~ "" eASSehW MANS OFtWlON.
Geo. ]. WILDER, son Of David WILDER,
formerly member Of congress, Of Oneonla,
N. Y. recently visited Yankton, and writes
as follows to his home paper the Oneonta
Herald and Democrat:
YASKToN, D. T., July 20, 1873.
Editors Herald and Democrat:
To-day finds me about 1900 miles from
home. I am stopping At the Jencks House,
the largest hotel in Dakota, kept by H. F.
Jencks & Son, formerly Of the Goodyear
House, Golfers.
When getting aboard of the Dakota South
ern r. r. at Sioux city, for Yankton, I met
Presiding Elder Williams who rode with
me here, and yesterday / heard him preach.
His charge extends from Central Iowa, to
the Black Hills and from Nebraska to the
British Poasessions-quite q circuit. He
talks of going to Deadwood to establish an
NJ +. Church. MI. Williams is a very
forcible and entertaining speaker, and is q
brother of M. B. Williams, of Oneonta.
This is a growing town, being at the end
of the railroad, and the capital of Dakota.
A large amount of United States supplies
are transferred from the railroadto the boats
which run several hundred miles up the
Missouri river from here to the several In.
dian agencies Of this part of the country
This is q nice country, the crops are fine
and the harvest is abundant, and you DE-
not hear so much about the hard times as ir
the east. Yankton is about the size of One
onta, and they claim 1000 inhabitants

arrived at the Jencks house from the Black
Hills. He reports business dull at Dead
wood city. We believe of those who have
gone west, with few exceptions, the farmer,
have been much more successful than the
miners.
Yesterday / drove out about a mile and 8
half to VIM. Leaning's who has 16O acres a
good land as can be found in Otsego. HI
left Portlandville about eleven years ago
with only a few hundred dollars, not enough
to buy a farmers outfit, said he had to run
in debt $500 to buy an OK team and wagon
Now he owns a splendid farm near the city
is out of debt and has about 65 acers o
wheat this year, besides other grain. Thil
il a fair sample of what thousands of Others
have accomplished with only a few hundred
dollars to start with. The land he took un,
der the homestead act and cost him nothing
except . government fee of $14. Mr.. Lean
ing has a splendid garden which brings hin
in quite a revenue. Living so near the city
he has a good market for everything. Per
sons locating lands west should try to re
near a railroad. Better pay a fair pric'
than go back in the country, as the price o
produce depends very much on the rates o
transportation.

A CONSIDERABLE DAUGHTER. - What
was intended to be marriage up town
Wednesday evening was spoiled because
the bride at the last moment refused to
have the ceremony performed. Before
beginning the ceremony the minister
asked if the parents had consented, and
neither answered, but when the two stood
ON the floor together and the question
was asked the bride, "Do you take this
man as your husbaud2" she replied in a
firm tone, "Nol" The minister was in O
fix, but as the lady persisted in her an
swer, he could only tell them that the
ceremony could not proceed, aud the
couple went TO the carriage and started
back for home. Before they went ths
lady told the minister the reason for her
action. She said that after be had asked
them whether their parents had consent,
ed to their union, she thought over the
matter, and had come to the conclusion
that, as her mother was dead, she ought
to get the consent of her father before
she married, and as he so far had been
opposed to the match, she had made up
her mind to see whether he would not re.
lent, and, if he did, then she would re.
turn at some other time and have the
ceremony performed .-KenSingtoH (Neai
