A Michigan Lumberman.

A paragraph in a recent Michigan
paper has elected from the Pantiac
Gazette the following respecting the
landed wealth of citizen OF that
State: "Dr. David Ward'sgreat wealtl,
rests in his immense amount of cork
pine lands in Michigan and Wiscon.
sin, amounting to over 100000 acres,
every forty of which he has been over
himself, making careful estimate of
the number and dimensions of the
trees, and noting all the characters
tics of soil. His land was nearly all
selected from close observation years
before most people had an idea of
their ultimate value, and the very best
taken; location upon streams and ia
cilities for running the timber to mar
ket were carefully considered, so that
today he owns the finest tracts of re-
ally available and valuable cork pine
in the United States, and the most of
it. His pine lands may be summa-
rized as follows: On the Saginaw,
10000 acres on the Manistee and Au
Sauble, 10000 acres; on the Chippe-
wa, in Wisconsin, 10000 acres TO.
tai l50, 900 acres. In addition he owns
10000 acres of the very best hard
wood timbered lands for farming in
the central and northern part of the
State, besides ell his valuable proper.
ty in Oakland county, and 100000
feet of logs anoat. Placing the same
valuation upon his pine lands alone,
as other persons are selling detached
tracts in the vicinity of his, and it ag-
gregates the sum of s6,500,000, and
we may here say that that amount of
greenbacks stacked up would not OBJ
tain the deeds of his pine property
alone. The difference in pine land is
worry great, as between cork and 9TH
er qualities, and acre by acre the cork
nets more than three times as much
as any other variety" In Wisconsin
fully dozen lumbcrmen boast that if
their pire lands woro laid out into
strips mile wide they would reach
across tho State, or over two hundred
miles in length.

Editor Republican:
DEAR SIR have seen some print
cd documents, headed democratic
Convontion," calling for a convention
Of delegates TO meet hereafter at the
Court House, in Clearfeld, for tho
purpose of nominating a new sot Of
candidates, to be voted for at the Oc.
tober election.
l cannot forbear giving you my
opinion on the subject, in very few
words. Is it possible that the Democ.
racy Of our county has suffered to
such an extent, from tho bad infu-
ences around us, that we cannot make
q satisfactory nomination any more
and harmoniously stand by it? If
there was unfairness practiced or al
lowed at our Primary Election in some
townships, it cannot be helped now,
nor bettored by any such call of Con
vention. hope when you see, as |
have seen, that some of these calls are
headed by tho names of men that
never cast vote with the Democrats
nor never intend to do so, you will
SEQ by the blossom, or even by tho
bud, when you so we'll know the root
of the tree, what may be expected in
the fruit.
Now, fellow citizens, can any man
be led to believe that any good can
result from such a course, after hav.
ing been deluded so often by some of
the same menY What we can do that
will result in any good to the party,
at this late period, is TO stand shoul-
der to shoulder, more firmly than ev-
er before, in the election of our can
didates now nominated and try to rem
edy tho evils complained of between
this election and next fall, so that we
will not be found to err in the same
manner again. Unity, my friends, by
all means, and let selfish motives and
all else that can do our party no good,
bc cast into the background. Let us
all bear in mind that we have almost
lost our glorious Government, handed
down TO us by Washington, Jefferson
and Others, by being split among our
selves, until the enemies of our coun.
try rode triumphantly into power and
have nearly devastated a great por.
tion of the same.
Now, sir, you are at liberty either
to give this place in your valuable
paper, or otherwise, while l remain
your humble servant.

To the Editor Of the Grange Advance:
DEAR SIR R:-May we take the liberty to
call your attention to the fact that Col
ony is now being formed in the United
States. consisting OF Canadians, English
men, Americans, and it may be said, of all
nationalities, to remove to Manitoba?
In so doing we desire to call out from the
American press an expression of their
opinion on the subject Of American coloni-
zation.
That there lies to the North west of our
boundary line vast extent Of good land
awaiting settlement, the projectors Of the
Colony above mentioned are satisfied, both
from personal observation and unouestioned
evidence from other sources, and it occurs
to them that it is for the interests Of this
country that that territory should be set
tied by men unprejudiced towards Ameri-
cans-by men who will perpetuate in that
country the ideas Of progress, and of civil
and religious liberty that they have &C.
quired in this.
Yours Respectfully.

