MIR. GEORGE ". FEIDI,

AS will be seen by proceedings
elsewhere, the republicans of the
XIII Senatorial District, NOM
mated this gentleman for the
State Senate. Mr.. Feidt came
here from Clearspring, Maryland,
just beyond McCoy's Ferry. He
is the son of very prominent
farmer of that section. He came
here and read law in the office of
Blackburn Il Lamon, was admit
ted to the bar of Berkeley coun-
ty, and has been practicing law
about ten years. He has proved
himself an honorable and useful
citizen, and has always taken a
deep interest in the success and
prosperity of our people. He is
well and prominently known as a
Mason and Knight of Honor. He
has served as Deputy Dis trict
Grand Master and Deputy Grand
Lecturer, of the Masons and
served full term as Grand Dicta-
torof the Grand Lodge, X. of H.,
OF the State, and as a representa-
tiveto the Supreme Lodge of the
United States. This speaks well
for him, and presents him promi-
nently and deservedly so to the
people as worthy of consideration
and confidence. He is opposed to
illegal assessment, supplemental
assessment and imbued with suf-
ficent independence to stand up
firmly for the rights of the peo-
pie.

A VISIT FROM THE JUDGES
The Judges of the Court of Appeals
of this State, now in session at
Charlestown, consisting of President
johnson and Judges Green, Snyder
and Woods, accompanied by their
accomplished Clerk, Mr.. Long, hon
Ored our city with visit on Thurs
day last. They came in compliance
with a special invitation of Judge
Faulkner to dine with him, and to
witness our Agricultural Exhibit
ton. They dined with the Judge
at 2 O'Clock and thence proceed
ed in carriages to the fair ground.
They expressed themselves highly
delighted with the display of horses,
cattle, grain, poultry, vegetables,
&c., but especially with the exhibits
in Floral Hall. They took supper
in the evening with Hon. Chas. ].
Faulkner, and left on the night train
for Charlestown.
This we understand is the first oc-
casion in which the Judges, during
term time, have INDUCED themselves
with such trip of recreation and
pleasure, which they considered
quite allowable, as the business of
that appellate district has been
nearly brought to a close. What
ever diversity of opinion may exist
as to the soundness of some of the
recent opinions of that court, and
this paper has been very free in its
comments upon them, all concede to
that court a laborious and industri-
Gus application to the duties of their
Office.

\ recent letter from Mr.. W. r.. Whid-
den bears the intelligence of a sad
sorely sad, bereavement that has come
upon Mrs. Whidden and himself. The
letter, Dated at New York on March LIST,
and addressed to Beecher Cox. tells the
sorrowful tale so concisely that WE have
asked liberty to give the following ex-
tract
II got back here from Nova Scotia
last night; left there suddenly last We'd
nesday, having received a telegram say
ing Victor had diphtheria. and now how
shall write or what shall say for the
dear friends in Cooperstown. Deep
shadows haye crossed our pathway and
the road is rough and steep. The light
has gone from our household and Joy
from our hearts. for to-day we laid our
darling boy, our first born. our little
man Victor, away in "Woodlawn Gem
etery." and you dear boy. nor amy of the
loving friends in Cooperstown. can ever
see him again except by Gods grace YOU
Heaven. Oh. Beecher. the thoughts of
going back without him makes my heart
ache, and the house will be empty and
our hearts will be sore as one after an
other of his little things turn up to sight
and we are asking, why, oh why, has
God dealt with us thus?"
Little Victor was three years Old last
December, and to be thus pluclled from
the tender care of his idoizjng parents.
just in the bloom of boyhood must in

Victor was wont to call himself. with
an earnest. noble. deep parental levo-
t'on. and their strong natures have re-
ceived Il Shock that may seem binding
to them. To their host of friends here,
many of whom had learned to love little
Victor. their bereavement was indeed Il
sad piece Of news. They know how
deeply the father and mother must suf-
fer: they realize what All awful trial it
will be for them to return home without
their beloved one; they know that their
hearts are bleeding i'm this their severe
trial, and sincerely share the bitter dregs
; of compassionate grief that has settled
in their cup.

Some idea of Dakota s increase of pop
ulation by incoming settlers last year
can now be made from land office re-
ports. The grand total of entries by
hn mestead and pre-emption last year
was 1860, which multiplied by the
modest figure Of three gives popula-
tion of 14O.O07. Each entry represents a
head of a family or single person of
age. The average Dakota settler has a
gootl-siZed family. 4 Farmer Feagle

is told Of, who has fifteen in his family.
all at home on his quarter section. The
settlement in the Deadwood district is
unreported, and the DEVILS Lake dis
trict has come but recently in the mar
ket; vet the settlement in each is nut
merous-certainly several thousand. To
these add settlers on railroad lands and
in the villages, and we can credit Dakota
with 100000 new population last year.

The Girl who Proves Up.

Coming out of the land office Monday,
a Herald reporter passed Il group of
three young ladies who had Just proved
up after six months residence ON claims.
One could not help noticing, as the
writer has often observed without not
ing before. how little the sex ullsexes
itself, and how greatly it's best charms
are enhanced, in the person of these
nslidens, mostly from seventeen to
twenty-five. who have gone through All
ordeal of pioneer life on their own behalf.
which would shame the luNury-loving
and etteminate men of eastern cities.
There is Il conscious independence in
the erect and sturdy figure. in the firm,
elastic step, in the evidence of Natures
masterpiece of bealty-perfect health,
i'll the clear bright eye, the cheek car
mined with roses fresh from the pure
heart-blood of our young and blooming
womanllood, and in the easy and grace
full carriage in which there is nothing of
the 'girly-girl." but everything OF the
womanly woman. And with such a
womanhood, Dakota may be sure that
it's coming generations will not shame
the robust manhood of it's pioneers.-

Have Waited and Will Come.

One month from the present time the
pioneers in this great Northwest will he
perfectly amazed at the unprecedented
influx of emigration. The warm: gen
tie zephyrs of Dakota's ideal spring will
not dissolve the immaculate shroud ON
our beautiful prairies, before every live
town will be filed with tllromgs of am
bilious home seekers. Although abun-
bant. every means of transportation will
be fairly glutted with living freight.
For the past two OF three years, hun
dreds upon hundreds of discouraged
easterners have awaited the results of
friends adventures in this new El Dora
do. They have had every evidence nee
essary to convince them that Dakota is
possessed of more merits than even the
most sanguiI.e ever dreamed OF, and
they are coming to this grand north
western empire. They are coming with
their families and herds. and in not a
few instances, with considerable capital
to occupy the fairest land that ever re-
fected back Gods gracious smiles from
its rich, productive bosom. Dunbar
