By 4 TRENTONITE.

RESPECTED SIRS Sine weather Is very
warm, being 10 degrees above zero, and
| even it is most too warm to work, al
though we had a very nice rain this fore
noon, but this afternoon has been very sui
try. Indeed. as l write these lines in
the cool Of the evening. as it ought to be,
, it is so warm that | have to stop and fan
for there is TO breeze. I have heard sever
al persons that live in this vicinity say
that they had q notion, and a strong one
too Of going south. for it was not warm
enough here, gracious, would like to feel
like those very persons at this moment.
The river is coming up rapidly, and in a
short time il it continues, we will have to
vaca5e the island road. Capt. Eames is
hauling slaves from Ellsworth to Red Wing
through this place. Eugene Bachelor
boats them across the water from his shop.
s: Gene is handy fellow with boat and
will do well. The Independent Nine 3. 3.
Club, Of this place. played against the
White Star Club last Saturday the victo-
ry was honorably gained by the
White Stars. Trenton will have no cele-
bration of her own this fourth, therefore,
ye Trentoners will see the sights else
where, the largest number as far as l can
learn, are going to Esdaile. The bridge
between Hartland and Trenton is just fin
!saed, and those who intend to travel that
road will be pleased to learn this. Our
strawberry season is at its height, and ev-
cry one is enjoying these berries as one of
Gods best fruits. Our crops are looking
we'll, and notwithstanding the late spring,
aud the drough1s the wheat is pretty we'll
forward for this time Of the year.
BLOOMING GROVE, WAsEcA Co., MIMI,
June IL, 1874.
Messrs. Editors Of TIE Grange Advaace:
The article of J. r. Davison's, published
IN the ADVANCE in your issue Of May Goth,
exhibits the most profound nonsense Of any
article that | ever saw come from the pen of
any man that makes any pretentions to COM
mon intelligence, and were it not that he
has switched off on to another track and in
troduceI subjects outside Of, and foreign to
the subject under consideration, and inten-
tional!y attempted to make false impress
sion, | should take no notice of it. But as
he has willfuily and malicicusly carried a
wrong idea. would in justice to myself
make some corrections. (And l would
here state that if J. 4. Dawson wishes to
make the ADVANCE a medium of commune
cation, it seems to me that it would be for
his credit to subscribe for it rather than use
his influence against subscription to it as he
has done.)
He says that a friend told him, "don't
you know Ira wants to 60 to the Legisla-
ture That may be 50 and may not be-
| believe he has one confidential friend in
town. But should not have supposed that
he would have introduced that subject, for
| know that he knows that I know who
wants to 60 to the Legislature. This looks
very much like the jealousy of a sore-head
politician.
The fact is. he has been trying to get to
the Legislature for number Of years. He
has wriggled and twisted every way that
his wits could invent to get the nomination,
but in every instance has been defeated and
used up into chinking. And have more
confidence in the ability and iudg-
ment Of the people of this county than to
believe that they ever will send J. R. Davi-
son or myself to the Legislature.
will pass over the post Office question
and notice briefly his third proposition,
which is the controversy with Brothers
Parsons and Woodruff. Dawson knows
very we'll. Gf he knows anything about
it) that the controversy had no reference to
the Deputyship, and It appears to me that
when man resorts to falsehood lie is hard
pressed for an argument.
Now, Jimmy, why don't you come down
to solid business? Your web Of sarcasm
is too thin to cover your nakedness. Don't
indulge any longer in the delusive hope
| that you ever will fill q "niche" in the
Legislature, but seek consolation in the
honest and faithful discharge of the duties
Of the Office you now occupy, and not as
pire to position the Creator never design
ed you to occupy. Be honest with the peo.
pie, and If you are a real good boy and tell
the truth in the future, we will, (notwith-
standing you are said to openly and persis-
tently Violate the Postal Law), in the
course Of a few years, presume, elect you
to the Office of Path Master in road district
