Curious Vegetable Blossom in q
Grave.

Some 80 years ago, says the Taunton
Gazette, an interment was made in 4
cemetery in Swansey, Mass, in which
the grave was laid with bricks at tho
sides and bottom and covered with q
fiat stone, Theoretically sealed. Some
Is years subsequent the friends had &C.
casion to open the grave for the purpose
OF removing the body to another place
OF sepulcher. On reaching the coffin
most singular sight presented itself.
Its entire surface, top, bottom and sides,
was overgrown with thrcad-like vine,
millions of fibers of which had entwined
themselves together as completely a.
though braided by artificial means,
forming netting one inch in thickness,
and its entire surface as even as though
pressed out by some heavy weight. The
ends were not covered, and tho coffin
had gone to decay, but was kept togeth-
er and raised from its resting-place and
deposited in box intact through the
adhesion of the vine above mentioned.
A piece of it, about six inches square,
was cut off, and is now in the possession
of the father of the deceased, Mr.. VIM.
II. Wood of Swansey, in an excellent
state Of preservation. Its color was
dark brown. 1t is we'll worth examine
ton. With no earth in the grave, it is q
question of some interest where those
vines took their origin.

New Ulm, July q, 1880.
knowing that there is a good deal
of talk about the court house site, by
people who don't know and by people
who don't want to know, it may not be
entirely out of way to explain the real
status of the case.
Last winter the fact was brought
to our knowledge that the county
board had neglected to secure title
to the site on which the county build
ings were built. AS soon as we found
that out, it became ourduty to enquire
into the matter and to secure title,
if one could be had. We instructed
the county attorney TO look the mat
ter up, and we also instructed the
chairman of the board to confer with
the city authorities about the matter.
The city authorities have declared
their willingness to give lease for
the term of 80 years with the proviso
in it " That in case the county seat
should be removed within that time
from this city, the lease should cease
to be of effect and be null and void
Now the county attorney informs us,
that as the city itself is only holding a
trust deed and, this is the best of title,
the city had in it's power to give, but as
we could not see, that such a lease
would lie any improvement to the pres
ent status of the case, the board de-
cljned to accept it. 10 secure a per-
feet title to the court house site was
the ouly motive on the part of this
board in bringing this matter up.
Now we have found, that it is beyond
our power to correct the blunder oul
predecessors committed in erecting
the county buildings on such a site
and we have to leave it as it is, an6
let the responsibility rest where it be
longs. Ole Jorgensen.

Horse Thieves Around.

AS is usual at this time of year, the
State is swarming with lot of lazy,
shiftless tramps who are ever ready to
commit Il crime for the sake of person
al gain. In daytime they go around
the country apparently looking for
work and during the night, when the
weary farmer is soundly sleeping, they
follow their vocation of plumber. On
last Monday night, between the hours
of and 2 o'clock. Geo. Guth, living in
the town of Cottonwood, on the Man.
kato road, about four or five miles
from New Ulm, received a call from
some of these worthless, and he now
mourns the loss of two valuable horses.
The thieves boldly entered his stable,
only short distance from the house,
quietly united the horses and made off
with them, taking only the halters to
guide the horses. Mr.. Guth heard the
dogs barking but was so tired from the
days labor that he could not rouse him.
self enough to take in the situation,
and he did not discover the theft until
about 4:30 on Tuesday morning. He
at once followed the trail until it lead
int tho woods, mile or so from the
house, when he lost it. Mr.. Guth
promptly notified sheriff Manderfeld
who in turn sent kilograms to all the
railroad stations within a hundred
miles, and also went in pursuit of the
thieves himself. As the farmers are
now all busy in their fields, and the
roads but little travelled, the rascals
will no doubt make good their escape
with their booty. Mr.. Guth offers a
liberal reward, as will be seen by ano-
tice in another column, for the recoy-
cry of the horses and apprehension Of
the thieves.

Springfield Itoms.

I notice several errors crept into
my last weeks items, which have been
taken exception to and which wish
to correct. In the first place l meant
to say that cat least $4,000 bushels of
barley alone would be harvested at
this place this fall. In the second
place A, G. .Anderson's item
should have read as follows:
A. G. Anderson is putting In a
happy week in Chicago. the greaC I

convey the idea that Mr. Anderson
was the great 4 am of the west. He
has returned O. X.

An elderly lady, with 4 bible in one
hand and tracts in the other, created
considerable amusement last Monday
by visiting the saloons and praying and
singing, and exhorting the saloon keep
ers and their customers to turn away
from the wicked path they were pur-
suing while there was yet time to do
so. With probably one exception the
lady was treated civilly in every place
she visited, but she was the object of
many jests, which however she did not
seem to heed as she kept Il good temp
er during the whole day. The lady is
no doubt earnest IN hor endeavor to
reform this world, but she has taken y
mistaken way to do it.

Editor Rerietc:

.VSS Z
Having a little spare time, / will en-
deavor to write a few lines for the
columns Of your worthy paper. Per-
haps some of your readers would like
to know something about the Signal
service.
The signal corps is the highest d.
vision of the army, being a branch of
the cavalry. It is the only branch of
the army requiring mental exami-
nation for enlistment. The school
for the signal corps is at Ft. Whlpple,
Va, opposite Washington.
The course has lately been extended
to six months.
It embraces: cavalry tactics, field
telegraph train drill. telegraphy, mill
tary signaling with flags and torches,
cipher signals, meteorOlogy and 4
course on instruments for taking Oh
servations. The standard for admis.
sion has been raised, making 1t an ex-
animation of the most rigid character
rs far as it goes and thus allowing on
ly 4 select body of men to enter it.
The candidate for admission has
also to undergo physical examination
by an army surgeon which keeps out
Il good many. The organs of sight and
hearing are especially tested rs defect
in either would render him useless for
the service.
You can judge from an examination
held last week into which 26 entered
and only two passed, of the lirmncss of
the rule.
The corps is to be increased so men
which makes 4 total of 500 men in the
service.
In time of peace they take observa-
tiOns at signal stations three times a
day 1T the same moment of time all
over the United States, from which
important and usually reliable indica.
tions in the change of weather are de-
duced for the protection of agriculture
and commerce. In time of war they
are attached to the different com.
mands for transmitting messages by
secret signals.
Every year there arc promotions
made into the army rs I'd Lieutenants.
This important service gives very sa-
tisfactory results under the command
of Gen. Albert J. Meyer, Chief Signal
Officer.
Hoping that my communication, If
found worthy, will find space in
your columns, remain,
Very respectfully yours,
Jos. A. ECKsTEIN,
Signal Corps. U. S. A.
