Of course we have d laudable pride in
seeing Red Wing 60 :head, for what is
conducive to her prosperity is conducive
to ours to great extent. We have
long thought Red Wing the most wide
awake town between Winona and St.
Paul, and at this momeat We think 80
more than ever. Wewee at Red Wing
on the 9th inst, crossed the ferry at
that with the river clear oiice.

that all ye who sigh for a werme. cline,
and are anxious to emigrate to Texas or
Oregon. Think better of it and stay at
home, for after all Minnesota and Wis.,
consin are about as near rigat as need
be. We noticed that the read across
the island is in very good condition
and noticed further that James Day has
made some very substantial improve
ments on his place on the island.

RED WING, Feb. 9th, 1877.
Dear Sir: little thought when
penned the few lines about Jenkinsism,
which I handed You a short time ago,
that would excite such a hubbub as I
have; and I did not at all expect that
you would be held accountable for my
humble efasion. I am truly sorry that
the editor of the Republican has allowed
himself to get angry about it. He
ought not to be so sensitive. And how
could he make my remarks an excuse for
such pointless abuse Of you. May be
1 did wrong in indulging in a personal
fling at him, but I did it in no bad hu-
NOR, only aiming to make him realize
the folly of describing the dresses worn
by ladies at private gatherings. 1
must confess that his subsequent allu-
sions to the subject make him appear
much weaker than I had supposed him
to be. A WOMAN.
Our correspondent need not be
troubled. The Republicans abuse, being
pointless, does not sting.

agents Of Cincinnati, with whom we

been an invalid for several years, being

Death to her has not been misfortune,
but release from suffering, yet her

Editor Grange Adrdnce: Thinking
that few lines from this part Of this
"wooden country may prove accepta-
BILE we venture to address you.
The weather for the past three or
four weeks has not been of sort to
make our wood choppers particularly
amiable. We know that Red Wing
needs the wood and we know that we
have the wood to sell, and we know
furthermore that we can not draw
cord to market under present circum-
stances. 1t seems to be pretty general.
ly understood that the back bone of
winter is broken and we find it difficult to
analyze our feelings and to decide wheth-
er we are most glad or most sorry.
On the whole we conclude we are glad
that the river is again open, We are for
chilly reminded (now that We are cut off
from town by direct route) that
good brid &c across the river would be a
fine thing to have. We have wished
for it many times and shall continue to
wish for it until some definite action is
taken and the bridge is a fixed fact.
BY the way there has been considerable
feeling manifested of late on account Of
the action of Henry Sharpe, in closing
up our winter road, that the community
has used for the past ten years or more.
Mr.. Sharpe closed up the road leading
on TO the lake some time before the
river opened. Whether he had legal
right to do so, we will not say. But
we ,cil say that the interests Of large
number of the inhabitants living on this
side require the road to be regularly
laid out where it has heretofore run in
winter and we hopa it will soon be laid.
Red Wing is somewhat interested as
we'll as ourseless, as many of her
teamsters use it every winter. The
Supervisors met on Wednesday last to
regulate the matter but we are informed
that no definite action was taken. We
are pleased to know that your city is
taking steps in the right direction by
builing two large merchant mills the
coming season. That's as it should be.
The more manufacturing establishments
we have in our section the better. And

An Explanation.
TRENTON, Feb, 24tb, 1877

TRENTON, Feb, 24th, 1877,
Editor Grunge Advance: 1t is no:
with pleasant feelings altogether that I
write you these few lines, but when |
see an honorable man trcdden upon
both by the community and law, can
not help but raise my voice in his de-
fence. .s.s.-.. ..
Henry Sharp, who has resided in
this place but three or four years, seems
to have got the ill-wlll of several, be-
cause Of prohibiting the public from
crossing his private premises. I have
even heard some Red Wing gentlemen
state that he was every mean" because
he would not let them pass through bis
field, but said gentlemen, I believe,
would do the same thing 1t is coming
to a pretty state when man is Cob
demned for defending his rights.
Mr.. Sharp's land runs to the cbannel
where is the best crossing on the ice
and 1t has been used as road in wi:ter
for many years back. The town of
Trenton would not, or, at least, did not,
buy road to accommodate the public
in winter along this route.
Mr.. sharp's property is better known
as the Batchelcr estate. I believe Mr..
Sharp is IN favor of road there and is
perfectly willing for the town to Law out
a road, providing they pay him reason
able damages, but he does not intend to
let the public use it without cost. j..
On Saturday, February Sd, compa-
ny of nine persons returning from Red
Wing, X deter
mined to pass through his field. Mr..
Sharp ordered them back. They
threatened to break his fence down and
two of them, half hauling off their
coats, said they would thrash him. Mr..
Sharp went into the house, brought out
his shot gun and told them he would
shoot the first one that laid hands on
him, upon this the party drove off, and,
in short time, Mr.. Sharp was arrested
for attempting to shoot and was tried
before a jury in Esdaile and fined SIS and
costs.
Now does this look like justice? If
