Perhaps it may not be known to all our
readers that Minnesota supports al asr;cu!-
tural paper equal in siz", reading matter
and neatucss OF make up to any published
in the older States Of the Union. Not or
ly this. but it is larger. even. than some
leading States furnish Missouri. which
has three times our population, publishes
Co!eman's Rural World, which is eight
columns smaller: Wisconsin, in the
"Western Farmer" only has forty col
umn paper in place Of forty Eight in the
'Farmcrs' Union" published at Minncap-
oils; while Illinois furnishes in the "Prairic
Farmer" only the same amount of matter
as theC mon. This being the case, wouldn't
it be we'll for our farmers to pa:ronixc home
Industry little more and try their own
paper year. MAny are sending of to
New York and elsewhere for periodicals,
when home agricultural news would be
more benei;cial. We notice that the Unon
has recently pat on 4 new dress. and tina:
it still continues to furnish It's Usua!
amount of Interesting original matter tronl
the farmers each week. The publication
of so large and wei! filled = journal in Min
nesota is a credit to The State, and it ought

Springfield station.

Among the stations that are being estab-
lished along the line of the Winons h St,
Peter r. r. west of New Vim, and are bud
ding into villages, is that Of Springfield in
Town 100, Range 81, near the western line
1t is about % miles west Of New Urn. We
enjoyed brief visit in that locality last
week, and found delightful site fol u vii.
lage. Building has be.n somewhat retard-
ed because of uncertainty as to the exact
point where the railroad company would
establish the depot, bnt Superintendent
Sanborn had been there the day previous
to our visit aud he will doubtless deter
mine the matter at once. The people, in
terested in the property where the present
station is, feel that they have advantages
to offer which are valuable, and uncqualed
along that part Of the road. The
Cottonwood river is close Ivy, and along it
there is considerable amount Of timber
available for fuel and general use, which
not only relieves the b.cakness of open
prairie but adds positive charms to the
surrounding country. The general features
Of the site furnish opportunity for good
business streets and desirable and attractive
spots for dwellings. There is, too, an album
dance Of good water sasily procured.
We found Mr.. NJ. II. Gamble, who is
proprietor of the only store yet in the place
to be live man, understanding the wants
Of the community, popular with the peo-
pie and doing good business. Besides
his stock Of general merchandise he keeps
a lumber yard and is just getting in his
spring supply.
We saw number OF the farmers from
the vicinity, who are intelligent and ener-
getic and know that they have 1irst-rate
country.
Springfield is about % IL miles from
Redwood Falls. A county road has been
surveyed to a point OH the County line
directly north Of the Station but there has
not been any work done on it. In fact
there is little need OF work, except q dis
tancc of three or four miles midway Oh the
route. There is nothing to Interfere with
an excellent road and is . mail route has
been established between the two places
and mail services will! commence July LIST,
our citizers Will doubtless begin to turn
their attention TO it as the nearest and mo st
practicable route to the Railroad. Our
people do not entertain any serious hopes
that . railroad will be built to this place,
during the present year, and it bchoovcs
them to seek the nearest and most advan-
tagcous available point. All are interested,
the merchant who has goods to transport,
the people who purchase the goods and,
especially, the farmer who may have wheat
to market The sooner the matter is at
tended to the better.

Albert L. TruesdelI, son of Mr.. Levi
Truesdell, died on Monday morning. lie
was five years and seven months old. The
child had been hurt in the stomach by a
fall, when about two years old, and since
that time had been very frail. Last year
he took hoopingcough which left him in a
still more delicate condition. He had,
however, gotten through the winter and
his family hoped that, with the pleasant
weather would grow stronger, but cold
proved fatal in few days.

Meeting Of the County Board.

