Our Boys In Blue.

No grander phrase our country's his
tory contains,
For they it freed from despot and from
chains;
And when the serfs for freedom loud
implored,
They faltered not but natural liberty
restored;
Which could only with their own dear
lives be bought,
Yet with sturdy will the task was
wrought.
Teaching the world a lesson, which will
long remain,
More brilliant, than will Greek or Ro-
man fame,
Our brethren fought; and equality Of
..- right extended,
While the latter, but their right of
throne defended.
Then, Youth of Liberty respect "Our
Boys in Blue,'
For to them honor is, and always will
be due.

The Cencus.

The applications for cencus enumer.
ators are pouring in TO MIA A. Gran.
dali, supervisor of this district, by the
bushel basket full daily, although the
work will be fatiguing and the pay is
not such as to make it very great in
ducement. The compensation of the
enumerstors will be two cents for each
living inhabitant. two cents for each
death reported, ten cents for each farm
and fifteen cents for each establish
ment of productive industry enumer.
ated and returned. No mileage or
travelling expenses can be charged.
AS the enumerator districts are to in.
clude only about 1000 inhabitants,
Brown county, according to the census
of 1870, will he devided into two dis
tricts. In all cities of over 10000 pc.
pulation the census must be taken in
two weeks, commencing with the first
of June. Outside of such cities four
weeks will be allowed.
1t will be great saving Of time to
both the enumeration and the farmer il
the latter will write down beforehand
statement of the number of acres of
wheat and other grain grown the year;
the yield, etc., the number of head of
live stock. the products Of the dairy,
and in fact all the results of the years
farming and have them ready for the
day when the facts are to be gathered.
It is important to all concerned that
the census should be complete and &C.
curate, and every one is required by
law to answer the questions promptly
and correctly. People should under.
stand that the census has no connec.
ton whatever with taxation, but there
will be those who regard the questions
put by the census.taker as impertinent
inquiry into their private business, and
either refuse to reply altogether, or
give blind and evasive answers. Such
persons should know that the census.
taker is an officer of the General Gov.
eminent, and represents for this pur-
pose the will of the people as expressed
in law passed by both houses of con-
gress. Laws carry with them a penal.
ty for their violation and evasion;
those who resist the examination of the

There are two post offices in Renvil.
le county named respectively Renville
and Renville Station. The former is
located about three miles from Fort
Ridgely and is supplied by the New
Ulm Office. The latter is on the Hast
ings & Dakota road. The two Offices
being named so near alike many let.
tiers have been missent, and so much
confusion has arisen, that the mer-
chants at the Station have finally made
up purse of $4,000 and presented it
to Louis Thiele, the postmaster Of the
first named office, to have the name of
his Office changed to Camp, which we
understand will be acceptable to Mr..
Thiele and the patrons of his office.
The remains of Oscar Hanft were
followed to their last resting place
last Thursday by large con-
course of our citizens. The funer.
al cortege moved from the residence
Of the deceased promptly at II o'clock
a. M, in the order published last
week. Arriving at the grave, John
Lind conducted the Odd Fellows cere.
monies, after which each member of
New Ulm Lodge No. SO, I. o. @. F.,
deposited twig of evergreen in the
grave. DR.. Chas. Berry, in behalf of
Progress Lodge No, %, A. O. U. w.,
then made a few appropriate remarks,
at the conclusion of which the men,
bers of this society also deposited
twigs of evergreens in the grave. The
colors of the Governors Guards were
then unfurled and a detachment of
eight men fired three volleys over the
grave, which concluded the last sad
rites, and the bereaved family and
their friends returned to their homes.

