Taking a short drive into the country
The fore part of this week, we were sur
prised at the evidences of prosperity ev-
erywhere visible among the farmers
Instead of finding the ti.lcrs of the soil
with long faces and their farms in stdtu
QUO, cheerful countenancas and substan-
tiaI farm improvements were TO be re-
marked everywhere. In fact scarcely a
hnbiialion was passed without indications
Of new fences or outbuildings. Many
Of the farmers, in spite of the numer
GUS difficulties induced by the hard times
are breaking up new lands and preparing
for more extensive operations in the fu-
ture. Were it not that 80 much of the
ney received for the last crop has had
to go out of the country in payment Of
debts for machinery, our yeomen TO day
would be well enough of pecuniarily.
-<am,prayer IS for good crop aud fair
prices this fall. In such AZ event, the
..bone aud sinew Of our county will
regain posisioo fairly aul squarely on
their "taps."

The Strss,e Question.

Our 4" Root Hog or Die article lnst
week seems to have been misunderstood
in some quarters,-some of our good
citizens infernng that we counciled re-
sistance to the ordinance, right or wrong
Such an inference is incorrect, as will
be seen by second glance at the arti-
Gle. We only claimed that the Marshal
lad no authority TO net under the ordi-
nance at that time, as IL had not Leen
published fifteen days. We did not dis
pute that the ordinance would have full
force after the fifteen days publication
required by tie charter had elapsed
The act is valid now, ami our boys can
gobb!e nll porcine maurauders without
fear Of overstcppiug the limits Of the

Obituary..

Since the repeal of the dog law the
canine population Of our city has been
gradually on the increase. The dog
business seems to have been lively
And Prescott dogs are peculiar animals.
Like some humans. they are c'annish
and now days they hunt in squads and
platoons. At almost any hour of the
day small brigade of the lovely crea
lures may be seen eneamped in some
prominent position on street or corner of
tho city, with their skirmishers deploy ed
from the main body beating up game.
o, they are so fine, are those ogs!--
But frightfGl epidemic broke out in
their ranks the other evening. A num-
Der of them became weary Of this trans
itory existence--tired of the endless
strife and cares of dog life--sick, very
sick, al stomach--and so concluded TO
rid themselves of it oil by simply ceas
ing TO breath. The plan worked to per,
lection. When the sable curtains oil
night were rolled away and the light OF
new born day gladdened the earth, out
there on the street, stark. stiff and cold.
were found fifteen corpses OF those mar
tyred purps. Without ga drum or a
funeral note" they were borne away to
their last resting place by Marshal Leav
lit, and planted urceremoniously in
mother earth.
May the peace they sought in this
world be dealt out to them generously in
the happy hunting grounds Of dog heav.
en-. And may some good Samaritan assist
an unlimited number of the remaining
host of worthless ours in our city TO join
those that have gone the way ofali file sh

EnfanEicide.

Las, Saturda y while some parties were
fishing in bayou on the Minnesota side of
the river opposite this city, they discover
ed The body of a female infant in the
wafer. From appearances, the child
could not have been more than a week
old when il diel or was murdered. and
the decomposition Of the body indicated
that it had been in tho water nearly a
week.
The proper authorities Of our city were
notified of the discovery but declined to
act, claiming tLst as tho body was on the
Minnesota side il was out of their jaris-
die,ion, The Hastings authorities were
notified, bus at last accounts the body
had Tot been disturbed.
Is it such an exceedingly delicate point
in law that the officials Of either city will
allow dead human body to rot above
ground before they can decide whose
duty ii is to bury I'll Away with such

to be difference ia opinion in regard TO
the time that the Law fixes for the Coun

Twill refer them TO Chapter $50, Section
9, General Laws of 1868, which reads as
follows:
The County Beard Of Supervisors shall
meet again on the third Monday in June
in each year. At such meeting they
shall hear and deter line upon any com

Of any town or city in their county who
shall consider their town or city unjustly

We have received q letter from Rock
Elm, n week behind time added to which
we accidentally mislaid it making il out
of date now; however the following ex-
tract from it is not out of date and We
present it for our readers 10 reflect upon
dnring the pending campaign. Il is sig
niicnnt and to tue point:
4" People in this section are watching with
gOOG deal Of interest The actions of Con-
gress on the extension of the Hhd grant, and
thinking how well the Hon. o. S. Powell
kept his pledge made in open Convention to
the effect that lie would vote tor no memorial
10 Congress TO extend the land grant unless
such memorial contained provision protec-
ting the actual settler on said lands. How
well he kept his pledge is we'll known, even
in the rural town of RI Paso, Spring Lake
Gilman and Rock Elm. "-EUsloorth Herald
Exactly Significant and 10 the
point" Watching with good ceal of
interest" DC, &c. We should think so !!
II the above correspondent is so deep
ly interested as be claims, he ought TO
know that there is no memorial before
Congress asking for the lie granting of
any railroad lands whatever in Ell Paso,
Spring Lake, Gilman, Rock Elm-or
Pierce county. Our last legislature
addressed memorial 10 Congress pray
ing for the extension .: the St. Croix d.
Superior land grant, but not an acre Of
those lands is located in Fierce county,
and but a very small portion in 81: Croix
county--most of them being farther
north. The bill re granting the lands
has passed The Senate. and is now Pen.
ding in the House.
The writer Of the above paragraph
has probably confounded the lnnds OF
tue West Wisconsin road with thu laud
grant OF the St. Croix Il Superior rail
road. A bill was before the last legisla-
ture, exempting the lands Of the West
Wisconsin road from taxation for ten
years. Through The influence of Hons.
O.S Powell and E. H. Ives, those
lands located in Pierce county were OK
Guided from its provisions and the bill
passed., but does not take effect until
1872. After 1872 our railroad lands
will be taxed the same as ether EOaF
tate.
So far as Hon. o. s. Powell having
broken pledge "made in open conven-
tion," as must lie inferred from the
above paragraph. Wa are confident he
has done no such thing. No measure
for the protection of the settlers on those
lands came before the legislature, except
the one we have mentioned; and that
body had no further jurisdiction in the
matter any way.
We cannot willingly believe that the
Herald editor would knowingly publish SC
gross n mis- statement as the above; and
if IT was done unwittingly, we think his
seuss of justice and right will prompt
Lin to correction of the error.
