story 27x40, and this firm intend TO make
this the head quarters for distributing their
machinery TO local agencies. Thus 1t is
that one by one all the supply depots are
being gathered together at this point, and
yet we have room for more.
Republican and Democratic County Con
ventions meet in this village ON Saturday
next, the former body at the Court House,
the latter at Goods Hail. The general
feeling amongst both parties, seems TO be
in favor of not instructing the delegates,
although the conventions may perhaps
adopt resolutions for the purpose of giving
expression to and ascertaining the wishes
of the people, through the delegates pres
ent.
A Boy AS Is A BoY-Last Saturday VIM.
Dragoo was to be seen on the streets, his
face wreathed in smiles, and his pocket
full of cigars. On inquiring as to the
cause of all this hilarity and extravaganza,
it was ascel tanned, much to the chagrin of
many of us heads of families, that William
had outstripped us all, and clearly left us
in the shade, as he had that morning been
presented by Mrs. Dragoo, with taOelce
p2und bog. Mother and child are pre-.
crossing finely.
DoNNELLY PRANKs.-Last Tuesday John
Lynch was before justice Baldwin on u
charge of being drunk and disorderly, the
complaining witness being George Wei
come of Donnelly. After a short hearing
the prisoner was discharged, but the case
did not end there, for Lynch appeared be-
fore justice Bragg and had Welcome ar
rested on charge of assault and battery
The case was tried and cloud of witness
es examined, but the jury brought in yer.
dict of not guilty.
PoLITICAI.-Owing to the wet weather
Saturday evening, the Republican Caucus

transact the business of the evening. At

A DoCTORs LUCK.-L1st fall DIR. Chas
Hill of Pine Island, had the misfortune to
lose by fire, the entire seasons crop on his
farm near Donnelly in this county. This
spring his warm ill-luck apparently follows
him, as fire got among and destroyed a
large lot Of trees, cuttings, &C., on the
same farm, and to wind up on, as it were,
for we hope it is a case OF three times and
out, telegram was received from Pine
Island the other evening, informing him
that his barn, grainery, hay, ETC., was also
destroyed by the fire fiend.
NABBED.-An ornery looking vag, who
billed himself as Ben. Gallagher, was ar
rested at Hancock, for obtaining goods I'M
der false pretences, and being found guilty,
was sent to Jail. Owing to some informal
ity i'll the commitment, the prisoner was
taken back again before the justice, but
for some reason or other, was not again
sent up. The chap appeared slightly
looney, and was travelling around the coun-
ty making farmers offers for the right of
way through their lands, representing him
self sa an agent of the railroad company
DETEcToR.-The village authorities have
received the watchman's clock, or detector,
and as soon as the Council meets, it will be
ordered placed in some central location.
The clock is an ingenious piece of mechan-
ism, and has attached to its dial strip of
paper marked with the hours; punch is
arranged so that when the lever is pulled a
hole is pricked in the paper, and it can be
readily seen at what hours the Waterman
was in that vicinity. The clock is to be
wound. set and locked by some one person
aud is so arranged that it can not be tam,
pered with.
ANOTHER ST. PAUIrrE-Our old friend
DR.. J. H. Bryant, of st. Paul. has large
tract of land in the northwest corner of
this county, and is improving the same in
a substantial manner. The doctor is max
ing every effort to have model farm,
and has this spring set out nearly Il, DOC
cottonwood, elm. box-elder and maple
trees, and has forty acres in the same sec
ton under crop, which will be ready an
other season for more cuttings. A large
number of st. Paul's business men OWE
farms il this county, and all are making
extensive Improvements.
JUsTICE.-A case was tried last Monday
before Justice Baldwin, the suit being
brought by one of our citizens against the
pound master for unlawfully impoundine
his cattle. A jury was impane1ed, and af
ter much deliberatiou verdict was return
Ell which released the cows, and COMPEL
ed the principals to divide the costs, eacl
paying half. Wesuppose in this case boil
sides have won, and although there was /
principe involved which was lost sight oil
by the jury, yet considering the persona
feeling in the matter, it was perhaps bes
as it is. However it settles as to who is tht
pound master.
