A NORTHFIELD SENSATION,

Two Professors:in st. Olafs College Resign to
Escape Dismissal in Consequence of Existing
Pretty Young Female Student.
kissing pretty little female student in a
fatherly MANNER" is what caused the resigna-
ton, by request, of Prof. Tiesberg from st.
Olafs Scandinavian college at Northfeld Prof
Lynne also resigned for the same sort OF famil-
iarity with the same subject A correspondent
gives the following account of the affair:
For some time past the Rev. Mohn, the pro-
lessor in charge, has noticed the marked atten-
ton Of Profs. Tiesberg and Lynne to certain
female student, a fine looking damsel of eigh-
teen summers, who on her part seemed not at
all dissatisfied. On several occasions the two
professors we're caught in the act of kissing the
aforesaid young lady; but Rev. Mohn thinks no
further familiarities have taken place, notwith-
standing abundant rumors to the contrary of
his opinion. The last act III this sensational
drama occurred about two weeks ago, when the
loving trio were found exchanging pledges of
affection in the usual way. The girl was imme-
diately expelled from the college The two
professors resigned the day before their papers
of dismissal we're to be given them. Prof
Tiesburg asks for a thorough investigation and
declares his perfect innocence of any criminal
ity, unless it be criminal to kiss pretty little
female student in fatherly manner.

grand jury, in and for said Mower county and

Sheriff Sheeban appeared in court with Riley
shackled to deputy, q guard of two men fol-
lowing. An immense crowd followed, and in
five minutes the court house was filed to suf-
location. The case in hand was suspended, and
the prisoner and guard took seats near the
bench. The judge turned his attention to the
all absorbing case, and asked if the county at
torney was ready to present the prisoner. Mr..
Erwin stated they were ready and offered to
waive the reading Of the Indictment Judge
Farmer suggested that the county attorney read
it, which he did. Riley, being called upon,
pleaded not guilty. Erwin asked that the trial
take place speediy-next week if possible
and special venire be ordered. George F.
Goodwin, county attorney, desired to have the
trial as early as it could take place. Judge
Page asked that no specified time be see
as It would prejudice the case. He desired no
delay, except such as should aid the ends of
justice. He had noticed evidences of peculiar
and undue haste. Farmer thought the time Of
the trial should be set, and if either party was
not ready continuance could be made. By
agreement. the trial was set for Wednesday,
March 80, p. m.

HOUSE AND FARM.
A Few Farm Brevities.

i In making lime water in which to pre-
serve eggs, take one half barrel Of lime and
I125 gallons Of water. At first apply water
just sufficient to slake the lime, then add
the remainder with one quart of SALT Pack
the eggs and pour the lime water over them,
and cover with cloth, on which place some
Of the sediment from the lime barrel. The
eggs must be fresh and be stored in q cool
cellar or room ELSE they will not keep sound.
When wanted for use or to send to market,
take out the eggs and wash clean.
As the result of observation, and from
the testimony Of reliable men, the following
is about the average growth in twelve years
of the leading desirable varieties Of timber.
when planted in belts or groves and cult
waited: White maple. one foot in diameter
and 30 feet high; ash, leaf maple or box ell
der, one foot in diameter and 20 feet high; ;
white willow, one and a half feet in dame
ter and 40 feet high; yellow willow, one and
half feet in diameter and IS feet high;
Lombardy poplar, 10 inches in diameter
and 40 feet high: blu9 and white ash, 10 in
ches in diameter and Is feet high; black
walnut and butternut 10 inches in diane
ter and 20 feet high.
Red top is q favorite grass on wet swampy
meadows. Its thick, interlacing roots con-
solidate the sward in such manner as to
prevent the feet of animals from sinking
through. As pasture grass it is only val
liable when mixed with other varieties. In
England, strange to say, it is best adapted
to sandy ground, and the only commenda-
ton ever given to it is it's ability to with.
stand drouth.
Mr.. IF. Hickman, in the Rural World,
says he has noticed hundreds of farmers
wasting valuable time in trying to make
hedges in impossible ways, one Of which is
nicking and bending. He thus sums up:
Il you wish to make live Usage hedge
fence, (and this is the best) not only for you
during your life, but to live on and through
all coming time improving with age-and
still growing 800 years after you are forgot
ten, set your plants five inches apart and
cultivate to good vigorous growth. Dwarf
each year according to the maturity of the
wood observing the flow of sap). Prune
the lateral branches SO they will not drop.
In this way-with good soil and prompt at
tention-a fence may be made in three
years, and, if it should require seven years,
once completed it will endure forever, the
plants standing in their natural position,
their nature guided (not thwarted) by man.
Should fire sweep over it and burn it off
to the ground, a new growth will start up
and the fence can be remade by the same
method, and in less time.

