Railroad Notes.

One hundred and sevcnty.five men
have been at work night and day on the
Southern Minnesota road since last
week Friday, shOveling snow, and
haven't succeeded in clearing the road
yet.
A new engine No. 34S, direct from
the shop, is now running on the Wells
branch, with George Bannister as engi-
necr. George had the misfortune of
losing all Of his household goods and
800 in money by fire . few days ago
at Lacrosse.
The Sioux city road has been more
or less blocked all winter, causing our
mails to be irregular, but they have
been more fortunate in not cncountcring
the huge drifts that those roads have
that run East and West.
The Northwestern road has been kept
pretty clear of snow, but there has been
Il great scarcity OF cars with which to
transport the immense quantities of
wood that has accumulated at Eagle
Lake and other places.
The laborers on the Wells branch at
the depot in this place have worked at
the raising of the grade under great
disadvantage this winter, but they have
succeeded in filling quite u cavity with
stone and earth, and hopes are enter
tanned that they will soon be able to
lay the iron into town.

In pcrusing the list of committees Of
the legislature, we find the members
from this county apportioned as follows ::
Senator Buck is ON the judiciary, cleo
tions, education, deaf, dumb and blind,
and on the joint standing committee of
taxes and tax laws.
Bookwalter, on railroads, hospital for
the insane, and on the joint committee
on taxes and tax laws.

Hawkins, on public lands, bridges and

Lewis, on manufactures and State re.

1t is but justice to say that Burger is
in his element, and we may anticipate
some radical changes in military affairs,
which is greatly needed, and the Nor

The improvements that are in con-
temptation for the coming season in this
city, are likely to predominant over any
previous year. What we want mostly
is manufactures; something that pro-
duces as well as consumes. Mankato
presents features for the establishment
of manufactures that cannot be excellcd
plenty of wood, water, and stone,
in the State. Here can be found
in fact every natural facility that is re.
quircd to make successful and pros
porous point. In the back ground of
ali these features is II farming country,
the fertility and durability of which, is
unexccllcd. And we have often Won
dcrcd why so many farmers with means
coming from the East, will pass by our
fertile lands and other facilities and go
hundreds of miles further West, beyond
the bounds of civilization, and wait the
growth Of the country, when in fact
they can do far better right here with
markets and schools established.

realized his dissolution. About two weeks
since, appetite failing him, DIR. McMichael
was called, who, after n careful examination,
said that no medical treatment was required.

Normal school Items.

The attendance at the Normal School
the present term is larger than for any
previous term in some years. The inter
mediate pupils can no longer find seats
i'll the chapel at morning exercises, and
one new row of seats has been added
to accommodate the regular Normal
students.
The reading room is nearly ready for
use. The carpet and other furniture are
in place, and only the large table, To
which Mr. Klein is adding the finishing
touches, is wanted To complete all the
appointments of the room. Meanwhile.
every mail brings an installment of
periodicals, 50 that the table will be well
supplied with these from the first.
The library, which is soon To be moved
to the reading room, is to he materially
enlarged by the addition of various I'M
portant works of reference. \ larger
library Prof. Soaring considers the most
important need of the school. and Direc-
tor Pitcher and the rest of the Board are
in full accord with his views.
Ii is expected that at an early day an
additional teacher will be secured To give
instruction in the school during the win
ter. and 10 conduct institutes in this sec
ton OF the state in the spring and fall
The services OF an additional teacher of
high qualifications i greatly needed in
the school even now, owing partly to the
necessary division OF the very large Pre-
paratory and &C" classes into sections.

and in 50 successful operation last term.

We received letter last Tuesday
from Dell Rapids, Oak, which is at the
western terminus of the Southern Min
ncsota division. in which the writer
states that there has been 10000 bush
els Of wheat shipped from that station
the past winter, and reliable parties as
scrt that there remains to ship fully
100000 bushels more. These figures
are remarkable, when we take into con-
sideration the fact that the great bulk
Of tins country only two years ago was
wholly undeveloped. 1t is the strong
est evidence obtainable OF the rapidity
with which emigration is forcing itself
westward.
