MRs. O'DoNoyAS RossA.--There are few
women of the present day of her youth,

greater admiration and enlsts purer or

life. This crushing blow enlisted in her be.

Of this county make special effort to attend,

this matter in earnest and try to induce, il pos

The Anoka Union advocates the es-
Enlistment in that county of a stock and
produce fair, similar to fairs now held
monthly or semi-monthly in several coun2
ties of the State, for the sale and exchange
of horses, cattle, sheep and all kinds of
farm produce. The Union thus enumer-
ates some of the advantages to be derived
from such fair:
At a given day duly advertised the
farmers and traders in farm produce can
meet at given place and exchange their
products, Or purchase without the incon-
venience and trouble of hunting up their
customers. If man wants to buy a
horse, or yoke of cattle, or COWS, or a
certain breed of sheep, pigs or chickens,
or certain kind of seed corn, seed wheat,
rye, or barley, or the more common pro-
ducts of butter, eggs, cheese, potatoes, &c.,
he need but to attend these stated fairs to
End them. On the other hand, if farmers
have anything for sale and it is known
that at acertain place and time purchasers
will appear to examine and buy, their
cheapest method of finding sale for their
produce is to meet them at such places.
We should say it would not be a bad
idea to hold such a series of Fairs in
Hennelin in, and in every other county in
the State. $50

Mr.. Mason, member of the Wisconsin
legislature, proposes to have the Constitu-
ton of the United States and of the State,
taught in the public schools. The propo-
sition is good one. There is shocking
ignorance in regard to the federal and
State Constitutions among the present
generation. Even leading politicians
know little or nothing concerning them.
We presume that not more than one per-
son in hundred has ever read the federal
constitution entire. Now every citizen of
the Republic should read and fully under
stand the organic law under which he
lives, and which is the source of his civil
and religious liberties. We should like to
see law passed in Minnesota making the
Constitution Of the United States and that
of our State daily text book in our COM
mon schools. Educate the rising genera
ton in the fundamental law, and we shall
not witness, among the coming legislators,
such vast amount Of wretched, bungling,
nonsensical legislatioH.-Erch.

Tom Atherton of the Mitchell Press, q
srump of the Iowa press-gang, has been
hung in efigy by u few boys melted by a
Sunday School Saint (?) fer whom, Tom
has recently shcwn pretty frequent critical
severity. We believe that newspapers in
general way, are too apt to attempt the
regulation of all classes of public and
private affairs, but we can scarcely
imagine that the Press would publish an
article about S. s. Supt. or "Grecian
Bead' that would justify SO coarse and
cowaraly revenge. 1t is reported that
"the ladies of West Mitchell had some
thing to do with 'Tomuel.' There may
have been females at the bottom of it, but
if so, they lost the names Of ladies when
they engaged in such conduct.

nervous prostration, being unable to en-
dure hardly any physical or mental labor
without great fatigue. But ! had not used
the Bitters week before I was conscious
of their benefiting me as nothing else had,
and | have continued to gain very rapidly
since, till now / am able to be about nv
usual Household duties. 70 all who are
afflicted with general debility ] can testify
from experience that the Bitters are inya-
luable. Yours, truly,

We were just about to inquire of Bro
Their Richardson what had become of his
Times, when we received fresh No. as
spicy as usual. One of our best exchanges
is the "McGregor Times" and what We
wonder at is why the editor of the Times,
or the Keokuk Constitution, or some other
man with brains, does not go to Des
Moines, and give us a paper from the
capitol that every man in the party is not
ashamed Of. The great want of the De-
mocracy of Iowa is leading newspaper
at the capitol. With it we should make
some Roadway in the State. much more
than we can without it.-Lyons Adcocatc.
Thank you DuRL1N for the good words.

starts toward good papers on our exchange
