of 4th of July celebrations in nearly every

fo g., vk
faith of the "untutored' to celebrate the
jubiees of their exterminators.
The paper at MinDewaukon on DEVILS

but will do so before snow flies"
Pierre is in luck in getting the conven-
tions Of both parties. The locating of the
Republican convention there is thought to
indicate that the south will use its larger vote
to nominate man of its own for delegate
and not take Col Raymond. If it has
man that it can unite on this will evidently
be the scheme. The late date also favors it.
The Mitchell Republican relates in illustra-
ton of the rapidity with which things grow in
the wonderful climate and soil that Major

Manitoba and Dakota is great. Here the
weather is sHpernal, crops promising an
abundant harvest ard all nature clothed in
the glittering grandeur of celestial para

The Casselton Rsporter, in the midst of the
great bonanza farms, says of one Of them as
sample of all: The grain on the Alton farm,
southeast of town On N. Dalrymple, man
ager), comprising some 10000 acres, is uni
form in appearance, well advanced and
promises good yield. stranger will have
some idea Of the extent of this farm (only
one Of the immense Dalrymple system) from
the statement Of the manager who informed
