ly, too. The sap is absorbed by the rapid
formation of wood and leaves; the wood
laid bare in pruning soon becomes scared,
the healing process around the edges of
the wood beginning Immediately. and
there is little chance for decay. Be sure
to leave no stubs, but cut close to the
trunk or branch from which the pruned
limb is detached.
Archibald Lang, of the town of Lon
don, died at his home May I'd, after a
rather brief illness, aged seventy years.
Mr.. Lang was native of Scotland, COM

the oldest settlers in the town, well-to-do

truest men.-Aibert Lea Enterprise, 1871

Alderman Phillips has contracted for
60 or 10 cords of "hard- heads" to be used
in the abutments to the new Bridge street
| bridge. He has contracted for them from
farmers, and says they are much better
| than any stone we can get, and will come
half cheaper than imported stone. He
wants about 105 cords. The contract was
let on the basis of the cost of imported
stone, and by a provision in the contract
the city is to have the benefit of the diff
ference in price if other stone is furnished
by the city.

Friday evening the great violinist,
Remenyi, and his excellent concert com.
pany, appeared in Jones hall to a small
but enthusiastic and delighted audience
We expected fine treat, but the enter
tainment was far beyond our most san
guine expectations. The London Times
says Remenyi is indispensable, and the
N. Y. Past pronounces him the greatest
player that has yet appeared in this coun-
try. His playing was a lighting, flashing
blaze of rich melody, and we shall long
remember the rare fascination of his mas
tcrly touches.

ton at the opera house on Saturday even

felt well repaid for their attendance The
contest was decided in favor of the Austin
| gentlemen by a small margin, and when
we consider that they had much the adj
vantage in age and experience over the
Albert Lea disputants, it must be acknow-
lodged that the latter did extremely we'll
In fact, we do not believe there is another
town in this state which can turn out four
disputants no older then they who are
their equals. The whole affair passed off
pleasantly and the Austin gentlemen made
a good impression here.-Standard, 1871
