have been asked why don't write
oftener for the Review. Well, the
reason is, I am one Of those unfortu.
nate cusses who are compelled to earn
their bread by the sweat of their brow.
Ceaseless unremitting toll is the price
of my daily bread, so don't have a
moment Of leisure time to write; and
then again I think when the Review
comes to hand the space that l would
occupy is used to better advantage.
This town is making great efforts in
the cause of education. There has
been three large frame school houses
built in this town this spring. The
humble old quail trap has been super.
seeded by a fine building 24x32, and it
was dedicated a few evenings ago to
the noble cause of learning by J. Gill.
fallen who delivered one of his charac-
teristic sky rocket lectures. They had
to open the windows to allow the mete-
ORIG fragments to pass out or the glass
would have been all shattered and
scattered to the four minds and tie
pieces never could have been collected
SO as to make any thing out of them
again. Like all his lectures, it was 4.
sumner.
Our own school house is not yet fin.
ished but we hope it soon will be SO we
will have a place of worship, where the
pious people can pour forth the pent up
gratitude of their hearts in feryent
prayer and sing peans of praise to the
living God.
Two weeks ago drove of $50 head
of cattle passed through this place on
their way to Fort Abercrombee, and
last week 900 head passed through go
ing to Iowa. The latter lot were bought
up in Renville Co.
Mike3 Dinneen says he has got the
most dutiful and affective gobbler in
this State. He has devoted nearly four
weeks in keeping for his female mate
/ in her lonely duty of incubation, and
has never left her sight but sits by her
day and night comforting and encour-
aging her in her natural and laudable
efforts to raise family. Part of the
time he insists on having half the eggs
so in case of any trouble in the family
hereafter he will have legal right to
one half the product of their tedious
toll. This gobbler is model for the
best of husbands.
Last Sunday, June LIST, was a day of
general jubilee amongst Father Sand
meyers large congregation, as it was
the occasion Of a class of forty young
boys and girls receiving their first
communion. The Rev. and indefatig.
able Father had been giving the child
rem instructions for several weeks pre-
paratory to this happy occasion. The
girls were all tastefully dressed in
white and their heads crowned with
white walls and evergreen wreaths,
They marched in pairs to the altar r,
bearing lighted candles in their hands,
where they knelt to receive the holy
sacrament of the eucharist. On each
side of the passage to the altar stood a
row of beautiful little girls holding
lighted tapers symbolic Of the light OF
christian youths to take the first stel
towards happy Immortality. The
church was tssstefully Ornamented with
1 green wreaths reaching from the cell
ing and extending around the whole
building The windows of the church
Wefe stained in artistic style for this
happy occasion as we'll as for all future
time. The artist that done this credit
able piece of work is a gentleman from
! New Ulm.
4 see the Hide Awnke man is trying
to draw the REVIEW into controversy
over the county seat business. HI
commenced by saying parties were cir
culating petitions to trade off part
of our county but he don't state wher,
the petitions will be sent to, whether
to Yakoob Khan or CityWayo. be
believe it to be a useless chimeria O.
his own brain having no foundation
whatever. He appears to want to ere
ste some excitement so as to make hi
paper interesting to his few readers
but, as Senator Davis said about til,
( party strife of the two old gladiatoria
parties in Congress, the people are il
!: no mood for that kind of policies now
I think the people of this county ar
more interested at present to pay III
their present private Indebtedness be
: fore they will assume any more debts
. especially of a public character. Mos
!, Iof them need a new house to cove
their own heads more than they nee
another court house or jail. The Gala
boose will do Sleepy Eye for some year
to come.
