Old Settlers Of Freeborn County.

Old Settlers Of Freeborn County.
Geo. S. Rub!e, one Of the pioneers of
Freeborn county, at the sixth annual meet
ing of the Ola Settlers Association Of
Freeborn county, held at Albert Lea, July
9Th, read a sketch Of early days in that
county; the following extract may
be of interest to the readers of the
TRANSCRIPT:
As said before l first came here IN
July, 1855. There was no house in the
county. Bill Kice, Cottrell, Gardner and
Hostetter, were living in their wagons.
While at Freedom Lake I found Miller
and Bickford camping out. When I
started for ST. Paul In the winter of 1867,
TO do some county seat log.rolling IN the
legislature, I found it necessary to go
down to Morey's ford in Iowa on the
Cedar River, the:: TO strike the Austin
road. From Austin I went to Chatfield,
thence to Red Wing, thence up the Mis-
sissippi on the ice to St. Paul. This was
on January 1st. The same circuitous
route was travelled on my return in March.
A few days later, in company with Mrs
r. and G. n, then a boy five years old, I
went to Geneva, around by the Iowa route
aud brought in Judge Stacy, s. N. Fris-
bic aud Squire Andrews, three commits
sioners appointed by Gov. German to or
ganize Freedom county. They met in
the old log; house situated on what has
been known as the island" and perform
Ell the work for which they were appointed
and Freedom county was organized, your
humble servant occupying the honorable
position of first sheriff and tax collector.
The following obituary notice Of John
S. Corning, who was one of the first set
tiers of Freeborn county, was read:
The first of the "old settlers" to ''drop by
the way' during the past year was Mr.. j.
S. Corning, who was born in st. Lawrence
county, New York, in 1927, where he
lived until 1855, when he came to this
state. He settled in Shell Rock in 1865
or 1856, where he erected the first frame
house in the town. From 1857 to 1860
he was one Of the most industrious of
men, doing as much as any other man to
develop the resources of the county in
the first years of its settlement, as at that
time lie owned and run a steam saw mill,
and kept store which accommodated a
large portion of the community. His ex-
perience as hotel keeper was large and
varied ana all old settlers remember him
as the host of the Corning House, at Shell
Rock, the Weber House, in Albert Lea,
and during the IL years Of his time, as
the proprietor Of the Corning House in
Austin, where he died October 10Th, 1879,
aged So years.

Strike Among Negro LabOrers In
Louisiana.

Now Orleans, March ia strike among
the negro laberers in st. Charles parish Gre
ates much excitement. Governor Wilt, on
application of the whites of that parish,
has ordered the Thirtieth Louisiana Field
Artillery to the scene. They left by the
morning train. The whites, who refuse the
demands OF the laborers, report that the ne
groes threaten to burn the sugar houses if
their demands are not complied with.
The planters of st. Charles parish have
made affidsvits against the leaders of the
strikers, charging them with riot and as
sauting planters with sticks and pistols, and
going from one plantation to another and
whipping negroes who refused to strike. The
parish authorities being unable to execute
the law appealed to Governor Wilt, who
ordered company of field artillery to the
scene of the trouble. When the troops ar
rived the strikers held meeting, which was
addressed by Parish Judge Austin,
who stated that the troops were
there not to modest the strikers, but TO en-
force the law, and protect those willing to
work. Secretary of State Strong and Others
addressed the meeting. The leaders of the
strikers, who are charged with assault, sur
rendered themselves, but were released until
tomorrow, when they will be tried. The
negroes disclaim any intention Of violence to
the whites, and there appears to have been
no serious trouble, and none is now appre-
