Ought Not so TO BE.

We are greatly annoyed at times by the
return of packages of the MONITOR, which
have been placed in the mails. and have
been torn open and the wrappers destroy
ed in transportation. Gun mail is securely
wrapped and the parcels tied with string,
and nothing but the grossest carelessness
on the part of some one can account for
the trouble. Our mail for Harrisonyille,
and Camden was thus treated this week
and the papers kept from our subscrib-
ers long over the proper time.

Woodstown r~ejoices in being the birth

couple of brothers -twins-wh0 have
grown up to their twenties resem-
bling each other as much as two peas in a
pod. OF late years one of them has been
in the employ Of Joseph Armstrong. a
liveryman of Camden, who is the owner of
some horses occasionally entered in the
local races. The other brother remains in
Woodstown and is one of our local celeb
rites. Last Fourth of July Mr.. Arm
strong attended the races at Woodbury.
Park and the Woodstown twin also
wended his way thither. During the day
he was accosted by a man Hello John;

once that he had been mistaken for his
brother Of Camden and ''tumbled forth

NJ. w. Adley received telegram
last Thursday announcing the sudden
death of his brother r. +. Adley, of
Maine township, Otter Tail Co. MINI.
The Fergus Falls Journal gives the
following particulars concerning the
sad event: "Afr Adley was coming
in with load of grain. At q bridge
OH the main road about five miles
north east of the city the wagon wheel
entered u rut and overturned the
wagon. Mr.. Adley fell on frozen
ground, and the load of grain fell on
top of him. He was unconscious when
rescued, and before help could be
summoned had ceased to breathe. The
wagon with its sad burden was at
once turned homeward.
Warren Adley, of Osakis, another
brother died suddenly on the 18th Of
last September. He went out to look
after his stock and not returning was
found dead near his team. In the
two deaths there is something of a
coincidence.

AS the winter season approaches,
the opportunities for study should be
improved by all classes: 1t is the
period of rest for farmers and the
long evenings should be used for
posting up IN the various branches of
agriculture and preparing for farmers
institutes, which should be held in
every town and county. AS the st.
Paul Globe has ably said: "The
shoddy prejudice which once existed
against agrieGlt is rapidly fading
before true realization of the dignity
of the occupation of farming, and it
is duty the farmers of Minnesota
owe to themselves and to their oc-
cupation to gather arguments in their
own interests by some such wise ac-
ton as the Wisconsin farmers have
done, as we have outlined above.
Every other profession does it.
Doctors, lawyers, merchants, preach
ers, school TEACHERS, railroad mana
gers and employees, mechanics, and
men of all other pursuits have found
it to be Of the gtmost benefit to meet
at times in dignilied assemblages for
comparison of views and study of
others methsds. There is no earthly
reason why farmers should not meet
in the same dignified way and secure
the same benefits which accrue from
these assemblages. 1t an Old truth
that men advance just in proportion
as they mingle their thoughts with
their labor. This truth ought to APP
ply with greater force to agriculture
than any other occupation. Because
nature made agriculture is no reason
why it should be perpetually con-
fined to the limited scope of it's primi-
tive days. 1t should not be distanced
in the race of modern progress, but be-
cause it is, as we have already said,
the basis of Ill prosperity, agriculture
should lead In the way of improve
ment insead of tagging in the rear of
J all it's fellows"

HE Ancient and The Modern Ark,

The following figures concerning
the Great Eastern and the Ark are of
interest Somebody is comparing the
size and cost Of the Great Eastern and
Noah's Ark. The cost of building and
launching the Great Eastern was
S., $780, 00 and this broke the original
company. A new company was
formed, which spent 5000, 900 in fitting
and furnishing her. Then this COM
pany failed, and new company was
organized, with capital of 100000
AT the close of 1880 this company sank
fS6,7l5 upon the vessel, thus making
her total cost $4,703,575. Nothing
ever built can stand comparison with
the Great Eastern. excepting Noah's
Ark, and even this vessel could not
match her. The length of the Ark
was 80 cubits. The cubit of:he Scrip
lures, according to Bishop Wilkins,
was Il 65 in., and computed into
English measurement, the Ark was
547 #. long, 81 #. beam, 81 7 #. depth,
aud q 1852 tons. The Great Eastern
is $50 it. long, SO #. beam, So #. depth,
and 28,O03 tons measurement. So
Noah's Ark is quite oversliadowed by
the Great MISUNDERSTANDING Ameri-
can.
