that the plaintiff has offered 10 preach
there and has been refused that the church
has allowed Its property TO be leased for houses OF
prostitution, thereby nJurng all the cOrporat0rs by
the encouragement OF immortality. All this, he
ella lined, gave the plaintiff right OF action and
personal Injury To be redressedan action not TO de.
stroy the institution and its powers for good but TO
remove those from its control VINO are pervertng It,
