at his room. He contemplates returning
to New York as soon as his health will
permit him to travel.
A Communication from " Old Clay
Pipe" came too late for insertion. He
directed bis letter to Ellsworth instead OF
Prescott-hence the delay.
We learn, with regret, of the severe
illness of Mr.. H. N. BAscoM, of Clifton.
He is troubled with some affection of the
lungs. We hope to chronicle his recov-
cry before many days.
Tho number of mortgages recorded
in Pierce county for year ending Dec.

ton mentioned $4,000. Least con.
sideration mentioned $4,000.

charge of ALBERT CnILDs, who will con-
tinue the business during Mr.. SMITHS
absence.

the contract for building the river road
from Hastings to Lake City is TO be con-
summated this week and work to be

happy thought that We are not to be shut
up another winter"
We observe that question is being
raised at Ellsworth relative to the pro.
priety of importing a Justice of the
Peace from Red Wing to Ellsworth
While we favor immigration to con-
