Editor Of the Gazette:
The Village of Redwood Falls is to be
congratulated and has good reason to
pride itself upon the succession of able
and educated Clergymen who have
ministered in its pulpits.
The discourse which was delivered on
Sunday evening last in the Methodist
Church by its 'Parson-Rev. c. S. H.
Dunn, was notable for its matter and the
manner of its eloquent delivery-sn
honor to the heart and head of its author.
The text was from Proverbs: ''See
the man diligent in business, he shall
stand before Kings" And the exhibition
of keen observation. appreciation and
judgment of the breadth and opportuni.
tics of Business. in all its branches, fol
the development and practice of integri-
ty, justice and charity, in the ful6llment
of Christian character. was remarkable IN
so young man az the preacher; and
was quite as much as need be looked for il
one of maturcst age.
1t is to be regretted that such sermons
cannot be heard in great Churches by
great congregations; and it is hoped that
this one. will have further hearing in
large and appreciative assemblages Of
men. 1t is good stock to keep for thu
future, and will not deteriorate. It il
scarcelv tn he Iloubted that Mr.. Dunn.
discourse was as gladdening to all who
heard it as it was to

DIED.

In Redwood FAN. this morning, at g
O'Clock NANNI. G. BusHNELL aged II
years and . months-only Daughter of
Byron Z. and Marian R. Bushnell.
Mamie Bushnell 10 dead. How many
friends she knew! and how many friends
knew herl Dear little Girl, she was loved
far and wide by. all who knew her. For
more than three years and half she has
been the grievously afflicted victim of
that most insidious disorder known by
the Medical men a. ''Aneurism Of the
Carotid Artery. It was pronounced In
durable from the first and yet she has
survived its virulent assaults 30 long, suf-
fering at intervals, through the whole Pc
Rod. the most agonizing pains and tor
ture conceivable. From first to last her
fortitude, patience and accomplishing
endurance have been marvellous! No
Soldier dying on the field of battle ever
exhibited more distinguished heroism.
Young as she was, she has fought the
good fight and kept the faith"-dying, as
she had lived, in the purest simplicity of
assured Christian faith.
Her death is blessed relief to herself,
but Oh! what an affection to her sadly
bereaved parents. They have however
the surcst testimonials of the deep SYM
pathy Of their friends and. above all, the
inward assurance of the fulfillment of all
the duties of the most affectionate par
entail obligations.
Mamie was born on the 4th of June,
1868, died nth of March, 1880.
Anna, daughter OF John and Luperla
Ensign. died at Walnut Grove, MIMI,
Feb. 26th, 1880. of Inflammation of the
bowels. aged seventeen years. six months
and three days.
There have been many sad hearts in the
Village of Walnut Grove during the past
winter, caused by the death olso many
childred from diphtheria but the death
of no person who has heretofore died
there is so generally and sincerely felt to
be a loss by. and to, the whole communi-
~ as Annals. She was faithful Chris
tian. She is missed in the church, in the
sunday school, in the Good Templars'
Lodge, and in Society, but nowhere so
much as in her own home, and especially
by her Mother, who could not be com.
forted were it not for the Christians
hope.

A Card to the Public.

There have been several statements
published in the Gazette showing that
the County Treasurer was deficient
$1O99.68 but never a word stating the
reason why. Now the publishing of
such statement by the Board without
once mentioning the cause of the defic-
iency l consider unjust. Therefore in
justice to myself think it no more than
fair that the reason should be known.
The vault of the county was robbed on
the night of the 9th of May 1879. of 5000.
&C, that amount being about two thirds
of the collection of the day. The rest
being in checks. money orders. ETC., was
not taken.
The loss of the money has been to me
source of great annoyance and expense,
as have already paid out over $500 in
my endeavor to recover the same. but
have been unsuccessful thus far. All
that ask is that the truth be known in
regard to the matter.

The Gem Puzzle" or Fifteen Game"
has reached here and is exciting the same
attention it has elsewhere. The appara-
tus consists Of sixteen little squares of
wood, numbered consecutively from one
to sixteen, aud fitting exactly in ashallow
square box. In use the number 16 is re-
moved, and there is one blank space left,
which allows the blocks to slide one
square at time. and they are to be thus
arranged without removing them from
the box. The fifteen squares being mix
ed and placed Unfortunately in the
box, the problem is to arrange them in
regular arithmetical series.
Some who have tried it say it can no,
be done but Messrs Peter Ortt. VIM.
Simmons and Till Tibbetts have been
very successful in their efforts. Mr.
Tibbetts says he is willing to wager $10t
that he can form the combination every
time in eighteen moves.
Any one can make the game for him
self by cutting the little squares from 4
cigar box. or by dividing the bottom Of I
square pasteboard box. first into quarter
and then into sixteenths and using thu
lid Of the box, which will of course JUS
contain them. Or it can be played with
counters on quarter-section Of q check
er-board. The game a. It is sold in tn,
shops, however, Is convenient, and i
can be had anywhere for quarter. O
even less.

Mr.. Robert Watson has just received
for his circulating library A Fools En-
rand by One of the Fools, published by
Fords, Howard & Hubert, New York
It is one of the most intensely interesting
books we have ever read. To describe
it's merits at this time would be but to
repeat what has already been said by
every one who has been 50 fortunate as
to peruse it. The author writes anony-
monsly and narrates the experience of a
Union officer, who at the close of the late
war bought a plantation in the South
and moved there with his family. The
mistakes of the wise men" at Washing.
ton. who hoped to reconstruct the late
rebels by acts of Congress, and the at
tempts of Southern men by their Kuklux
organizations to prohibit the expression
of any political opinions that did not
agree with theirs are severely criticised.
But we have not the space to attempt a
criticism. Take our advice and read the
book. and you will not only pass your
time pleasantly and probably but will
find much to make you solicitous about
the future welfare of our country.

A SADLY SOLEMN THouGHT AS rule
Indians do not give open expression to their
feelings A settler in the far West giving a
little dinner party, invited thereto few half
civilized Indians, who displayed desire to
" go through the bill of fare. A young
chief, after cycling the mustard curiously for
some time. helped himself to good spoonful
and swallowed 1t. He said nothing to betray
his establishment; but despite himself the
tears rolled very freely down his cheeks.
An aged chief who was sitting opposite
asked what he was crying about, and was
grayely informed he was thinking of his poor
old father, who died short time ago. Pres
emily the old fellow took asdip from the
mustard pot, and his eyes likewise proved too
weak or too strong for his will. Then his
young friend, in sympathizing tone, inquir-
ed the case of his grief. Said the beguiled
one 81 was thinking it was pity you
didn'tdie when your father did,"
