side, Featherstone, Hay Greek, Flor
ence, Wacouta, Central Point, Belvidere

very capable and worthy gentleman.
OUR travelling agent, W. J. Crandall,
returned from brief trip on Tuesday.
He reports that our country patrons
generally endorse our political acts.
They did not desire us to eat dirt be-
cause Donnelly and his democratic
hackers decreed that we should. So it
always is, the people will not desert a
man who will not be sold out himself,
nor attempt to sell them out.
LADIES Underwear, a very large
stock. embracing all the new styles,
Just received at Guy Graham's. Some
exceedingly handsome embroidered un-
derwear in the lot. 2w2
"Cal." Wagner's Minstrels are to
perform at Opera Hall tomorrow even
ing. Mr.. Wagner has always hitherto
travelled with good company, and is
himself the prince of showmen; and
from the notices of his present company
contained in our exchanges, we are led
to believe that it is fully up to his for
mer standard of excellence. Tickets
and reserved seats for sale at Zirkel-
backs.
AN extra from the River Falls, (Wis.)
Advance, advises US that that town was
visited with very destructive confa-
grafton on last Sunday morning. Five
buildings, amongst which was the new
hotel of R. w. Flemming, were entirely
destroyed and several others more or
less injured. The total loss is given at
$4,000. The sufferers were r. W.
Fleming, H. G. Haven, John McKeen,
E. G. Pierce, Dr.. c. E. Davis, R. N.
Jensen, and Mrs. Scales. The ladies
turned out en- naasse and aided in arrest
ing the speed of the flames.
/ JORDAN, on Third street, is becom-
ing quite business place. Early in the
summer w. Sherman commenced a
brick building, which he now occupies.
Brink u Simmons, Hawkins & Conner,
and J. w. Luce are also erecting hand
some buildings, thus converting this
swamp into fine business block. On
their completion they will be occupied
by Boynton g. Wellman, who intend to
have feed mill and store, Roath &
Stearns, grocers, and O.. Eames & Co.,
meat market. Tim McCue, who has
been in the business before, will open a
meat market in the building now occu-
pied by Roath g. Stearns.
The Republican takes the trouble to
deny certain accusations made by Mr..
Donnelly against the postmaster Of this
city and Lake city, in connection with
the return to Mr.. D. of circulars which
he had sent through the mail without
proper prepayment Of postage thereon.
1t lis certainly due to Mr.. Graves, the
Red Wing postmaster, to vouch for his
innocence of improper interference with
the correspondence of Mr.. Donnelly or
anybody else; but a serious denial of
Donnelly's accusation is unnecessary,
because of the fact that the charge is
one that is wholly unlikely to be true
one which could hardly be true under
any ordinary circumstances.
MEssRs. LowArER e. Cole are de-
termined not to be "behind time," and
have provided themselves with one of
Lund's famous ship chronometers, which
are claimed not to vary more than forty
seconds per year. 1t is a handsome
piece of work. This firm have also
just received two beautiful groups of
Rogers celebrated statuary. One, "Go-
ing to the Parson," represents rural
couple just approaching the minister to
get married, and the other, "The Fa-
vored Scholar is a teacher making love
to young lady at his desk, while a
rogue Of boy, sitting on the "bench
for disobedients" is peering around sly
ly and listening to the tender utterances
with evident satisfaction.
