Dunlap's immigration Bulletin TO
November gives the following:

Dunlap's immigration Bulletin for
November gives the following:
The average yield per acre of corn in
Dakota, for the year 1886, is estimated
by the department Of agriculture at 28.5
bushels, and the average quality IS
points. This is good showing for the
older counties in the southeastern
section, where the yellow dent corn is
cultivated with about the same success
as Illinois. 1t will be interesting to note
how the Dakota averages compare with
the following: Illinois, PAT bushels per
arore. and quality 92 points; Wisconsin,
25.8 bushels and So points; Iowa, 24.5
bushels AID 81 points; Minnesota,
80 bushels and SO points; Nebraska,
q IS bushels and SO points; Kansas, 2l.3
bushels, and 50 points. The yield in
Dakota is higher than all the other
states named except Minnesota, and
the average quality less than any of the
others with the exception of Kansas,
which is something OF surprise, and an
unusual score TO the credit of the Da-
kotn section of the corn belt.
In making up the average for Dakota
the yield in the entire territory is taken
into consideration. The corn belt oi
our territory lies yet in the extreme
southern portion, where corn is the
leading product and the great staple
Taken by themselves these counties
would show much better average.

AS expressed by Governor Pierce in
his addresses to the militia here in
September, nothing at all was done or
attempted that wGs not up 30 the letter
of the law as formulated and set up by
the Dakota legislature, and 1T is not
clear 70 men who are inclined to be fair
just now how any unlawful indebt-
edness'' was Incurred.
Thus remarks the Aberdeen News,
having previously commented upon the
position of the Press and Dakotaian
relative to the indebtedness incurred for
the Aberdeen militia enoampment. We
have given at length the basis OF our
claim that the governor had no author
lty to exceed the specified appropriations
for militia purposes and we are willing
to submit the proposition to any COM
mittee of unbiased lawyers. We are
making an endeavor to save twenty
thousand dollars to the struggling tax
payers of Dakota. They cannot afford
to pay for this piece of extravaganza
and as the debt was illegally incurred
they should not be compelled to meet it

 A meeting of a few business men of ou1 city was held in the parlor of the Center church chapel last night to consider the ad disability of starting 8 canvass for build- ing fund for the Young Mems Christian as sociation. Gen. E. S. Greeley was chairman of the meeting and called on Mr. S. E. Bald win to state the reasons for calling the meet ing. MT. Baldwin stated that the association must leave its present quarters on May 1st, and the question now before the board was where they should go. They had carefully considered the matter and felt that the asso- citation should have a home of it's own. The Third church could be secured for reasonable price and after consulting with an architect he knew that it could be adapted to the needs of the association with but little expense. Other gentlemen present spoke briefly concerning the matter, and MT. E. W. Watkins, of New York, then stated the reasons for a building and the benefits that it would have on the young men of New Haven.
 The interest in the meeting was apparent, as several gentlemen were prepared to give liberal subscriptions. The meeting ad- journed at 10 o'clock.
 On motion of MT. E. H. Barnes it was voted to meet again on Wednesday night, January 13, at the parlors of the New Haven House.

 The annual installation of officers of Hiram lodge No. 1, A F. and A. M., always at tracts large number of the fraternity, not only of this, but of sister lodges. The asso- citations which cluster around this lodge, the oldest in this jurisdiction, always make it a at least once year, as children gather around the old family hearthstone on each recurring Thanksgiving to hold sweet com munion with the living and rehearse the good deeds of those who have passed to the beyond. Over century has passed since this lodge came into existence, and during this time it has embraced within it's shelter ing arms governors, judges, lawyers, doc tors, clergymen, and in fact all the professions, and the humble toiler for his daily bread as we'll And it numbers in it's membership all of these classes to-day.
 One specially noticeable feature in the officers last evening was their youthful ap- pearance. While they are young men, yet their countenances bore the imprint of intel ligence, and that they are jealous in the in- terests of their lodge is evidenced by their promotion to the high positions to which they have been elevated by the votes of. their brethren.
 The lodge room was crowded last evening, the old and young, rich and poor, meeting on one common level. The installing officer Past Grand Master W. w. Lee of Meri- den, assisted by Past Grand Master Julius Twiss, acting grand marshal. The interest ing installation services were conducted in a very intelligent and interesting manner, a and {0 he members of the lodge and the visiting breth- eran. Following were the officers installed w. M., A. L.. Barnes; s. w., F. E. Stoddard; J. w., William M. Frisbie treasurer, George E. Frisbie; secre- tary, W. A. Beers; S. D., R. J. Woodruff; Smith; J. S., W. L. Peck; tyler, David R. Allen; chaplain, Rev. Bro. T. s. Samson marshal, A. L. Preuss.
 On the conclusion of the installation in teresting addresses were made by P. G. N. E. s. Quintard, P. G. M. W. w. Lee, P. G. N. N Fred H; Waldron, G. M. W. W. Price, G.J. D; Clark Buckingham, Rev. Bro. and A. w. Phelps. The addresses were interspersed with songs by the Masonic "B' quartette, whose singing gave great satisfaction to the brotherhood. On the conclusion of the speeches the lodge was closed in due and ancient form, ana on luVlIdClOn or WOrSl1pIul Master Barnes all present were invited to the banquet hall where sumptuous repast had been provided. The tables looked splendid in their tasteful adornment of fruits and flowers, and there were substantials provid- ed sufficient to ''feed regiment" Over the center table suspended from the chandelier was square and compass beautifully wrought of evergreens and flowers. It was designed by Secretary w. A. Beers and made and presented to the body by Brother Frank s. Platt, the State street florist and seedsman. The banquet was very much enjoyed, and happily concluded Cid Hiram's annual gathering.
