trying 10 find out what causes The dropping
off IL the circulation Of that paper in Bald
win. We can tell hm-the st. Paul GLOBE
10 a better paper, and the people appreciate

ways.

We took occasion TO congratulate the
Baale'in upon its improved appearance last
week, and We want 10 still further commend
It this week because Of an editorial in its last
Issue. Well done, Bro. Peachman! Let the
people OF ST. CrOix county know the fallacy
OF the arguments put forth by Republican
stump speakers; let them know that you do
not endorse such actions and your subscrip-
ton list will be materially increased
The holiday trade in Baldwin this year ex-
ceeded any thing ever experienced by our
merchants. Evidently the people do not an
ticipatc that the country is going 10 the dem
uiton-bow-wows even if We are 10 have a
Democratic administration, else they would
not have been so lavish Of their money, but
would have kept il 10 provide against what
the hard times croIkers tell rs we may expect
simply because the Democrats are TO rule.
There is an existing rivalry between the
residents OF the village Of Hammond and
those Of Baldwin, that crops out on every
occasion aud at any provocation without
either rhyme or reason. II is not confined TO
either place, but is as strong Ia one place as
the other In county matters should the
people Of Hammond desire any particular
measure put through the people Of Baldwin
seem bound 10 oppose IL, aud vice versa.
Now, this is not as It should be. There
should be feeling Of annuity between the
people OF the two places, and your scribe
would feel that lite was not In vain II By any
word or words hc could eradicate that feeling
of rivalry and supplaut it by one Of mutual
forhcarance and Just pride in each others
Advancement 4 step, "A look. a union of
hands, and "presto!' the thing IS done. Try
It, good people.
The old year passed In It's chips very
quietly in Baldwin, aud the new introduced
itself In II very frlgld manner. With the
Thermometer at - degrees below zero, the
most Of Us felt like dispensing with our New
Years calls and finding berth near roar
Ing fire. Places of business were generally
closed, and there was no stir whatever. Ser
vices were held in the Dutch church, but the
severity Of the weather prevented the usual
large attendance At the rink there was
large crowd Of countrymcu who were having
picnic N rollers" aud their enjoyment
was so hearty that 10 was contagious in its
effect In tie evening considerable excite
mcut was gotten mp by a potato race, So
called, for prize. Il was engaged in by
several young men and hoty contested to
the finish to the immense amusement OF the
audience.
