SADLY BEREAVED.-A recent letter from
our esteemed friend Thomas BYrne, Of Pitts
bUTgh, contains the distressing news that
two OF his children have lately died of q diph-
iberia inside nine days of each other The
first victim was Alfred Michael, his second
son and third child, who died on the 18th
ultimo, aged years, month and 10 Gays
the other was his second daughter and fourth
child, Julia Olive, who died on the 9th nj
timo, aged years, months aud 10 days.
In Verification OF the adage that ''troublss
come not sinGly, but in battaliOns," his two
remaining children are down with the same
dread disease. with but slight hopes for their
recovery. Mr.. Byrne was at one time re-
sideut of this place, and his many friends
will unite with us ia the expression of senti-
ments of sincere sympathy for himself aud
his coed wife in their great bereavement

KILLED on THE RAILROAD.-Ou Thurs
day morning of last week, n tramp of rather
respectable appearance was run over by the
cars near SOuJh Fork, this county, and killed
instantly. From papers found on his-person
IL is COujectured that his name was Roger
Rush, and that his place OF residence was
Cincinnati, Ohio. The remains. ~ the iu-
stance of the Poor authorities, were taken IN
charge by undertaken Block, of JohnstOwn
and Inferred at SummerhjH the same after
noon. The Saturday following, an unknown
woman. who travelled on charity pass and
said she lived in Philadelphia, arrived in
SummPThili. She claimed to be cousin of
the victim, and by her orders the body was
disiuterred Meanwhile, she proceeded 10
Pittsburgh and procured from SnperiHleud-
ent Pitcairn free transportation for the body
10 Phil ladelphia. and on Monday returned to
Summerbil} and had the coffin shipped to
that city, accompanying il thither the
Mail train. So far, The transaction seems
TO have been square one on the part Of the
woman. Buf since the removal Of the body,
IL is Temen bered by the people Of Summer
hill that she showed a marked disiucliuatiOn
to speak of The dead mans identity, while
what little iufUI nation she did give was uu-
satisfactory If not contradictory. These
facts have led to the belief that mistake
was committed in not requiring the woman

JAMESTOWN.
1.-The New Central CITY,"

Travelling Correspondent OF the st. Paul Dlepatcn.
JAMESTOWN, D. T., Jan. 80, 1879.
Stutsman county, Dakota, one of the
best counties IN the Territory, lies about
midway between Fargo and Bismarck,
and is intersected from east to west by
the Northern Pacific railroad.
The county il AZ by 48 miles, contain
ing 2. O16 square miles or 1,290,240 acres.
The surface of the country is rolling and
exceedingly fertile, being from two to
three feet in depth and producing a fine
quality of wheat, oats, timothy, clover and
corn, while the prairie yields abundant
supplies of grass for hay. The hay thus
produced is very nutritious, and cattle
subsist on it through the winter without
any other kind of food. The finest kind
garden vegetables are produced in this
part of the country; such as beans, peas,
beets, onions, cabbage, turnips, tomatoes,
radishes and melons, while the varions
kinds of small fruits that thrive in this
latitude grow here to perfection.
One great advantage that Stutsman
county possesses is its excellent quality
of water, which can be had by digging
from twenty five to fifty feet. The James
and Pipestone rivers, two beautiful
streams intersect the country while many
small tributaries flow into them; there is
also large number OF lakes scattered over
the country, thus rendering it one of the
best watered counties in Dakota The
banks of the streams are we'll timbered
with oak, ash, elm, boxelder and various
other kinds of timber. The climate is
healthful as any on the continent, and to
sum the matter up in few words, this
part of Dakota is one of the most inviting
of any in the northwest.
The facilities for getting land are as
good as any one could ask. Government
land can he had from one and half to
three miles from the county seat, as good
wheat land as the sun shines upon, while
tree claims can be had within six miles OF
the county seat.
Since last May 1855 claims have been
taken, containing over 10000 acres OF
land, besides nearly 100000 acres sold by
the Northern Pacific railroad during the
same length of time. This showing gives
the public some idea of the attention that
Stutsman county is attracting, and as |
said there is still large amount Of gov
ernment land within from one and half
to three miles of jamestown, and the
railroad lands that will produce forty
bushels Of wheat to the acre.
Stutsman county was organized in 1873,
and is in prosperous condition, its total
debt being less than $500.
jamestown, the county scat of Stutsnan
county, is an interesting town, located
about the centre Of the county, at the
point where the Pipestonc flows into the
James river, and is on the Northern Pa
ciic railroad. 1t is the government ship
ping point for the Indian agency at Fort
Totten, and is doing fine business
The n. p. II. r., have here commo-
dious depot and round house.
Among the business firms of James
town are:
; J,P. Pond & Co., general merchandise
H. C. Miller & Co.. general mcrcllan

DO it Well.
Independent Farmer.

