In the speech Of Hon. jefferson p.
Kidder, Of Dakota, made in Congress

the Territory Of Pembina; we are told
that the new territory will contain

and 200 miles of railroad are already
operated in the proposed Territory,

Wire Fencing.

We learn that in many localities
where no materials suitable for maxi
ing fences can be obtained, at prices
which will admit OF being purchased,
that farmers are experimenting on
wire. 1t is true wire fences have
been in use for years and years, but
on our prairies in the northwest, com.
paratiyely speaking, they are not, nor
never viii be in general use nor can
we count upon wood and stone for
fences. We shall in the end be obliged
to fall back on hedges, OF lire fences
which are the best of all. In the
meantime, wire must for the present
be more or less used for a substitute
in the place.of other materials.
Iron wire Is now being used for
fences, and Il not too small, and thor
oughly sustained by strong posts, it
makes very good fence. The great
difficulty in the West is, that it is al
most impossible to erect a wire fence
that will turn ;breachy and unruly
stock, but still a good wire fence is
better than no fence at all, though we
do not recall solitary instance where
a field is fenced by wire, but what it
has been broken into by mruly horses
or cattle.

Mimi, on the 14th inst, while bathing. He
and boy named Buncho were padding
around in skif and had about got it full of
water when young Hoch jumped overheard.
As he could not swim, it is supposed that he
either thought the water was not deep or ex-
pected to catch hold of the boat When he
rose to the surface after the plunge, the boat
was too far off for him to reach it, and the
water was seven feet deep. lie made frantic
efforts to save himself, but sank and was
drowned. The boy in the boat was SO excited
that, combined with the unwieldly condition
Of the boat, he could do nothing toward res
cue. Several parties were standing on the
shore, some of them undressed, but they
made no efforts to save the mans life. The
body was found within an hour after the
drowning occurred.
