STATUS OF TIE LEGISLATURES.

The Legislature itself is, in every re.
spect, better one that State has had
for long time, and may go farther
and say that it is probably the best
that has ever convened in West Virgil
mia. A large majority of the members
ofeach house are men OF high standing
and irreproachable character, and con-
duct is unexceptionable. They look as
though they meant business and were
qualified TO do it, and i believe that
the event will justify the expectation
of the people Of. the State in this regard.

have supplanted the simple, habits of
Our fathers, and have brought in their
train many ofenses against morals.
Money-getting has become the princi-
pal aim in life, and the means Of acqul-
sition have not been too nicely weighed
success in this fieE has been the am
pie shield to cover questionable modes
of accumulation. Office has been sought
for its pecuniary reward; and embezzie-
ment and peculation have become ia
miliar terms. Even now the country
looks upon the humiliating spectacle OF
the National Legislature engaged in
proceedings to ascertain whether any
of its members have been guilty OF
bribery or corruption.
While we may not remedy past evils,
as a people we may learn lessons Of
economy, frugality aud virtue which in
the future will he of iRcalculable value.

fine .chool-houses, elegant hotels, magnih-
cent public buildings, and all erected where
three years ago was but wild, uncultivated
prairie. Such is Fargo, and such are the
advantages ofiving in the latter part of the
nineteenth century
Wednesday morning, the editorial party
having been refreshed by a good nights rest,
were taken in buses to visit the Court
House, very fine building bully OF white
brick, elegantly finished on the inside, and
an honor to the town in every way.
Here the party had the honor of being in
troduced to Judge Barnes, Chief Justice of
Dakota Territory, and to United States Mar
shall Packard, Of Yankton, both very pleasant
gentlemen, and men whom it does one good
to meet. We afterwards had a very pleasant
talk with Judge Barnes, who is a Wisconsin
man, and halls from Walworth County, south
ern part of state. He takes considerable in
terest in Superior and railroad matters here
abouts.
From the Court House we were driven to
Moorhead to visit its high school-a school
which, by the way, would be credit to any
town. The teacher, whose name is Miles, we
believe, is graduate Of one of the Minnesota
Normal Schools, and the school and his man
ner of teaching it was an excellent exhibition
of the benefits ola Normal School course.
After dinner a special train was provided
for an excursion to the Northern Pacific
Nurseries at Goose Creek, - miles beyond
Fargo, which was participated in v,ry gener-
ally by the good people Of Fargo and Moor
head and the editorial party. Here the n. p
Land Company have under cult iyaton a
large number of acres of land, the most of
it devoted to the growing of trees from seed
and slips, the same in the short period of five
years growing into beautiful groves and
afiodiug shelter and protection from storms
to til" farmers homes and plenty of fuel for
their fires. These nurseries are under the
supervision of Mr.. Mike Smith, a German
who has made tree culture study all his
life, aud who has already established beyond

III mmss N.Y. HAIR

Every year increases the popu-
larity Of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard ; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepare
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
Tn badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,

sets, says, 1.-THE constituents are

Notes and News.

The Louisiana compromise was
completed ON Saturday the State Sem
ate have agreed to it, and awarded
the contested seats accordingly.
Dispatches from many points thro-
out the region indicate that the cold
snap east of the Mississippi, and as
far south as Georgia and Alabama,
which has prevailed since Friday
night, is uneNampled in its severity
for this season of the year. 1t Is fear
ed that much harm has been done to
the budding vegetation by the sharp
frost and snow. All along the coast
above North Carolina Sunday night
the thermometer was below freezing
point, the mark in this city at mid
night being twenty-five degrees.
Dispatches from along the line of
the Union Pacific Railroad from Om-
aha as far West as Wyoming, report
a very serious amount of damage to
the road from freshets in the rivers
and creeks contiguous to it. There
have been heavy thaws recently,
which acting upon the deep snow de-
posted upon the mountain slopes
have made torrents of the brooks and
broad streams of the usually shallow
rivers. AT Omaha it is said that six
teen bridges are gone and a Salt Lake
despatch increases the number by
four. Travel is for the present very
slow and uncertain.
The turbulent miners in the Penn
sylvania coal regions are displaying
their bad temper again. A mob of
the strikers invaded Wilesbarre on
Saturday, carrying insulting and OBJ
scene banners, and threatening death
to any men who are opposed to the or
ders of the Union. They met with
no antagonist and marched off with
| out committing any violence. Gov
| ernor Hartranft has decided not to
withdraw the troops from the distur-
bed districts for the present, and the
events of Saturday seem to confirm
the wisdom ofhis decision. The sta
tistics of the trade up to this time
show heavy falling off in the guam
tity Of coal mined for this year in
comparison with last year, which was
of itself none of the briskest.
I
A disaster only second to the great
Haydenville flood, of last May, oc-
Cured on Mill river, Massachusetts,
Saturday evening, and from precise
ly the same cause. A reservoir of
water burst it's dam, and the mighty
stream rushed down the valley ,swee-
ping before it bridges, factories and
every vestige of mans handiwork
within it's scope of destruction. The
loss of property is over 100000, but
fortunately there were no lives sacri-
feed. The scene Of the disaster is in
Norfolk county, near the towns Of
Wrentham and Norfolk, and about
twenty-five miles southwest from
Boston. The name OF the
stream is similar to that upon
which the Haydenville calam,
ity occurred, but the localities are a
| hundred miles apart. Some Of these
days the New England manufacture
ers, who store up water in reservoirs
for the supplying of powers for their
mills, will, for the sake of
their own pockets, take common pre-
cautions to avert such accidents, /"
which, indeed, are not accidents at
all.

This average Is ma 10 by striking
a general average Of the separate
States upon their respective pro-
duction. At the present time--a
season Of continued monetary de-
pression--the average price is six
ty-five cents. ten cents less than in
1869, when the crop was 70, 200, 900
bushels greater. The crops Of 1869
and 1874 are the shortest for many
