has given Mr.. Chas. Kittleson, d

candidate for State Treasurer, q.
sgainst which we would have moth.
ing to say, FIVE had not candidate
for the same position of our own,
whose claims for the honor Of a re.

convention we submit to the con.
sideration Of the Republicans Of the
State.
Col. VIM. Pfender has been a
citizen of the United States for 81
years and Of this State and county
for % years. He came here when
Brown county contained but hand
full Of white men, and was untiring
in his efforts to help develop this
section Of the State. Politically he
was a Freesoiler before he came here
from Ohio, and after taking on ac-
tive part in the campaign for the
first election of Abraham Lincoln,
he enlisted in September 1861 in
the First Minnesota battery to as
sist in defending the principles
which he had advocated during the
preceding political canvass. He
remained in the service to the close
of the war, since which time he has
in several honorary positions con-
tinued to prove himself worthy Of
the esteem Of every body, and to-day
is a most efficient and faithful Off
Ger Of our State government.
If the citizens of Freedom county
have honored their follow citizen
with an election to the Office of
county treasurer for six successive
terms, we cannot see why any OBJ
lection should be raised against as
worthy a man as Col. Pfander when
a third term is asked for him, and
not asked on the ground Of national
ity, but on his merits alone. We
may be permitted to state, however,
that we are satisfied the nomination
of our candidate would not only
please the people ofhis own county,
but would be hailed with pleasure BY
the German American citizens Of
the State. s -. ....s .s-.@ -. ~.

We have received from Hon. j..
P. Jacobson, Commissioner Of Sta

age and yield Of the principal cereals
and the sugar cane of the State for
the year 1878; also, the acreage Of
same crops growing in 1879, as com.
piled from official returns of the town
assessors and county auditors, from
which we make the following ex.
tract:

Wheat 2,3e8,55e 29, 1856, 900. 2,755, 900

A Pretty Window Transparency.

To make pretty window transparency,
one novel and inexpensive, follow these
directions: Take small, round, thin
wooden plate and scrape the center with
a penknife so that on holding it up to
the light, it seems almost transparent.
Then dash halfaeross the inner part of
the plate coating of blue paints and ii
the center draw ship with sails out
spread, which must be colored brown.
When held up to the light, it has the
appearance of ship on the ocean seen
in the twilight, for the light shining
through the centre which has been
scraped, looks the glimmer in the sky
from departed sun, and brings into
relief the vessels from. A hole is bored
on the edge above and blue ribbon
inserted, by which the plate may be sus-
pended over window, or elewhere, as
may seem convenient. Sometimes these
little plates are used as menu cards,
having the names of the guests inscribed
on the upper portion. They are taken
away and suspended afterwards as
mementos of the occasion
