1.-THE local paper" says Whitelaw
Ried, is the best read paper in the world.
All the city papers cannot supply the
place of the home paper. No other con-
tains the marriages and deaths, to say
nothing of divorces and births. No other
paper gives the time for the next ball,
picnic, or political meeting; no other
publishes the "roll of honor" Of the pub
lie schools; no other discusses the affairs
of the town and county, or gives in detail
the local news, which can be obtained
from no other source. Everybody reads
it" and this is why the local paper IS the
best read in the world, and the best adver-
Using medium for its circulation extant.

"A subscriber of the Winona Republt-
can furnishes the following interesting
article as to the profits of poultry. He
commenced the year with 80 hens of the
common strain. They laid eggs durin e
the year as follows: January 70. Febru-
airy 546, March 443, April COS, May $50,
June 1858, July $40, August 34S, Septem-
Der 261, October 172, November IS, De-
ccmber, up to the 18th, Is, total $3.50. AT
20 cents per dozen, which is the average
price, this would amount to $1,000. Dur
ing the season they raised sixty chickens
worth $40, which would cover all ex-
penscs of keeping the brood. The secret
of the success is attributed to good
warm, well-lighted chicken house, kept
scrupulously clean by free use of lime
wash.
We find the following item in the
Chicago Evening Journal of Dec. Goth.
Sherman Day was brother-in-law (hav-
ing married sister, of cur esteemed
townsman, F. King:
Among the deaths last week in San
Francisco was that of Sherman Day, a
pioneer of California. He was the only
son of Dr. Jeremiah Day, for over thirty
years president of Yale College, and his
mother was daughter of Roger Sherman,
one of the slgners of the Declaration OF
Independence. One of his sisters is the
wife of the Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, and
the other wife of Professor Thatcher
of Yale. Mr.. Day was an accomplished
civil engineer. He surveyed the first rail
road between San Jose and Sacramento,
and made one Of the first graded wagon
roads over the Sierras. He held many
public offices Of trust, and was greatly
respected.
The people Of Winona are excited
over a very we'll authenticated report that
B. D. Sprague of Rushford, formerly &
resident of Lansing, in this county, had
sold his mill to C. D. Washburn and D.
Morrison, of Minneapolis, that other cap
itallsts were connected with them, and
that the scheme embraced the purchase OF
every improved or unimproved water
power on Root River, near the railroad
and further, parties had explored the
north branch to Chatfeld to ascertain tho
capacity of that stream. This is an i'm
mense scheme, as there is 800 feet fall anC
volume enough to run over 1000 run Of
stone. Sprague's power could be devel
oped to run forty run of stone, there ART
two equally as good powers on the rive,
in the town of Rusnford, and three OF
Rush Creek.
