st. Peter Herald: A party of sur
veyors are at work upon the other side

the postoffices in the county, some
thirty. He is required to pay his own
expenses, which will amount to $50.

important case coming up from Vase
ca. The council, it seems, voted three
for and three against, upon a PROPOSE

sewers across private property, and
Judge Buckham sustains this injunc
tion, holding that municipality can
not do that.

Mankato audience, while Miss Rice
showed remarkable skill at the piano.

strom's farm picked several ears Of
corn, which are as finely developed as

is better than anywhere else. Two
weeks more of good weather will put
much of the corn out of danger of
frost.
