Every drop of rain that has fallen
this year has been used to the best
advantage, and it is surprise to every
one that our crops are so fine, consid-
ering the amount of rainfall and the
dryness of the ground. Lakes and
marshes that We're never dry before,
at least for many years, are perfectly
dry now, and in some, bitches have
been cut to considerable depth and
across their deepest parts, without
finding much if any water. The ca
pacity of our rich soil to Withstand
years of insufficient rains, equivalent
to a severe and protracted drought, is
one of It's greatest advantages and
something that few sections are so
fortunately possessed of.-Montevideo
Leader.

Memoirs in this vicinity, The terri
tory includes the counties of Stevens
Pope, Grant, Wilkin, Traverse and
Big Stone. This book is one which
should be in every household, as it has
been written, REVISED and corrected
entirely by the dead hero, the last
paragraph having been written just
twenty days prior to his death, and
is therefore the most complete and
accurate history of the late unpleasant
ness. ever yet penned as it comes from
the principal actor in those string
scenes. The price of the work, consid-
ering its renowned authorship and the
deep INTEREST which has been excited
| in it's publication, is exceedingly low
and within the reach of all. The first
| delivery of the work will be made De-,
cember LIST, at time when farmers
especially have an opportunity for
reading. The work of canvassing
will be commenced at once, but no
money will be required of the subscrb-
ers until the work is delivered.
That colossal machine, called
brick press, came over the l.. f. & d.
road the other day, without breaking
down the bridges or Gays, so far as we
have heard. But the big job was yet
to be accomplished, viz:-getting it
from the depot to the brick yard.
Will Hiland had grit enough 10 tackle
it, but he never could have got it there
but for the aid of the stentorian lungs
of Hank Cousins to brighten the ma
chine and encourage the horses, which
he did to good purpose. Even then it
grew so heavy Oh the way, that what
two teams started, required four be-
fore the feat was accomplished. How
ever it was safely landed on the foun-
datjon prepared for it late in the
evening of Monday last. We cannot
give the accurate weight Of this pom
derous thing-the agent says itweighs
5000 pounds, draymen say 10000, and
the railroad company billed 1t at TO-
600 pounds: Mr.. IVhiteley, the gem
eraT manager, did not care, he said,
to haveit weighed here as it was
quite little job to handle it, bpt he
thinks there Is q fortune in it it it is
ever sold for old iron, In few days
it will be at work making q, 900 brick
per day, and of coure all Norris will
be out to see the operation. The clay
i'll these yards being of the very best
quality, we expect to see this.the great:
