promises lest you may lose faith in hui
man nature.
Elsewhere will be found the programme
of the trotting and running races to take
place July 9Th, at O'Clock p. IN. As the
premiums are liberal, we hope there will
be large number of entries, and that the
speed developed will reflect credit upon our
county horses. Trot them out.
More than one hundred teams have been
employed in transporting provisions and
lumber from this point to Big Stone Cour-
ty for the Connemara emigrants. Most of
these teams were furnished by citizens of
this county as an offering in aid of most
laudable and charitable work.
Dr. D. Sutherland, who has been as
far north as Grand Forks, returned last
Saturday morning. The doctor reports
the crops as looking generally very fine,
but he is fully satisfied that thh land in
Stevens County is superior to any he saw
in his travels, and that Morris is the best
business point on this line of railroad.
The parties who carried off all the glass
ware that belonged to the Episcopal Socie-
ty, about the time of their last festival in
Goods Hall, will confer favor by return,
ing the same at once, otherwise we shall
feel compelled to mention names. If the
glass is promptly returned, we will keep
mum about that beautiful geranium and
ice cream, that SO mysteriously disappeared
at the same time.
Ole Peterson, railroad hand, was found
last Wednesday night in beastly state of
intoxication. He was promptly jagged by
the marshal, and in the morning brought
before Justice Hutchins, who fined him
$500, in default of which he was sent up
for six days. 1t is an invariable fact that
Ole and, i'd genus onane, who can succeed in
raising money enough to buy & barrel OF
whiskey, or whatever quantity is necessary
to make them blind drunk, never have a
cent to pay into our village treasury, or
for any other purpose. However. six days
will afford him ample time to sober off and
mediate upon the error of his ways.

We would call the attention of the own
ers of Dexter, Rarus, and the other fas
horses of this village, that Atlantic Avenue
our principal thoroughfare, was never in
tended as a Harlem Lane, where they coult
speed their horses at the imminent peril o
the less fortunate pedestrians. In fact
there was once enacted by the Council O
this place, an Ordinance. which now SEEM
to be dead letter, cnjoining all person
from travelling within the fire limits of tn
village, at a greater rate of speed than 81,
miles an hour, and imposing fine not ex
ceeding one hundred dollars for everyin
fraction thereof As we should be dis
tressed to see any one of these gentlemen
hauled up before Justice Hutchins ant
mulcted in so large sum, we admonisl
them hereafter to try the race track, O
other course, notwithstanding the fac
that there will be no admiring spectators
On the 9Th of July they can make rec0rt
in public.

to be repeated here. There Is, somehow
an instructive recognition of merit in th
public mind, and the evidence of this wit

immense animal and arenic enterprise
magnetically apparent on all sides. Every
body seems bound to go, and ample as al
the accommodations Of the towerin
double tents they will be fully tested; S
