BILE dealing and close attention to bust

Back east snow is called the "poor
mans manure" While the soil out
here is about US rich as it well can be,
we have plenty of "poor men," and if
the snow will enrichen them, then
blessed be the snow if it isn't SO pleas
ant to wade around in. There is
enough of it this winter to put us all
in q pretty good fix.
Notwithstanding the steady and
rather excessively cold weather. 1t has
been rather pleasant winter i'm many
respects. We have had nc long or very
severe storms, and all unite in SAYING
that stock is deing exceedingly well
where they have half chance, and a
greater portion have nothing but prai-
RE hay. much Of which WAS cut out of
season. The condition of our stock
speaks volumes for the richness of our
grasses and stamps this the boss agri-
culture and "cow country"
Several of our exchanges are talk
ing s'coal' from one weeks end to an
other. We hope to see some OF it
show up before long, for we are getting
tired of paying from IS to $3.50 per
ton for it, There is no doubt about
there being plenty of it on the other
side of the river, but that is on the
blessed Indian Reservation, you know,
and our Nations pets must not be
despolled. We are IN hopes OF its be.
ing found on this side of the river ere
long.
The election of Cassius nj. Reed,
Esq, Chairman of the Sully Co. Rep.
Ex. Com, to the Chief Clerkship of
the Lower House of our Legislature by
an almost unanimous vote, is an honor
worthily bestowed, both to the gentle
man and the county. Mr.. Reed pos
sesses the qualifications for the position
in an eminent degree, having practiced
quite extensively at the bar in both IL
hnois and Missouri, and filled positions
in record keeping which has given him
a valuable experience-while Sully is
one of the banner Republican counties
which eatltle it TO consideration by our
Legislators.
The hearing OF the writ ef manda-
mus against the Commissioners Of Sui
ly County, which was to have come off
Monday, has been postponed to the 9th
inst. We have not been informed why
so many postponements are necessary,
but it is generally oplned that there lis
something rotten in Denmark" We
will see, and also withhold further com
ments until the case comes off or an
other postponement is made.-Onida
Journal.
We, too, are inclined to think "there
is something rotten in Denmark" or
Onida's side of this contest. The post
ponement to which the Journal alludes
was granted on motion of Onida's at
torneys, as they had not had sufficient
time in which To manufacture II case.
1t IS supposed to come off to-day.
LATEsT.-We learn that the case has
been adjourned until next Thursday,
