DuELLlNa.-The Georgia papers are dis
cussing the feasibility and the possibility or
probability Of suppressiug duelIing by put
ting a heavy tax upon pistols. This Is a
foolish discussion. We have known TOO
many ducls to be fought with borrowed pls'
tolls to entertain any hope that duelling can
be ended by the means indicated. Perhaps
a tax of five hundred dollars for the prlyi-
lcge of fighting a duel might have a repres'
sing effect upon the custom. Even this,
however, would fail in some cases; for we
have to confess that we have heard of duels
being fought by men who had not visible
estates which would command that small
amount of money in market overt.
After all, public opinion is the only thing
that will put an end to duelling. In COM
munities where duelling is in vogue, duel
lists are always popular. Let duellists cease
to be popular in any given community, and
duclling will no longer be in vogue. And
wherever duellists are popular, there law
yerS, merchants, %clergymcn, editors, and even
bootblacks, are responsible, each class i'll its
degree, for the continuance of u custom
which u high state of civilization may Wink
at, but Which Christianity lrowns upon.

ult., at dinner over which the sisters Of
that Grange may we'll feel proud The oc
casion was one Of social intercourse and
enjoyment, which will long be remembered
with pleasure by those who were there
We are satisfied that the social feature Of
the Grange movement is among the highest
and noblest of its benefits, and this alone
would be reason enough for making the
Order permanent in the land, if it offered
no other advantage whatever.

learned, are doing business Of about 500

amount of business.

They saw, principally, bass wood, maple,
ash, oak, and rock elm. They do custom
work exclusively, charging so much in
cash, or taking certain proportion Of the
lumber. They expect to put their mill ito
better running shape in short time, so
that they can manufacture 500, 600 feet next
year. Aside from this, they have manu-
factured from six to eight hundred dollars
worth Of bedsteads annually.
About l60 rods above this mill is a new
mill built by Mr.. A. A. Fisher. Mr.. FISH
or intends to manufacture farm implements,
such as cultivators, shovel plows, seeders,
&c., in connection with the saw mill busi-
ness. This is good thing, and we sincere
~ hope he may succeed. He has already
made several threshing machines which
are said to work equal to any manufactured
in the east. He made his own wheel for
the mill out of wood and steel obtained
from old mould boards Of plows, SC. It is
much like the turbine, and works upon the
same principle. It is q perfect success.

FafrpOint Grange.

We had the pleasure of visiting, on last
Saturday evening, Fairpoint Grange P. of
H. This is one Of the oldest oranges in
this county, and we believe the only one
that struggled right through from its or
ganization, in 1868, to the present time
without any break. The Grange now num-
bers between eighty and ninety members,
and was never in more healthy and grow
ing condition than at present. 1t is a
model grange. \ great deal of the success
OF this Grange is due to the faithfulness of
their excellent Master, Mr.. Elijah Higgins,
who travels from Concord, five miles dis
tant, every week to preside, never yet nav
ing failed to be present at a meeting. He
is quite an elderly gentleman, with face
beaming with animation, geniality and in
telligence; has kindly bearing and patri-
archial appearance, if we may be allowed
the expression. He understands the Pat
ron's manual and feels deeply the precious
truths. it teaches. His knowledge of the
manual makes him easy and free in its use,
and enables him to make the ceremony Of
initiation impressive and instructive. In q
word he is = model master, and we need
more just such. There is no more beauti-
1al manual or ritual in existence than that
OF the Patrons, nor one containing more
sublime or mere Beautiful truths, and it is
sscrilege to have this ritual murdered by
Dao reading and unintelligent mumhling.

NIT 1t to memory, make it's noble truths 4

work out in your lives. " ..s

D@ On looking THROUGH the var;ous

~ On looking through the various
stocks Of goods kept in Red Wing we find
an endless variety, and safely say, that tho
stocks and stores Of Red Wing. are net
second to any in this or any other State.
In visiting the various institutions we are
greatly surprised to find such an endless
variety in any one store as we find at
A. J. CLARK'S new store corner Of Bush
and Third streets. It would seem almest
impossible to call for anything in the Drug,
Grocery, or Fancy Goods line and be dis,
appointed in not getting it. We also found
Dr.. G. W. Boutwell, in charge Of the Medi-
cal department, with everything on hand.
to attend to the wants Of such as are in need
Of medicines. Wecsn safely say there il No
more complete store in the State than this.
It will pay you to 60 and examine goods
are sold very reasonable.
