one of his legs broken in two places
short time ago, neal. st. Louis. He is
in the hospital at that place now.
We expect to have the pleasant OPP
portnnity of attending what is a rare
occurrence in this part Of the country
"a rousing old-fashioned wedding
the first Of next week. | will let your
readers know more about it after kiss
the pleasant little bride, and dream
over piece Of wedding cake.
Some lazy fellow, having no regard
for the seventh Commandment, nor fear
for the civil law, nor much respect for
the rights of his fellow man, stole all
the wood from the Larrabee school,
house, one night, a short time ago.
Lazy, I say, because he waited till they
sawed it up for him. Pity one of his
horses made mule tracks, they would
not have suspected who it was if it had
not been for that oversight in the thief.
Your correspondent noticed that
when the Editor Of the REVIEW visit
ed Sleepy Eye last week he had to pay
for his dinner and cigars just the same
as any common man. think it served
him right, for his modesty. If he had
splurged around and gone up and wrote
his name on the register with all the
titled appendages that rightfully be.
long to it, to-wit: Jos. Bobleter, Edi-
tor of New Ulm Review, PM. at New
Ulm, Major of Militia, Pharmacist
and proprietor of the City Drug Store,
&C., then the host of the Revere House
would have known who you were and
treated you in proportion to your true
Importance. So, I say served you right,
if you had made yourself known am
sure the proprietor of the Revere
House would have treated you better
than the Town Council at Cork treated
Gen. Grant.
I will make a few remarks about our
law makers, for the information of the
small boys who read the Review. 10
point out popularity that perhaps no
other Legislature possesses in the U. S.
Namely: that amongst the forty-one
! Senators and one hundred and six Rep
resentatiyes not one was born in
this State. Of the Senators two
were born in Ireland, three in Norway,
two in Sweden, one in Germany, four
in the British Provinces, and eleven
or, over one-fourth, were born in New
York. Occupation of Senators: Eleven
are farmers, seven are lawyers, three
are doctors, five are merchants and two
are editors. Nativity Of Representa-.
tives: Eleven were born in Germany,
eight in Ireland, three in Sweden, and
eleven in Norway and twenty-five were
born in New York. just one fourth Of
the members of both houses came from
New York. Principal occupation Of
the members Of the lower house: There
are eleven lawyers, five doctors, twelve
merchants, and 81 farmers; so over
half the Representatives are honest
sons of toll and tillers of the soil. Read
their doings, and watch them, boys.
Our Iberia literary Debating Society
has added another pleasant feature to
their entertainments: They have es-
tablished newspaper to be read at
their meetings also select reading and
defamation; the whole makes pleas
ant evenings entertainments. Their
newspaper had some good articles-on
various subjects, J. Gilifllan, editor,
and Ed. Cromlett. associate editor.
The subject before the house for debate
was: Resolved, that Washington de-
served more credit for defending this
| Country than Columbus for discover.

Washington's good qualities in glowing
colors, his perseverance, his fortitude,
courage, piety and learning. He could
not see many good qualities in Colum.

thought Columbus had more pluck than
Washington, for he rode a bob-tailed

Louie Guby gave very precise and
detailed account of Columbus voyages

only one who showed very profound
I knowledge of the history of the subject
they were dealing with. Ed. Crumlett
said his fore-fathers had discovered
America SEQ years before Columbus
did. It seems some of the society had
