St. Paul, Aug. 5.-The returns from
the threshers furnish the basis for an
estimate of the probable yield of
wheat In this, state. The whole aver
age is much better than that of last
year, but lower than expected. Early
wheat is the poorest in the southern
counties, where the average yield will
be from ten to twelve bushels, and
steadily improves to the north, till it
reaches from twenty to twenty-five
bushels, I'M the Red. fiyer valley the
grade will be largely No. 2 in the south
and No. l in the north. A, conserva,
tive estimate shows an average in two.

remainder, seventeen bushels. This
would give 10000, 900 bushels as ths

A COMPANY of gentlemen in our midst have
purchased the county right to DR.. 'Daver.
ports patented process for preserving fruits
meats and vegetables. This process is Ger
tainly one of the greatest discoveries of the
age. Fruits can be preserved in their natu
raj state without the aid of heat, sugar OF
sealing wax, as the articles are submitted to a
simple chemical process and do not have to
BE- hermetically sealed. Ladies, instead of
roasting themselves over hot stove, can per
form all the labor connected with canning
fruit under a shade tree. We have been
shown some of the samples of fruit and veg
etables preserved by this process, and not
withstanding the fact that these samples had
been opened and handled by hundreds, they
present the natural appearance and flavor to
a remarkable degree. Canvassers will soon
visit the people of the county, and give every
one an opportunity to purchase family right.

IS Barosma has been the means of doing a
great deal of gond in healing the sick, and
benefting the afflicted, many of whom had
almost despaired of health, or of even being
free from pain. Six years ago man troub>
led with kidney difficulty came to my drug
store, leaning heavily on his cane, nearly half
doubled, hand across his back-an object ot
pity; said he had been troubled in this way for
years, aud whenever he took cold it settled
across his kidneys, often combining him to his
bed for days and weeks with excruciating
pain. He took bottle of the Barosma, and
in three days returned, saying it was worth
fifty dollars to him, and was willing to pay
that if he could not get il without. He con-
Iinued using it, buying the six bottles for five
dollars, which cured him entirely. Prepared

mother of Auditor Coff1land, died on last Sat
urday morning, from hemorrhage of the stom-
ach, aged fifty years Although in feeble

upon her, she bore with patience and fortitude
her lot, and when the hour of her dissolution
came, she passed away as one who ''lies down
to pleasant dreams" 1t is said of deceased,
that she possessed the sterling traits of true
woman, and was universally beloved by &C
quaintances. By her death husband has

toners, and Wheeler, that the Board has ca
'acity of storage seldom surpassed among Or
binary mortals. Supper over, short time
