From our Regular Correspondent.
SaPT 20, 1879.
Our j. f. Todd, Esq, has broken ground
For new dwelling house, hard by the ditch.
This shows he means to stay here, after all
That has been said about his going off,
He jogs along an even, silent way,
Showing it is the still SOW drinks the swil;
Yet, sometimes he is heard, with footing horn,
At breathless dewey eve, or sunny morn.
Our old friend ]. B, Peabody is here
Once more, and talks rebuilding the hotel
Burnt down, once kept him and Robinson;
TIe wants bonus that will free the lots
That once he owned. and fully occupied;
AS we are all so rich, we may comply,
As we have nothing else upon our hands,
Except tee court and school house, and railroad
And other things too numerous to name.
Our courthouse now is taking on a roof;
1t looms majestic on the public square.
Surveyors of the railroad route, have passed
Thro' town, and now pushing on their way
To Morris, and, by February next
Will reach Browns Valley, it is surely hoped.
The whistle Of the three her, run by steam,
Is often heard by Tory Thorsons stacks,
symbol Of the rail trains, coming, when?

A constitutional amendment to be voted
on this fall, is to the effect that no county,
town, or other municipal corporation, shall
be authorized to issue bonds, or to become
indebted in any manner, to aid in the con-
struction or equipment Of any railroad to
any amount that shall exceed five per cent.
of the value of the taxable property. This
reduces the limit from ten to five per cent.
This will not effect the L. F. & D. r. r.
bonus

From reliable sources, we learn that the
wheat through the north western counties,
is not yielding within from five to ten BUSH
els of the average as estimated during har-
vest. The threshing machine tally tells the
result, and judging from the reports of the
threshers work, we are reluctently forced
to reduce our previous estimates, as the
average will not exceed twelve Bushels per
acre in the county. A few fields have
averaged from twenty to twenty-five, but
the majority will fall far short of this. In
some instances the crop has not paid for
cutting. We all were misled by the ap-
pearance of the grain in the field; the long
heads, heavy bundles, large and thfckly
scattered shocks, all combined to over es-
innate the yield of grain. The crop OF
straw is, however, very large; it is pity
it is worthless.

Dennis Kearney, the great California
blatherskite, who was going to hang Grant
in effigy, concluded not to undertake the
job, as movement was on foot to give
him his deserts should hO attempt to put
his infamous threat into execution. He
did more, he weakened, and in his speach
simply alluded to him as "well, clothed,
well-fed, we'll dined, American, returning
from foreign parts"

On every field there are tons of straw
burned and wasted each year. Is there not
some way of utilizing these straw stacks?
Wood is scarce and high; why not use
straw fol fuel? II it is possible to keep
steam on an engine, it is possible to boil
tho kettle and keep the house warm.

The ways of Providence, they say are
past finding out. Well, the manner of let
ting mail contracts in Washington is equal
ly mysterious and mystifying. The first
any one knows of contract is that some
body in the State of Maine, or some other
remote portion of the Union, is endeavor-
ing to sub let the service on aroute, and as
the figures are at one-third less than the
actual cost of performing the service, the
government contractor is unable to fulfill
his agreement, and the people along the
lines are left to suffer every inconvenience.
Then, again, routes arc established and
contracts given for no apparent reason
other than to give some one an opportunity
to get their clutches into Uncle Sans mon
ey bags. The most expensive, impractica-
BILE, and useless routes are established, and
the first intimation the people have that the
department intend to establish such line,
or that the matter was ever under Contem-
plation, is a letter from some unknown
party, or parties, in some remote place,
calling for bids on a sub contract. 1t is no
wonder the government is expensive; it is
no wonder the people grumble. If bank
er was to conduct his business in the same
careless, reckless and criminally expensive
manner, he would be q bankrupt and en-
bezzler in short time. 1t really seems,
under the present system of letting con-
tracts and establishing routes, probable,
that if we owned, as some do, the power
to ask favor of cur Representative, that
we could get stage line from Morris to ST.
Paul via Duluth 1t would be as feasible
and as practical as a route from Herman to
Ortonvile.

The prospects are that politicians will

A fellow who took um5rage at some re-
marks in the Herman Herald, emphasized
his displeasura by drawing revolver on

work worth cent, for Bro Whiteman got
his ''gatling' on deck first, and compelled
the "solid" man to retire in bad order.
