Mr. George Warren is determined
to haul logs as long as he can; he was
the first inventor Of the sprinkler in
these regions, and now that it is not
cold enough to freeze water, and there
is no snow to be had, he employs two
men to chop out ice on the brook, and
another man and team to haul it OF
the road. MIR. w. says the ice lasts
three times as long as snow. But il
the present weather holds on, the ice
will soon all disappear, and then Mr.
Warren will have to get a freezer.

Beware Of Cloth .peddiers,

sat.> Beware Of Cloth Peddiers
Elsewhere is published notice
signed by Bernard Brady, Of St. Cloud
town, warning persons against pur-
chasing a certain note fer $54, which
he was deceived into signing by cloth
peddler, who gave his name as NJ. Pas
ner. sr.s4 s@ .~... ...-.
From Mr.. Brady, VI, learn the par.
ticulars of the transaction, which we
here append for the information of,
and warning to our people. Mr.. Bra
dy says that on Thursday last, this
man came to his house in a buggy driv-
en- by J. ]. Hubert Of this city. (Mr,
H. says he had nothing to do with the
mans affairs, and was only hired to
drive the horse.) The peddler first
offered to sell Mr.. Brady and wife two
towels at five cents each; white bed
spread at 20 cents; white. table cover
at 30 cents; balmoral skirt at 5 cents.
Having excited surprise at these low
fl cures, the peddler next produced
piece Of heavy beaver cloth, contain
ing three yards and a half, which he
offered to sell at $40, and which he.
said was about one third its cost; also
cloth for gentleman's complete suit,
which he offered for SIP, He next
produced broche shawl, which he
solcmnly declared cost $65, and Of
ferad to sell it for $40. Mrs. Brady
informed him that they had no money
at the time, and could not buy the
goods. The fellow Immediately re-
piled that that made no difference to
him; he would sell on 80 days time,
and laying the shawl over her arm de-
clarcd that be would let her have it
for $50. and that she must keep it.
OF the remainder Of the transaction,
MIR. Brady says he has no distinct rec.
objection. The fellow talked so fast
and so pleasantly that he lost his pres.
ence of mind, and when he recovered
himself, Pasncr was gone, taking with
him Brady's note for $54, and leaving
his trashy "cheap goods Next day
MIR. Brady came to town, and finding
the peddler at one Of the hotels, de-
manded the return Of his note. The
swindler replied that he would call
out next day and get the goods. and
give up the note. OF course he did
not appear, and Mr.. Brady now warns
the public against the purchase Of his
note.
The aboyei lisa fair description Of the
manner in which these rascally cloth
peddlcrs operate. and We give it, hop
ing that our farmers who are the es-
pecial objects Of the cloth swindlers'
wiles. will take warning and kick cut
|of doors every rascal who comes
around selling ''cheap cloths, etc.
Our farmers and people generally,
should recollect that they arc only
safe when trading with our resident
merchants, who sell Legitimate goods
at reasonable prices. So long as our
people persist in patronizing travelling
auctioneers and cloth peddlers, they
may rest assured that they will be VIC
timized. There is reason to believe
that these fellows are still operating
in Stearns county, and we again W .rn
our people to. look out for them-hlye
nothing to do with them. Ii you do
you will get swindled sure. ST.

especially the City Insane Asylum, Work

| desire to join in this well-deserved need
OF praise to the present Grand Jury; but at
the same time think they have exColled pre-
vious grand juries rather In the tact and skill
they have manifested in getting their report
before the public, than In the just and right
eous exposures of the far worse than useless
ness Of these reproaches to our city govern
meut.
venture the opinion that If the reports Of
previous grand iuries had been published
instead Of being suppressed In the very most
important items on public corruptiOns and
abuses, q similar feeling Of indignation to
that now existing against their management
would have long since been aroused; and you
would have had no occasion to say, as you do
In this mornings issue, Heretofore 1t has
been the habit for withdrawing report to
be brought in"
Compare the real report Of the Grand Jury
December, 1876, with the newspaper presenta-
ton of 1t, and you will have u sample Of the
style in which these reports Of the grand in
quest have been habitualy emasculated. In
whose interest Is this done? Was not this
very report now SO justly approved, first pub
llshed without hOofs horns or anything that
could lacerate or bruise anybody?
