A couple of horse jockeys are said te

| Some Democrat of New Ulm has
written the Mankato Review that know,
ing ones of Brown County state that

would show Mr.. Lind and the Republi.
can party that the farmers of this dis.
trict entirely repudiate his action while
in Congress. This is strange news in
deed. The Republicans here have all
along been confident that they could
carry Brown County for every man on

Speaking Of stories, says the St. Pc.
ter Tribune, we are reminded of one
told by Tom McCabe. who formerly
lived at Scotch Lake, in LIE Sueur coun.
ty, but is now a resident of St. Peter.
Tom was presented with few squash
seeds. said to be of superior variety.
Tom says he "planted one close to a
stump, and he never saw anything
grow like it the vine reached to and
crossed the lake and was of immense
proportions About that time he lost
SOW and litter of pigs, and the thought
struck him that they might have
crossed to the other shore on the vine.
81 crossed on the vine, and To- and
behold! When reached the end, there
lay the sow sucking her pigs by the
side Of a squash that it took two men
to lift into my wagon. When | reached
home | weighed the squash and it
tipped the beam at 200 pounds. .
Gentlemen, said he. this is no fish
