Protection for Sheep.

If one 1.-THE Of the time cur legisla-
tors consume in discussing, amending
and passing intricate bills whose virtues
are for the protection of evils to arise in
the possible future, was given towards
legisla,ing for the needs and require
ments of the present, they would be
more highly esteemed by their constitu-
ents at home. Why has not the inn
portance of enacting a stringent law
for the protection of sheep against dogs,
ever occurred to our law makers, espe-
cially to those whose chief constituency
is the agricultural class! Such law
strictly enforced, would be great
benefit to. all that have endeavOred to
raise sheep. But as long as worthless
cur whose only virtue is to bite and
bark is held in higher esteem than q
sheep, who is almost constant source
of revenue to its owner, sheep raising
will prove an Improbable branch of
farming. Let some member OF the
Legislature consider the necessity of such
a requirement and incorporate in it
provisions which, if enforced, will
make the penalty Of dog killing or
manning sheep SO severe that the
owner of the dog will think twice be-
fore he allows his dog to jump once
into sheep fold.

Reports reach us from the country
districts that there is a good deal of
dissatisfaction throughout the country
districts with the Republican county
ticket, chiefly growing out of the prac-
tice which has prevailed for some years
past of the Republicans of the city
monopolizing the nominations, to the
exclusion of equally competent and
deserving men from the country towns
-ReUis,o.
1t is very evident that the reports
quoted above must have come from
very inconsistent persons who took but
little pains to investigate the facts, fol
if they had, they would have ascertained
that the Republican party nominated
two candidates for the two best offices
in the county from the country districts
viz Mr.. VIM. Jones, Of Lake Crystal,
for treasurer, and Mr.. w. T. Matthews
of South Bend, for Register, while the
Democrats nominated only one candi
date for "a leading office from the
country districts, viz Mr.. Peter Kre'
mer, of Danvills, for treasurer. AL.
though the country delegates at the
Democratic convention fought long and
hard for more representation, yet they
were finally overcome by the very ones
who now cry against the Republican
party for usurping all of the most i'm
portant offices in the city.

The city Of Fargo, Dakota, appears
to be strong magnet for the restless
spirits to be found in every town, either
large or small. It's wonderful growth
is looked upon as marvellous, and the
predictions that its future destines are to
surpass St. Paul or Minneapolis in
commercial importance, is leading many
who are already doing successful bust.
ness in different portions of the State,
to sacrifice sure thing and take all the
chances that this new city presents.
One case for illustration Mr.. NJ. N.
Leland, the heaviest business man at
Wells, has lately returned from a pros
pecting trip to Fargo, and became SC
infatuated with its remarkable attrac-
tons that he is DESTROYS to close out the
property he has already accumulated al
Wells, and move to Fargo and enter
the maelstrom of its superticiality. He
has been very fortunate thus far in
business and has accumulated quite 8
little property, much larger aggregate
than most men at his age, and he may
by making the change he contemplate
strike rich bonanza, but the chances
are that he will afterwards consider the
truthfulness of the old adage, "that {
bird in the hand is worth two in the
BUSH"

Sudden Death.

Mr.. Henry Loucks, of Belgrade, died
suddenly at the Clifton House in this
city on Sunday morning last, October
s3rd, Of what was thought to be paraly-
sis of the throat and stomach. Mr.
Loucks came to the city on the Satur,
day previous, bringing load Of hay
which he disposed of and took lodging
at the Clifton. At breakfast in the
morning he appeared to choke, as from
some obstruction in the throat, and
being helped from the room he fell as
if in fit, and being conveyed to bed
expired in short time, medical assist,
ance being of no avail. Mr.. LOucks
was widely known to residents Of oul
city and vicinity in the grocery and
baking business under the firm OF
Loucks u Loring, fer some ten or fifteen
years. He was of kind and genial
temperament, warm in his friendships,
and possessed of good business talents,
but the trail of that serpent, love of in
toxicating drinks, wrecked him in the
prime of life, leaving wife and three
children to mourn his sudden and pre-.
mature death.

Query Answered.

Editors Free Press:
Your Mapleton correspondent asks :
"Where is our S. S. Convention ?"-The
Blue Earth county s. S. Association
holds only one annual convention in
each year. The last convention was
held in the Presbyterian church in Man
kato. The annual convention for the
year 1882, will be held at such time and
place as the executive committee shall
determine. Each town in Blue Earth
county has one vice. president, who has
the supervision of all the S. schools Of
his own town, and is presumed to know
their requirements. Each commissioner
district has member of the executive
committee, whose duty it is to hold, in
each year, as many s. s. teachers insti
tutes as the schools of his district re
auire. Local conventions and institutes
are held only in this way by the Blu,
Earth county S. 8. Association. The s.
s. workers of Mankato will be glad t.
render any assistance in their power il
holding institutes in other parts of til,
county whenever invited to do 70.

In ordinary seasons, the importation
of cabbages into this country from
foreign nations would be classed among
those short sighted commercial exploits
dignitied with the name of carrying
Goals to Newcastle But this season
has been failure in this vicinity, and

of vegetables at Baltimore was cargo
of eight thousand cabbages from Olden-
burg, which arrived by the steamer
Leipzig on Sunday last.

1t is evident to the average reader OF
the st. Paul Uispatch that its editor, III.
A. Castle, is making a thorough ass OF
himself. His assumption that the
DispateA is the representative of the Re
publican party in this State is fast being
dispelled by the personal abuse it heaps
upon Republicans for not wearing the
straight-laced jackets sold by the
Dispatch. Its editor, being the secretary
OF the State Republican committee,
should deem it his duty to sslidify the
various elements Of the party instead of
widening the breach by his uncalled fol-
vituperations. And if it were moi
a TACT that the State is thoroughly
Republican, the position Mr.. Castle
assumes would prove an incalculable
detriment.
