Rev. A. X. Fox will speak on the

| After the religious services at the
Presbyterian church last Sabbath
evening, Rev. d. W. Evans presented
the names of five of oar citizens for
election of trustees OF said church.

Cole, b. A. Weaver, r. P. Edison and
the pastor ex-officio. Reinforced thus
the trustees now propose to spare no
effort to complete their house of wor-
ship the coming summer. This society,
intrenched as it is, in the affections
of large number of our leading citi-
zenS, deserves the success it has hith-
ertO attained. Its pastor has not only
been the dispenser of the bread of life,
but has also been the almoner of the
large temporal charities of his many
eastern friends. Boxes of clothing
valued at $500 have been distributed
among the sufferers of last winter.
Long may he continue with US TO
bless the poor and point out the way
to higher life. Il. P. Edison.

We have received copy of the
Dodge County Republican, a new
paper just started at Kasson, in this
state by Messrs. Shaver & Poag. 1t

The demand for town lots in Sank
Centre is SO pressing that the elements
moved by the appeal, have undertak
Ell TO do their share towards keeping
up the supply. The first contribution
from this source arrived within the
last three or four days in the form of
two large floating islands landed safe
~ on our shores, one at the dam and
the OLher near the old brick yard.
Either one would make decent sized
town lot, and give evidence of the
best quality of soil 10y most luxuriant
growth of vegetable productions of
various kinds. The question is yet to
be settled who do they belong to-
the proprietor of the soil over which
they are now moved or the proprietor
of the land from which they have I'M
TREMENDOUSLY taken leave.
