EDITOR JoURNAL.--As the board of
Education, for pecuniary reasons, thought
best not to have fallVerm of SCHOOL, pri-
vate school will begin to-day, under the
tuition of Miss Eliza 8. Talcott. 1t is re-
ported that Miss Ella Woodwork will be-
gin private school to-day, for the primary
classes, both to continue eight at ten weeks.
1t is supposed the winter term of four
months will begin about the middle of No
vember, tho upper room to be in charge of
Mr.. Fl. "A. Bickforl, of Otter Tail; the
teacher for the lower rooll not vet being
engaged,
MORE BIOLOGICAL EGGS.
Mrs. Bailey found snake in an egg a
few days ago, which was fully six inches
long and as large as a lead pencil (the
snake, not the egg); and since then she
found in an egg something that very much
resembled dogs head (some said horses
head), in which the nostrils and eyes
were plainly marked. The thing was II
inches long, inch wide and 4 of an inch
thick, and seemed to be mostly of the con-
sistence of coagulated albumen, with por-
tons of it like gristle, and when cut in sill
ces seemed to be in folds. What is the
trouble, and what would these things be if
they were allowed to mature?
POLITICAL.
The Republican Caucus on Friday even
ing resulted in the election Of C. r. Beal, c..
R. Benson and H. B. Morrison, as delegates,
to the Republican County Convention to be
held at Buffalo on the second day of Sept
ember. Henry owns blooded bull, and as
"a fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind"
he will 60 for King, while the other two
will favor Averill.
IN A FLETCHER1AN FIX.
Some unprincipled villain stole Charlie
Beaps thermometer week or so ago. and
he don't know any thing about the wealth
er, of late. He always has been accustom-
ed to look at the thermometer to know
when to put on his undershirts, but now
it's gone, and he is liable to freeze before
he knows it.
A large-hearted individual sent Sine
Stevens
APA1R oT;wooDEN SHOES,
but though he needed q pair, these were
rather large, and 60 he rented one to Mr..
Ramsey for COW stable, the other is for
sale. Slime and Winslow are about to stop
the diurnal peregrinations of their meatcart,
and will open shop in Blocker's warehouse,
in the front part; the back room is already
occupied by D. D. Sargent, as harness
shop, while 'tHon. A. c. Powers uses the
upper story as paint shop.
Mr.. M. R. Berry, sketcher for
ANDREAs STATE ATLAS,
is in town, and will probably finish his
sketching to-day. There are very few who
realize what an important work that Atlas
is going to be.
THE BEECHER MIDDLE
is not taking as much attention as it did a
short time ago. The readers of The
JOURNAL seems to be well satisfied with
the light in which it shows the subject up.
But though the lend is not yet," yet the
public mind seems to be very we'll settled,
and satisfactorily settled for the friends Of
Beecher gre satisfied that he is right, and
his enemies are equally we'll satisfied that
he is not right.
YIELD AND PRICES OF GRAIN.
Wheat is selling to-day above themarket,
No. l being 75 cts., 80 that those who want
to sell nov had bstter hurry up, as it is
sure to be lower. Now oats come in
slowly, IS but tsv have been threshed as
yet What in this vicinity yields from IL

several days, till rain storm caused them

lions for next seasons business.
