Aadalem, from Minneapolis.
Messrs. p. A. and P. Il. Stubson, OF Menom-
one, called at their plantation in this town
on the 18th inst, and found some twenty
acres on the same covered with heavy tlmo-
thy, which they intend cutting this week.
Some time ago we learned, through a local
| from Martel OF a heavy female in that neigh
borhood who, we think a very rare sample
OF her kind. But as no male was mentioned
| as a match to the giantess we will exhibit
| one, not so much for his hett as for his &C
complished giant jobs rs we call them. He
| has lived in Gilman some nine years, in
which time he has cleared one hundred and
| fifty acres of heavy timber land, and with his
oxen and two men has logged two hundred
acres during the summer seasons. And yet
our man is able to ssflep" over one of our for
| est monsters in such q short time that we be-
| lieve no other man will ever undertake to
| equal him in this line of business. A two
| hundred FOUNDER he IS.
On Sunday last there was meeting held
in the Jensen school-house by Rev. NJ. Thor

| partook of the sacrement. After meeting
had adjourned lot OF people were obliged to
remain in the School-house to avoid getting
wet as it was raining at that time. The
thunder sounded with such effect that one OF
the ladies tainted, caused partly by the glare
and flash from the electricity which pene-
trated the ground not far from the school
house in Jenson's horse pasture, and about
three rods from where his team was feeding.
A blue coil of smoke was seen to ascend from
where the ground was struck. side shoot
from said electricity passed by the house OF
r. p. Haugen, who at that moment happened
to stick his head through the door, but as he
felt the warmth of something strange he
quickly withdrew, feeling as he did Il burn
ing pain in his side which, however, soon
left him.
