ANOTHER CHURCH FESTIVAL -
MOONLIGHT PARTY.

We have been requested TO announce that
the ladies of the Episcopal Church will give a
moonlight party at Treadway's Garden, on
Friday night of this week. Professor Varney
and his quadrille band of four pieces will be
there; there will be supper; and there will
be more Episcopalian fun than has been seen
before in a great many hundred years. 1t
will cost the intelligent, pleasure seeking
man one dollar to participate; and he can
fetch all his lady acquaintance if he likes.
Also, it will cost so cents per head to take an
even chance at the supper table. This is all
that need be said AS to the rest, prepare
for this soiree under the moon and stars.

Dish that Mccarthy speaks Of as against thu

| like to Jove!' AS no other place that we have
ever known, Carson has taken on a tone Of
thorough, well-grounded, admirable self i'm.
provement. Some businesses have suffered
no doubt; there is less money taken in at the
bars and at the gaming tables, but the atmos-
phere is a thousand fold better for the young
and the impossible, and the mature too of
both sexes The place is outgrowing it's I'M
coutkness and shaking off the unseemly habits
of an awkward as well as a vicious age and
condition. And so it is that your Querist
likes to take quiet chat with reflective Sir
Roger or genial Sir Roderick about the do
mesticals and the ruralistics and the things
of social life, and hear him praise, in his
quiet tones, the development of the calmer
instincts and less demonstrative aspirations
of the neighborhood-decrying all manner of
violence and SANDER and brawling, deprecat-
ing that which is coarse and fragrant and ex-
travagant, and approaching, in well chosen
terms the virtues of home, and generous and
simple home influences. 1t is encouraging to
hear him recite, as out of a well kept diary,
the succession of events which have led our
little city up to its present condition of health
fulness and presentability He frowns upon
the sensational and the inhammatory in liter
ature-especially newspaper literature, does
Sir Roger; and this Annotator is glad to have
so strong a confirmation of his own tastes and
fancies. E. Housefies are your only true cos
mopolites. They are the same in every cline,
in every altitude, in every condition of life.
And yet, with all our familiarity with these

about them. How many of us have ever seen

NEARLY A MURDER.

On Monday, near midnight, the residents
of back street in the southern portion of the
city, were aroused by the fearful cry of "mur
der" apparently coming from woman. The
| locality whence the shout emanated was dis
covered in less time than it takes to write this
and proved to be notorious mansion de joie,
occupied by solitary female. Notwithstand-
ing the bad character of the occupant, it was
determined the woman must be rescued from
the vile clutches of the midnight assassin A
number of courageous men sought to gain ad-
mission to the house in which foul murder
was being perpetrated, but an entrance could
not easily be effected as the doors were locked
and barred. The noise inside continued, and
beg of you, for Gods sake don't ETC. ETC.
greeted the ears of the outsiders. The sup
locations were made in the most despairing
female tones-enough to melt heart of stone
themselves no longer, fearing that further
delay in getting into the building might afford
the villain an opportunity to carry into execu-
ton his murderous intent. The men cried
out that if the door were not instantly opened
they would break it down. Their threats were
needed no more than the idle wind which was
playing around the premises at the time. At
length one of the humane party procured
stick of cordwood and commenced ramming
the outside door down until it gave away and
fell into the hall of the besieged building with
a crash loud enough to awaken the dead;
when a sortie was made on the interior. The
scene that presented itself TO the intruders was
soul narrowing. Upon the floor, on her
knees, was a woman aged about 50 years,
with disheveled tresses, and the tears flowing
Down her cheeks like mill race, clasping her
hands suplicatingly, begging of ruffianly
ooking man, who bore the semblance of !
mountain wood butcher, to spare the life of
Ter pet black and tan purp. The man swore
'athS, both loud and deep, that no canine |
hould come between him and a womans love-
The lntruders were not warmly welcomed by
lther of the interesting couple, who threat
ned them with arrest for their trouble and
visit The men who expected
o see woman bathed in blood in place of
ears, were not prepared to witness such
ldlculous spectacle as presented itself to their
lew. However they restored the customary
uietude of the locality in a few moments
hereafter; the dog was taken from the man
nd the latter was, without ado, kicked into
ne street by strong pair eff boots. TIL
oman was cautioned that if she ever created
mother similar racket in the neighborhood

STATISTICAL BUREAU.
The report OF the Commissioner of Statistics
contains much valuable information. especial
ly upon the subject of grain, stock.raising
and tree planting. It shows that not for one
fortunate year alone, but for four successive
years Minnesota steadily maintained her DO
sition as among the leading wheat producing
States of the Union The results are given "a
follows:
Wheat in bushels. AVERAGE.

1876 30,059135 l7.O5.
The wheat crop Of 1875 exceeded 10000. 600
bushels and but Tor injuries by insect and
the destructive flood occurring during the
harvest, the Commissioner is of the opinion
that 81, 000, 900 would be moderate estimate
for the wheat crop of that year. The crop of
oats was also larger than ever before by nearly

school tax with provision for its apportion-
1nent, as well as OF his cogent reasons tor the
measure.
We may indulge an honest pride in the
results already achieved with our common
schools and no reasonable effort should be
spared to perfect system constituting one OF
the essential conditions to the perpetuation of
popular institutions. Our permanent school
fund has reached the sum OF about 81, 1896, 600,
ranking nth in amount among those OF the
States of the Union. If the residue of the
school lands shall realize prices equal to those
heretofore obtained, our common school ell
dowment will eventually reach the majestic
figure of S26, 00O, 600.
The subject of Normal School as lcgiti-
mate agency in our educational system has
elected much discussion Without here en-
tering upon the subject, simple justice sug-
gests that these schools are not fairly charge
able with the failure Of any reasonable results
that may have thus far been expected of them
n this State. The inevitable legislative wran-
lie annually repeated over the needed meas
re of their support, the disparaging com.
III ents to which they are subjected. and the
curing uncertainty respecting their main.
nance, place them at Constant and serious
sadvantage. l respectfully submit that thif
eatment is neither just to these institutions

STATE PRISON
refer with pleasure to the encouraging re-
port of the affairs of the State Prison. The
number OF convlcts at the close of the year
was 166; the average number during the
year, 1853 81. being an average increase of 10.
The total expenses were $39, 4O6 IS, and The
earnings $l8, 1853 81, showing net cost to the
State OF $21 PAT 81, or 1888 per capita. This
shows decreased cost OF prison maintenance
from that of any previous year, and compares
favorably with the conduct of similar institu-
tons elsewhere. Notwithstanding an average
increase of Is inmates, the expenses OF the
prison were less than those OF the previous
year, which the Inspectors ascribe partly to
the decreased cost Of provisions, and partly
to the strict economy and judicious manage
ment OF the Warden, by which the expenses
were kept within the current appropria-
ton. request your careful attention to
the various statements and suggestions
IF the officers of this institution and especially
to their complaints relative to the limited
conveniences Tor the profitable employment
OF convict labor, ~ wen as to the correspond

The Christmas Trado


has opened even earlier than usual this
year, and our more enterprising merchants
have already arranged on shelves and coun-

tractive assortments of holiday goods. They
know from past experience that the best
customers make their purchases early in the
season, when they can select from full and
unbroken stocks, and they wisely seek to
call the attention of this class to their goods
through the columns OF the Dispatch.
Quite number of such advertisements
may be found in our issue OF to-day. In q
