The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1876-03-01

The Baptist festival at Music Hall
last evening was every way a success
The attendance was large, the tables
were loaded with good things and lib
orally patronized. Many Of the COS
tunes Of the olden times were unique
and most happily appropriate. The
old time tea party character was we'll
done and brought down the house, as
did also the tableaux of 1.-THE Village
School, -|1776 g. 1872 and many
others. The receipts amounted to about
1925.

Frank Mcmahon, Lecturer;
A. O.. Reding, Steward;

The excuse pleaded by D. P. Burr,
Of Chicago, to rid himself of blame for
the swindling operations of the advertis-
ing firm of D. P. Burr & Co., is pretty
thin. We know that that fellow AGO."
is said to be consummate scoundrel,
whenever a firm with which he is con-
nected is found guilty Of wrong doing,
but it is hardly fair to lay all the sins
on his shoulders, and Mr.. D. P. Burr
can't hope to escape the consequence of
his knavery or folly by any such twad-
die as lie INDUCES in. It was bad
enough, Mr.. Burr, to have cheated us,
and altogether unnecessary to add insult
to the injury by sending this postal
card.
We have no change to report in the
markets. Wheat is still$1 90 for No. l.
Dressed pork is unchanged. The fol.
lowing is the latest report from Europe:
Mark Lane weekly report Of the corn
trade: "Tbe grain trade for the week has
been dull and uninteresting. The imports
have been moderate, and it is doubtful
whether the stocks on hand are as large as
they have been. English warehouses are
probably fairly filed, Notwithstanding the
steady depletion which has been in progress
since the end of 1875. We are now ap-
troaching period of critical Importance
regarding supplies. The large feet from
southeastern Europe, which has recently
been an incubus on trade. has been almost
cleared up, and the stoppage Of shipments
from ice-bound ports must reduce supplies.
Add to this the dimiu ution Of farmers stocks,
and we can reasonably conclude that the
plethora will shortly be over. A feature of
the grain trade now is that our near CONT
mental neighbors are not so we'll supplied,
and relaxation Of rates here would lead
to an inquiry from there. Altogether trade
seems healthy, subject only to the contin-
gencies. Increased supplies now seem i'm
probable.'
We must be excused from publishing
"Old Tenth's'' reply to the Republic
cans insinuation that he "was picked
up in the streets by the marshal.
He never was picked up. It isn't his
style. Every body knows that, and we
presume the squib complained of is
only another one of Gen. Jennison's
boomerang jokes. (?) In fact, the
Generals criticism of the cantata
throughout and all the incidents connect
ed with it was only a series of his jokes,
| (?) and as he is not now even "sub-
ordinate officer of the State,' we insist
that he shall not be held to strict &C.
countability for their preparation.
But in all kindness towards him, we
would advise him to quit joking. %
The community generally, as we'll as
the State Senate, is Intellectually too
| obtuse to appreciate his style Of joking
