Every farmer knows how annoying it
is to have his farm made public highway,
and we should think that they would SYM
pathize with Mr.. Ezra Truesdell sufficiently
regard his notice and not travel at random,
through his fields. They know that there
is no road through his farm, yet they dive
through as if they had a right to do SO;
even tearing down the fence to get in.
There is no necessity for that kind of thing
and we would advise those who have been
keeping it up that they will find it hard
and expensive road to travel and they had
better take some other route without
further notice.

To the Public.

Attention is called to the fact tina,
there is great deal of filth in the streets
and alleys of the Village; also wood
and stables. The sidewalks
are INSTRUCTED and in many cases torn W
and the streets and walks covered with
building material without the written
permission of the Street Commissioner
as required by the ordinances.
Notice is hereby given that, if these
distractions are not removed within q
reasonable time, the Village will proceed
to have them removed at the expense OF
the parties causing the same.

Redwood Falls, April 22d 1879.
The Rochester Record contains com.
munication, signed P. NJ. E. dated at
Redwood Falls, in which reference is
made to the pamphlet recently issued,
descriptive Of Redwood County. for the
purpose of discrediting some of the state
ments made therein. The following is
quoted from the pamphlets; ut is con
sidered there is timber enough to meet
the wants of the county for an indefinite
number of years for fuel. fence-posts,
etc etc" ?. N. E. does not say, direct
", that the statement is incorrect but re-
lates a conversation which he had held
with an old friend, former resident of
Olmestead County, now living in Red
wood County, who burns hay and adds
that comments on the two statements
are unnecessary.
The object of the writer of the Red.
wood County pamphlet was to state
facts. Having set forth the truth in re-
gard to timber within the limits Of the
county, his responsibility ended. 1t was
no part of his mission to follow up the
hay burners from Olmstead county, who
brought their social and economic habits
with them, and readjust their methods of
living. If Olmstead County people,
when they come here to live, prefer hay
to wood for fuel we will not quarrel with
them. The elevation of any race or
class is slow and gradual. What we do
object to is, the insinuation of p NJ E,
that his Olmstead County friend burned
hay from necessity when it was purely a
matter of choice, founded on the habits
and experience OF years. The statement
contained in the Redwood County pam
phlet is entirely truthful and we defy the
Record correspondent, or any one else,
to show that there is misstatement OF
an exageration in it in regard to timber
or anything else.

The Swift Witness.
Detroit Free Press


Tom Gains was what you call a swift wit
ness When Tom was for feller he was for
him all over, and he was so friendly and con-
fiding the Judge didn't know what to do with
him. Last court Lawyer Branham put Tom
upon the stand to prove that drinking man
couldn't remember what he did when he was
drunk. Tom had taken about two drains that
morning and was feeling splendid. He swore
straight out that he couldn't.
The Judge didn't like that He didn't like
witnesses who were so willing and familiar,
and so he put few questions to Tom from the
bench.
'Mr. Gains, weren't you drunk yesterday,
[Sunday?'1
"rhey say 1 was, your Honor"
"And you don't remember it?''
'It's sorter like dream, your Honor; but
do remember L was awfnlly sick last night.
Chow are you now, Mr.. Gains?"
'I am tolabe well, / thank you, Judge; how
do YOU do, yourself?" and Tom bowed humbly,
for he thought the Judge was kindly inquiring
after his health.
hilarity, the Judge said; "Mr. Gains, you were
drunk Yesterday, which was Sunday. Now,
where did you find your whisky
I'm the jug. Judge-right in the jug"
"Well, sir, where was the jug?'
"Under the fodder-stack, Judge: L always
keep it there, or in the shuck pen; and, if your
Honor ever passes that way, it's free thing
to-"
''Mr. Gains, you can retire, sir. L believe
you are the same man who about thirty years ago
testified in this court house that Jim Wilkins
bit his own ear off. -
"They say did, JUDGE, but you know was
drunk and of course don't remember it. You
was defending Jack Boozer for biting off Jim
wilkins ear, and you told me that in the
scrimmage Jack showed Jim up agin the sharp
edg of the door and the door cut it off; but
YOU see, Judge, 1 got drunk and forgot what
you told me, and l s'pose l did swear that VIII
kins bit his ear off himself; and it wasn't so
unreasonable nohow, for he had the awfulest
mouth that ever was seed-didn't he, Judge?"
''Mr Gains, told you to sit down, sir Mr..
Sheriff, give me the names of those gentlemen
who are so hilarious; I'll see if L can't stop
their merriment Brother Branham, put up
YOUR next witness.

