One would think that the denizens Of our
village were spiritualists, from the number
of mediums in the town. There are two
places where they manifest themselves, and
expect the arrival of another in. q short
time-whiskey mediums.
Many of those who left here last fall to
visit friends in the East are again making
their appearance, looking vigorous and hap
py, and anxious for the opening of spring.
Johnnie Donnelly, the genial station agent,
is looking better and still gaining, He will
soon pull the scales down to two hundred
and fifty pounds. His arduous duties are
telling on him. Brace up, Johnnie.
Mr.. Huddleson, the heavy man of Don
nelly, is now engaged in fitting UP another
store room, which will be occupiedby Mr.
Geo. Welcome as grocery store. .
There is only one small grocery store in
town at present, but the average citizen is
quite contented and happy as they have
plenty Of tobacco and whiskey.

We left home on the 1st The day was
unusually warm for the time of year. The
heavy body of snow which had fallen the
Saturday previous, disappearing rapidly un-
der the warm rays OF the sun made the
travelling bad We drove to Herman stop
ping at the hotel for the night. We occu-
pied the sky parlor which contained eight
beds and ten occupants. One of Herman's
greatest needs is good hotel building, AT
ter tea we called on the editor of the Her
aid whom we found In his sanctum then
took a stroll among the business men of
the town. First in order was friend Clague,
who has flour and feed store, and in con-
nection with that business has put in a stock
of hardware, stoves etc and is doing fine,
business with the able assistance of his
right hand man, Johnny. Next, Van Da-
rams dry goods house, where we found
them doing fair business. From thence
to the mammoth dry goods house Of Wells
Bros. Their business is increasing so rap
idly under the able management of Mr.. A.
Wells, that they have found it necessary to
enlarge the stole, and Carpenters are now
busily at work. We looked in upon Smith
the elevator man-we never go back on
that name for fear of becoming premature
ly d-headed-who has not one quarter ca
pacity for the wheat that is marketed there
There is probability of its being increas-
ed to $50, 900 bu. During the night the
warm spell caught cold it froZe hard. At
/ ter breakfast we set our faces toward the
setting sun, and Pleasant Hill distant thir-
| ty-two miles, which is on the bluffs of Lake
Traverse. A keen, biting north wind was
sweeping over the low, flat prairie For
| five miles out it is quite thickly settled
then we come to the open country where
you cannot catch a glimpse of anything ex-
cept now and then in the far distance a
claim shanty. At Twelve Mile Creek St.
Paul lady took up farm last summer and
built large house. We were in hopes TO
have warmed there, but found the house
nailed up. They are wintering in ST. Paul.
For miles ahead we could see nothing.
When we were about to turn back we es,
pied couple of teams coming, and as they
came up we inquired how far it was to the
first house, as we were getting quite cold
They said it was at least ten miles Oul
first thought was to turn and go with the
crowd. We however gathered up courage,
lifted our whip from the socket, took has
ty survey of the clouds in the West, which
indicated heavy storm, and made tile ter
miles in double quick time, stopping at The
Round Mound P. O. at 2:30 T. NJ, hav
ing driven across twenty miles of prairi
that is not inhabited, which is very hazard
GUS at this season of the year. After par
taking of a bountiful dinner, we pushed OF
seven miles to this point. Here we are il
good quarters, a big snowstorm making
things lively outside. Next week we will
give description of this locality. J'3at'

EDITOR TRIBUNE:
DEAR SIR:-I see by communication in
your columns, that some of the farmers in
this vicinity are thinking about the all i'm
portant subject of diversifying their farm
ing, and think in broaching the subject of
cane culture, your correspondent has hit
upon very important matter, one every
way worthy of attention by practical and
thinking farmers. Wheat is and must re-
main the leading industry of this new
northwest, butrif we raise wheat to the ex,
clusion of all other crops, we are pursuing
a suicidal policy; one that viii deteriorate
the soil below. a paying crop, in very
few years ] do not profess to know very
much about cane culture, but have lived
in the State about seventeen years, and
have raised and manufacturers several crops
of cane and been personally acquainted with
Miller of Dundas, Rice Co., who introduced
the Amber cane, which produces very
good yield of syrup, and when properly
manufactured, it produces q very nice quail
ity of yellow sugar, nearly one half grain
ing, the balance good cooking syrup. The
yield varies as in other crops, according to
season cultivation. and mode OF fnanufact
ure. 1tliink, on good soil, with good cul
tivation, an average crop is one hundred
and twenty-five gallons. The pure Amber
cane seed can be obtained in any desiree
quantity of james Miller, of Dundas, Ric,
/ county, Mimi, for whose reliability / cal

