AN HEIRLooM.-Last Monday, we were
shown clock which is great curiosity,
as we'll for its age and size, as for its intri-
cateness. This ancient and valuable piece
of mechanism is now in the possession of
Mr.. j. ID. Good, and has been in his fathers
family for upwards Of fifty.two years.
The clock stands nine feet high, and be-
sides recording tie seconds, minutes and
hours, it registers the days and months of
the year, marks the length of the days, the
hours of the rising and setting of sun and
moon, and the various changes of the moon.
1t is hardly necessary to add that this old
family relic is highly priced by its present
owner, its old face and straight dark
case being associated with his earliest rec
objections of home and childhood.
Mr.. 7. w. Wilson, in reply to an article
in last weeks Tribune says:
The Morris Tribune must find some other
man TO father the cattle story. l have IL
barn 6UX0O feet, fourteen horses, 1000
bushels of oats, 200 bushels of corn, all
the hay and straw they can eat, good well
in the barn, and left everything in charge
of VIM. McCornic and Walter Sto ddard.
They have taken excellent care of the stock,
grain and machinery, and l so find it this
spring. L. w. WILSON,
Bank of Minneapolis.
We are at loss to understand how such
a report could have been circulated Our
information was received from MIR. Victor
Smith, and he is we'll known as a reliable
man, and one who would not wilfully mis-
represent. Mr.. Smith lives in that vicinity,
and although he may have been mistaken
in the names yet there is probably some
truth in the story
oRGUMNEss.-Pursuant to notice, quite
a number of those interested in raising cane
sugar cane please remem bcr-met at the
court house last Saturday afternoon. No
definite steps were taken as the meeting
was simply preliminary gathering, called
for the purpose of ascertaining the views
of those present, on the subject of expert,
menting in this branch of farming. Judg-
ing from the expressed sentiment of those
present, We feel justified in saying that the
majority arc disposed to give the suggestion
practical test, provided satisfactory ar
fragments can be made for procuring the
necessary machinery. 1t was decided that
all present report ON next Saturday after
noon, either in person or by letter, how
much cane he and his neighbors will agree
to plant, provided adequate facilities are
furnished for manufacturing. During the
interim, the cost of machinery, seed, &C.,
will be ascertained, and efforts made to in
6uce some one to undertake the manufac
ture.
