Ezekiel Goodell, Esq, came very
near passing the portals on Sunday
evening, through the poisonous effects
of corrosive sublimate, administered by
his own hand and for the prime pupOst
of self.destruction. He was discovered
soon after swallowing the death dose
and through the prompt and effective
efforts of DR.. Davis his lite wassaved.
By the time the Doctor arrived at Good
dcll's house, the vict i'm was in convul.
siOns, and the wonder is he did not sue
cumb to the poison. Family difficulty
was the canse of the rash act. On
Monday morning, IN company with his
brother, Goodcll HE'D himself away t.
Wisconsin, where, out from under tho
shadow of domestic troubles he will
doubtless gain relief and thank hi:
lucky stars that he escaped the death he
once 50 unnaturalIy sought.

The Axe Works.

The Stock Company formed in tins
city nearly year ago for the purpose OF
establishing IN axe factory in Mankato
while as yet having received no divi
dcnds, nor even made any axes, have al
last set the ball in motion for Il perma
ncnt industry in our midst that will
eventually be power in our manuiac
turing interests.
For n few weeks past Mr.. Evans OF
st. Louis, has had small force of men
at work manufacturing what is known
rs the Butler Tubular Wrought Iron
Fence Post, one of the ncatcst and most
readily adjusted post ever made. While
only about one mile of posts are ut pres.
cnt being turned ont per day, the capa
city of the shops is fully ten times that
amount, and ready sale can bc found
for every post that could he made. BE-
sides manufacturing posts, castings of Il
superior kind and ofany desired pattern
is made on application.
A meeting of the stock holders has
been called tor July eth at which time
the new works will be named and
such alterations made in the articles OF
incorporation us are necessary for the
transaction of business which the Iii.
restors may decide upon.
The Superintendent, Mr.. Evans, is Il
gentleman thoroughly familiar with the
foundry and machine business, and
when matters are shaped so that he can
go ahead with his work, we may expect
something to give way.

The St. Peter Creamery.

Last weeks FREE PRESS contained
an item in regard to the st. Pete
creamery. representing that the propri
ctor thereof had on his hands aquantity
of leaky butter, and that he had been
forced to suspend operations for the
present. The item was given, as VIZ
supposed, on good authority, but subse.
qucnt and known authentic informa.
ton has been received mt this Office
which rcfutes In whole the item above
referred to.
1t being farthest from our intention
To do Mr. housewife nm injustice in this
matter, we feel it duty as well as II
pleasure TO copy IL brief extract from Il
private letter addressed to us, which is
self explanatory, and We trust that til:
st. Peter creamery may suffer nothing
from the previous item which appeared
in these columns.
That item about our creamery and
leaky butter, which you published last
week Is all wrong. The proprietor has
not stopped worked, but Is making 600
or 800 pounds of butter day all the
time. The COWS can't get leaks where
they feed, because there are none. He
has made no leaky butter, and had no
complaint about it.

The committee on Dairy Board of

Nv ncighbor Odum was in the habit
OF leaving his large cotton baskets in
the field at night. These baskets were
at the end Of the rows and near hepub-
lie road. One night he left several of
these basket in the field. Next morn
ing two or these of them were missing.
II had rained the night before, and it
was not difficult To follow the track Of "A
Onc-horse wagon that had evidently
carried away the baskets. Mr.. Odum,
with trusty negro, who was also inter-
ested in the cotton, pursued, following
the track without difficulty till ii
brought them to the humble residence
of George Washington, colOred citi-
zen, where they found cotton spread
out upon the floor, and wet-evidently
but recently placed there; The man
and his wife denied that it had
been stolen; said it was their
own cotton, and SO far II
seemed not possible to identify the cot
ton. However, they secured George
and then continued to follow the wagon
track to beyond the house about half a
mile in the woods, where they found
the wagon and empty baskets. This
was too much for the namesakc OF the
immortal patriot. He owned up, and
said: "Gentlemen, ] can't tell a lie

It warn't my fault. II was Mr.. Odum's
fault. He had no business to put dat
cotton so fare to be took. ] can't tell

time was dat my waggin wasn't big
enough to take all dem buskets. I'd a
