CEDAR, RENv1ILE Co., Aug. 2, 1869.
EDITOR JouRKAL.-Is this locality out Of
your beat? Ifiod Stearns county people

That are wonderful in their way. Tom
Vinacky, who used to run the grist mill in
Fair Haven, does the grinding for the farm
ers, and does it well, though he has > little
one-horso mill to do1t with, but ssthings il
workin'." We can all remember when a
one-horse mill was an institution, even in
stearns couhty. The country is . little
rough for the wheat grower, but Is q splen-
did stock raising locality. FATHER west it
is smoother, but the land is rich enough
here, and crops are looking finely, except
corn, and that is fait. Rye and barley are
being cut. and oats will be ready for the
reaper this week.
I met
Down here rustieating, Allen W. King, Of
Wabash, Ind. He md his fair bride are
luxuriating on fresh raspberries and cream
regular hundred-dollar-co cream, none
Of your sloppy stuff, but the kind that you
could carry in six-quart pan on horse
back without spilling. Thai will cure him
up, (he amt well, you know, or wasn't
but the aroma Of new-mown hay and the
delicious breath Of two-year old steers, are
rejuvenatiug. e. wonder if it couldn't
be bottled What q chance here for the
manufacture. Of perfume-de-la-two-year-
old! If Ioould get bottle, would send
it to grandmother ..Bitter Sweet" to see if
she would b .'undignifed,,' enough to go
into ecstacies over it.) -
Twenty miles west Of here is the beauti-
full
LAKE LILLIAN,
Near the headwaters of the South Fork
of the Grow River, and north from there
is the much talked Of bowling wilderness,
(see st. Paul Pre.s,) where the capital amt
going to be located this year.
The work Of
GRADING =
The railroad is going on for forty or fifty
miles ahead Of the track laying, the cars
running at present to Darwin, just out Of
the woods. Litoh6eld Station will be-
reached probably in about week. That
is destined to be the county seat of Meek
or county, and the crossing Of the
ST. CLOUD AND 81. PETER RAILROAD.
We need that road to take the produce
Of this vast fertile reg ion to tho East vta
Lake Superior, for to the East or some
where else it must 60: It can never be
used up about these parts, unless the s'hun-
bred thousand more" Cinnamon from the
West and like number Of Nordsklanders
from the other direction meet here to con-
sumo it. And that may be when the Ma
tional capital is moved. i! f.{'s.
| STAGES AND HOTELS. ID.
Mr.. Butterfeld, tho Greenleaf hotel man,
is to start . daily line Of stages from
Hutchinson. eight miles south of Cedar
mills, to Litchfsld, or the cars till they
reach that place, SO that passengers can go
from Minneapolis through in one day.
Butter6eld keeps an excellent hotel. Wish
I could say as much for tho rest Of the ho-
tel men from here TO St. Cloud. They
have got IN idea that rosin is very essen
tial element in soap, but Butter6eld has
sense enough 10 buy CASTLE soap for HI
customers. 1t is Inle things that make
good hotels, but resin is not among the
things We crave. DO, landlords, get an.
other towel! Invest forty cents in new
wash dish and abjure rosin. If you CAM
get good tea at the country store, send in
to st. Cloud and get it, aud put another
tsaspoonful in the pot, ard-let me whis
per it-hsdn't you better wash the table
cloth again this week y
