RATHER D1scsURAG1Na.-A few weeks

went to Sabbath School for the irst time.
Returning home, his father inquired how
he was pleased. Il don't like it at oil.
and wont go again - was the little fell
lows indignant response. "What was the
matter, my son p "Why, nobody at all took

til had been there for nearly fifteen min
utes, when couple of boys came IN and
after passing me, looked around and one
boy aaid, what little cuss is that sitting
there? ? l shan't 60 again !" Who could
blame him i?
Road CAsE.-A peculiar case came up
in the District Court yesterday, being, we
understand, the first of that kind ever
brought up in this court. 1t appears that
Judge McKelvy appointed Commissioners
to lay out road from Long Prairie, Todd
county, by way Of Melrose to Paynesville,
in this county. Having completed the
work, the Commissioners, through Mr..
Aug. Lindburgh, their Chairman, made
their report to the Court, and the matter
was argued last evening from seven until
ten o'clock. The road had been located
over land belonging 10 Sank Centre parties,
and Mr.. Miner, their attorney, protested
against its location, raising the object
ions that the law was unconstitutional
that the petition was illegal, not having
been post ed according to law in the most
public places, (Melrose mill not being con-
sidered public place. that the road was
not called for through two counties, only
through one and part of the other that
the Judge was not empowered by law to
appoint Commissioners and that the
Commissioners themselves had not legally
qualified.
The two County attorneys sustained the
road, and Mr.. Lindburgh had secured J.
V. Brewer, Esq, in defense of the action
Of the Commissioners. The case was ad-
journed until to-day, and will come up
again for hearing at one O'Clock.
