/ Rev. Mr.. Cole lectures at the Baptist

On THE INSIDE of this paper will be
found an article entitled the "Abuse of
Trust Funds" clipped from The North
Western Christian Advocate which desc
careful reading nd pondering.
WOULD BE BARBER in our city, or would
be something worse, undertook the color
ing Of young gentleman's mou stache
with lunar caustic; he did not stop with
the upper lip, however, but burn ed it all
over the lips and chin. If to get color
was the object, the success was complete,
but the coloring took rather too deep a
hold to please the victim of misplaced con-
fidence. The novice in the tonsorial act
was arrested, and there was found upon
his person chloroform and other suspicious
drugs. He was given free lodgings in the
Hotel DeKay, and in the morning was mott
fed that the City could not endure his
presence more than two hours, and he de-
parted.


Help a worthy cause by going to the
Baptist Church Friday evening.


The ELECTION yesterday passed off very
quietly and with perfect good feeling
The vote in the City was about six hum
dred and ninety-fve. There was great in
dependence shown in the choice of candi-
dates. Tickets were printed in almost
every conceivable shape, yet voters used
their pencils very freely. This perfect in
dependence in voting is to US q healthy in
dication in politics. When it is understood
that voters will only vote for those that
they consider good men, parties will be
more particular about the candidates that
they put in nomination.


Go to the Baptist Church and learn
what you can about " Gossiping.''
The EDITOR had the pleasure of VISITING
the Trenton Grange on Saturday night,
and found the Overseer, brother Cowen, in
charge. Brother Nero is the Master.
The Grange numbers between fifty and
sixty, and is constantly increasing in num-
bers. On Saturday night the first degree
was conferred upon three, and the other
three degrees upon several others.


A COUPLE Of farmers, not far from Red
Wing, had little unpleasantness not
many days since. A spade was broken
either over horse or someone's head, as
to which the evidence is conflicting. Then
the spade handle was used around promis-
cuously: 1t was kind Of free fight in
which two neigabors and son of one of
the neighbors took q hand-one of those
little affairs that are disgrace on mankind
and lead one to feel sometimes that men
have still lower origin than that assigned
by Darwin OF course the parties have
gone to law.


Work FOR THE PArRoNs.-We lately Wis.,
tied the Wisconsin side of the river, where
the farmers deal largely in timber. On
the Minnesota side the farmers complain
with bitterness of the high price they have
to pay for all the heavier articles of aeri-
cultural machinery; on the Wisconsin side
they complain with equal bitterness, and
with good reason, of the low price they get
for their timber. Now why cannot the
owners of timber and the buyers of ma
chinery unite in building q mandatory of
machinery, which on the one hand. will
make market for timber, and on the 9th
er, reduce the price of machinery.
