Rev. ]. N. Liscomb, Presiding FL
der of the Winnebago City district,
winch includes the territory from Aus
tin west on the S NJ. road, has removed
his family to this city, where he will
reside during his incumbency in his
present position. While Mankato is a
little out of the Elders district, he real
lied the fact that Mankato presented
exceptional inducements in the way of
education, and wisely concluded to
give his children these advantages even
though he might be slightly inconYcn-
fenced himself 10y so doing. Mr.. Lis
comb has rented, and is now in posses
sion of what is known as the Judson
Davis house, in the 4th ward. The
people of Mankato extend to the Elder
and his estimable family cordial well
come to our city, and will no doubt try
aud make their stay pleasant as well as
profitable.

William Cheshire, young man
twenty-four years of age was last
Wednesday adjudged insane and taken
to the asylum at st. Peter. For some
months, in fact since the sudden death
of his father, the young man has at
various times given evidence of tempo
Iary alteration, aud for the past two
weeks he has experienced very few
rational moments. At times he mag.
ined himself Jesus Christ, then ms
malady would take another phase, and
he would pronounce himself a second
Guiteau. He threatened the lite, so we
are told, of young man VINO is en-
gagged in telegraphy here, thinking
that by doing away with him he might
be reinstated to the position formerly
held in the same Office by himself
When he was brought to DR.. Davis
office for examination, and while Judg,
Mead was out TO call in physicians fol
consultation upon his mental and phys
ical condition, Cheshire was left il
charge of Chief Young. Mr.. Young
not thinking the fellow would make al
effort to escape, took no precaution t.
secure him, and he started out of tin
Office Instantly, and ran fiarc Fly for TIL
bridge and was caught when about hal
way over. lie was then returned to thu
DR.. s office, had in examination ant
sent to st. Peter as before stated. /
is great pity that so promising 4
young man as MIR. Cheshire should moe
with such an awful afliicti"n, and tn
sympathies ct this community ar
aroused to their depths for the uniortu
nate fellow and his grief -strickcl
mother.
For some Two weeks past, an activ
correspondence has been carried o
from this city, with the officers Of tn
Northwestern Dairymenis Association
with the view of having the next an
nual meeting of that body held j
Southwestern Minnesota. The last COZ
ventiOn was held at Geneva Lake, Wis
: in February of this year, with an a
tendance of 400 or 500 delegates froi
abroad. 1t is the opinion of man
prominent men that no one thing woul
. do as much for this section, to bring
before the world, rs the gathering {
the representative men in the dairy AL
stock interests. in council in Southwes
> ern Minnesota. The matter was brougl
to the attention of the Board OF Trac
of this city OF Monday morning Of tn
) week, and marked expression of a.
probation at what had been done WI
j given, in the Unanimous appointmel
d of committee to appear before Il
city council, to see if certain thin,
u would be done by that body, to help {
= the movement. That the council wi
;. do all that was asked for, is believed
c the committee. Illinois and Visions
owe much to this Dairymen's Associ
: ton for what they are in the dairy j
e dustry. Good will certainly come
o this section, if the gathering only tax
&c place out here. The matter will be la
J. before the Land and immigration A
