The managers of the Lincoln Home of Phil
adelphia IAN institution originally for soldiers
orphans only, but now receiving all that come,
and at this time maintaining about 80O), have
applied to Land Commissioner Drake, of the
st. Paul & Sioux City company. (the
genial gentleman who flies British
flag over his Office and has general
charge of her majesty's dominions
in southwest Minnesota and northeast Iowa) for
information as to the terms on which lands can
be obtained on which to settleas farmers such
of the graduates of the institution as are not
fitted for professional or mechanical pursuits.
or who prefer to be farmers. As the Lincoln
Home takes children of three years and holds
them in training until they are grown to be
men and women, its large family may turn
out number of farmers every year.
Col Hazen's regiment, the Sixth infantry,
left Bismarck at 1880 yesterday morning, in
stead of the evening previous, and will arrive
in st. Paul to-day.
Mr. Samuel Richardson, who lives a few
miles east of Moorhead, and is associated with
Mr.: Joseph Dilworth in several farms between
Moerhead and Glyndon, arrived here yesterday,
bringing very encouraging report as to the
condition of crops and the soil in his vicinity.
He says the present crop prospects of his Vi
cinity are the best he ever saw, that the rains
kept the soil in favorable condition, and that
the damage by rain and overflow has been very
small. OF 600 acres of wheat on his farm, he
thinks not over five acres are at all damaged.
The section Of country to which he refers is
level, and it would be as likely to have suffered
by the rains as any part of the Red River valley.
The st. Paul & Manitoba branches on the
west side of the Red River have progressed
sufficiently far to show that 1t is the policy of
the management to occupy the whole of the
Red River valley. Its lines from Breckenridge
and Grand Forks meeting, perhaps. on the
Northern Pacific at Barresville, will enclose a
large breadth of territory on the west side of
the valley. If they should reach farther west,

George s. Chrygler, of 159 Fourth street, an
engineer in the employ of the St. Paul d Man
itoba railway company, was assisting yester-
day morning, in the attempt to lift an en-
glne which was off the track near
the company's shops in this city, when long
pole, which was being used as lever split,
and one section in its spring struck Mr. Chrysler
on his face, laying open one cheek with very
ugly wound.
