The Indians on the island are infring-
ing on our sportsmen's ground, it is
said. Have they not as good a right
to shoot game as the white man. Seth
Lyons has lately purchased the Gar
field estate.
Quite number of our farmers are
endeavoring to organize a cooperation
society, but say that they lack the CAPT.
tai, yet they spend several hundred dol
lars every fall. 1t is not so much gain
in the amount of stock as in the amount
that is consumed. The dividends are
not drawn from the amount of stock in
vested but by what's consumed. Hence,
those who consume the most Of their
stock invested will draw the largest
dividends. For instance, if one purchases
a ten dollar share, and draws goods to
the full amount of the share, he will
receive more dividend than the one who
only draws goods to the amount Of one
half Of his share. Both shares being
alike. If 90 persons would put $25
apiece, into the hands Of one person
to buy goods, they will get more goods
for their $25 than if they purchased
them alone Farmers and laborers are
not working to their interests when
they object to cooperation.
Has all that has been said about that
"Island road' and Bird &c been idle
talk, if SO, what is the use of intellect
and foresight It will be of a great
benefit to Trenton as we'll as to adioin-
ing towns, but will it not be benefit
to Red Wing. That city will receive
the greater portion of Pierce county
produce. 1t is said, on good authority,
that several thousand dollars can be
raised by subscription in Pierce county
to build this road and bridge. Red
Wing does not now receive one twenti-
eth part Of the trade of this county,
and besides the trade would increase
largely if this road and bridge was in
operation. Who is the man that will
make start at this. TRENToN1TE.

The announcement, some weeks ago,
that arrangements had been perfected
for opening and maintaining the Red
Wing Institute, was somewhat prema-
ture; but we learn that efforts are now
being made which, it is believed, will
lead to re-establishing the Institute On
permanent basis, and it is hoped that
the school will be re-opened this fall.
F1RE.-On Tuesday, Nov. I'd, Mr..
Young Varian, of the township of STAN
ton, in this county, went with his fam
lily to Mortified, leaving home early in
the morning. About noon the same
day Mr.. George W. Gould, a neignbor,
saw smoke issuing from his residence,
and Judging it to be on fire, raised an
alarm and hurried to the scene, followed
by a number of other neighbors. By
the time they reached the premises it
was too late to save anything, and
building, furniture, winters provisions
and some 5000 in money were Destroy
ed. The occurrence of the fire is not
accounted for, there having been no one
about the premises, so far as is known,
from the the time the family left, some
six hours before the fire was noticed.
McHUGH who had become widely
known and highly priced by the deni-
zens of the immediate vicinity of this
Office, because of his splendid assert
ment Of apples, pears, grapes, peanuts,
candies, &C., and lastly by his excellent
cider, has betook himself to winter quar-
tiers, in Sherman's old stand, on Third
street west Of Bush, just above Poole's
drug store. He has, also, increased
his stock, adding canned fruits, cigars,
tobacco, pipes, raisins. spices, crackers,
cheese, behring's, canned oysters, and
all sorts of shelf groceries, and will sell
cheap. He has already attracted a
good run Of custom, though but a new
conner in Red Wing, and deserves gen.
erous patronage, because he keeps good
articles, sells at lowest prices, and is
attentive to customers.
LANGsErH g. RE1NERTsEN, furriers,
on Bush street south of Maine, have
just opened, for their winter trade,
splendid stock of furs, gloves, mittens,
underwear and gents furnishing goods,
which they are selling at extremely low
prices at wholesale and retail. Amongst
their stock Of furs are some splendid
cloaks, capes, fur sets, and caps, gloves
and mittens for ladies and gentlemen,
also, buffalo overcoats, buckskin gloves
and mittens, etc, and all sorts of WOOL
en- and cotton underwear.
They are, likewise, prepared to re-
pair, renovate and retrim old furs Of all
sorts and make them as good as new.

this line had better give them call, as
they will find their prices astonishingly

HORRIBLE. Most HORRIBLE. The story
of the family of Richard Daniels of Lyme.
whose children were so frozen last week,
after fleeing from the house, which had
taken fire, is more terrible than was at
first reported. The father, it seems, is a
most brutal fellow, and the reason why
the children did not call on the neighbors
for help was because he had denounced
the most terrible threats against them if
| they ever called for assistance from the
neighbors. He made these threats anew
when he came nome on Saturday night,
and found that they had been forced to
beg. He had even punished them for tax
ing food from the neighbors. The girl
10 years old, found dead and naked had a
chemise on when she left the house, but it
had been torn off by the others to keep
them warm. The boy found on Mr. Coults
steps had been there from midnight till 7
in the morning with nothing on but shirt
and pants. The most terrible part of the
story is that in the arms OF one of the GIRLS
saved was her child, II months old, and
the girls father proves to be also its father
Daniels has cleared out. but the officers
are after him. [springiield, (Mass Re

