The Minnesota State Fair.
From the Pioneer.Prass.

From the PioneerPress.
The Minnesota State Fair of 1877 prom
ises to be the grandest exhibition of the
kind ever witnessed in the State, and the
people Of Minneapolis, with their charac-
teristic vim and iberality, do not pro-
pose to spare any effort to make it the
browning enterprise OF It's kind. While
1t is specially gratifying to observe this
commendable disposition on the part of
citizens, there is still another feature
which has not been observed at previous
fairs, but will add to the general interest
of the exhibit. This is the largely in
creased number of displays by leading
stock growers from adjacent States, and
for list of some of them already prom
ised, the Pioneer Press stands indebted to
Mr.. r. G. Judson, the interchangeable sec
Rotary of the State Agricultural Society.
Among the exhibitors mentioned by
Mr.. Judson, and who have already sup
.plemented their intentions with actual
entries, are Mr.. R. Ogilvie, of Madison,
Wis, one Of the most successful and ex-
tenslve breeders Of fine horses in the
West. and his stock has taken the blue
ribbon wherever shown-even in the
!" well-filled ring in St. Louis. This is
the first time that Mr.. Ogilvie entered his
stock for Minnesota fairs. He will show
thirty head of horses draught and Cleve-
land Bays Of different ages and all finely
bred; also one carload of Berkshire hogs.
Mr.. Peter Dayy, Of Ashipun, Dodge
county, Wisconsin, will exhibit his entire
herd Of Scotch Galloways-the finest in
the West. As they will be the first Gal
loway cattle ever shown in this State.
they will naturally attract great attention
from the stock breeders of Minnesota. A
resident of Waukesha, Wisconsin, will
also be on hand with splendid flock of
sheep, and the home exhibit is certain to
be OF most generous and satisfactory
character. Mr. Judson says that the sue
cess Of the forthcoming exposition is as
sured.

The responsibility for the terrible tragedy is

and on Yesterday morning started out
TO search for him. They soon found the

with il. The road between Blandyllle and
the river was then searched, and in
small creek between the river and
Blandyillc the body OF Mr.. Swan was
found. There We're no marks OF violence
on his body, and it is n question OF
doubt in the minds OF some whether the
preacher was accidently drowned or
whether he committed suicide. His
remains were taken to Blandyillc for
