Little Sarah Newton came near
drowning few days ago. With num-
Der of other children she was at play on
the steam ferry which was laying at the
levee. when, by a mis- step. she fell over
board and was barely rescued from the
the jaws of death by the timely aid of
one of the boatman. In view of the
carelessness of parents, and the reckless
ness of children around the river, it is
certainly astonishing, and cause for
congratuIation, that ere THIS more than
one home has not been darkened by the
loss of little prnttlers by drowning.

IF railroad talk is not talked ont, we
would like to make what we deem n
practical suggestion. We are of those
who believe in taking hold of just as big
things as we think we can handle, and no
bigger. Hence we say practical suggest
ions. We believe that common gauge
railroad is big thing, too big for us in
Pierce county, anyhow. Blu! we also
believe that narrow gauge railroad, al
though that is big thing, may be built
from River Falls to Prescott by the cti
zens interested; and, we believe further,
that it would be good investment in
two respects.
But first let us say few words about
running to Prescott rather than 10 Hud
son. So far the "talk" has all been to-
wards Hudson. and we have had assur-
ances that that city would lend help
ing hand. Very well, but why to Hud-
son? WAY build up St. Croix county
and neglect our own? Why send all
our wheat and other produce to Hudson
when both Prescott and Hastings are al
ways better markets?
The greatest good to the greatest num-
Der should be sought in all public enter
prses, and there are..but few Of our bust.
ness men whose interest is to connect
with Hudson rather than Prescott
Prescott is our natural shipping point,
and Prescott puts us in direct commu.
nication with every. commercial city on
the continent.
If we are to do anything we must be
united, and that we can never unite to
pull towards Hudson, we think, at least,
is settled fact. But, in proposition
10 build a road to Prescott, we see nc
reason for interposing insurmountable,
or even serious objections. In fact there
are none TO interpose.

the fourth of July.
The potato bugs in this vicinity, hay G
been yanquished, and we hear but little
complaint of them. The remedy was
found in using a certain newspaper,
printed in q neiehboring county, TO cover
one bill TO each half acre. The viru.

compared with it.
