Snow fell in Wisconsin, Minnesota aud
northern Dakota on Thursday of last week.

The celebrated Dalryample farm, In north
ern Dakota, was not the property OF Mr..
Dalrymple, as has been generally suppos
ed. 1t belonged to Gen. Cass and Messrs.
Cheney & Grandin. Those gentlemen en-
ployed Oliver Dalrymple to manage their
vast wheat growing tract for them. They
invested 100000 In land aud farm ma.
chinery with the understanding that when
one-half that investment had been realized
from the soil they we're to deed one-halt
the land to their manager, Mr.. Daliymple.
The third crop. raised this year, added to
previous crops, nets them the required
$4,000 and Mr.. Dalrymple comes into pos.
session Of 5000 acres Of their land. Three
successive seasons have brought three pro.
i,able crops from what was deemed the
most barren portion Of the tabled American
desert. In that time Mr.. Dalrymple ha.
earned for himself 1900 acres of land and
has made northern Dakota famous as 9
wheat growing region.

Matches, Miss, Oct. 1.-The following

I'VE have what We believe 10 be accurate
Information in reference to the disturbances
in Tensas Parish. The reports which have
been circulated 90 extensively have been ex
travagant y exaggerated. On Monday last,
negroes in large numbers passed through
Waterproof, on their way to . mass meeting
some miles above town, and, in passing
through, some of them were very insulting
and threatensng,in their language. The citi-
Gems Of Waterproof doubtless had . good
cause for apprehension, and q messenger was
sent to this city asking for aid to save the
lives and honor ofthe women and children,
and the property Of the town. A meeting at
once assembled At the arm DRY, of light imam
try, and, under the advice Of the most pru.
den, men in the community,a company Of per-
sons, to the number Of about 100. volunteer.
ed to go TO Waterproof and learn the true
state OF affairs, prepared if necessary, to pro-
tect lives and property. A steam ferry boat
was procured, and the party left at II O'Clock
and reached Largent Landing about daybreak.
Here q cannon was fred to announce their
approach to the people Of Waterproof some
three miles distant. Several persons from
there came to the boat, and pleasing informa-
no need for armed assistance. Tothorough-
ly satisfy themselves, however. the party
proceeded to Waterproof with boat, where
they were met BY the authorities OF the
town, and the information received at Lar
gent was confirmed. At the urgent invita-.
ton of the people OF the town, the party
went ashore and were entertained during a
portion of the day, and returned last night
at about IL O'clock. The editor of this
paper used every effort to satisfy himself
in regard to the facts, and he found nothing
to induce him to believe that any negroes
had been killed. Three persons were found
in the house of Fairfax Saturday evening
last, when Capt. Peck was fred upon and
killed, two of whom are thought to be NOR.
tally wounded. There is no evidence that
any conflict had occurred, other than the
one which took place at Fairfax's house.
The gin house on Burns place, owned by
Moss 4 Wise, was burned, and with it some
sixty or seventy bales of cotton. When the
party from this city arrived, and a blank
charge was fired from a six-pounder, the
greatest CONSERVATION prevailed among the
negroes in the parish, but when thew found
out who composed the party, and from
whence they came, they seem much relieved
and seemed very glad to find that they were
from Natchez. Our conclusion, from what
We have personally seen, is that, while the
colored people Of Tensas parish, and some
Of the adjoining pa,i hes, have acted in
such an imprudent threatening manner as
to cause serious apprehensions on the part
of the people Of the parish, there has been
no probability, at any time, Of a dangerous
outbreak.N

THlEvlNG GANGS on THE NloBRARA.
Sioux City Journal.

For some time past q gang OF horse and
cattle thieves has been operating extensively
on the Missouri and Niobrara rivers, steal
ing chiefly from cattle herds collected for
filling & ,vernment contracts. 1t is stated to
us that during the uast season some l 900 or
l,2. 0 head of cattle have be. n stolen from
these herds, aside from quite a large number
Of horses, and Of late some effort has been
put forth by contractors to put a stop to the
business. We noticed a few days ago that
the sheriff of Antelope county, Neb., had
started out with q posse of ten men to look
after a gang Of horse thieves supposed to be
located somewhere on the Niobrara. The
movement was of more importance
than the simple announcement of this de-
parture seemed to suggest. The party on
that expedition included some trusty men
from this city, and others from points above
on The Missouri. The party struck a por-
ton Of the gang on the Niobrara river, at
about the mouth of the Running Water.
-Four men we're taken into custodv, and are
now in Jail at St. Helena, Cedar county,
Neb. The party also recovered 81 head Of
cattle and IA horses, all the proper y of gov
rnmen contractors. The names of the
men arrested We have not been able to learn
The entire gang is believed TO consiet of rs
TO IS men, and efforts will be made to cap.
ture as many more of them as possible. II
il believed that the location of some 100 ad
ditional head of the stolen cattle is known,
and a we'll appointed party is now on the
way in the expectation of making another
important capture. The result Of these
raids will probably be the breaking up Of
the most extensive gang Of thieves in the
northwest, and the contractors who are con.
Quoting the enterprise are doing valuable
service 10 the general public. IN the pres
ent stage Of proceedings prudential reason'
forbid the publicat on of . more detailed

plans for the future are.

"a CLERGYMAN is an ordained minister, q
man regularly authorized to preach the gos-
pei and administer its ordinances according
to the forms and rules of some denomination
Of Christians. The editor OF this paper is
a graduate of Ardover Theological Semi
nary, but he was never ordained, and with
the exception of one year in the employment
of the Home Missionary Society in western
Iowa, he has not preached except to accom-
modate some friend in the ministry, or to
supply temporarily vacant pulpit. Hav-
ing left the profession which he was never
in fact really in, there Is no propriety in
calling him what he does not profess to be,
clergyman. 1t is as n man and not as
clergyman, that he would be judged.-Ruf-
land Herald.
In alluding to our friend of the Rutland
Herald as clergyman, We intended no
disparagement. The calling Of the Chris
tian ministry is the highest in the range OF
human effort, as We regard it, and it is an
honor to bear its title. Nor are We quite
clear that the term was erroneOusly applied.
Our Worcester tells Us that 1.-THE clergy COM
prises such persons lis are regularly licensed
or ordained as ministers or preachers"
Outside Of England, where the term clergy
man belongs to ministers of the established
church, and in common parlance in this
country, the words minister and clergyman
are used as convertible terms. But we will
not call our friend clergyman, since hepre-
fers not to be 50 called.
The Herald goes on to justify its applica-
ton Of an OpprobriOus epithet to a clergy
man, on the ground that the latter has been
guilty of gross personalities in his paper
The Herald adds that it deals with him lin

The Herald makes its position tolerably
clear. When it calls a clergyman hedge

Previous to planting the vines. the ground

then planted about one foot apart. for the

suitable for culture in country and city, even
in the most dingy portions of the latter. In
some parts of New York city, it Is used to
good advantage in covering the fronts of

a great deal more than it is in places where
other things do not do well, in helping to
give little more cheerful aspect to the local
