On all sides we hear remarks made con-
corning the general appearance Of the
stores. The stocks Of goods brought on
this Spring are greatly superior to any
thing heretofore brought to this market
The fact is that there is class Of goods on
hand now that our merchants never before
felt that they could venture to bring
here. We are glad to know, too, that they
are not disappointed in their sales. They
are working them OF as rapidly, and prob
ably more readily, than they could hav'
done an inferior class Of goods. Unquestion.
ably, the prices are low enough to satisf!
any body.
Goods can be bought lower in Redwood
than New Ulm. We have been told this b,
New Ulm merchants and by business mel
who do not belong to either place.

A little daughter Of Era D. Post "a.
badly burned few days ago. Mr.. Pos,
had cut of some brush and told his chill.
lren II they would throw it in pile while
he Was gone to = neighbours, that they
would burn it when he came back. The
children piled the brush but were in too
great hurry to see the fire to wait fol
their Father to come and they set fire to il
themselves and the clothes Of one of them
Taught. Her cries brought her mother but
before the flames could be extinguished hel
clothing was nearly all burned and one
limb and side very badly burned. We be.
lieve she is not conside red to be in dan.
gerous condition but her wounds are very
painful.
Since writing the above we have heard
Of the death of the little child. She died
yesterday morning. 1t is thought that she
inhaled the flame, otherwise her wounds
were not sufficient to cause death. She
was about nine years of age and Mr.. Posts
oldest child.
The family have many warm friends
here who deeply sympathize with them.

nov Dams SHOULD BE CONSTR UCTED.

THE VIEWS OF WILLIAM J. MALpIYE-TrTE NEED OF
sFLF-ACTiNG sPILL-wAYs HOW AN EARTHEN
DAM MAY DE MADE MORE SECURE THAN ONE OF
MASONRY.
William j. McApine, an engineer of note,
has written letter to The albany Argus upon the con-
strncon Of dams for reservoirs After referring briefly
to the large dams which have been destroyed within
the last thirty years, Mr.. McAlpine says the subject
was earnestly discussed few years in the public
and scientific journals OF Great Britain and
at the Institution OF Engineers Of London. The
London engineers were unanimously in favor or
dams OF masonry and they expressed strong opinion
against earthen dams streams subject to sudden
floods During the discussion Mr.. McAlpine was called
upon TO give the American experience. and he stated
that the general practice to build such dams Of
earth claiming that they could be made more tight and
secure with that material than with any other. Mr..
McAlpines views published by the London en-
gineers and they contain some Of the reasons adj
vanced in OF earhen dams prove interesting
ot his time. They substantially as follows:
