the cheerful signs of better season.
Seeding commenced in this section
last Thursday, q Milford farmer on
the old Haussman farm having begun
operations.
Mr.. E. Kellermann is making pre-
parations for the erection of hand

Councillor W. Frank, who injured
himself internally, while falling over a
snow-coVered fence last week. is i'm
proving, and we hope that he may soon
be able to participate in the manage
ment of city affairs.
We are glad to perceive that the dis
cussion on the chinch bug plague, pub
lished in our last issue, meets with ap-
probation from our farmers. We shall
continue to keep our friends posted on
all topics of direct interest to them.
We clip the following item about our
former citizen from Winona paper.
Mr.. George Baumgartner has sold to
his brother, Mr.. Paul Baumgartner, his
new residence next to Mr.. A. Boyer
stadts, on East Wabasha street, for
$4,000. The deed runs to Mrs. Luella
Baumgartner.
In conversation with Hon. W. Skin
ner we learned that the chinch- bugs
have been in this section as early as
shortly after the Indian outbreak. The
gentlemans's opinion is that the dry
seasons of the last few years have in
that our climate on the whole is not
favorable to the development of them.
The Board of Education of this CITY
made a tour of inspection to St. Peter
last Monday, examining into the ar.
rangement and practicability of bet
ter system of heating and ventilation,
such as is used in the ST. Peter institu-
tons.
In this connection we allow ourselves
to speak a word in favor of the energy
exercised by the Board and the Super
intendent of the city schools, under
whose able management, seconded by
the corps of able instructors, our edu-
cational institu tons rank as high as
any in the state.
The accommodation train, which was
greeted by the travelling public as a
source of better and director communi.
cation with the,twin cities, was suspend
ed indefinitely last Monday, the Omaha
Road having concluded not to run an
places us back on the old seat, and our
travellers look forward again to dreary
stay of some hours at Kasota in the
event of visit to ST. Paul. Where,
oh where, is the new road ? It's advent
will meet with a reception on the part
of the New Ulmites as is unrecorded in
railroad history.
The melting OF the snow and ice,
which assured US that spring is here at
last, supplied our rivers with an undue
amount of water, and as consequence
caused the Minnesota to overflow its
banks for q considerable distance, and
to prevent access to the bridge, there
by hindering travel considerably. Foot
passengers were conveyed from the
city to Nicollet CO. by means of the
ferryman's boats, and motley crowd
of spectators were witnessing the travel
on the expanse of water, which sur
rounded the bridge-tender' cabin and
isolated the new iron bridge under con-
struction.
A gorge at the mouth of the Cotton
wopd did not give way till Sunday
moIning, consequently causing the
