A Teo Year Old l8ev Easss Ay Hogs.
A most heart rcnding calamity occurred
at Braman station, six miles from Scdalia,
No.. Friday, the 5th. Hon. L. Mathews,
who represented Cooper county several
years IN the lower house Of the Legis.
lature. and who now resides near Braman,
better known rs Martin Station, and a
Mr. Haynes, also q resident at Braman,
recently penned some hogs that had heen
running in the woods until they had be.
come almost wild. While Mrs. Haynes
Was out milking her COWS, last Friday
evening, and while Mr.. Haynes Was some
distance away, their little son, about ten
years old, climbed into the pen, where six
Of the Wild hogs were. As soon As his
feet touched the ground the brutes seized
him. The shrieks of the poor child soon
reached the ears Of his father and moth
er. who were near enough to witness the
awful sight. The frantic mother first
reached the pen, but not in time to save
the boy. Here was an arm and there q
leg, and the poor child was dead. What
followed can be better imagined than de.
scribed. Mr.. Haynes and his stricken
wife have the sympathy Of the entire
community.

The Mississippi Democrats talk like
men Of sense and patriotism over their
victory. Nothing could be better than
this sentiment from The Vicksburg
Herald: "Oh. let it not be said in the
future that our victory has been barren
Of good! Let US so use the blessings
that have been granted US, that oil the
people Of this State, Of every age, sex or
color, and race, and Of every political
creed shall have cause to rejoice that We
have won this victory. We are now re-
sponsiblo that Mississippi pursues the
path of peace and prosperity"

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 2, 1875.
Editor OF the Mail:
DEAR SIR: If the statement herewith
should appear sufficiently interesting to
find place in your paper, its publication
would answer at once good many pco.
pie who are inquiring whether the rails.
ing of grain as a business in Northwestern
Iowa is or may be made profitable.
This section (23) is, you know, = part
OF the 400 acres comprising the ''Sunny
Side Farm" near Sheldon. It was bro.
ken up last year and has been cultivated
this season under the superintcndence Of
Mr.. J. L. Kenny. as foreman, who is en-.
titled to credit for the economical man.
agement Of the work. The remaining
200 acres is in corn, wheat. oats, fax,
and barley, but these crops not having
been as yet disposed OF, the results can.
not now be stated.
OF this particular section it may be
stated that its price is and will be until
the first Of January next, if not sooner
sold, ten dollars per acre cash, including
the breaking, or eleven dollars and fifty
cents per acre on FIVE years. time with
easy payments, at which price the crops
would pay for the land in two years, in
Guiding taxes and interest meantime, il
the second crop should do as we'll as the
first has done.
While the result Of the farming expert
mcnt so far has been eminently satisfac
tory there have been no exceptionally
favorable circumstances in the case
and l do not doubt that others have done
better, nor that with our experience W.
can do better next year.
I shall furnish you, if you desire it
with our balance sheet at the close of the
year, showing the result Of the whole
], 400 acres we have had under cultiva
ton. We expect to break up, next year
some 600 acres more, and thereafter t.
break every year as much new land as We
may sell of that already broken until all
the trustee lands are disposed of.
