We have heard several complaints
recently of cattle breaking into gardens
and door yards about the city. Surely,
something should be done to prevent this
nuisance. People don't want to set up
all night to dog cattle oft their premises.

One Of Newry's citizens received
good lesson in temperance at Austin on
the Fourth. He lmo!ocd t." '"uv', uf
the beverage that exhllerates, and lay
down in some secluded spot to sleep of
the effects of said beverage. During his
siesta, some Of the light-ingered gentry
relieved him of all further care of five
dollars. "But people will drink you
neutrality-suspicious. Albert Lea En-
terprlse.
MIR. Brown, the mind-reader, gave IN
entertainment on Monday evening, at
Jones hall. The euening was very hot
one, and many were deferred from going
on that account. However, he had fair
audience. Many who attended were very
much pleased, while a few, who expected
only "fun," were disappointed. Mr..
Brown We consider gentleman, and as
mind reader, 4 success.
The barley harvest is pretty much
out of the way. The crop IS very good,
and has been secured in fine condition.
The hay crop was never better, and the
weather has been just light for securing it
IN good order. In some sections, farmers
have already commenced whcat-cutting,
and next week will see them almost uni
versally at it. Oats, corn and potatoes
are looking finely, and very sure 10 yield
abundantly.
&C. w. Van Dusen & Co., grain deal
ers, have issued circular this week, to
their agents along the lines of the rail
loads, instructing them in the purchase
Of barley, and prohibiting them from
purchasing any harley that has not gone
through tue sweating process before
threshing. The firm holds that the prac-
hce prevalent among many farmers to
cut and thresh their barley without stack
ing 1t IS disastrous way to do. Grain
thus prepared for market would be con-
demned as soon as it reached Chicago,
therefore none of that quality will be
purchased, and farmers will con suit their
own interests by stacking their barley
and allowing it to sweat prior to thresh-
ing.-Rochester Post.
"A shooting scrapc, We understand,
happened at the building on the other
side Of the river known as the "Stone
Fort" recently. We should like to know
il there is my law that can reach these
places whose steps lead down to hell, and
put a stop 20 their vile business. We are
ready with what inArenc We may have,
to aid in exposing and Furnishing the MIS-
tresses of these establishments, and their
patrons, more particularly whether they
be friends or enemies. Persons who
claim to be respectable must keep their
skirts clean if they do not wish the dis
grace of an exposure.