The late senator Carpenter was native
of Moretown, VT, and the old people tell
many stories of him. He was much OPP
posed to manual labor when boy, and it
is said that his father once left home, tell
ing the future senator to hoe certain
patch of potatoes and giving him two
shillings with which to get some one to
help him. The boy took the money. and
buying bottle of rum with one Of the
shillings offered it to an Irishman If he
would do the job. To insure the faithful
fulflment of the contract the youthful con-
tractor would station himself at one end of
a row and give the Irishman drink as he
got around to him. Paddy worked like q
hero, the task was soon done and Carpen-
ter was a shilling in pocket without having
done stroke Of work himself.

ReautifY the Home /.

It should be our constant object and aim
to render our homes and farm life far more
attractive than they usually are. Thousands
of dollars are sometimes spent in building a
fine house, while the grounds fact, all
the surroundings indicate lamentable
want Of taste. The real value of property
can be increased by the planting of trees
and the arrangement Of the grounds with q
comparatively smaller expenditure than in
any other way.
Farmers usually do not fully comprehend
the importance Of tasteful surroundings for
our homes. We underrate their influence
on our characters and those Of our children.
Unless we make our homes attractive, and
Undue the minds of our children with q love
for flowers and the beautiful in nature, VIC
can never expect them to prefer country
life to that Of the city. Let us, then, en-
deavor to reform in this particular. and let a
love Of the beautiful prompt us to embellish
our homes, and make them the most delight
full places on earth. 1t is only by degrees
that the young, hungry soul, born and bred
in q cherries home, accepts the fate to
which, not the poverty, hutthe indifference

Queer Happenings in War.

~, d = : , !.
At the battle of Franklin. the first shell
sent from the first Uuion feldpiece to open
fire killed twenty-six Confederates. The
next five shells from this same gun either
failed to explode or cleared the advancing
lines In tLis same fight tho horse of a
Confederate colonel was cut square in two
by shot and the rider escaped unhurt.
Ten minutes after Union officer behind
the earthworks stumbled and fell forward
on the ground and broke his neck.
In one of the assaults on Fort Wagner,
in Charleston Harbor, the ironclad feet, as
sisted by land batteries numbering thirty
seven heavy cannon, bombarded the fort
for two hours before killing single soldier.
From seventy to eighty heavy cannon were
hurting three tuns of iron into the fort each
minute, and yet no one was hurt until more
than three hundred tons Of solid death"
had been wasted. AS an offset to this,
witness the work Of q single solid shot
thrown from Federal gunboat on the lew
er Mississippi. A Confederate flying
battery was just taking position,
and one piece had already opened
fire. The Federal shot was directed
at this piece. The big mass of iron
struck the six-pounder square on the muzzle
and upset gun and carriage. A piece of the
MuZZl0 weighing AOOut twenty pOuuuS, WdS
broken off, and this few to the left and
killed two men. Three men were wounded
by smaller fragments or flying splinters.
The big shot next struck and explodeda
caisson, killing three more men and wound
ing two others, From the caisson it turned
co the right, killed a horse, smashed a,,wheel
for deld-piece and crushed the leg of q
sergeant to bloody mass. The one shot
SO disorganized the battery that it limbered
up and dashed away to cover.
A union gunboat on the White river
threw three shells into camp. killing
nearly fifty men and routed force of 800.
Within week after that event the Confed-
crate general Shelby planted four pieces of
flying artillery on the levee within 400 feet
of the same gun boat at anchor, and with
out the least cover for the men or guns,
kept up the fight for more than an hour or
until the gunboat hacked out of it and
steamed away.
The chances of lottery can be figured
down fine, and certain per cent of es-
capes is allowed in steamboat explosion,
but he who goes to war has nothing to con-
sole him. He may dodge two hundred
pound shell and be killed by two buck
shot He may receive dozen bullets and
live on, or the first one may be fatal. He
may ride in the widest charge unhurt. and
he may be killed by stray bullet beside
his camp fire.
