tions are out for the celebration of the
twenty-ffth wedding day Of DR.. ]. N
Wheat and wife, and, too, for the very
sensib hour of six O'Clock P. NJ. one
week from to-day. The DR.. and HE

The Helen Potter Plelades appe AIRED
in Austin ON Saturday evening before
fair but delighted audience. No better
entertainment vas ever given in this city.
The business manager aud performers
are gentlemen and ladies at all times and
in all places, aud their programme is per
feet and complete. Each one of these sew
en- stars deserve special mention, and each
one could give satisfactory entertain
ment alone. Austin was not only Salts
fed but delighted, and we wish her Cit
liens had been more largely represented
| at the entertainment.
| We have before us a sample of Gray
| Willow growth, furneshed us by w. D.
Medbery, of Dexter, IN this county-cne
Of three years and one of eight. They
are certainly remarkable specimens of
rapid growth. The appearance Of this
timber, and the evidence of its desirable
i,y, as furnished US by Mr.. NJ, warrants
us in recommending it as just the timber
to grow on our prairies, and we wish
every one of our farmer subscribers could
see the specimens. Farmers and land
owners should send TO Mr. Medbery for
his circular, which tells all about the
Gray Willow, mode of culture, origin,
its value for fuel, &c.
The trustees Of the High Forest
Seminary have recently elected Rev. L.
Hall Principal of that institution of learn
ing. Mr.. Hall will be remem bered as the
pastor of the NJ E. church of this city a
few years ago. We are glad to learn that
this seminary is gaining a first class rep.
utation. 1t is open to students of both
sexes, and is the only college or semina.

Methodist friends in Austin and vicinity |
who wish to patronlze an institution un-
der the control of their own denomina-
ton should not forget the seminary at
High Forest, just over the line in Olms:ed !

who seemed to feel that he was specially
"called" to the work of soliciting sub
scriptions for the building of Baptist
church for the colored people of Lincoln,
Neb., must have been mistaken in regard |
to the facts. A letter written to the Jour-
nal, of Caledonia, by the pastor of the
First Baptist church of Lincoln, pro-
nounc2s him fraud, he having been
travelling for them year and half with.
ont reporting himself or funds. He
proves to be "gay deceiver," and should
be widely published and stopped. He
preached IN the Baptist church in this
city about three months ago. Look out
for him.