The Era of Torpedoes.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: 1--WE have
the advantage, just now, OF watching the
development of the torpedo in two perfect
ly opposite directions. Indeed, the Prus-
sian and Austrian governments never dit
| tered more decidedly in their treatment of
any subject than in this; and whatever is
being done elsewhere in the use of the
torpedo-we confine the word expressly
here to the aggressive movable weapon
as distinct from the fixed submarine mine
is but variety of the two practices
carried on in the Baltic and Adriatic. In
the former sea, as most of our readers are
generally aware. the German navy is de-
velosing a perfect tlotilla of small torpedo
vessels These are intended to carry the
weapon on some sort of boom to the enc
my's side, exactly as the late Captain
Gushing attacked and destroyed the Abe
marie in his famous exploit The means
of propulsion here is the screw steamer
itself The objections are, of course, that
the small vessels prepared, which are in
tended not to be easily seen by the fleet
they would attack, are 50 light and low as
to be easily disabled and unfit to face a
heavy open sea. Moreover, there are OBJ
yious mechanical difficulties in the manage
iltHl Vi tHc tIcneIuOuS engine iU lllc eH-
tremity of a long outrigger or boom, and
in preserving the torpedo boat itself from
coming within the radius of explosion,
and thus letting the engineer be hoist
with his own petard' Yet the German
naval officers are confident in their pro-
posed method as the right one to follow
and the latest reports from Trieste confirm
the opinion that the opposing principle OF
propelling the torpedo under water by its
own action--that Of the fish torpedo, in
SHORTS inherently defective. The Aus
trian officers have found the deviation of
the original Whitehead torpedo cut of its
course, from currents and other disturbing
forces. to be so considerable that they re-
Gently have tried to improve it by making
it longer and finer and have reduced its
diameter to fifteen inches, the length be-
coming nearly twenty feet, of which the

Greater speed and accuracy are thus gained

power OF this submarine weapon is so con-
siderable that it is very doubtful whether
an ironclad struck by it would be seriously

in fact to have been hitherto found insolu-

Another Hermit Found.

The subjoined tale Of a new specimen of
the hermit class appeard in the New York
Herald
Some hunters looking for rabbits in
piece Of woods near the northern part OF
Jamaica, in the town of Newton, about a
week ago, We're suddenly startled by hear
ing strange noise Immediately under
their feet, and immediately atterward
bare-headed man rose literally out OF the
earth only a few feet away The hunters
being much frightened at the strange APP
partition, took to their heels, and did not
slacken their pace until they reached
Middle Village, where they informed
Officer Bunting Of the occurrence and re-
turned with him to the spot, under the
natural belief that they had discovered
robbers den, and with the expectation
that they would find in it deposits Of
stolen goods, in which, however, they
were disappointed. On reaching the
place they found square hole in the
ground, about the size Of an ordinary
roof scuttle, descending through which
they found an aperture dug in the earth,
about ten by five feet in area and five feet
high. The man whom the hunters had
seen was there, and proved to be a stout
built German, who, however, could hardly
speak English sufficiently to render him
self ineligible. Nothing was found in
dcating that the man was leading an
unlawful lite, and his own explanation
was that he lived there rather than 90 to
the poor-bouse, and for three years had
spent his winters in this underground
abode, although in the summer time he
worked tor the neighboring farmers. The
only light in the place was from the en-
trance, and but dimly revealed the peeu-
liarites of this singular abode. The walls
were of earth. and the roof was formed
by LAYING timbers across and covering
them with earth and leaves. On one side
was low bunk, covered with dirty bed
clothes, and at the far end rose an impro-
yised stove OF brick, in which a fire was
burning and on the hearth was a pan OF
some Kind of food. When the trap was
shut not ray of light could penetrate the
hole, and the only means OF ventilation
was through the stove and pipe. Suisse
quent Investigations, made with the aid
of an interpreter. prove that the mans
name is Chrisdorf koerner and that six
years ago he was German soldier.
When he first came to this country he
made his winter residence in another
piece Of woods in Jamaica township;
but, finding the place resort for chicken
thieves, and fearing implication with them,
he tour years ago dug the hole for his pres
ent residence, and has occupied it every
winter since, preferring it to the county
poorhouse, of which, it appears, he had
one winters experience. He has worked
in the summer for a Mr. Backus and other
farmers, and in this respect his story is
confirmed His habit has been to 60 out
evenings to make his little purchases Of
provisions. Although he is contentcd
with his present mode of living, it is
probable that the obtrnsiye curiosity of
visitors will soon drive him to some
other.
