contains the following interesting bit of
news: Hon. John Lind says: Il have
stumbled upon the fact that am serv-
in on the same committee, occupying
the same position and the same seat
assigned Abraham Lincoln during the
his first term in congress. Unfortu-
nately for me, hover, I was not born
in the same country, and hence can
never be president of the United States.
However, it is a novel discovery.
Mr.. Robt. NJ. Ross,9 agent for the
Jackson Wagon Company was here
during the last blockade the guest of
S. D. Peterson. Thursday morning he
decided that he could not wait until
the sleepy railroad managers would
open the road and so engaged Tom
Mulverhill to take him to St. Peter. Mr..
Ross is gentleman and made many
friends during his stay. That he is
ever mindful of the interests of his
company is attested to by his last words
to their local agent, Mr.. Peterson. u
hope, that you will sell 800 Jackson
wagons next season, and if the snow
don't leave you we will forward run

cut and Lehman was carved about the
head. In order to secure peace, Justice
