Medina, Sept 2sd, and Mir. Cyrus P. Weaver, to Miss Rubie L. North, of Torrington- We gladly welcome her to this place.
 ANOTHER PIONEER GoNE.-Died at Medina, Ohio, Sept 27th, Deacon Mira Northrop
 aged 87 years It might be said that he was the father of Medina. He was born, we think, in Brookfeld, Conn. in 1791. When young he removed with his fathers family to Corn wall. About sixty-two years since he was employed as teacher of singing in this place, and, as was customary in those days, teachers of singing as we'll as district school teachers boarded around. Here he became acquainted with Miss Abbie Nettleten, whom he married sixty years ago last June. Soon after their marriage they removed with their own con- veyance to Medina, with two of his brothers, when there were butthree houses within the radius of several miles, and we think but one in the township of Medina. He has lived to see it a county scat, and an incorporated city. Some years since, he prepared and had pub- lished history of the town from it's com mencement, which was of great interest, par ticularly to the inhabitants of the town and county. Some ten years, ago at the close of the exercises at their golden wedding, which were participated in by hundreds, lady advanced to the aged couple, and presented them with beautiful doll, saying she was the first child born in Medina, and as she had no children, begged them to accept it as the first grand daughter. He was one of the first members of the church in that place and elected one of it's first deaecns. Probably noone in the town exerted greater and more lasting influence for good than Dea. Northrop.
 At Shakopee, Minn., Sept. 22d, died Moses Starr Titus, aged 59. He was born in Washing ton, Ct. in 1819 and. about forty years since, joined the Pond brothers, Missionaries to the Sioux when that country was inhabited only by Indians. His life has been 8 success. Nearly thirty years an elder inthe Presbyterian church, he fell asleep in Jesus, and his end was peace.

 In the case of Charles Cortfr, vs Geo7ge c. Hitcalcock, judgment was granted in favor of the plaintiff for $59a. S2 debt and $214 costs. This case has had curious history. In April last, it was continued On physicians certificate that MT. Hitchcock was very ill from the effects of runaway. The case then went to a committee, and was again postponed on. the ground that the defendant was too much hurt by another rlinaway to attend the trial. It was then duly assigned for trial, this term, and on Wednesday of last week Mir. Hitchcock applied for another postponement tice of the assignment, could not obtain ma- terial witness, and that his wife, also witness, was too sick to attend court. The court refus- ed his application. When the case was reach  ed the certificate of Dr. Brown, of Woodbury, that Hitchcock was again too sick to attend court. The certificate was not sworn to, and the judge, after stating that hedid not believe in the defendants sickness, gave the plaintiff judgment by default.

gard to County Attorneys. in the fol.
lowing language:
The incompetency and general character
of the county attorneys in some of the new
counties in western Minnesota, calls loudly
for new law in regard to that Office. A
great many of the county attorneys in
western Minnesota do nothing but draw
their pay, and when officials go to them
for an opinion in regard to the legal bust.
ness of the county, they cannot give it
without referring to the Attorney General,
and the main thing they do is to draw their
pay regularly and growl because they do

employ attorneys to assist the county at

Next Saturday, the gath inst, is the
date for holding the Republican Coun.
i ty Convention, and we take this op-
portunity Of counselling the delegates
to exercise great care in their choice
of candidates. If the Republicans
wish to retain control Of this county
they must endeavor to put ticket in
the field that win be in.every respect
strong one. It is well known that
there is very bitter feeling existing
in the ranks of the party in this coun.
ty. and it is not improbable that a split
will ensue, If the breach is not closed
and efforts maie to harmonize matters.
It is, therefore, necessary that the NOM
nations should be made with view
to conciliate the discontented faction,
and in order to do this, concessions
must be made, and while some aspi-
rants may feel disposed to grumble. YET
no attention must be paid to that, as
it viii occur in any event. All Of US
have personal friends whom we would
wish to favor, yet In this case 1t may
not be advisable, and it would be bet
ter to ignore the disafected factions
and unite upon third party who
would meet with a united support.
Remember that this is not the Stevens
county of year ago, and as there is
now large element amongst US who
are disposed to act independently, and
who are not at present to be counted
upon as members of either party, it
would be advisable to have them rep
resented, and by this means unite them
with US. We are not simply writing
for the sake of saying something, but
on the contrary are advocating what
under existing circumstances seems
most likely to be beneficial, and we
are of the opinion that unless solid
front is presented, existing differences
settled, and arrangements made to
harmonic and unite the party, that
part if not the whole ticket Is en-
dangered. Delegates in voting should
consider not their own or an individual
interest, but what would be accepta-
BILE and of benefit to the public. II
they act to the best of their ability,
and use their utmost endeavors to car
ry oat the wishes of the towns which
they represent, then there will be no
mistakes made, hut should they do
otherwise, they viii create greater dis
cord and do both themselves and their
friends permanent injury.

The citizens of Austin, Mower Co.,
were, on Saturday evening last, treated
to speech from Judge Page. The
citizens of that county signed petit
ton calling upon Page to resign. and
he requested that he be allowed to
publicly address the people and give
the facts in regard to his Impeachment,
etc. An enormous audience assembled
to hear him, but instead of hearing
gentlemanly and manly exortation. they
were compelled to listen to continuous
TRADE of abuse. The whole evening
was monopolized by Page, with the
object of preventing any reply by the
opposition, and as consequence the
address was frequently interrupted.
From the lengthy and detailed ac-
counts, we are led to the conclusion
that the whole vicinity is blighted by
that mans presence, and prominent
citizen of Austin aptly expresses the
effect of his presence in the commune
ty when he says: che (Page) does and
has done more damage than the blight
has done to the wheat crop. don't
see what we can do, he ruins every
thing" Page managed the whole pro-
ceedings to suit himself. The meeting
was called Saturday evening and he
occupied the entire time until Sun.
day morning, thus disbarring any other
speakers.
