A Brave Deed.

The Detroit Tree Press says that, as
the fast mail train over the Michigan
Central road was nearing New Buffalo,
Albert j. Hirst, fireman ON the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad,
was riding on the locomotive and noticed
that child about four years old had
fallen on the track few rods ahead of
the approaching train, Quickly he went
through the cab window and along the
side of the locomotive to the bottom step
of the pilot or cow-catcher, and reaching
out he lifted the child from the track to,
the locomotive, saving it's life. Although
the locomotive had been slackened up in
it's speed as much as possible, the force
of its progress was so great that Mr..
Hirst's right hand was in some way bad
ly smashed, although the child was com
paratively uninjured.

is as follows:
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 81, 1877.
GENTLEMEN: Referring to the conversation had
with you yesterday, in which Gov Hayes policy as
TO the status of certain Southern States was dis
cussed, we desire to say that we can assure
you, in the strongest possible manner of our
great desire 70 have him adopt such policy
will give to the people of the States of South
Carolina and Louisiana the right to control their
own affairs in their own way, subject only to the
constitution of the United States and the laws
made in pursuance thereof, and to say further that
from an acquaintance with and knowledge of Gov.
Hayes and his views, we have the most complete
confidence that such viii be the policy of his adj
mnistration. Respectfully,

CHARLES FOSTER.

Hold Up the Gun.

A great many stories are told of the
carelessness with which danger is re-
garded by the average pioneer This
was illustrated by story told to Ne,cs
reporter the other day. The incident
occurred away back 1S49 or 1860. A
large tent which was used as gambling
house was filed with men-m miners and
sports-all intent on beating the "tiger. 4"
Two fellows got into a row, when one of
the combatants pulled an old-fashioned
Allen pepper-box and commenced to
shoot. That kind of shooter is seldom
accurate, and it happened that by
stander was hit by one of the bullets.
The ball cut the skin over the eve and
ranged around to the left temple. With
some impotence the wounded man
worked the bullet out at the hole where
it went in. Throwing it back at the man
who was shooting, he said "Hold that
cussed gun up you will put somebody's
eye out, first you know" Then he
called the turn tray-eight for an ounce
and half. Gold I'M Ncws.

An Honest Medicine,

Of all medicines calculated to cure affec-
lions of the throat, chest and lungs, we
know Of none we can begin to recon-
mend so highly as DR. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Colds, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Hoarscness, Tickling in the
Throat, loss of voice, &C. It doesp posi-.
tiuely cure, and that where everything
else has failed. No medicine can show
one half so many positive and perman-
ent cures as have already been wrought
by this wonderful remedy. For the Asth-
ma and Bronchitis it is a perfect specific,
curing the worst cases in the shortest
time possible. We would say by all
means give it trial. Three doses will
relieve the worst case. Trial bottles

course, that is what they raise wheat for.
Now, can our millers afford to have tho
farmers do this? Would it not be better
for the Millers' Association of Minneapolis
to send to Ca NADIA, or some other point, and
get car or several cars of pure Fife and
sell 1t out to the farmers art say Canada

In this way they would not only get the
increase consequent upon change of seed
which could equal the increase Of Lost Ma

raise just the kind of wheat that the millers
want and just what the State vents to main.

1t might be said that q farmer should

IN one or two instances, but they did not
get pure Fife, although they got nearly
double the amount of wheat to the acre
from the change of seed, But what we
want is strictly pure Fife. and millers know
that there is comparatively none in the
State. Besides, small lots are liable to get
wasted and lost by freight, and by express

mercy, to remove from our fellowship
our highly esteemed sister, Mrs. E. A.

That it is but a just tribute to the
memory of the deceased for us to de-
clare that, in losing her, we have been
deprived of the association and valued
services of a most worthy Matron, and
that we deeply deplore the loss we have
sustained.
That we feel that Burnside Grange
is entitled to our heartfelt sympathy,
in that there has been removed from it's

its organization were calculated to pro-

From our Traveller.

FINE ISLAND, March 10th, 1877.
Ed. AdvGnce:-As we have been cir.
culating around through this part of
the county, we will give you a few
items about matters and things. We
came to Zumbrota on Tuesday last,
travelling over roads that were wretch
edly bad. They were drifted full of
snow, and sleigh would run much bet.
ter than a wagon. We found Zumbro-
ia aourishing as usual and were
strengthened in an opinion we long ago
formed that it is one of the most pleas
ant and prosperous towns in this coun-
ty. We found our old friend, Fred
George, at his post ready to entertain
the travelling public in his usual hand
some manner. He has a commodious
house, is the prince Of good landlords,
and is ably assisted by his estimable
lady. Mr.. George is so perfect land
lord that it ought to be against the law
for him to be anything else.
There seems to be considerable in
terest felt in railroad matters, and we
noticed there is pretty general i'm
preston that Red Wing is strongly op-
posed to the interests of Zumbrota.
Some men with whom we cOnyersed
were in favor of road running to Red
Wing, but did not think it probable
that such q road would ever be built.
That road is needed by Zumbrota
there is not the shadow of a doubt.
The prospect seems good for consid-
cradle building here the coming season.
Mr.. Cunningham designs building
hotel on the west side Of Main street,
and we heard of quite a number of
dwellings to be built. The citizens of
this town, as usual, refuse to grant IL
cense to sell liquor, which, to our mind,
accounts in great measure for the air
of comfort and prosperity apparent in
the town.
From Zumbrota we went to
which, though not large place, is a
very pleasant one, and situated in as
fine a farming country, perhaps, rs
there is in the United States. We
were entertained by our old time friend
and fellow soldier, Mr.. Daniel Druse,
whom we found located on a splendid
farm overlooking the village and the
surrounding country. Mr.. Druse has a
large, roomy house, good stables, &C.,
and everything about him to make home
happy; and withal he is now, as Of old,
good christian man and one who be-
lieves and practices the golden rule.
We were informed that the church,
sabbath school and district school were
all in Aourishing condition and, from
our observation, concluded that a more
intelligent and generous lot Of people
than those in the vicinity is hard to
find. @l'e, .@s -f:.-..
Out this way, the people are not cry
ing hard times to so great an extent as
they are in Red Wing. On the con-
trary, every one seems to feel as though
matters are about right, or, at least,
