After the letters were heard the remain
ing hour was occupied by Rev. E. West
colt in an educational address. The in
terests Of the Minnesota Baptist Academy
at Owatonna were especially presented.
This institution is row about completing
its third year Of very successful study,
and expects to graduate class OF eight
At the close of this term, June 18th. Its
assets are about $4,000. Its debt about
$4,000, which we want to raise In shares
of IS each. The necessity Of denomi-
national school was dwelt upon, and the
place of the Academy was emphasized.
1t meets the wants of the rural districts
a. no.hing else can. Some Of the ablest
men in the land have been raised outside
Of our centers of population. The reli-
gious influences Of an Academy are ines
timabl for good. Unless We educate our
children in our own UNCONVENTIONAL
schools, other denominations will do this
work for US, and will draw them from
our principles aud practices. Two dis.
tinguishing features Of the Bapttsts are,
LIST, In ever being the advocates Of reli.
gious liberty. ID, In supreme loyalty to
the Scriptures, and to Jesus Christ alone
a. law giver and King.
Eoening-After the opening religious
exercises. conducted by Rev. J. s. Cox, of
Wstervills, Rev. E. c. Sanders preached
from Psalms 87:5. The vast superiority
of the religion Of Jesus Christ over all
other religions was dwelt upon. /, So
cially; 2, politically; 3. with reference
to salvation from sin and hope Of eter-
nal bliss. The two former, though they
seem 50 great, are really incidental, so
vastly more important is the last advantage.
Rev. J. w. Riddle, State Superintendent
of Missions, then gave an address on the
work in the state. There are $50 or more
Baptist churches in the state, with mem.
hership Of 1000. There arc 20 misslona-
ries in the state, and three arc soon to be
added. The frontier presents field of
peculiar necessities and truly promise of
successful work. New churches are being
organized. New meeting houses being
erected and new fields being occupied,

Crops are in excellent condition.
MIR. Horn is slowly convalescing.
This weather is too lovely for any

Considerable wheat has been coming
in for the last week.
The talk goes on about the celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July. Guess our
people mean business.
The sporting men of Rose Greek
have boat all ready to sail. The "Nancy
Ann,',, or whatever it is called, will be
ready to sail in 4 few days, and those
desiring cabin passage had better apply

All is extremely quiet. Not even a
political rifle to stir our peace Of mind
Soon, however, we expect to see those
good fellows come down from Austin to
tell us how much they love US and are
willing to sacrifice p for US in transacting
the extremely difficult duties accompany
Ing an official position, and also attend to
drawing the alary, all Of which they
promise faithfully to perform; especia lily
drawing the salary.

The emigrant wagon, followed by it's
dozen head of cattle driven by two chill
dren, still makes its daily appearance on
our streets.
George W. King aud son, in company
with parties from Austin, have gone to
Nebreak on prospecting tour, expecting
to be absent about two menths.
Owing to rush Of other matter, we
neglected to mention the weather in our
last report, and 1t is now too late, AZ the
weather has changed. If any one has
been caught out in 4 shower, or been
tanned, SUM- burnt or frozen, he can blame
US.
The team that ran away this time be-
longs to Pat Egan. It was left standing
unhitched by the depot while the driver
entered it for goods. At present 1t is a
question Of doubt whether it will be
cheaper to take the wagon to the re-.
pair shop or move shop to the wagon.
