Stately Correspondence.
Stately, June IL, 1881.

Editor Rericqu.
was pleased when I read your adj
vertisement for correspondence from
the towns of this county, and near us,
for that forms very interesting part
of county paper.
l hoped ITO hear u voice from our
town, but rs no one responded. thought
I would.
Our towns people are considerably
behind time with their spring work,
but have done we'll, considering the
amount of work which we had to do,
and the short time we had to do
it in.
We are so ''busy and cheerful" that
l think we would hardly be recognized
as the population of three or four
months ago. There are no farms to be
given away now.
Small grain looks well, but corn on
account of the cool weather, looks
rather poor, ard is not very good
stand. / hope we may have some corn
weather yet.
The grazing is very good now, and it
must be prosperous time for dairy.
| men.
Our cattle look finely now and we al.
most forget those we lost during the
last winter, though about forty head.
Flax seems to be the only resort OF
those who had more land than they
could manage.
D. II. Semans, our chairman. has
sold his farm to one A. Nelson from
Springfield. We are glad to learn that
Mr.. n. is frst-rate carpenter, for we
need one ON each side of the creek.
Mr.. Henderson's family who were
so painfully bereaved by the death 81
their little Maude, have moved tt
Springfield for the summer, at least
We cannot well spare them. but as Mr.
H. is carpenter, and Mrs. III. Il dress
maker and milliner, and both are mu
sic teachers. it is better for them to be
there. Mrs. Semans returned from hel
visit to her Faribault friends, in rather
poor health. Mrs. w. E. Allen has re-
turned from her New York visit ant
we are glad to have her with us again
She seems to have enjoyed the visit
very much
Mrs.J. Wilson is visiting her daughter
and friends in Goodhue county. She
writes that she has another grand
child down there.
Neighbor Dutton has young son
John is very proud Of his thirteen
pound herder. - il.
We have a Sunday school held il
district No. 81 school house. Henry
Haggard is our superintendent. Who
will he our delegates to the third an
nual convention of the Brown Co. S
| S. Association, to be held OH the 2lst
and 22nd of June at Springfield?
1t seems a pity that we have only on.
school in town, though we have two
school houses. The school in dist. NJ
81 seems to be progressing very pleas
antly, and we hope protitably, for tn
power and character of the next gen
Grafton depends greatly on the school

resident of our town, and we wish hin
success.

HORRIBLE SUICIDE.
FIR. BIZ INNER Cuts Three Deep Clashes
Into the Side Of His Neck, BUSHES
to the Minnesota River 4 Half
Mile Distant and is
Drowned.

The people of our city were Mortified
last Saturday morning by the report
that FIR. Drummer, ut 2 o'clock that
morning. had inflicted fearful wounds
in the sides of his neck with razor,
and then, before assistance could reach
him, rushed out of the house and dis
appeared. A visit to the scene of the
cutting convinced us that a terrible
tragedy had been enacted, as a large
pool OF blood was yet standing on the
floor, and the worst fears were enter
tanned. Mr.. Drummer was sitting in
front of his house talking with some of
his neighors until about II clock, and
nothing in his conversation indicated
anything wrong. After retiring he be-
came uneasy, but his wife quieted him
and put him in bed, laying down be.
side him. At 2 O'Clock she was awak.
ened by his groans and found him
weltering in his own blood on the floor
in front of the bed, with a razor lay
ing beside him. She 1t once aroused
their nearest noighbor, Mr.. and Mrs.
Holl, and then fastened to summon
Frank Dashbach, while Mr.. Holl went
tor DR.. Muller. They had hardly gone,
however, when Drummer arose and
rushed wildly down the back stairs
and out into the darkness, muttering
incoherently as he ran. AS he went
past Mrs. Holl, she called to him and
begged him to stay, but the louder she
called the faster he ran. Search was
at once made for him, but as the night
was very dark nothing could be done
until daylight.
at day dawn tho search was re-
sumed and ho was easily tracked to
the rivers edge, but from his foot
prints in the sand it appeared he had
turned back from the river, and it was
at first thought that he might have
hidden in the peninsula. The finding
OF his body in the river about II
o'clock by some boys who were bath
ing determined his fate, however.
When his body was taken out of the
water it was ascertained that he had
cut three horrible gashes into the side
| of his throat, one of them being at
least two inches deep, and it is a riddle
how he ever got to the river, as the
loss of blood from the terrible wounds
| must have been great. Mr.. Drummer
has been 4 resident of West New ton
up to within week, but he lately
bought part Of Mr.. G.. Friton's proper
| ty on the corner of Mimi. and Sd N.
| streets, and had moved his family hi
ther for the pu. pose of taking posses
sion on July LIST. Since moving int O
town he seems to have regretted his
step, and at times was greatly depress.
ed in mind. He has had spells of men.
tai alteration for the past three years,
and it is supposed that he took his life
while suffering in one of these fits of
insanity. He leaves a wife and five
| small children to mourn his untimely
death.

More BJlrglarics.

a number of buildings were clandis-
timely entered by some scalawags last
Wednesday night and several petty
burglaries perpetrated. 1t appears
that John Lauterbach's shop on State
street was first visited by the midnight
providers, and arming themselves with
ono of Johns chisels they sailed forth.
Mr.. NJ. Lauterbach's saloon, har,l by,
was entered, the aforenamcd chisel
being used to pry open a window.
Once in the room, the cash drawer be-
hind the counter was soon opened, but
nothing of value was found, and the
gents contented themselves with few
cigars. Joe Vogel, whose saloon was
also visited, did not escape so luckily.
AS misfortune would have it he that
evening forgot to empty the cash draw
err upon retiring, and the thiefs got
away with its contents, about 500, and
some SIS in old coin which he kept in
another drawer. An entrance, in this
instance, was gained by one Of the
doors. An effort was also made to pill.
lage Geo. Haas saloon, but the noise
awakened Mr.. and Mrs. Haas and the
fellow (all that was SEEM took leg bail
not, however, until Mr.. Haas aimed at
him with an empty gun. Pity that
gun wasn't loaded with good sized
buckshot just then. The chap got NJ
and busted in such hurry that he for
got to take the chisel with him, ant
Mr.. J. Lauterbach claimed his proper
ty the next day. Mrs. Bergman's an(
Mr.. Wolfgangs premises we've also Wis
tied, but in each case the burglars were
frightened away before securing an!
booty. The town appears to have beer
full of 'em, although no arrests wer'
made. The authorities Swallowed :
"freo and easy" going chap on Satur
day, but nothing came of it. Moral:-
Keep your guns loaded and don't hest
tate to empty them when occasion re-
quires.

The German comedy CDR. Claus,'

The German comedy cdr. Claus.
was played by our amateurs to a crowd
ed house at Turner Hall last Sunday
night. The actors appeared in their
best elements, and it was apparent that
they had studied their lines .nore close.
ly than is usually the case. The piece
was rendered without a jar and seemed
to be highly appreciated by all present.
CDR. Claus was winning card and
Melted quite handsomely for Mr.. Ed.

ment had been gotten up.
