If language is the vehicle of thought
and feeling; and if thought and feelings
are the spontaneous expression of the
mind, there must be some dark, crooked,
and even filthy minds in Kasson. The
amount of profanity and vulgarity that
roll from the ton CUES of the men and
boys on our streets, should be a saluta-
ry lesson to the older members of society,
to improve themselves by cultivating
chastity of language, and teaching the
rising generation by example. No mind
can be chaste and pure that habitually
employs low explosives to express its
thoughts. Language, as we before said
is the vehicle of the product of mind, and
by it alone can we judge the state of the
mind. If you would be respected, and
rise in the world, cultivate a simple, pure
and truthful style of expression, free from
profanity and vulgarity, bombast and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Republican.
These are our views, and the man or
boy who has always an oath upon his
tongue, can be set down at once as bad
man, full of evil thoughts, and unfit for
respectable companionship.

foundation for any such belief. The ami.

pork'was taken was apparently healthy.

fattened hog, selected for these qualities,

twelve, none of which weighed less than
1926 pounds. All were young hogs about
Is months old. There were several fami-
lies beside Mr.. Nast's which ate from
the hog that produced the disease, but as
they had the pork thoroughly cooked, a.

Dr. Clemmers family had used of il