tiers! It seems that the "WideAwake''
has taken the warpath, in the disguise
of detective, to hunt up the missing
letters. This it apears to me, is an
unwarrantable invasion of govern.
ment territory, where did he get his
commission! Echo answers, "where?'
He has been on the scent over three
months and is no nearer the end than
when he first set out. He will keep
up the scent for he has ''smelt'' the
vermin, and there is no knowing
when he will let up, unless unfortu.
nately he makes mistake and lights
upon an owl instead of coon. We do
hope for his reputation asa detective
that he will continue to educate or de-
velop by practice on the field, his pre-
ceptive faculties so as not to commit
the egregious blunder Of failing to see
the difference between an owl and
coon.
If Rising would take to the corn
fields where coons are supposed to bur-
row in their midnight depredations,
he might possibly get on the scent of
the missing letter and fix the varmin.
The coon might possibly be tracked to
the pigeon hole, if his pursuer is long,
winded enough to hold out; or if he
should conclude after all that it is not
a coon but an owl, would advice him
to go north where the screech owl
abideth, and perchance he may discov-
or the haunts of the creatur and track
his trail to that supposed pigeon hole
in the New Ulm Office.
Not far from the gate, I heard a
screeck that sounded like all fury had
been let loose, and which was taken up
by other screechers until the blended
chorus Numbered out; ''The letters in
the pigeon hole, and Rising has found
the burglars Passing corn field, l
heard the coon sing out, "He cant find
it, 'tisn't in the pigeon hole, Hurrah!''
But then Rising is SO well satisfied
that it never left the pigeon hole that
he will keep barking away at the hole,
for he saw it go in there and is posi-.
tive it never come out again,
..Where is lit" is the unanswered
question. t.Where is it," is u mys
terry. which only Rising can clear up,
I.sWhere is it!' asks the coon. Where
is it!'' asks the owl. The Sleepy Eye

Lake Hanska. Feb. 1, 1 $50.

Noticing that the Review frequent
II containes correspond nces from the
different towns, I venture to send you
a few lines from Lake Hanska, hop.
ing you will give them place in the
columns Of your valuable paper.
Christmas, which among Norwegi-
ans lasts from Dec. Is to about the
middle of January, was enjoyed. by the
young people especially, unusually
well, and now as it is over and we
have settled down again to the daily
routine of business, we feel rather
lonesome.
Last spring we started library
here. Every one that wanted to be-
come member was taxed 81 to which
semi-annual additions are made, aud
a committee was appointed to select,
for the money thus obtained, what
they considered the most suitable
books in the Norwegian literature.
The books are kept in the schoolhouse,
where we meet every other week and
exchange. At Jour last meeting we
had election of officers, which resulted
as follows: President, John Mo; Sec.
Twill he elected at. next meeting), Ii
brarian, Ole Synsteby; Treasurer, ia
cob Bake. In connection with the
library we issue paper called Frisky-
tlen, (Free-shooter) which is read at
at every meeting by the editors and has
greatly tended toward keeping up the
interest and to which perhaps more
than to anything else may be ascribed
the remarkable success of the library.
On account Of it's liberal sentiments
ond straight-ahead way OF expressing
itself, it has offended few of the
more into]e:ant and ignorant ones,
who, I suppose, never read these lines
from Pope's Essay on Criticism:
cat every trife scorn to take offence
That always shows great pride or
little sense"
But among the majority of. the PEG.
pie the course pursued is Apr owed.
Last Wednesday we had a chance
to hear Kristofer Janson as he lectured
in Madelia on that day. Mr.. Janson
is one of Norway's most illustrious
poets and writer's and for me to com.
ment upon the merits of the lecture is
superfluous. I will simply say it was
the best lecture upon lthe subject, or
in fact upon any subject, I ever heard.
1t was also very we'll attended, about
230 persons being present. The young
people of Lake Hanska turned out Gin
masse'' and comparatively, for out
numbered the adjacent towns, which
fact speaks pretty we'll for their intel.
lectual sense.
Mr.. Clary was around visiting our
school two weeks ago. He stayed
there from noon till school closed and
then, about sunset, started for Sleepy
Eye, leaving behind the impression
that he is going to do his duty, some
thing our former School Superinten.
dents seemed to have forgotten.
A good deal of sickness is prevailing
in the town as the measles have en-.
tered our boundaries. Christian Grove.
a young man, aged 20, died last Tues
day night. The deceased was general.
ly beloved by his associates, who grleve
the loss of so promising young man
from their number. His bereaved
pare nts, to whom the loss is the heav-
lest, have the sympathy of the COM
munity. Non NCMCs.
