Letter from Minnesota.

ST. CHARLES, Mimi, April D, 1851.
Dear NelCs and Citizen:
| have received the weekly visits OF the
familiar sheet with a cordial welcome.
It is one of my valued friends. | should
like to say few words to my old &C
uuaintances, and to any who have curl
osity about Minnesota. As for myself, L
am pleased with the country. Nature
has been hountiful here as to quality OF
soil. | should Judge that farmer would
be highly pleased with things. We have
cold winters, to be sure, but it seems
from newspaper reports that southern
Minnesota is the only part of the coun-
try that has a comfortable winter, not
even excepting Florida or Texas. L was
raised in Vermont and can truly say 1t
has been, on the whole, one of the most
ENJOYABLE winters l ever knew; steady,
moderately cold and bracing. There is
very little sickness at this time OF the
wear like what / am accustomed to, such
as pneumonia and the other lung diseas-
es. Pulmonary consumption is an lm-
ported disease and very seldom origin
ates here. Diseases of the heart and ner-
vous system are specialties OF this eli
mate.
Winter has given out for good. About
three weeks ago it began to thaw and
farmers will be seeding. | would not
advise young men with a little capital to
90 into Dakota. The land here is neal
market and quite as productive as any OF
the prairie lands. Dakota is no country
for the penniless. unless they are pre-
pared to endure untold hardships for SIX
or eight years. For all that the western
bound trains are filled with emigrants
! Another year there will not be any elig-
IDLE land remaining in Dakota. and we
| think reaction will set in after that, and
this part of Minnesota will be appreeiat-
ed. As a dairy country we have every
advantage, except the eastern markets.
Perhaps L am not specialist in butter,
but will venture to say that a very fine
article is made at the st. Charles cream
cry, and it has been sold mostly at 80
cents all winter.
As to my own work here / am enjoy
ing it. We have fine congregations, es-
pecially on Sunday evenings house
full. The average of Intelligence here i:
high. The people are independent read
ers and thinkers. A good many cOpie:
are taken of such periodicals as Harper's
Monthly, The Century, Popular iScienc,
Monthlg, North american ReUietv, etc. L
: is good place to attempt new methods
and leave the old ruts. / should like t.
get some of my Vermont friends to COM
this way and see for themselves. vii
cheerfully answer inquiries to the bes
OF my ability. Your old friend,
d. II. BICKNELL.

The district convention held at Rut-
land last week resulted in the choice
of Gov. Stewart as candidate Tor
further congressional honors, while
Hon. A. B. Valentine, OF Burlington,
and Hon. Henry Ballard, of Burling-
ton, were named for delegates to Chi
cage, with Hon. P. X. Gleed, of Nor
risville, and Simeon Allen, Esq, of Rut-
land as alternates. OF the &c dele
gates to which this county was enti-
tied, 8 only were present. Parker,
of Cambridge, made strong speech
for Ballard, while A. o. Gates, of the
Morrisville delegation, may be credit
ed with drawing out the captivating
remarks made by Mr.. Ballard, which
told largely in his favor. The delega-
ton is a strong one and will behave
well, no doubt.

Now that the Governor question
seems likely to be settled without fur
Their controversy, who, we inquire
will be likely to take the second place
on the ticket? Gen. Ripley and
E. J. Ormsbee are among the names
prominently mentioned, both of whom
would make efficient and acceptable
officers. The name of j. X. Batch
elder, of Arlington, has also been
on the lips of many. Batchel-
der is one of the brightest men in tae
State; has had legislative experience
and would make capital Lieutenant.

A Valuable Work.

Cyclopedias are popular at the pre-
sent day and justly so. They are
dictionaries of knowledge in general
as common dictionaries are Of words.
A man with a thousand volumes in
his library may be able to obtain
information only on thousand topics,
but a good cyclopedia will furnish
information on forty or fifty thousand.
In some places almost every family
has one. There are large cyciopedias
of great value, but they are too eX-
pensive for people in general. This
has led to the preparation of small
Ter works. OF these the most popular
is 1.-The Peoples Cyclopedia of Uni
versal knowledge" The cream of
large works is condensed into this
and it covers larger range Of sub
jects-5S, 900 in all. 1t is condensed
in style and in printing. There are
twice as many words on a page as
in Appleton's. Its three royal octave
volumes are packed full of the most
valuable information such as almost
every one needs. 1t is also fresh
it has been but recently published
and is revised down to date. The
governors, and state officers of all
the states, and the members of Con-
gress now in session and much other
valuable information of the passed
year are included in the edition for
1884. 1t is also beautifully illustrated,
in this respect surprising all other
cyclopedias. Its three volumes con-
tam 5000 illustrations. Another ex-
cellence is its maps, every state and
territory is represented by a double
page colored map with the peopula-
ton by counties according to the last
census on the back of each. There
are also maps of the principal coun-
tries of the world. These maps alone
are worth half the cost of the work.
And some think that the 200 pages
of invaluable information in the APP
pendixes are worth the whole cost Of
the work. 1t is no wonder it is
popular. Over 10000 sets have
been sold in three years. Like other
Cyclopedias it is sold only by sub
scription. Rev. G.. f. Morse of
st. Johnsbury has been appointed
agent and is having excellent success.
He is now canvassing this place
and it is an excellent opportunity
for the citizens to procure work OF
such value.-1dU.

The constantly tired OUT feeling so
often experienced, is the result of mpov-
erished blood, and consequent enfeebled
vitality. Ayers Sarsaparilla feeds and
enriches the blood, increases the appe-
tite, and promotes digestion of the food,
and the assimilation of its strengthening
qualities. The system being thus invig-
Grated, the feeling rapidly changes to a
grateful sense of strength and energy.

400 pounds of Bradley's Phosphate per
acre, in the hill, will very nearly double
the crop. Potatoes start quickly on
Bradley's Phosphate, and ripen from two
to three weeks sooner than where no
phosphate is used. In regard to phos-
plate doing any good the second year,
would say that had piece of oats last
year where L had potatoes phosphated
i'm the hill the year before. L could see
the potato rows in the oats almost as
far as / could see the oats. That con-
WINGED me that Bradley's Phosphate does

POLISHING THE WRONG END.-Many
men daily polish their boots who never
give Il thought to the condition of their
hair, except to harrow it casually with
brush and comb, or submit to the paralyz-
ing attentions of the average barber.
What happens? Why this: From neglect,
mental anxiety, or any of a score of caus-
es, the hair turns prematurely gray and
begins to fall out. Parker's Hair Balsam
will at once stop the latter process and
restore the original color. An elegant
dressing, free from grease.
