A DAKoTA1AN ON HIS TRAVELS.

LIVINGSTON. WIS.,, MARCH Is, 'S6.
Livingston is wide-awake business
center, located on the Monfort and Ga
lena branch of the G. & N. w. r. r.
She is noted for the enterprise of her
business men, well filed stores, tidy
streets, and last but not least, her
handsome, jolly young ladies. Nearly
all branches of trade are repreS ented
here and the town.ls supplied with ex-
cellent schools and churches. The land
surrounding town is high rolling prai
RE, well watered and wooded. The
farmers all seem well-to-do and some
are independently rich. Farther south
and west of Livingston the land is very
broken and heavily timbered. 1t Is
painful and yet amusing to see how
some young able bodied men will try
to make themselves farm from this
kind of land. They will chop and grub,
and putter around among the stumps
year after year and finally when they
get to be old men and broken down
they will have cleared off little farm
at an enormous cost, to say nothing Of
the original purchase price of So to Sl5
per acre. Why don't such people go
"west of Minnesota aud beyond the
Silvery Sioux, to the land they call Da-
kota where the skies are ever blue" and
get themselves good prairie farm for
almost nothing, and not grub their
lives away here among the rocks and
stumpS on farm which Is of but little
worth when they get it grubbed. Echo
answers, why? But this kind of land
forms but small part of Grant Co.,
the most of it is good prairie but is held
at prices away above the reach of a
poor man; so poor man must either
grub or go west.
Isee from the Herald that Parker
banks haye not made good their certlii-
Gates Of deposit. l am often asked the
question here, chow can reliable bank
er do that way and hold his job?' And
"do ali the banks in Dakota do that
| kind of business?" And other similar
| questions. Such transactions as these
are having their effect abroad on Turner
county's good name, and are working
no good to the future prospects OF Par
ker. I shall soon be compelled to say
good bye to this fair young city and Its
estimable people and wend my way
homeward with the hope Of visiting ii
again at some future time.
Yours Truly,

sot,e. of reaohers, Examination.

The first semi-anuual examination Of
teachers for 1886, OF Turner county,
Dakota, will be held in the public school
building at Hurley, April 9th. All
teachers or candidates who contem-
plate teaching the coming summer. and
whose certificates have expired, will
avail themselves of the day set apart
by law for their examination, thus
avoiding so many disagreeable requests

is more expensive to the applicant and
very annoying to myself. Candidates
will please supply themselves with pens,

One Bushel Secures tho Crop.

Safe insurance-no deduction for
planting or harvesting membership
fees-no policy fee-no deduction for
poor crops or low prices-no scaling
down for unpaid assessments prompt
adJustments-full pay for full loss
able home nagement-lnsurance at
cost is what the farmer wants. He can
get all this, and more too, by placing
his crop insurance with the Dakota

Yankton Telegram Goth: Mr.. H. II.
Deyo, contractor for the conveyance of
the mail between Yankton and Swan
Lake, when coming in last night, was
accosted by two men on horseback,
about three hundred yards beyond the
Milwaukee depot, about 7o'clock. One
of the men siezed the reins of the horses
while the other looked on at a distance.
The gentleman with mail remonstra-
ting and offering resistance, the fellow
finally fled. The man seemed to have
been drinking and may not have meant
any mischief, but the act of stopping
the U. S. mail on the public highway is
an outrage of serious character, and
if the guilty party can be arrested he
should be severely dealt with. Dark
was coming on and Mr.. Deyo does not
know whether he could recognize the
would be highway robber or not. If
not otherwise engaged the special po-
lice might look after such cases.

He has commenced hauling lumber for

Lots of sod will be turned around
Daneville IN April. The newly broke
land Will be sowed to flax. Does that
pay, is the question.
To those of our friends who have eX-

We hear considerable talk Of the

ing us this season. Well. we think they
can get square meal here now and
still leave enough to keep the wolf
from the settlers door.
While in Hurley recently, your hum

of some of the Herald's exchanges some
! dirty quack advertisements. Now,
wouldn't it be well for such payers to
drop their CLAIMS for being "a clean
family newspapers" And are not such
advertisements as the Police Gazette
far preferable to those OF the infamous
Doctor Quacks.
G. A. Melgaard and A. Petersen went
! to Riverside mill last week and were
detained there till dark. While at
tempting to cross the river they found
the water little too deep and had to
get down into it, unhitch their horses
and leave their wagon until morning.
They stayed over night with some
farmer living near by and in the morn
ing got their wagon out and got home
none the worse, only for some wet flour
and a bad cold caused by wearing wet
clothes.

Farmers, do not delay another year
before setting out fruit trees. The sue
cess of fruit growing in this section is
now assured. and no farm should be
without good supply of this fruit.
Buy trees that are acclimated and
hardy, and buy them of men who have
a reputation to sustain and will furnish
you with just what you order. The
Alderman Nursery Co., have spent a
great deal of time and money endeavor-
ing to ascertain the varities best suited
to this climate. and buying trees rec
omended by them will be one of the
best uses to which you can put your
money and the land nesessary for their
cultivation.

MISS SCIJITI TZ

Not long since some parties from the
southern part Of the county visited
Parker, and before leaving for home
secured a flask Of "ardent." Before
reaching Hurley the "llttle flask run
dry" and there being no saloon in Hur-
ley where they could get it replenished
they called at one of the drug stores.
In vain they plead with the proprietor,
and promised not to "give him away"
He finally told them that he would
make them some camphor. The crav-
ings for the intoxicant were so strong
that the camphor was ordered. After
weighing out the requisite amount of
"gum" to make it good and strong the
knight of the mortar went to the other
end of the store for the spirits, leaving
the "gum on the scale. The tempta-
ton was too great for the purchasers,
and the larger pieces of the "guln ;"
very quickly found their way from the
scales to place where they would not
injure the flavor of the liquid portion of
the spirits OF camphor. The bottle was
filed, the remaining "gum placed
therein, the druggist received his cash
and the purchasers left, happy--or were
soon after.

How the Goddess of Spring is Welcomed
in Different Countries-The Imaginary
Moon That Regulates the Coming of
Baskerville Feast of Eggs
Easter Sunday, or as it was formerly
called, the Sunday of Joy, like many other
ceremonies which have come down to us from
earlier times, has been changed from its or
iginal, and to some extent pagan, character
to religious observance, until now, more
especially limited to the Romish and Episco-
pal churches, it is the festival of the resur-
rection of Christ
In olden times there was feast of the Ten-
tonic goddess Ostera lin the Anglo-Saxon
Easter, whence naturally comes our Easter,
the goddess of spring, and the Anglo-Saxon
name for April was Easter month The pa
gan worship of Ostera was strongly rooted in
Northern Germany, and was brought into
England by the Saxons; and the early mis-
sionaries, finding it impossible to abolish it,
endeavored, as with some other ceremonies,
SO far as was possible, to change it to a
Christian festival, and to give to the rites a
religious significance. This was easily done
in this instance; for joy at the rising of the
syn, at the bursting of spring from the bonds
Of winter, the resurrection of the natural
world, could quite easily be changed to joy at
the rising of the sun of Righteousness, at the
resurrection of Christ, his triumph over
death and the grave Easter has often been
called the Christian Passover, because the
