ests are full of pigeons, deer and
bear, the lakes of fish and the prairies
swarm with covies of prairie chick
ems that have gone ''unfiushed''
since the days of Noah.
At Fargo, on the west bank Of
the Red River, the train draws up
IN front of another of those Head
quarters, Hotels, and we step out
upon It's broad piazza, and through
spacious, airy halls to our room,
made as comfortable for US as could
be at any metropolitan center 1000
miles away. From the upper piaz-
"a and the observatory above, our
eyes reach out upon the expanse of
prairie-to the north and east, skirt
ed by the heavy growth Of timber
that marks the sinuous course of the
Red River-to the south, the vision
is unobstructed, except by the
sparsely scattered pioneers cabins !;
and to the west, the straight, unde-
waiting track of the road points
with unerring finger "whither the
star Of empire takes its course.
Please say to the people "down
east" that to the sportsman, to the
overworked in delving for sixpences,
to the adventurer, for chiIdhood's
past-time, or manhood's sterner
joys, there can be no more favor
able retreat from the warfare of
life than out alone, and upon the
n. p. r. r, with headquarters at
Brainerd. We shall expect you to
form one of our company to this re-
gion of newness and delight, at a
future time.

THE MONEY MARKET.-'The New
Y York Times of Oct. ii thus closes a
lengthy review of the money mar
ket: The condition Of the money
market, then, is one Of sluggishncss,
because there is in no line Of bust
ness any justification of extensive
use of money. We may repeat,
what we have already taken fire.
quent occasion to point out, that
this condition of things is essentially
a healthy and promising one. The
process that is going on must of it
self work out a change for the bet
ter. Production continues at the
normal rate, and with the check
given to consumption a surplus is
constantly accumulating. Sooner
or later, this surplus will find its
market, and with that business will
revive. Meantime, the business
men Of the country are pursuing a
course which will enable them, at
the proper time to resume opera
tions vigorously and with profit"

ILLING FISH-Fishprmen

KILLING FISH. Fishermen ir
some parts of Europe and in this
country Kill fish with a knife or blud
geon as soon as they are taken from
the water, because fish thus killed
are found to be better than those
which have long gasped and strug
gIed before dying. The Dutch fol
example, destroy life by making 4
longitudinal incision under the tai
with sharp instrument. On the
Rhine they kill salmon by thrustine
steel needle into their heads
Fish may be easily killed by strIk
ing them quick, sharp blow with
small stick on the back of the head
just behind the eyes, or by taking
them by the tail and striking the
head quickly against any hard sub
stance.

! Tor 1t is only about now that rail
way companies of this .State begin
| to suffer In common with the gen
tral business of the country. There
are many things in connection with
the railroads that the Potter law
/ does not affect.
It does not reduce the tariff for
transportation of merchandise with
in the state below that of June.
1873; 1t does not affect through
freight of any kind, or through trav-
el; neither the revenue from tele-
graph, news and notion dealers !;
fneIthcr the mail service nor express
service, nor stock yards or other
rents are affected by it. The eIeva-
tor rents alone were S3l4,OOO.
What is the remedy for these things?
1t Is simple enough. We must
have a greater division of labor, a
diversity OF products, and a concen-
tratlon of the farming interests.
Rings and railroad companies
must be brought under ,he restraint
of wholesome laws. We must open
our water courses, and where broad
guage railroads are not practical.
build narrow guage, which have
been found to~answer every purpose
and costing onl y about halt as much.
Cheap transportation and increased
facilities add to the value of all
our farms and timber lands, to the
value Of all our products, and pro
mote the growth Of our villages and
cities. The interests Of the people
and bond holders are mutual. Hon
est capital, though timid and SEN
Sitive, 50 far from being frightened
from the State, will seek investment
where law and order prevail. IT'S
said by the companies that the Pot
ter law is crude in many of its pro-
visions and will work great inius-
tice. Now If this proves true on ac-
tual trial, the people, | trust, will so
amend It as to mete out equal and
exact justice to all the varied in
duStrles Of the State, for we seek no
war Win firends and VIII suplRIt To
no wrongs from enemies. The
Governor paid high compliment to
the Northern Fair, to the people
thatmakei, and the country that pro-
duces it, and closed by saying that
if the people are only loyal to them
selves, all viii come out right.

