newspapers above St. Paul, recently cele-
brated its seventeenth anniversary by

one OF the most attractive weekly papers

prosperity.

MORRISON CoUNTY.-Mr. A. MCGEE, of
Two Rivers, gives us the following report
Of the Morrison County Republican Con-
vention, held last Saturday. The delegates
to the Congressional Convention are Jona-
than Taylor and jeremiah Root; instructed
for King. VIM. Pedley is the delegate to
the State Convention. G. w. Harvey,
John Dockin, John Shay and --
were elected to attend the District Conven-
ton to be held at Sank Rapids, with instruc-
tons to support G. A. Ruffee for Represen-
tative. 1t Is charged by the Averin men

and another Convention is talked of.
WoMAN's R1GHTs.-A gentleman of this
city who was travelling in Otter Tail county
about ten days ago, saw, as he was ap-
preaching the Leaf Mountains, a woman
padding along in the road some distance
ahead of him-barefooted and bareheaded,
witha pair of shoes in one hand and ham,
mer in the other. Presently she stopped
beside large tree near the roadside, and
drawing from her pocket apaper proceeded
to tack itup. This paper provedto be c.n
for caucus at the Mountain House, which
this woman had walked several miles to
post. She could speak only two words of
Engish-"AverilP' and "King"-from
which it was evident that she knew some
thing about the 'red-hot' politics of Otter
Tail county. If there is any chivalry or
gratitude in that county, this woman will
be elected a delegate to the Congressional
Convention and allowed to go uninstructed.

Young grasshoppers have made their
appearance at Detroit and other places in
the upper country. It is believed they
have come from the eggs left by the "old

tie them, without doubt.
