SOME months ago, it will be rcmcm-
bcred, it was announced that L. {. NJ
Cracker, agent of the st. Paul, Mime

ut Cro0kston, was short in his accounts

that he was more siuncd against than
shining, as another party reapcd the ell
tire benefit of the leakage, and he was
guilty not of criminality, but of careless
ness.
WELL broke dogs ure numerous in
Alexandria. But few have az much
common sense as the one belonging to
the Garfield boys. Beyond guarding
with an cver-watchful eye the younger
members Of the family, this dogs useful
ness had never been recognized until last
week, at which time he tried by bark
ing and running to the lake to attract
some one to that place. Failing in this,
he seized hold OF one of the boys coats
and pulled him III the lakes direction.
Attracted by these unusual actions Theo-
dore Garfield and Woodruff Hicks went
to the lake. They there found II COW
swimming around in IN open place ell
deavoring to regain the ice. They
quickly procured rope, and with assist
ance Of IL man passing by, the COW was
saved.-Ater0ndria (DOWghus C0uaty)

For some six on seven weeks past
boy named Seewald, son of John See
valid, of Lake Prairie, has been quite
sick, suffering from inflammation of the
bowels, and was unable to receive per-
mancnt relief. He was very thirsty, and
it seemed impossible ut times to quench
his thirst for water. He continued to
waste away until ON the 9th inst. he vom-
tied up small live animal very much
resembling caterpillar, of dull yell
lOwish color, about three-quarters of IN
inch long. This relieved him somewhat
temporarily, but the s,.mc night he vom-
tied up two more of the caterpillars. He
now feels great relief, but is very much
reduced in flesh and strength. 1t is
now hoped that he is rid of the last OF
his tormentors, and will rapidly recover.
We are informed that an animal like
these which he has been relieved of
abo,mds in the sloughs, and that the boy
must have drank them in some four
months ago. 1t is II warning to avoid
drinking slough watcr.-M. Peter 1ri- |