The Executive Committee of the Iowa
State Grange of Patrons of Husbandry
have decided to establish large reaper
and mower factory in Des Moines.
The National Grange meets in regular
annual meeting at St. Louis on the first
Wednesday in February next. It is ex-
pected that nearly all the States in the
Union will be represented at this meeting.
Many members Of the order throughou the
Union expect to witness its deliberations.
The Importance of this session to the farm
ing class cannot be over..estimated.
The committee appointed by the last
Council to prepare subjects for discu ssion
at the next meeting, met at the Office of
THE GRANGE ADVANCE, on Nov. 22nd
Present, Martin Rodman and William
Featherstone. Upon deliberation it was
not thought best to make a list of subjects,
but to select one grand leading topic for
consideration upon that occasion. The
following was selected: g In what way
can the farmers most thoroughly and effect
ually unite, to accomplish the results they
are aiming at. in correcting abuses, and
making farming as successful as other oc-
cupations." Subject to be opened by E. J.
Hodgson Of Red Wing. The meeting Of
the Council will be held at Red Wing, De-
cember 26th, next.
On account Of the State Grange being
held on the 10th, 17th and 18th of Decem-
Der, it is thought best by the Master of tho
Council Of Goodhue County, H. Bruce, to
postpone the meeting Of the Council to the
26th of December, as there would hardly
be time for those attending the State
Grange to get back in time for the meeting
Of the County Council on the 10th of De-
cember. It is very desirable that full
delegation be present at the next meeting
of the Council Each Grange is entitled to
send three delegates, and the Master of ev-
cry Grange is er o6fcio member of the
Council. Let us have full representa-
tion. Make arrangements in advance to
be sure to be present

as we'll as this class did We believe that
Prof. Curtis has hit upon the right idea
and think that the Red Wing School District
did very wise thing in adopting his sys-
TEN. Prof. Curtis, personally, is perfect
gentleman in the very best sense of that
word. Nothing could be more satisfactory
than the work done by his more advanced
normal class.
SENATOR BOUTWELL, AND HIS LECTURE.
While at the Normal School we met SEN
ator Boutwell,. The ex-Treasurer of the
United States is a man Of medium size
who looks about fifty, with the appearance
OF man Of business, moderate in speech,
and evidently desirous of making himself
agreeable. His lecture, delivered on Fri
day evening, was given to his audience in
an easy, conversational tone, lacking in
energy If in anything. He gave very in
teresting account Of the manner in which
the Treasury department was run ascribed
the panic to the borrowing Of money by
Eastern National banks on call, which
means that all loans will be due at the
same time. Showed how money at certain
seasons Of the year seeks New York, where
it is taken by stockholders upon call for
purpose Of speculation, then when the
money is needed in the West to handle the
crops, it is called for by the Western banks
hn hor rlrc -
been loaned for small rate of interest :;
these banks call in their loans all at the
same time, and if the demand be great and
continued panic and smash ensues. $50
itwasn't the grangers after ally He eopposed
either the expansion or contraction Of the
currency, showing that stability was the
most important feature of circulating 2
medium. He asserted that women made
the best clerks in the departments, that the
large balance ledger of the United States,
whose balance sheets footed up millions,
was kept by woman and he believed
that it was the true policy to employ wo-
men in these places.
He made statement Of the present sys-
tenn of civil service reform, making among
others, the very sensible remark that no
man has right to public Office; it is the
people that have right to his services.
Political service does not qualify man for
Office, nor give him any right to claim Office
He closed his lecture by reference to the
Virginius affair, reasoning against rushing
into war, saying that the sympathies Of
the American people should rather be with
CASTELAR, in his present struggle to build
up a republic in Spain, counseling patience
and forbearance. and expressing belief
that the Spanish government would make
restitution asf ar as their ability extended
The lecture was full Of thought and val
liable information, and was listened to with
close attention, but was not Of the kind t
elicit applause.

He remarked that quite Il number of the
members of his church at Plainview had
united with the Patrons of Husbandry, and
said that while it was contrary to the rules
of the church to take an oath of secrecy,
that his members claimed that it was
merely promise to keep secret the signs
and pass words of the order. such prom
ise as one man might make to another to
keep secret matters Of business, and we un-
derstood him that with that view there
could be no objection thereto. He thought
the Grange movement, properly directed,
might be of great good in elevating the
farmers, that all organizations, like all
knowledge is powerful, and if misdirected
might do great harm.
At Wabasha, we shook the Reverend
Father goodbye, feeling that We held the
hand Of a sincere. good man, loyal to hu-
manity as he is to the church he serves.

of teaching the proper use of language.
She is certainly very hne teacher and
the pupils evidently appreciate her as such.
And we will remark right here, that the
order and neatness Of the building and its
appointments seems to have taken hold of
the pupils. We do not believe that there
was whisper passed, or an act, step, or
look, in violation Of school decorum while
We were in the building. The scholars
arose in their places as they were called
upon and recited with = precision and
promptness, with gentlemanly and lady
like bearing that was certainly very pleas
ing. Upon the invitation Of
PROF. CURTIS,
Teacher of pennmanship in the Normal
Schools Of the State, we visited with him

Pennmanship, in accordance with his sys-
TEN, was being taught to class of pupils
ranging from five to eight years Of age.
They had no copies before them but were
forming the letters from ideal principles
that had been impressed upon their minds
by lessons given upon the blackboard. We
have seen exceptional cases Of pupils Of the
