Horace Thompson, Esq. of st. Paul,
made a strong point in his speech last
Saturday in showing the advantages
that VIII accrue to our farmers from
having ourrail road built by parties not
connected with the main trunk lines.
The moment our grain leaves here,
three lines will compete at once for the
carrying; the West Wisconsin, the
Milwaukee s St. Paul, and the Duluth
road. This must necessarily reduce
freight to the lowest rates possible; and
the lower the freight, the higher the
price paid to the farmer.
In confederation of what the JOURNAL.
said last week regarding the advantag-
es to be derived from railroad, Mr..
Sabin, of saltwater, of the manufact-
uring firm of Seymour, Sabin & Co..
stated that his firm wants this road so
as to have access to the hard timber of
Trimbelle. Here is bid in good sea-
son. But isn't it more than likely that
manufacturing establishments viii be
built up here. so that the owners of
this valuable timber viii receive the
benefit of competition! Our magn if
cent water power win hardly be idle

It being dark, and no witnesses, the only thing kng wn was that promiscuous shooting Was indulgcd in for several moments. when inc mob entered the building and took the prisoner. The body of Col.
