himself Asterisk-typical signature if
there was an $50 added to the first
syllable and the other two syllables
omitted. The article in question
bears the ear marks of that mass of
concentrated ignorance and meanness
Hon. (?) Dan Anderson-if he was
not the author he inspired the writer.
We do not wonder that it takes No,
ID boots to encase the "ponderous
pedestals' of the writer, for the major
portion Of what brains he possesses
are in his feet or a little higher up.
lsanti county may we'll feel proud of
her two brilliant (sic) representatives
in the lesislature,-one of them is an
inflated wind bag, and the other did
not know enough to vote unless broth
or member gave him a nudge. We.
defy the most Zealous friend Of either.
Benson OR Anderson to point to one
single measure introduced by them
that tended to the welfare of Isanti
county or the state at large. No
credit should be given to Benson or
Anderson Tor preventing the passage
Of the bill dctachiug Spencer Brock
and Wyanett from lsanti county, as no
such bill was ever introduced. Be
fore this two legged specimen of the
long-eared braying quadruped again
undertakes to write a communication,
we would ~adyise him to study the
map of Minnesota and read the state
constitution. then perhaps, he would
not make such a display of gross igno-
rance in print. This county is ready
to receive Spencer Brook and Wy.
anett, provided the people of those
towns are willing to be annexed, and
we know that four tiths of them are
willing; but detacning those towns
from Isauti would be nluti]ating that
county, indeed, would leave no Isanti
county at all. for nine-tenths Of the
intelligent people Of the county re-
side in those towns. Imagine what
the effect would be if the suns rays
we're excluded from the earth, and
some idea may be gained Of what
lsanti county would be without spen-
Ger Brook and Wyanett. Hence Dan
Anderson, White and the other Cam
bridge Swedcs arc mad clean through
at the mere mention Of the annexing
Of those towns to this county,. " @za6

The elections of 1879 open to-day with
the California election for stete and Judi
cial officers, four congressman and mem
bers of the legislature There are five
tickets in the field-the republicans and
democrats proper, the workingmen, the
Honorable Bilks and the prohibtionists :;
though the latter are but comparatively
small faction. The workingmen are led
by Dennis Kearney. The Honorable Bilks
"a nickname given them by Kearney-
are politicians from all parties, many of
them ex-officehoders, who wish 10 take
charge of the new constitution. They call
themselves conservatives, and their candi-
date for governor, Glenn, is also the can.
didate of the democrats 1t is of course
impossible to predict the issue, where
parties are SO numerous and so mixed.
Especial importance is attached to the
congressional elections, in view of the
possible contingency of the selection of
the next president being thrown into the
House. Maine follows September Sh,
with an election for governor and mem
bers of the Legislature. There are three
candidates for governor-repubican dem
ocratic and greenback; and the Indications
promise republican victory. Next comes
Iowa and Ohio. October ID, for state off
GERS and members of the legislature !;
Maryland, Massachusetts. Minnesota, New
York and Wisconsin, November 4. for
state officers and members of the legisla-
ture; Mississippi and New Jersey, No
vember 4, for members of the legislature /;
and Pennsylvania, November 4, for state
treasurer and members of of the legisla-
ture. These elections are the advance
skirmishes before the great contest of 1880.

WINDSOR COUNTY.

Island Pond has an interesting case on
hand. During 1865 Maj or N. z. Bow
man, being the owner of two or three par
GELS of land in Island Pond, and a piece
of land in Charleston, mortgaged them all
to Colonel Frederic Fletcher of St. Johns
bury as security for u loan of one thou
sand dollars Among the parcels in Island
Pond was lot of land owned by Isaac
Dyer, but upon which Major Bowman had
obtained tax sale. In January, 1867,
the major sold several parcels of real es-
tate, conveying to Isaac Dyer the lot of
land of which Dyer was the actual owner.
In February following he sold the Charles
ton lands to one William NJ. Cargill, and
piece of about fourteen acres in Brgh-
ton to Mr.. Ladroit Farmer; in November
of the same year, another parcel of land
to D. S. Storrs, Esq. All these purchasers
(unless it may be Isaac Dyer) paid the full
value for their purchases, even ut the in
llated prices of 1867, depending entirely
upon Major Bowman representation that
The lands were unencumbered, the major
having forgotten the existence of the
mortgage Gas he now says). Eleven
years later, and most of the lands had
changed owners, some of them many
times; houses had been built thereon,
farms cleared, ETC., when Colonel Fletcher,
who all this time had remained perfectly
quiet, suddenly wanted his money, and
has taken proceedings to foreclose his
mortgage.
