THR DEMONSTRATING of the DISPOSE
ton made of the bill for the removal of the
State House, the Burlington Sentinel says
" The legislature was never In better humor
TO assist in carrying out such a project.
They had, for several reasons, become heart
lily disguised with Montpelier, and they also
saw in the general fitness of things that
Burlington was the proper place for the
capital of the state. Most of the members
preferred to spend the weeks of the session in
a more metropolitan community than Mont
pelier affords As they expressed it, it was,
or is, a one-horse town, and they wanted to
90 10 Burlington, where they could enjoy a
small taste Of city life, Such feeling was al
most universal and it only needed the prompt
and judicious action Of the city Of Burling
ton TO secure the capital"
When this question was up several years
ago if we correctly remember, prominent
charge against Montpelier was that it af-
forded altogether too many facilities for
" taste of city life" Now these opportu-
mites are too few. Which has changed
Montpelier or the Legislature?

ced to the States Prison. All the
destinations of crime have passed
and the sad reality of merited pun
ishment is before him, and all that
he has to comfort him in his sad af.
fiction is the fact that the parents
who watched over and cared fo1
him in his innocent helpless infancy,
do not know of his disgrace. He
looks back on his short experience
in crime and finds the only safety
is to keep out Of the way of temp
tation. More than this he has
learned not to rely wholly on his
own good resolutions, out trusting
to the grace of God he resolves to
lead a different life. We hope
that he may be able to keep all his
good resolutions.

Cranberries,

The "Berlin Cranberry which has
become so popular in the market of the
United States is raised upon the marsh
es of Wanshara County, nearly all in
the township of Aurora. About 1000
acres are more or less covered with
vines from which berries are picked.
Twice this amount is being fitted up and
set to vines. The two largest growers
Carey and Sackett, pick about three
hundred acres each.
In 1872 Carey picked tabout 10000
bushels, receiving about $4.00 per
bushel, $4,000 in all.
Sacketts crop was little less. The
last two years the crop has not exceed
ed one third the :yield Of 1872, though
some forty acres this year produced
5000 bushels. The entire crop in this
vicinity in 1872 was about 100000
bushels. The crop this year was about
25,O0O, being short on account of the
excessive drouth and heat causing the
worms to devastate extensively.
Should this winter and next summer be
favorable crop Of 10000 will be
contidentally looked for.
A great many barrels of the fruit are
annually shipped to California and the
Southern States. The reason the
berries are called Berlin Cranberries is
because they are all shipped from Ber-
lin City, being the nearest point of &C.
cess to the marshes by rail.

somewhat narrowed and their graft

Sept. 2lst, 1871. It is q better de-
scription than we feel competent of
giving: .....S~.. -.
It Is the opinion Of competent judges
that no water power of equal capacity
can easily be found, so safe, economical
and abundant as Cannon Falls and vi
cinity affords, a very brief recapitulation
of which l will make, hoping to arrest
and secure the attention really merited.
Commencing at a point one half mile
below the north eastern addition cf Can
non Falls, known as Cannon Falls City,
we 6nu a location for a dam twelve
feet in height, with solid rock bottom
and banks on which dam may be con-
structed which will defy all the rushing
waters of floods and freshits that will
ever come; and this peculiar feature of
river bed is common to all the water
power On the Cannon river in the vi
cinity Of Cannon Falls except that on
the north east boundary of Cannon
Falls, three-quarters of a mile west Of
the first named water power. This
second mill siteis now owned by Messrs.
Greggs, e. Co., on which there is SUBJ
stantial dam, eight feet high. and oc-
cupied on the left, or southern bank by
large Touring mill owned by the gen.
tlemen above named, who, by patient,
persevering effort, and grert expense,
have substantially rebuilt at point
where half the width of the river was
deepened twenty-fv feet by food sur
passing in volume of water any ever
known here, and which swept away the
large f1ovring mill built by r. H. Knox
e. Co. The right bank and half the
bed of the river is rock, presenting an
excellent mill site yet unoccupied. Fol-
lowing up the river about forty rods,
we come to the junction where the Little
Cannon River enters, on the left or
south bauk Of the Big Cannon. Fol
lowing up the Little Cannon about the
same distance we come to the beautiful
falls of the same. At this point we
find beautiful fall of sixteen feet, halt
Of which is perpendicular.
A very remarkable feature is seen
here, in the peculiar formation of the
banks at the head of the falls. The
banks are lime rock, and within sixty
or seventy feet and nearly perpendicu.
lar, but widen Immediately to perhaps
one thousand feet, as though the bed
OF the riveo above the falls had once
been a lake, and had broken through its
barriers in the rock and rushed over,
deepening it's channel to level of the
main river. This is the most natural
fitting on the head of fall to place a
dam and make lake artifcally to be
found and does not occur but very
rarely. Proceeding onward up the
river, the banks widen to at least one
half mile and holds this width for a
mile, when they narrow gradually, and
when a mile and one-fourth distant
from the fall, they narrow up to twenty
rods in width, forming the most natu.
raj channel for an artificial lake to be
found anywhere.

The Icelanders have celebrated
their national "Millenea" and after
looking back over the past thousand
years have apparently come to the
conclusion that they have been
foolish for staying 50 long, and are
now talking of going en- masse to

They sent out a commission who
have hit upon Alaska as a country
enough like Iceland to remind them

CANNON FALLS.
It's immense Water Power.

The growth of this village for the past
two or three years has been such as to
surprise allwho are not acquainted with
the natural advantages Of the place.
While visiting the village last fall, and
looking through the different mills, and
informing ourselves Of the water powers
and other natural advantages, We were
only surprised that the growth had
been 80 long delayed. Upon inquiry,
We found that there had been q cloud
ON thc titles to property until 1871,
which WAS entirely cleared up in that
year by Capt. Edward Murphy, Of
Minneapolis. and that the existence of
this cloud upon the title had been the
only thingin the way, and With its re-
moval the rapid growth had commenced.
We doubt whether there is another
town in the State for which nature has
done 90 much, and We believe that its
wonderful advantages for manufactur-
ing will at no very distant day make II
one of the most important manufactur-
ing towns in Minnesota, and those who
invest in property there will find them.
