The recent severe frosts have done such
great damage to the crops in the valley of
the Mississippi as to create very general
alarm. As a means of escape from the
consequences, the whole country is con.
sidering the adoption of more diversified
industry. The more exclusively grain pro-
ducing States are extending the area Of
coarse grain culture. The fruit growing
localities are feeling less confidence in the
early varieties which have: been raised
SO generally hitherto, and will make
greater dependence upon apples and later
varities of small fruits. Peaches and
cherries are 80 likely to bc nipped BY the
frost in Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Mis-.
souri,, as to diminish their value as staples.

THE OwAToNSA JOURNAL Of last week
contains an elaborate article descriptive
of the famous Springs. Prof Sharples of
Boston, aud Prot. Bode, of Milwaukee,
each gives a qualitative analysis Of the wa
ter, and they pronounce it very similar in
all respects to that of the celebrated
bethesda" Springs of Waukesha, Wis.
We arc glad to learn of this good fortune
which Owatonna has just discovered.
The city is beautiful one, finely situated
possessed Of all the advantages of . first
class watering place, not emitting socic-
ty. 1t is quite customary for cities Of
her size and pretensions to foster eli cks,
to indulge in petty jealousies, to let per-
sonal anlmosity warp the judgment, and
professional or political or business rival
~ to create divisions in the ranks of their
good men. Owatosna has had her expe-
rience with these conditions of society,
and outlived them to great extent. She
has learned the important truth, that she
has in her own ranks just as good men
and women as reside at any other point in
the State; just as capable professional
men; just as honorable politicians; just
as good morals; that her physical re-
sources only require Development to make
her as important As any other whose To-
cality is not more favorable to the trans.
action If a universal husiness Rhe n
begining to rely upon herself, to trust in
her own citizens and to uphold them at
home and abroad. She has learned that
all valuable achievements result from the
development and utilization Of her own
resources-heucc she is in situation moi
only to prosper, but to benefit all who
may contribute to her prosperity. Sue.
