"EARLY last week, Mr.. Asher, who
was shot by Frank Shenton, few
weeks ago, at the instigation of his
mother; and Mr. Taylor, as we learn, of
kasson, came to this city for the pur-
pose Of getting Mrs. Asher-formerly
Mrs Shenton-out Of Jail on bail. The
parties were the bearers Of the necessary
legal papers from Judge Lord, but the
friends of Mrs. Asher forgetting that
wine is II mocker, &c., yielded to the
sparkling and alluring temptations Of
Rochester, and became ingloriously
drunk before completing the object of
their mission hither. From the loose
manner Of doing usiness-induced by
their indulgence and conviviality, the
papers were lost, and the friends return
ed to their homes, leaving the object
of their unsel6sh endeavors in durance
vile. All Of which shows that getting
drunk is one thing and tending to busi-
ness * another thing, and as COM
poul.>s they don't make first class pre-
cription. '-Rochestcr Post.

than lyself: hut It has been my privilege

Thanked the Grange for the harmo-
ny that had been maintained, and added
the foliowinE remarks which all Patrons
should read ana remembers:
We propose to the outside world to treat
each other us brothers and sisters: may
our deeds confirm our words. Discor.l and
strife will ruin the most prosperous Grange.
If any Of us have any personal feelings
toward any member Of our Order may they
be left outside OF the Grange
After installation. the new officers
spread the tables with rich feast.
Following the supper, were tell
ing toasts and happy, we'll timed respon-
ses From the toasts proposed we Sc.
lcct the following:
Our National Grange may their
councils be endowed with wisdom.
Our fair daug ghters: may they never
| frown if they have to mop up the tracks
made by farmers muddy boots
Our young men: may they never
slight the girl with a ho,nespun dress. "a

Our brethren throughout the world,
that are sick or afflicted tonight: may God
in whom we trust, bless them, we leave
them in His care, for g He doeth all things

and in silence.
Tnc Press, independent, and l.cor-
ruptlbte: that exposes corruption in all
parties /; that shields no criminal becau.c L
wealthy: that upholds no monopoly because
powerful: that recognizes and sustains the
rights Of the most humble individual or
class that maintains the right of the farm
| er as producer, to have voice in the set
ting Of values on his own productions.
May such press, including the Farmers
Union, the GRANGE ADVANCE, the Janesvilze
Argus, and the Waseco Nescs, be the press
of our choice, and may their proprietors
reap rich pecuniary reward for their
faithful services in this war for equal
rights, and still richer reward in the
gratitude of their appreciative countrymen
and patrons.
| The agricultural world known as
the outside Of the Grange; with us in heart
as they are identical in interest, may they
soon see it for their interest to join US in =
body, and give us their moral and material
support in this glorious cause, but if any
have Conscientious scruples against the
shadow of secrecy, may they unite their
forces in Sc Farmers Clubs" and Farmers
State Associations; as in our sister State of
Illinois, and in this form accept our hearty
good wishes and cooperation in the great,
vital, and paramount duty of the American
people, the breaking down of monopolies,
and the restoring of honesty and economy in
every branch of the civil government, from
the President to Postmaster.

Freedom Grange.

We condense the following from a
very interesting account of the installa-
ton of officers and festival of the above
named Grange, found in the Janosvi]le
Argus, an excellent wide-awake urauyc
county paper Of Waseca county,
The installation was public and was
we'll attended by Patrons and friends.
The ceremonies commenced at an early
hour, and were impressive and listened
to with the closest attention.
Worthy Master Samuel Hodgkins,
upon receiving the tokens Of his Office,
made neat and appropriate speech in
which he said:
WORTHY MASTER CRANE In accepting
from your hand this gavel, bylaws Of our
Grange, and constitution of our Order, I do
not accept it as one who pretends to know
all, but come among you one Of the most
willing to learn, fully comprehending the
great and responsible duties that devolve
upon me as Master of your Grange
4 Il Although our work may be
arduous, requiring much hard work, study
and forethought, and we may be called
upon to make many sacrifices -; whatever
duty we are called upon to perform, let US
do it with cheerfulness, and a will, that
will show Freedom Grange is q Grange of
deeds, and not Of words. Never can we ex-
pect to induce those Of our neighbors and
friends, that have assembled here with US
tonight, to become members of our Order,
and co-workers in our cause, by holding
out to them the hand Of fattery; but we
must hold out to them the hand of truth,
fidelity and hope, and show them by our
example that we are united as band of
brothers and sisters, and by our untiring
fidelity, and persevering economy, that wo
are trying as farming community Of the
Northwest, to better our condition. Then,
and not till then, may We expect that they
will join in and help us. For seven and =
half long years did our forefathers struggle,
and struggle desperately, to throw off the
oppressive yoke of Great Britain. What
would be their joy, what their delight,
could they look to-day upon this great Re-
public? Seven years ago this winter, the
North Star Grange Of St. Paul, was first
organized what must be their surprise to
see ell, or nearly all the farmers of the
United States emulating their example l?
The Oranges have been seven years at
their work and ere another six months
nave passed, We will begin to reap the ben
ents OF their labors. But we must be pa
t1ent, the right will be sure to win at last.
we could never expect to succeed in our
enterprise ii We held our councils with open
doors, and admitted our enemies as we'll rs
our friends; therefore We hold our assem-
ohes win our doors shut, and carefully
guarded to keep out enemies, but to every
farmer OF good character, we care not what
his nationality may be, if he earns his
bread oy the sweat Of his brow, our doors
will be thrown open wide, and We will bid
MIN welcome, WELCOME to our Grange.

There are seven persons now
lying at the point of death in
this city from having eaten
fresh pork with tricllina in it.
About two weeks ago Mrs.
Henry Trainer, a widow, had
two hogs killed for family use,
which she had fatted by the
slops from the house. AS soon
as the hogs were killed and
cut up she began to use the
meat, ana a few days thereafter
Mrs. Trainer and one OF her
children took sick from what
appeared typhoid fever. Sew
eral ladies OF the neighborhood
visited Mrs. Trainer to nurse
her, and among them Mrs.
Benter, wife OF the German
Methodist minister, who, TO-
eether with her two children,
ate OF the meat.
Ia a few days they were
taken sick with the same symp-
toms attending Mrs. Trainers
case which at once attracted
the attention OF the attending
physician, who suspected the
cause, and on examining the
meat he detected the presence
of trichIna in large quantities
The meat was found to be lit
orally alive with them. Mrs
Trainer and three children ans
Mrs. Danter and her two chi.
