The Redfeld Dispatch says of the bean
question: "The bean crop of Buffalo county,
in south Dakota, is estimated at IA, 900 bush
els. Several eastern parties are turning their
attention to that county with view to es-

the famous Boston brand"

paper has in it's office turnips weighing three
pounds, potatoes about as large, oats five
feet seven inches high, with 1856 grains upon
one of the heads, and all other products in

The Huron Times has this mention of the
preacher who shot his wife in Chicago last
week and tried to kill himself, (having a
hallucination that he had done some Jury to
Dakota: ''Those who attended the banquet
to Bishop Fallows about year ago, will re-
member that the Rev. Fl. NJ. Collision. par
italy deaf Chicago clergymen, was present,
and responded to a toast. He was making a
tour of Dakota and was full Of praise for the
territory"
this conclusion from the feeling in the south
''Captain Raymond is the only candidate
prominently before the people as yet, and il
| is evident that he will not receive a suffi-
cient support to insure his denomination.
/ In fact, despite the talk that is INDUCED in
| regarding dozen or more gentlemen well
known in territorial politics, it is evident
that horse SO particularly dark that not
| even a glimpse has as yet been obtained OF
| him will capture the honor supposed to CEN
ter upon the delegateship."
| At the recent convention Of the press Of
central Dakota, this resolution, among others
on the subject, was adopted ''That if it be-
I comes apparent that congress at its next SEES
sion viii not approve the Sioux Falls cons ti-
| tuition nor provide for the meeting Of an other
! constitutional convention, we are In favor OF
the passage of bill by the territorial legis-
lature, under which such a convention can
/ be called" BY holding Il convention BIZ
action OF the legislature, provision would be
made for paying expenses, but it would not
/ afford any assurance of admission.
