A heavy rain storm accompanied by
thunder and lightning visited this
place last night. 1t was much needed
jnst now, for late potatoes and garden
vegetables were suffering for want of
rain. Wheat and oats were consider
ably thrown down, but will not dam
age the crop, only make more work to
harvest it. Winter wheat and bar
ley is all in the stack In good order.
Several have threshed their winter
wheat. and report good yield and Of
No. l quality. H. p. Lowe, am in
formed, sold his entire crop to E. NJ.
Britts. of Verndale, for $l.50 per
bushel, for seed. Our town treasu-
rer, not being able to do all the duties
of his Office. has deputy to assist
him; weight, pounds; entered the
office about two weeks ago. That is
why Zeba looks so happy. e. A.
Burton has moved from his claim in
the timber to WOodside Prairie for
his health. e. p. Yarnell will
thresh his wheat and barley to-mor-
row.. S. H. Gilmore has gone to
Mankato; will be gone a few weeks.

he could not live long; lie has the
dropsy.. Rev. A. G. Wolcott's chill.

Seven Girls and Their Diamonds.
From the Boston journal.
Seven young ladies were perceived in horse
car, of whom not one had both gloves on and
none were wholly bare-handed.- OF these four
had gloves on their right hands and three on
their left, and in every instance the ungloyed
hand lay in the lap above the other. All of the
seven bare hands had diamond rings upon them
and whenever any attentions were needed BY
the hair or raiment of the ladies in every instance
the ungloved hand was employed to bestow
them, and In the necessary movements the stones
flashed and glittered very much. And when. as
happened in process of time, the seven young
ladies left the car one after the other, four Of
them waved their left hands to the conductor to
direct him to stop and the other three agitated
their right hands, and again the rings sparkled
quite copiously. All Of which was very curious
and interesting to the scientific mind.

The Charlestown district as everybody here

mounted men is expected to be prominent

figure in it are at present zealously searching
after horses to carry them upon the important
occasion. It will surprise many persons who
may have thought the supply of horses almost
inexhaustible, to learn that they have encount-
cred serious difficulties in this endeavOr. An ex-
PLANTATION of this fact, however, is found to be
that they are not to be satisfied with any and
every horse that Is offered to them. This is
shown by the following conversation, which re-
