Suspected Of PGlsohliE.

The residents of Moorstown and Bath, two
small villages a few miles from Easton, have
been greatly excited for the past few days
over the sudden death of widow lady
named Houser, and circulated report thdt
she had died from the effects of poison, and
named as the culprit Mrs, Spangler, who
lived with Mrs. Houser and her aged father.
The rumor gained as it went the rounds,and
it was asserted that the old gentleman dcsir-
ed to marry Mrs, Spangler and that he had
made over to her nearly $4,000 worth of his
property. Mrs. Houser was buried Monday,
and Tuesday the District Attorney, togC ther
the County Coroner, had the body eXhumed
and a post-mortem examination was held,
resulting in discovering no traces Of poison,
and the jury thereupon rendered a ver-
diet that deosassd died from natural causes

NORTHERN MINNEsoTI.

Land Sales by the Northern Pacific r. r.. Co.
and Entries at the Three Land Offices in
That Section of the State-Rapid Absorb
ton of the Broad Prairies.
We are indebted to Col. j. B. Powers.
land commissioner of the Northern Pacific
railroad company, for the land sales by his
department and the United States govern
ment in northern Minnesota and eastern
Dakota, for the month of June, and for the
six months from January 1 to July 1, 1878.
The sales by the railroad company for
June were 94,5So.54 acres for $418, 1880.
The total sales by the company for the six
months of 1873, ending June 81, we're 500
987 acres for $1,468,O53, an average of
$4.55 per acre.
Reports from the United States land Of
fees for juno are not yet made up, but for
the five months ending May 31st, they show
the following enormous business:
The Fergus Falls Office, 1852 entries.
covering 163,936 acres.
The Detroit Office, 1916 entries, covering
223, 329 acres.
The Fargo, d. T., Office, 2,4O4 entries.
covering 350,506 acres.
Making grand total for the five months
of 5000 entries, embracing 737,77I acres,
The June business of the Offices will not be
less than 1850 acres, making the total for
the six months some 800 acres.
These lands, taken, as they have to be, only
under the presumption and homestead laws,
by actual settlers, represent some 6,4OO heads
of families, or, at least, 10000 new settlers.

the past six months, exclusive of those who

4 Dirty Trick.
Est. Cloud Times. |

The early day at which the district con-
ventions are to be held makes it necessary 10
call two sets of county conventions, the
first to select delegates, and the second to
nominate county officers, it being altogether
too early to inaugurate county canvasses.
But then, Washburn wanted to get Stewart
at disadvantage, and his friends fixed the
date with view to having the delegations
''fx up before the genial doctor could re-
turn from Washington. It is dirty trick,
and one which Stewards friends ought to re-
sent by general rally to his support.
The doctor has been abused, villified and
traduced by local newspapers, hired for that
purpose; everything which could detract
from his reputation has been circulated, and
hence, smarting under knowledge Of his
injuries, it would not be surprising if he
concluded to resent this trickery by an ap-
peal directly to the people.

The State board have guarantees that the

The hotel accommodations will compare
favorably with much larger cities, and all will
be taken care of while in attendance at the fair.
All persons will take notice that they are at
liberty to exhibit and compete for premiums

Coon AVERAGE SUccEss.-During
the last year of the late war, when a
call was made for one-year men,
there was young man in West Vir.
ginia that had some aspirations for
military honors. He wrote to the
Governor for captains commission
to raise company of one year men.
He was sent a second lieutenants
commission, with privilege of cap
tain if he got up company. He
put up a tent, hired a man to beat the
drum, and in a few days got one
recruit, aud that was all he got in a
month. The Governor, thinking
that he might have company raised,
wrote to ask him if he had hundred
good men for one year. The Lieu
tenant wrote back, that he did not
have hundred good men for one
year, but he had one id good man
for a hundred years. Detroit Free
