SUDDEN AND GRLSSELL.

/ SUDDEN AND GRKSSELL.
T. On. Monday last we visited, the stock
farm Of: Messrs. Sugden and Grissell,
in Dewald township. We found the
buildings pleasantly situated on an ele-
waited site just west Of Dewald lake.
A neat story and a half house has been
built, with verandah facing south.
The barn is a we'll: arranged struc-
ture, 24x32, with four divisions, having
a separate entrance to each, ventilated
aboye, and arrangements for carrying
water to each division. The two horses
''England's Glory" and John Bull,''
have apartments of their own and sep
arate lots outside to play in. ENG
lands Gloly," we found, was very fond
of trying how high he could reach and
make his mark on the fence or wall
which surrounds his lot. The highest
mark is somewhere from eight to ten
feet.
The sheds for sheep are ample and
well-arranged, and will accommodate
about 400 sheep. They are arranged
in the form of an L, the longer one be-
ing 24x220 feet and the shorter one 24x
so. There are fifteen ventilators to the
longer and five to tile shorter one.
These ventilators are simply wooden
pipes or chimneys extending foot or
two above the roof and having covers
which can be closed during snow storms.
Each shed is to have four rows of racks,
one row along each side of the sheds
and double rows of racks down the
middle. Connected with these sheds
are yards in which the sheep are to run,
divided so that not more than $50 sheep
shall he together in o re flock. The hay
lofts oyer the sheds will hold from to
ten tons of hay. The doors for getting
hay into the lofts are simply sections
Of the roof, and run from cave to comb.
The shed roofs have absorbed about 90
600 feet of lumber. The bill for all the
lumber used so far foots up about ST.
600.
The buildings were erected by E. r.
Humiston, of Worthington, who has
done very neat job on the house and
Il very substantial one on the barn and
sheds.
Messrs. Sugden and Grissell are ex-
pecting about 1000 sheep in a few days,
and will inaugurate their stock opera
ton. This is only the beginning and
they expect to enlarge as rapidly us cir
cumstances will justify. Other Eng
lish gentlemen expect to come in due
time, and they will probably locate in
the same neighborhood.
Mr.. Ames returned yesterday from
his sheep-buying tour. lie has been
principally III northeastern Iowa, COM
ing home through the eastern counties
of Minnesota. He spurcllascd about
5000 sheep which are now at jackson
and will be here by Monday or Tues
day next. We shall give a more detail
ed account of his trip next week.
NJ. A. Doane brings us some enor-
nous vegetables raised from the seed

THE ENGLISH MISSION.
Tho P,izs will be Awarded to

THE APPOINTMENT soon TO BE
MADE.
The Presidents Feelings in Regard TO
Cameron.

WASHINGTON, October "a.
Forney's Sunday Chronicle says that it ha, the
most reliable authority for saying that since the
regular Cabinet meeting on Friday, the Presideu Mt
and his premier have been considering the dispos-
al of the English Mission very thoroughly. and
because of a misunderstanding it has created in
nnsylvanis, besides their desire to carry ont
their original intentions, they are now strongly
disposed to award the prize to that State. This
conclusion has not been reached at any sacrifice
of their avowed civil service policy, or with vev
of retrscting their objection TO ex-senator Gamer
on, but simply to do an act of justice to Q great
state, which the President fully realizes as too
important factor In shaping public opinion to be
treated lightly. The President disclaims any
sympathy with either of the factions in that state
is he the least disposed to disparage the high
his friends, much less to refuse the consideration
due the position held by j. Donald Cameron Is
senatur in Congress, but while he comedies this
he claims the right to select his own advse In
making his appointments.
This much as regards the Presidents feelings
towards the Camerons. As TO the Esglish mission
1t is now determined to select Pennsy lv ania and
we would not be surprised if the nomination was
made in the next As hours. Wayne McVeign can
have the position if he desires it, and the same
can be said OF Gov. Hartranft. But for McMich.
sePs age, his chances would be very fair, As the
President entertains the highest opinion Of his
abilities Elk Gov. Curtin is also favorably men,
toned.
uoever the coming man is he will be credits.
BILE to the state, and Mr.. Evarts is in great hopes
the selection will give general satisfaction.

irauded out Of the Presidency" He made an sd-
dress of some length. He said he was glad to

struck with the lack of pork and cereals ia Eng

British workmen with cheap food and benefit our
farmers, ii we only abolish our barbarian revenue
system.
He then passed TO the present state election, eu-
logging Gov. Robinson, and urging the election
OF candidates who will act with Robinson in b is
reform measures.
He continued at considerable length on national
affairs referring to the last election the foister-
ing of president upon the people who was not
elected. and said he was opposed now to any in
crease Of the army.
lie said deliberately that the crime in America
in 1876, transcribed. the usurpation of Napoleon

their country, and retired amid great cheering.
