A GENTLE. HINT.

In our style climate, with its sudden
changes Of temperature rain, wind
and sunshine often intermingled i'll a
single day,-it is no wonder that our
children, friends and relatives are SO
frequently taken from us by neglected
colds, half the deaths resulting direct
ly from this cause. A bottle of b.
schee's German Syrup kept about your
home for immediate use will prevent
serious sickness, large doctors bill
and perhaps death, by the use of three
or four doses. For curing Consumption.
Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Severe
coughs, Group, or any disease of the
Throat or lungs, its success is simply
wonderful, as your druggist will tell
you. German Syrup is now sold i'll

The County Commissioners

The County Commissioners in
their meeting last week confined
themselves exclusively to examining
and passing upoE seed grain applica.
lions. OF the 344 applications that
were made, 298 were allowed, aggregat-
ing Q, 977 bus. of wheat, and 2,502 bus. of
oats. Whole number Of acres which
the successful applicants have for
seeding are l2,l82. The highest
number of bushels of wheat allowed
to any one applicant was so.
|Since the number total of bushels al
lowed, exceeds the number of bushels
estimated for this county by the Legis-
latiye Grasshopper Committee some 4,
100, We would advise applicants not to
rely too much on receiving the full
amount allowed them, as the nuns
Der total will have to be materially cut
down unless some Of the counties drop
far below the Committees estimate.
The County Commissioners will meet
again Monday, March the 18th, and
will then re-adjust the allowance
should it be found necessary to do so.

The Mankato Union in commentin

The M;.nkato Union in commenting
upon our article in regard to the rush
OF land seekers, says:
sit has been many years since the
prospect looked SO favorable for Mill
nesota as now. Emigration is once
more fully inaugurated. Those who
left during our unpleasantness with the
'hoppers are returning. Our real
estate men are kept busy answering in
quiries for land, and they are confident
by the final opening OF Spring that the
rush of emigration will far exceed that
of any former year. We have the best
climate OH the continent, the best soil,
which will produce more to the acre
than any State in the Union or any
country Oil the globe: the finest lakes III
the West. plentifully Astounding with
fish; inexhaustible quantities of timber
skirting our river and creek bottoms,
which can be had for IL small sum.
The winters are mild and pleasant
like Indian Summer; and, above all, our
State sustains q public school system
which has but few equals in all the land.
1t is indeed Il land of pure delight.
Land is plenty and as good as ever
laid out-of-doors. One hundred and
sixty acres of this fertile land can be
had for about ssl5, and living on it for
five years. Come on, We starving mil

The masquerade season is at last over,
and we know of at least one person who
is glad of it, as the way he was taken
SIM at the last masquerade ball at
Turner hall, was a ''leetle'' too much
for him.
1t seems that during the month of
February Cupid played the duce with
the chap in question. Sentimental
valentines flew thick and fast. of which
he was the recipient of a goodly mum.
Der. OF course he was not idle all this
time. but he longed for an opportunity
to express his emotions verbally to the
fair senderof those that he received.
He waited long and patiently,
but in vain. At last, being in a des-
perate state of mind, he repaired to
Turner hall on the evening in question
expecting to find the object of his
longing in attendance at the ball. He
danced and promenaded with nearly
every lady in the hall, in the vain hope
of finding out which was the right one.
At last, perseverance seemed to be
rewarded, and he led her to a seat and
began to pour out his lamentations, his
love, ETC., winding up with a wish
that they might never again be torn
asunder. By this time the evening
was quite far advanced, and the order
for unmasking was given. The lady.
being fond of joke, was no way back.
ward in pulling off the mask that had
hitherto yelled her face. The feelings Of
that cavalier may better beimagined
than expressed, when he beheld that he
had been bestowing his attentions to a
married lady; and he shot out of that
hall like cannon ball ont of ona Of
Krupp's mannotll cannon.

Editor Rerie4y:

In perusing the columns of your interesting pa

has become Of F. NJ. Scrobbs?'' That is question
every one in the neighborhood is asking, and no
one seems able to answer satisfactorily. But it is
OF his predecessor 'sAnon,'' or that the hatchet
has been recovered; and that he-poor tellow--has
fallen victim of that murderous weapon, as was
currently reported that his illustrations predeces-
sor did before him.
Now, Mr.. Editor, fear you will be unable to pro-
cure another correspondent; but, shonld you be so
fortunate, hope that whoever undertakes the task
will take warning from the supposed fate of Anon,
and Scrobbs, and let our amazons alone, and only
labor for the GOOD, of mankind. Yours,