A meeting Of the Board of County Com
missicners has been called tor Thursday
May 18th.
Our readers will remember that the State
Board of Equalization added sixty per cent
to the scssed valuation OF property in
this county, last year. Previous to the
raising OF the valuation, our County Board
had levied a tax Of five mills, Which, it
was considered, would raise an amount Of
money sufficient for al, county purposss.
A tax OF five mills, on the valuation OF
property as raised by the State Board,
would, of course, raise more money than
the County Board intended and, if it is not
needed, would bc very unnecessary bur-
den to place upon the shoulders OF the
people at this time. The Legislature, last
Session, passed a bill empowering County
Boards lin this and other counties similarly
situated) to remit the excess and refund
where payment had been made, except as
to the State tax. Attention having been CAL
led to the matter, A. NJ. Cook chm. has
called a meeting Of the board, at which
the matter will be considered, and we a:c
satisfied that, if the tax is found to be in
excess Of the absolute needs Of the county,
relief will be given.
AN ACT to authorize the board Of coun-
ty commissioners of certain counties to re-
nit and refund portion Of tax levied :nr
year A. D. 1874, within their respective
limits.
The following is a copy Of the law.
Be it enacted 10y the Legislature of the
state of Minnesota:
Section l. Whereas, in some counties
Of this state the board of county conmis-
sioners had established the percentage o!
taxation in their respective counties for the
year A. D. 1874, previous to the raising 0!
the valuation OF property i'll said counties
by the state board of equalization, whereby
an amount Of tax largely in excess Of the
amount intended to lie raised has been int
posed on the property in said counties.
Therefore, the board Of county commissi IN
ers in said counties arc hereby empower ID
and Instructed respectively, to remit all
taxes except the state tax, SO as to make
the amount of tax to be collected cores
pond with the valuation Of said property at
the time the percentage of taxation was
fixed, and upon which such percentage was
established.
Sed. 2. The board of county commits
sioners Of said counties are hereby author
lied to refund to part les who have already
paid their taxes within said counties for
the year A. d. 1874, the amount of tax au-
thorized to he RENTED under the first Sec
ton Of this act.
Sec. 3. This act shall tade effect and
be in force from and after its passage.
Approve March 8. 1875.

In central Illinois spring farm work
is about fifteen days late as compared
with the average Of ne last ten years,
and farmers are correspondingly dis
conraged. The cold dry weather pre-.
vents the germination Of seed, and has
extensively damaged the prospects as
regards small fruits, and retarded the
growth Of grass to such IN extent that
there is NOT yet : bit Of pasturage.

Mr.. s. r. Bunch had some OF his fingers
badly mashed about two weeks ago while
working on Henry Bakers house. Not
being one of the kind who stops for tri1es,
he continued to work as usual and, during
some Of the bad weather, caught cold in
the wounds. The result was an attack Of
erysipelas and terribly bad looking and
painful hand and arm. He has suffered
intensely, not sleeping for six Or seven days
and, We believe, was in some danger o:
loosing his arm or having it permanently
disabled. A favorable turn has been
reached, however, and he il improving.

southern army for Jackson was some
thing wonderful. There never was
Il clearer case of hero-worship. He
was regarded as faultlcss man, and
all invinciblc man; and | suppose he
could at any time have got his men
Ia march out by platoons and be
shot, if it would nave gratitied him
in the slightest degree. At his death
the whole South was in tears, and
not more for their irreparable loss
than on account Of their tender love
for the man.
As regards Jackson's relation with
Lee and the other great outhcrH
generals, il was obvious TO me that
they felt toward each other like
brothers, and never knew what the
feeling OF jealousy was. Lee was al
ways ihrusting Jackson forward
whenever anything glorious was to
be done, and Jackson always showed
the most sincere admiration and re-
>pect for Lees plans and orders.
When victory pcrched on their BAN
| nrrs, Lee hugged Jackson and told
him the credit was all due To him !;
tnen Jackson would declare that Lee
| was the man that deserved all the
praise: and then both of them would
agree that to God belonged all the
glory. And the strangest thing of all
Was that the southern people could
| love both of these men so eXtrava
gantiy and never know which they
loved the best.
