Rer1edies for Group.

,Having seen in late number
of your valuable paper, a letter
from an anxious mother, asking
for some simple remedies for
Group, | thought ! would send
a few that / have used in my
own fanaily with good results.
When The child is first at
tackled, aud begins 10 get
hoarsc, battle its throat and
breast with coal oil. If a very
young child, mix the coal oil
with a little melted lard, to pre-
vent irritating the skin. Then
take of powdered alum one tea
spoonful, the same of sugar and
one-half teaspoonful of tincture
,lobclia. Mix together and give
in small doses every few Min
utes until all is taken.
Another remedy in reach of
every one living in the country,
is oats-tea. Boil a handful of
oats in about a pint ofwater TN
ill the water is about the color
of weak coffee; then give in
doses of a tablespoonful or
moro. S;Nresf> vgr. "a

good and can be procured at

When you find q child has
creup, which IS generahyin the
evening or before. midnight
some tine, if possible, ipnt its
feet in a hot bath for about fif-

temperature by adding hot wa

take the feet out, than it was
whensy you put them in While
bathing the feet rub the breast
and throat with camphor and
lard melted together, put hot

For sore throat / treat the same
as above, only after putting to

While bathing, have the room
very warm, to prevent chilling

The ACCESSIBILITY of voting u bonus, at the
coming election, to aid in the construction
of the Little Falls &. Dakota Railroad, is to
be discussed by the Board of Trade next
Monday evening. The principal object to
be gained by having the question acted up
on at an early date, is to definitely decide
whether we are 10 have the road or,not.
Those who have been and are expanding
time and money in locating the line, have
right to know before proceeding further,
just what the people of Stevens county will
do. A vote to aid the scheme is simply, at
present, an assurance that we are willing
to aid, and that the enterprise has our sup
port. It makes no particle of difference
when the bonds are voted, as the act as
contained in Chapter 143 of Special Laws,
provides that NO bonds shall be issued
or delivered to the corporation or company
until the road, branch, or ex-
tension thereof, for the construction OF
Which tie bonds haze been ooted, shall haze
been completed ready for passage Of and
the cars running thereon" y y This
effectually prevents the issuance of tho
bonds until the road is in operation

From our Regular Correspondent
SaPT. 30, 1879.
Our j. T. Todd, Esq, has broken ground
For new dwelling house, hard by the ditch.
This shows he means &c stay here, after all
That has been said about his going off;
He joys along an even, silent way,
Showing it is the still SOW drinks the swill;
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;
He 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 tie court and school house, and railroad
And other things too numerous to name.
Our courthouse now is taking on a roof;
It looms majestic on the public square.
Surveyors Of the railroad route, have passed
Thro' town. and now are 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 Thorson's stacks,
symbol Of the rail trains, coming, when?

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 q 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, impractical
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 cvcf 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 a bank
er was to conduct his business in the same
careless, reckless and criminally expensive
manner, he would be o 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 route from Herman to
OrtonYille

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 reluctantly 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 APP,
pearance of the grain in the field; the long
heads, heavy bundles, large and thickly
scattered shocks, ali combined to over es-
innate the yield of grain. The crop OF
straw is, however, very large, it is pity
it is worthless.

A constitutional amendment to be voted
on this fall, is to the effect that no county,
town, or other municipal corporation, shah
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

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? If it is possible to keep
steam on an engine, it is possible to boil
tao kettle and keep the house warm.
