We are having slendid weather for
harvesting. Cool nights and gentle
breczes during the day enables farmers to
get on remarkable well, aud already the
prairies are dotted in all directions with
grain stacks. The wheat crop is light
and it is thouuht the general average will
will not be more then ten bushels to the
acre. but the quality is good and will
nearly all go number one. Farmers are
looking for good prices which will make
up in measure for the shortness in crops
Oats, and corn will turn out good.
Last Thursday, a horse, that had been
tied to hitching post opposite one of
the Stores, broke loose by pulling up the
post and dashed along the streets dragging
the post. He became so frightened that
be took no notice of where he was going
and ran into team opposite Mr.. Fitche's
He ran between the horses and wagon
and got SO entangled that he could not
extricatc himself and was held fast until
he was caught and secured There was
no harm done. Merchants ought to see
that the hitching posts are kept in good
shape, as little carclcssness, might cause
serious results.
Mr.. John Ensign and family have
moved to their farm in the country and
do not expect to return before fall.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. p. ingalls, are exprc,-
ing to take their daughter Mary to St.
Paul in short time, in hopes that they
can have something done for her eye
sight. Although entirely blind she is
very patient and submissive.
Miss Laura Moses started last Thurs
day for Faribault, where she expects to
spend few months with her friends.
There has been few slight cases of
Cholera Morbus around town but nothing
of serious nature.
Last Thursday as drunken man was
hualing load of beer boxes to the
saloon, with another drunken man perch
ed on top of the load, one box slid off
smashing quite number of bottles, and
the man that was on the load fell on his
head amongst the broken bottles. The
driver instead of picking up his compan-
ion, swung his hat and gave wild
whoop as he ran his horses up to the
saloon. Our officers ought not to allow
a drunken man to run his team through
town.
Mr.. Joseph Smith and family, from
New Ulm, went out yesterday to spend
the remainder of the week on their farm

A French Way of washine clothe.

A French Way of Washing Clothes.
A system of washing clothes has late
~ been introduced in some French towns
which is worthy of special mention. Its
economy is 20 great as to greatly reduce
the cost. This is the process: Two
pounds OF soap is reduced with little
weter to pulp, which having been Sigh
ly warmed is cooled in ten gallons of wa
ter, to which is added one spoonful of
turpentine oil and two spoonfuls of am
monia; then the mixture is agitated.
The water is kept at temperature
which may be borne by the hand. In
this solution the white clothes are put
and left there for two hours before wash
ing them with soap, taking care in the
meantime to cover the tub. The solu.
ton may be warmed again and used
once more, but it will be necessary to
add half spoonful of turpentine and
another spoonful of ammonia. Once
washed with eoap the clothes are put in
hot water, and the blue is applied. This
process, it is obvious, saves much time,
much labor and fuel, while it gives to
the clothes a whiteneas much superior ia
that obtained by any other process and
the destructive use of the washboard il
not necessary to clean tho clothes from
the Impurities which they contain.

from two to three inches high to ten and

and that was very lightly. Its effects are

treats ordinary pain lightly roll on the
ground in agony after being stung; and

AN AUGUST DAY.
BY ALICE II. EDDY.

Over the fields by winding ways
We wandered on together
Under the flashing azure akies. +
In q hush of August weather.
Round about us, afar and near,
We heard the locust humming,
And the asters starring the lonely path
Laughed out to see US coming.
Bird songs out of the sunlit oak
Fell ripping through the shadow,
Like spear Of flame the cardinal flower
Burned out along the meadow.
Into our hearts the blithe wind blew,
Its own freegladness giving
And all things laughed in the happy earth,
For the pure, sweet Joy OF living.
Two roamed on with their eyes alight,
And their hearts too still for laughter,
Two in a revel of golden life,
Look neither before nor after.
One went dreaming with downcast face
Through tho hush OF the woodland cover,
But one praised God FROM trembling heart
That shadow Of pain was over.
