Us. Marshal r.. N. AIcLaren was in
town last Wednesday to look after per-
sons who had violated the revenue
law. The Marshal left for st. Paul on
Thursday morning accompanied by
Two who were supposed to have en-
gagged in tire crookedness. One of these
was from the upper country, while the
other e., was from this city,.

/ A man from theupper portion Of Mic
ollet county, who accompanied MARSHAL
McLaren to St Paul last Thursday
morning, as u witness against Il certain
party of Renyille county, returned to
this city on Friday morning; but be-
7 fore starting for his home he partook
rather freely Of lager ut one OF the sd
looms, and consequently got into rather
high spirits. He was ousted from the
saloon several times, but always re.
turned, when, finally, Marshal Gommel
was sent for; but on the arrival OF the
latter the spirited man made tracks
for the pontoon bridge at 4 rate far
exceeding that of the Marshal, and
consequently escaped without being
captured.
Having occasion to make a trip to
Fl. Ridgely during the middle part of
{ last week, we made some observations
and enquiries in relation to the crops
along the route. We found that there
was more or less blight in many of the
wheat fields, especially in low and
level places. Some Of the early sown
wheat seemed to have suffered more
than that sOWn later. In many places
the grain was rather thin and also very
weedy. But then, there were other
fields where the wheat stood thick, the
heads well filled and seemingly almost
free from blight. Corn and oats look.
ed excellent nearly every place. Har-
vesting of rye and barley was in full
blast in nearly all directions. ..5 .
The Madelia Tunes reports the
drowning of q young man named Aug
ust Durhem, aged Is years, who resid-
ed in the town OF Riverdale, Waton-
wan county. He was bathing in the
4 Watonwan river ON Sunday, the 18th
inst, and was an excellent swimmer;
but he must have been seized with
cramps us he sank Immediately and
his companions thinking he was in
sport did not come to his relief until
too late.
4 This accident ought to serve us a
4 warning to many who are or consider
themselves good swimmers, not to VEN
tnre out into deep water far from the
shore OF from companions, as it has
often happened that tlle best of swim
mers have been drowned by being tax
en- with cramps. s zssl.8.ls.
Il Is it not about time that vigorous
, steps be taken to prevent tile promis-
& cuous shooting and carrying of fire
arms by hosts of half.grown boys in
j our city?; Things seem to be coming to
a such 4 pass that it is often unsafe for
] any person to travel, even along our
most freqrented thoroughfares with
out being fired upon. It seems that
with the shooting affair Of last year
and also that occurring during the last
fourth of July, fresh in the minds Of
d everyone, ought to teach boys to let
dangerous weapons alone, or at least
. exercise great care while using them.
But, on the contrary, there seems to
be much larger number Of pistols and
revolyers among boys, and also greater
carelessness in handling them. On
Saturday last, Mr.. II. Vajen, while
walking along an alley in the central
portion|o of the city, had a very narrow
. escape from one of these random shots.
q tAs certain yonngster was trying his
revolver, in doing which he aimed al
i 4 board in the fence, but the ball miss
ed its mark and passed close in front
Of Nh. Vajen. Now, when such gross
. reckl ess.less is tolerated without any