tenth of May, and requires the same culti-
walton as corn, and any where that good
crop of corn will grow, cane will do we'll.
The machinery for manufacture is not
necessarily very expensive, but, if circum-
stances permit, it is undoubtedly better to
buy the best, When the syrup is well man
ufactured. it answers for most all kinds of
cooking purposes, when one learns how to
use it. Then again think there will be as
reliable market for the syrup as for wheat
or any other crop, as there has been
sugar refinery established in Faribault al
most, orquite on purpose, to crystalize and
refine sorghum syrup. The syrup that
manufactured, was made in an early day,
in crude way, but there was always con-
siderable mush sugar in the bottom of the
barrel that contained the syrup. Perhaps
the taste for crude syrup has to be made
before one relishes it, but it is not difficult
to obtain an appetite for it, for one knows
that they are eating the pure juice of the
cane and not some noisome substitute. AS
this communication has already reached
considerable length, will close by sug-
gesting that if there is any number of farm
ers who feel an interest in raising cane,
that call be issued to those interested, to
meet at any early, at some place in Morris,
to consider the feasibility of making a
commencement in raising their own syrup
and sugar; and further, that if we only
knew who our member of congress from
this district really was, that some one from
whom he hoped support, would request
him to send them some of Commissioner
LeDuc's reports on sugar, which think
would give us some valuable information
Yours, with respect, c. SAX.

A new homestead law recently passed
the Senate, provides in brief, as follows:
Every person who shall hereafter enter
upon tract of land and make improve
ments thereon with the intention Of claim.
ing it as a homestead, shall have the same
length of time to file his homestead papers
at the land office, as is now given to file a
pre- -emption declaration. This will be
thirty days on land offered at private sale,
and 80 days on unofered land.
The Benson Times adds: ''Under this
law, party contesting homestead entry
can move upon it Immediately and have 80
or 80 days, as the case may be, after can
collation., in which to appear at the land
office and file his homestead papers. This

it will rrotect them from having their land

In reply to Mr.. Chew's criticism, of re-
cent article in the Tribune, denouncing the
law creating the municipal court of ST.
Paul, We will say that even after reading
the communication, we can see no reasons
why our article, though severe, was not
merited. We do not understand where Mr.
Chew gets his authority for the assertion,
that the New York Code recognizes no
change of venue and that it is an innovation
in our practice dating back only 10 1877, as
we think it is and has been recognized in
the former code, at least, for some forty
years. AS 10 our reason for concluding
that it is more outrageous for a creditor
to choose his residence asthe place for bring
ing transitory action etc, etc, we will
say that the General Statutes of 1873, Chap.
sc, Title A, Sec; 40, provides that "In all
cases, except when the State of Minnesota is
plaintiff, the action shall be tried in the
county in which the defendants, &c, shall
reside at the commencement of the action
The same Section also provides, shat il
none Of the parties reside or be found in the
State, the same may be tried in any county
which the plaintiff shall designate, ss9ject
! hoaoeUer, to the power of the court to chang
the place of trial" Our article specially
and We think rightly, stigmatized the &C
creating the municipal court, as 'iniqui
tous, because tgaEe swindlers, frauds ant
sharpers the powerte obtain Judgments Oh
bogus and fraudulent claims, and the ac
should, and we have no doubt will be re
.pealed or amended at the next session 0
the legislature. We agree, however, wit
Mr.. Chew's observations on >the neeessit
of such courts in populous cities, but il
this instance, we think the law or act de
fining the powers and Jurisdiction Of thi
court is simply Infamous and conflicts wit
the statutes as above quoted. no

The suggestion by MIR Sax. that all in-
terested in the subject of growing sugar
cane, etc, meet in this village at an early
date, is one worthy of every consideration.
We would like to have the object of the
meeting carried further, and invite all to at
tend who are interested i'll a more profitable
and less hazardous system of farming than
than the present Zone crop" method now
in vogue. Every practical farmer in this
county will be only too glad to availthem-
selves of an opportunity to attend such a
meeting, and We so not hesitate to say that
an organization with so laudable an object
would be of incalculablc benefit to the
farming community, and through them to
the country at large. The subject being
now fairly before the public, we will en-
deavor to have it kept alive, and as the
time is short, would suggest that all inter
ested-every farmer should be-meet on
saturday week, March 27th. Weannounce