Independent Farmer
Do not try to put under the plow too
much land at once, but " hat you do cul-
tivate, do it we'll. The great drawback
to most of our western farmers, with small
means, is, that they try to cultivate too
much land, rather than too little, and in
this effort they neglect thorough work I,
and find, at the end of years of hard toll,
that they have made mistake. Eighty
acres we'll cultivated, is thousand times
better than 100 acres poorly managed.
The prosperity of Minnesota does not
depend upon her large farms, but upon
the carefully titled homes of men of mod.
crate means, who, little by little, force
from the soil, all it is capable of produc-
ing. Large farms are the results Of large
capital from the East, and when these
farms make returns that capital too often
seeks the source from whence it came :;
while small farms build up and enrich a
country by leaving in that country, what
money is made from the sales of their
productions. The moral of sll this is.
what you cultivate, let it be thorough and
we'll, and by all MEANS never 60 beyond
your means to do it. "A little farm we'll
titled" should be your motto, adding
thereto only such additional land as the
exigency of the case may require.

OUR YANKTON LETTER.
From We Editor.
YANKToN, ID. T., Jan. 80, 1879

DEAR ALERT:
Things are boiling in the Legislature at
present over several important measures,
and the two houses are more or less at
lock, measures originating in one house
having hard time in the other, and vice
versa. The local option license bill
passed the House yesterday morning, but
there will be an effort to reconsider the
bill. and amend it 50 as to make it more
stringent. If, however, it should not be
reconsiderei, it will come to the Council
to day, and there meet rock, as it is the
opinion of nearly every one that it will
be defeated On vote Of seven to SIX.
The Northern Dakota Members Of the
House, Burbank, Gray and Shelley, voting
against the bill. In the Council we think
that the Coun linen from our section will
vote in the same manner. The vote in
the House was 19 to Z in favor of the
bill.
The bill to reduce the present exemp-
ton act comes up to-day in the Council,
when it's friends will try to put It on its
feet, it being nearly floored by motion
to indefinitely postpone, which was cut
off by some sharp parliamentary practice.
We do not think that it will ever pass
the Council, but if it does it will catch
Jessie in the House and killed and burn.
ed, as it ought to be.
Council Bill No. II, which has passed
both houses. is in our opiuion a step
step backwards IN legislation, as it reduc
es the protection that the present laws
throws about the married woman. And
Council Bill No. 1S, now pending, is a
step in the same direction.
Mr.. r. McNider will introduce shortly
a Bill for an Act for Registry of Voters,
which will be good thing for the ter
ritory.
The question that will make our legis'
lators put on their thinking caps, is the
apportionment of the territory, it will
take about 1900 votes to elect Council
man, and half that number to elect repre-
sentatives, and there will be considerable
trading among the Legislators to secure a
handsome representation tor their Sec
tions. .-
The bill for an insane asylum is being
postponed in an opposed and shameful
manner, when public policy demands an
immediate action in order to protect the

states for the care of the insane expires

AN OLD 'UN.

Some two years ago a physician in
Secretary Evarts' tavorite village OF
Windsor, VT, was called to visit Il pa
tient living some miles out OF the village.
He drove out. and as he was hitchIng
his horse tho door opened and a young
woman with 4 child in her arms came
out. They greeted each other. and she
said, "Oh, you are the doctor; come to
see grandmother. She's pretty sick.
You'll find her in the house, He went
in and found Il woman about forty, who
said. "Oh, you are the doctor. You will
find grandmother in that way In the
room to which he was directed he found
an aged. white-haired lady lying on the
bed, with her face the other way. She
was quite deaf. and did not notice his
approach until he sat down and began
to feel her pulse. She turned and said,
"Oh. you are the doctor. I'm not sick
1t is mother you want to see. You will
find her in that ROOM SO into the
next room he passed. and at last was in
the presence OF his patient. whose daugh-
ter, granddaughter, great granddaugh-
ter and great-great- granddaughter he
had encountered. He found her so re-
duccd by disease and old age (she was
ninety-seven) that he saw no chance OF
her living more than week. He TOLD
the family so, but at their request left
medicines and directions. Some three
weeks after he was driving by and saw
an old lady picking mp chips. He pulled
up his horse, intending to ask when his
patient had died, when she looked up
and said, "Oh. you are the doctor who
came to see me when l was so sick. -
She is still living, as 'chipper" an old
lady of ninety nine as you will often see.

River Raisln, in 1873, wrote to him
and asked of him to give me the partic-
