The Academy of Natural Science St.
Paul, is enjoying course of free geolog-
ical lectures by our old friend, Prof. Ed
ward Daniels. Speaking of one of the
lectures, the Globe says: 'The lecture
was illustrated by numerous rare and
beautiful specimens and illustrations and
was listened to with marked attention.
"A gentleman who remained over
Sunday at the Flcck House, must have
been occupying the ragged edge" He
was resident of Kansas on his way to
Marshalltown to be married. The poor
). fellow was snow bound two days at Fari-
bault, and sat on the anxious seat three
or four days at the Fleck House, and
was nearly week behind time.

Virgins says the storm of the 9th of
March will be one Of the greatest, if not
the greatest of this century. That it
may break Immediately south Of India,
but there are three chances to one that
it will be strongest on this side of the
earth, that is in the vicinity of Bermuda
and the Gulf of Mexico. 1t will be felt
all over the world from sea to sea and
from pole to pole. Virgins is the chap
who so correctly predicted the severe
stormy cold weather of January.
Mr.. Majors, of Austin, was in the
city last week looking the ground over
with view to establishing a butter and
egg packing establishment, believing
Albert Lea to be an excellent place
for such business. He examined the
late Andrew Palmer's building and appar-
atus, which he may purchase.-Aldert Lea
Enterprise.
We think it very doubtful about Mr.
Majors leaving Austin. With our new
railroad next season, our city will dis
count Albert Lea by several points.
e. P. Kilroy. graduate of the Aus
tin public SCHOOL, now located at Angus
Polk county, in this state. He is station
agent of the St. p, M. & Manitoba r. r.
which runs through the place-also tele-
graph operator, express agent, and post
master. And this is not all, as he deals
in coal and lumber. We think Mr.. Kilroy
is equal to the task. He is known here
as a steady, faithful. intelligent young
man, and he has our best wishes for sue
cessful career in his new field of labor.
1t is with regret we learn that Rev. |
r. G. Spafford and wife are soon to |
chan &c their residence fromAustin to Still
water, where he goes to accept the pastor
ate of the Universalist church of that |
city. Though not agreeing with him in
Christian faith, yet, as most courteous
gentleman, of the purest character, and |
as man of warm and true friendships, we |
heartily recommend him to the good peo- !
pie of Saltwater. We are very sorry to |
have him and his most estimable wife |
leave our city.
Wonder if the waiting congregations,
who bow their heads in prayer at the
many different, sanctuaries in our land,
ever remember the poor newspaper man |
who is always too busy through the week |
to find much time to pray for himself,
and too tired Sunday. Perhaps the de-
vout ones do remember him in their boun- |
tiful store of petitions. Prayer would |
be about the only favor we know Of that |
the average editor could hope to receive
without giving in return about four times |
the value in puffs.
When our ship comes in we expect to !
do great things, all of us. Reader, do !
you know that we are all waiting for a |
ship to come INF Do you know that we |
all cherish that vague hope Of something
coming to pass some day that will better
our fortunes, or in some way make us
happiers And SO many of US go on.
year after year, still hoping, still watch
ing and waiting, only to meet disappoint-
ment at last. And then, when time and
longing wear US out, we sigh, and YEARLY
turn our faces to the wall and die. Our
hope of heaven is the only hope that
does not fail U.S. /
