Loas.- Drives belonging to Smith &
Mackey, Conner & Co., Clark & Mcclure,
F. G. Mayo and N. P. Clarke have reached
Little Falls on their way down the Missls-
| sippi. These drives aggregate about 49,
| 600. 900 feet and were run out of Pine
River (25 miles above Bralnerd) on the
| tributaries of which the logs were CUT
The extren.e upper Mississippi drives are
too far up to be worth while reporting on
| at present. The stage Of water is good,
| the river rising steadily, and logs are con-
tinusl'y floating by.
RAILROAD ITEMs.-On account of sick.
ness in the family Of the man who was to
have come from the East to superintend the
laying of the iron, the track has not yet
been put down to the new depot. Mr.. De
| Graft was in town this week, and hopes to
be able to secure the services of some COM
petent person to take temporary charge of
| affairs, and get the track down to Sank
River.
Workmen are now finishing off the in
side Of the new depot building.
Another lot of railroad iron arrived this
week.
CRoPs.-The reports concerning the ap-
pearance of tho crops is unvaryingly good.
Old farmers say they never saw small
grain of all kinds looking as we'll as they
do this season. The weather has been
little cool for corn. Except in the vicinity
Of Paynesville, grasshoppcrs do not aeem
to have made an appearance in this coun-
ty, and it. is hoped that even these will
take their departure before doing any Sc
rious damage.
PIANOS AND Mus1o.-Although quite a
number Of new pianos have been added to
the very considerable supply st. Cloud al
ready had, many more will yet be wanted.
We would call the attention, not only Of
our own citizens but of the people Of the
upper country generally, to the advertise
ment of Dyer Bros. & Co., St. Paul, who
will supply some Of the best pianos made,
on very reasonable terms. They will for
ward music, &c., to order, to any part Of
tho State. Do not buy before acquainting
yourself thoroughly with their stock and
prices.
1t is stated that Prof. Ira Moore, of
| the Third State Normal School OF st..
Cloud, is looking for position more con
| genial to his tastes.-Ainneapohs Democrat
This is incorrect. Prof. Moore was Of
| fered tho position Of Superintendent Of
Schools in St. Paul, but declined it in or
| der to remain with the St. Cloud Normal
School.
