Editors Of the Grange Advance:
RESPECTED s1Rs. We are having our In
dian Summer. which is, think, the pleas
antest time Of the whole year.
The farmers hive got their fall work
we'll advanced. This has been the best fall.
for the farmer for number of years. We
have scarcely had hard frost yet, but
when the "hazy days" leaves US we may
then look for rough weather.
Farming has not been very profitable
this year, owing to the small crops and
smaller prices, and I hear Of many who are
dissatisfied and ere going into some other
business, but yet think farming the best
calling for when hard times come as they
have this fall the farmer generally has
enough to eat and drink and that is about
all we may expect to get in this life As
for luxuries few will see any this winter.
Mr.. Stone has moved on his farm and
will show US some of his skill as farmer
next year; he owns one of the best farms in
this locality. :
Game is more plentiful than was antici-
pated, and the hunters gun is continually
heard at this place. One person is report
ed to have killed 16 dollars worth of ducks,
&C., in one-half day.
A wolf has been latelf cshsing chickens
to chirp here at midpfghtlhours. Who is
the onothsew VIII rid us Of this pest.
Politicians are scarce in this place.
They must have been routed by the Grang-
ers. ''No Office seekers is one of the
Granger notices and a very good one, 1
think, for who wants to see on election day
mere scramble of office seekers.

Wing Teachers Institute will be delivered

WE clip the folio wing items from the
Cannon Falls Echo of the 29th inst:
Mr.. Ralph Wilcox, of Zumbrota, died at
that village on Friday last, and was buried
on Sunday with Masonic honors.
The Congregational Church, we are in
formed, will be unoccupied one week from
next Sabbath morning and each alternate
Sabbath morning thereafter, as Mr. Rud-
docks health will not permit him to preach
in this village and ride to Douglas before
attending services there. This would be a
good opportunity for any other denomina-
tion desirous Of occupying that pulpit on
those days.
HoRsEs SroLEN.--On Thursday last, a
man giving his name as Castell, hired
team of Messrs. Lockerby & Davis, of North
field, to go to Mazeppa, as he said, but sold
it at Cresco, Iowa. AT last accounts the

cred, aud it is rumored that the man was
severely dealt with BY the citizens of Dun
das as he passed through that village on
his way to North6eld. 1t is about time
that these horse thieves were required to
take permanent residence in the State
boarding house at Saltwater Our citi-
Gems had better keep: watch Of I1eir stables

know what kind of hor6es we keep.