Choosing of the Electors by the
Legislature.
To The Editor Of The Press

10 the EdttOF OF We FTeSS:
What means this furry which we see in the
newspapers about choosing the electors OF the
President by the Legislature? Is the course
advocated as something desirable in itself, as
likely to lead to better results, and give fair
er expression of the peoples will? Right the
reverse of this. For Legislature to enact
that the Legislature shall choose the electors is
a little too much like the action of some of the
English constituencies in olden times who had
the nomination of members of the House of
Commons, and who were so few in number
that the chairman had to make the motion,
the clerk to second it, and the other member
of ''the quorum of three" received the election.
The election by the Legislature, say, is lit
tie too much like this to be practced in Re-
public. And we see by the reasons presented
for resOrting to it, viz: that by so doing this
party or that will be sure to gain the next
Presidential election, that the object is TO take
an unfair advantage of the present state oil the
existing parties in the different States, and Sc
cure the election by cheating the people out oil
their RIGHT To vote for the chief officers of the
nation. What could be more anti-Republican,
or unconstitutional, may add? The second
section of the fourteenth amendment author
ICES the reduction of the representation in Cons
gress of any State in proportion to the number
of mature male citizens in it who are denied
the right to cote for electors. And how can the
citizens of State be denied that right more
etfectually than by passing an act that the cleo
tors shall be chosen by the Legislature and
hence that the people shall not vote Tor th emY
Such an aCt renders the exercise OF tNe lS1I
beyond their power. ANA is passed for precisely
this purpose, as every one knows. WHY sho uid
not the provisions of the amendment be carried
out in such State? a. l. "
The Portland daily press., 1879-12-10

THE Providence Journal, in the course of
an excellent article on the political situation
in this State, remarks:
"Those who affect to scout in advance Sena-
tor Carpenters warning of what the Demo-
cratic majority in Congress may attempt to do
in the way of counting in their candidate for
President, may very well have their attention
called to what is going on in Maine. 1t will
be readily imagined that, if such plot was at
tempted in Maine, where the Democratic par
ty is in such small minority, and for such
petty prize as the Governorship and the con-
troll of the State administration, how much
more likely such a scheme will be, where the
party may claim that it is in numerical ma
iority in the United States, and where the
prize is the Presidency and the power and pat
ronage of the national administration. 10 shut
our eyes to the possibility of such an endeayor
on the part of the Democratic majority in Con-
gress is to ignore their action III relation to the
Electoral bill, the character and utterances of
the leaders, the temptations of the prize, and
the feeling of revenge and reprisal, and in
short to be as wilfully blind as before the war
to the dangers of secession after the threats of
the Southern leaders and the necessities of
slavery. We need not go into eXtravagant
alarm about it, but to pass it as an idle chimera
is an insult to prudent intelligence. So long
as it is probable or even possible, it is to be
considered and guarded against as if it were
certain, and the best way to do that is to give
such a majority for the Republican candidates
as that not even the most desperate partisan
will dare to make the attempt to defeat the
popular will

The Strange Story of Bank Note.

''Not long ago." says the London Daily Tele-
graph, ga well-known collector of curioSties in
Paris who had devoted considerable sums of
money to the gathering together of bank-notes
of all values, became the possessor of a bank
of England note to which an unusually strange
story was attached. This note was paid into q
Liverpool merchants office III the ordinary
Wav OF business 81 years ago, and its recipient,
the cashier of the firm, while holding it up to
the light to test its genuineness, noticed some
faint red marks upon it which, on close exam
nation, proved to be semi-effaced words,
scrawled in blood between the printed lines
and upon the bla nix margin of the note. Ex-
traordinary pains were taken to decipher these
partly obliterated characters, and eventually
the following sentence was made out: If this
note should fall into the hands of John Dean
of Long Hill, near Carlisle, he will learn here
by that his brother is languishing a prisoner in
Algiers." Mr.. Dean was promptly communi-
Gated with by the holder of the note, and he
appealed to the government of the day for
assistance in his endeavor to obtain his broth
er's release from captivity. The prisoner, who,
as it subsequently appeared, had traced the
above sentence upon the note with splinter
of wood dipped in his own blood, had been a
slave to the Dey of Algiers for II years, when
this strange missive first attracted attention in
a Liverpool counting house. His family and
friends had long believed him dead Eventu-
ally his brother, with the aid Of the British au-
thorities in the Mediterranean, succeeded in
ransoming him from the Dey and brought him
home to England, where, however, he did not
long survive his release, his constitution having
been irreparably injured by exposure, priva-
tions and forced labor in the Dey's galleys.

How Theopbile Gautier Got Up
His Opinions.

Once upon time as Dupre and Theophile
Gautier were talking together Gautier observed
of Claude Lorraine: "Claude is greatly over
rated painter; the best of his works that ever
| saw are only fit for fans and fire-screens. His
pretended genius is an immense practical joke
that has been played on our credulity for two
centuries" Dupre, passionate admirer of
the great artist, sat stupeiied. IF you are not
in fun, Gautier," he said, "ifyou are not mere
L. maintaining one of your absurd paradoxes,
[ should just like to give you my opinion of
Claude the first time you have all hour to
spare" Nothing more was said at the time,
but few days later DuprG met Gautier at a
wine-shop they both frequented, and said:
''Wel, you hereto, do you still hold by YOUR
absurd opinion that Claude never painted any
thing but fans and fire-sCreens?' II do, can
didly and conscientiously." Thereon Dupr6,
the eloquent enthusiast, touched to the quick
on one of his tenderest spots, took up his para
BILE. He gave a long lecture on light, color,
harmony, the beauties of Lorraine, his per-
spective, his magical half-tints, his shadows,
his luminous style; he warmed, grew hot,
talked, thundered, and Gautier listened, smll-
ing, unmoved, unconvinced a few days later
Dupre was stupefed on taking up review TO
find an article by Gauter on Claude, in which
everything he had said was reproduced IN
Gagtier's most nervous, orig aud plctu-
rescue style. t'The critic, says Alfred Sensl-
er ''had neither eye nor opinion-he was a
blind man feeling for dog'
