OUR YOUNG PATRONS.

Be it known to all young Patrons,
and all other readers of The GRANGE
ADVANCE, that DANIEL N. SAUNDERS,
Of Hay Greek, in the County Of Good
hue, and State of Minnesota, aged elev-
en- years on the 4th day of July last,
wrote the first letter, sent to The
GRANGE ADVANCE by any boy or girl.
Let all our young friends read his letter,
and then go and do likewise. We dare
not tell the name Of the boy who wrote
the second letter, because he told us not
to do so, and we always do as we are
told about giving names. Wonder
what this boy has been doing. for which
the school ma'am whipped him. May
be he'll tell us in his next letter Let
US hear from him again. We give his
letter below.
The third letter was written by Su-
sannah Saunders. And now, boys and
B girls, here are the letters in the order
in which they were written:
HAY CREEK, Minn.,
Dec. 18th, '73.

been killed i'm the midst of his own prem

ours have previously attempted to kill
sheep in that neighborhood. In my opin-

to put away with them at once, but hav-
ing failed to do so, and seeing that they
have damaged Mr.. Marston 10 the value of
several hundred dollars, think it would
be but just that he should, to some extent,
compensate Mr.. MarstOn for his loss.

even sustain him in this modest demand.
Mr.. Martin is foreigner and has ever since
his arrival attempted to introduce good

We think tile cholera is abating little
here though it is hard to give and opin-
ion, for several times when it seemed as
though we could say that the prospect was
Frightening, new cases would suddenly
appear.
There were no deaths on Friday, and
the confidence of the people, coupled with
hope rose rapidly. Saturday, A. NJ, wrote
an account Of affairs under the inspiration
of the new hopes that had sprung up, but
on going out to make more thorough en-
quiry, found that several new cases
were reported. One of them, Mrs. Wilson
died about IL o'clock on Saturday.
There were three or four others who SEEM
ed quite low, but are now recovering.
On yesterday Sunday morning few
more cases were reported, though some of
them were not considered dangerous at all.
Mrs. Pickering grew worse through the
day, and died this morning at 3o'clock.
She was sick about twenty-four hours in
all. There are no new cases this morning
SO far as reported. .Ir o-LtA
There was a heavy thunder storm yester-
day, which, it is hoped, has purified the
atmosphere. We hope to make more
cheerful report soon. @s

There is a class Of Republican papers
which are friends of the farmers Just
enough not to hurt their party. They arc
profuse in their professions of friendship

their party but when that danger APP

Of the UDion, probably thinks it's about
the only thing he hast grabbed. Blythe
by, it is reported that Hawley worked hard
but unavaiingly for the retention Of Gen.
Henderson as revenue collector in this dis
trict The reason is not so far away that
it cannot be found. Henderson and Haw.
ley are now in the same Congressional dis
trict, and the latter knows that Henderson
can cook his political goose, so far as Con
gress is concerned, at any time he chooses.
Yet that is a matter of very little moment
to Hawley now. He has cooked his goose

And the farmers will cook both these
goosies as soon as they get a chance at the

In recent number of the Union the
editor gives us taste of pure Attic salt
in his structures on the bill To authorize the
election of women to school offices. What
has womankind done to Mr.. Haverstick 10
make him so spiteful against our sex ?
Probably any one acquainted with his
previous history could tell of the precise
Irritation, or rejection, from which sprang
the petty malice of his wounded vanity.
If he will confide 10 us the aggravating
circumstances, in addition to the deepest
commiseration, no doubt the whole fem
iuine community will bind itself in future
to respect the softness of his heart and his
still softer head
There is chivalrous reverence for the
memory Of beloved mother or sister
which protects the whole sex from the
wholesale vituperation of the commonest
man. but perhaps Mr.. Haverstick is lusus

charitable and believe so. CHA.