THE NORTHERN PA CLFIC REGION
We take the following scattering
extracts from lengthy and hand
somely written letter which appears
in the Monroe (Mich.) Conanaercia1.
The letter was written by Mr.. S.
Martindale, who spent a week or
two along the line visiting with his
old time friend and class mate,
Thos. 2. Cantwell, Esq. of Braincrt:
We told you i'll our last of our ex-
periences as far as Braineld on the
n. 7. r. r., at the crossing Of the
Mississippi. We knew it would
rouse the Nimrod born in every true
lover of woods and streams and
when thus inborn, yields to no ex-
orcism of any kind.
The Mississippi at this point is
about 400 feet wide, and spanned
by a Howe truss bridge so feet
above high water mark. Stepping
aboard one of the n. F. r. r.. mag
nificent coaches at the Headquar-
ters Hotel, we are soon moving out
and along upon one ofthe smoothest,
il not the smoothest, running roads
in the United States. Thirty miles
an hour is the speed, while we would
suspect it only Is or 20 miles, If
our eyes Were not outside upon the
objects whirling past us. Grand
ana glorious is the sparkling sun
shine i'll these northern days The
senses are braced to the plentitude
OF new experiences, and the spirits
dance to chorus ofnew joys. We
are soon running past the many
lakes where we have wetted our
lines, and were you here, you
would say, "surely your lines have
been cast in pleasant places
The rude attire Of the wilderness
has yielded to a floral exuberance
and vegetable wealth unsurpassed
in any part of our vast and fertile
country and you would be ready

PLYMOUTH CHURCH VIII HA VE
TO SURRENDER.

TO SURRENDER.
From the n Y. Sun.
In an article on the Beecher-Til
ton case the Herald has the follow
ing observations
Mr. Beecher has only one tribunal for
whose opinion he need really care, and by
that tribunal he has been acquitted. He is
to-day stronger in Plymouth Church than at
any time in his ministry. Plymouth Church
is in the humor that no matter what verdict
any jury may return it will support Mr.
Beeeher The victory remains with him, SO
far as it materially affects his works and
gains. He retains his newspaper, his pulpit,
his revenue from the platform, and as was
seen by his reception in New England, more
than his old popularity.
This is curious, and specifically
it is true. But there is another tri-
bunal for whose opinion Mr.. Beech
er must care, and that is the tribu-
nal of public opinion in general.
Should that decide against him up
on the great question of his guilt or
innocence, the fact that Plymouth
Church has now pronounced in his
favor will not avail That church
is numerous and rich body, and
pretty decided in its judgment; bat
it cannot stand long against a con
trary decision of the public ut large
Should that be against Mr. Beecher
finally, Plymouth Church will have
to surrender.

"A statement Of the gross earn
ings of fourteen railroads for the
month of September, shows con
siderable falling off as compared
with the earnings Of September,
1878, the month Of the panic. The
gross earnings last September were
$4,272,992, against 54,753,49l in
the same month last year, the de-
crease being s48o, 400, or about 10
per cent. Among the roads named
is the West Wisconsin, whose earn
ings are $4,000 less than last year
in .September The Northwestern
and the Milwaukee ~ st. Paul com
panie< are not included in the list.
l'he d. crease is easily accounted for
by the holding back of grain by the
farmers, IN consequence OF the low
prices. The receipts OF all kinds OF
grain at Western lake and river
ports, were III September, 1878, 25,-
400, ,357 bushels, and in September,
1874, l4,030,2O3 bushels, showing a
falling off Of more than 100000
bushels this wear.

WILD ToDACCo = The tobacco plant
appears to be indigenous to Nevada. 1t
grows wild in several parts of this couu-
ty, and the stalks attain hight of three
or four feet in some places, particularly
where the soil has been disturbed. The
weed fourishes along the railroad en-
bankment near Kemler's mill, where it
may now be seen by those who have
any curiosity to examine it. The spon-
tansous growth of tobacco in this soil
and climate would indicate that both are
adapted to its production. Some enter

Of some of the harder cultivated varie-
ties and give it fair trial next season.

TnE Phoebe Public Schools are closed

the subject the Record. of December l,
says:
We certainly hope that the incoming
trustees, Or some OF our leading citizens
will take some measures to put the
schools in good working order, even if a
small special tax had to be levied. Good
public schools in q community like
Phoebe is an absolute necessity, and
should on no account be neglected. With
careful management and well considered
economy. the cos: per month of keeping
two schools open. conducted by compe-
tent teachers. ought not to be burden
some 10 our citizens. We therefore hope
that such action will be had on the mat
ter that the schools will be reopened
early in the new year at the farthest.
