THE POMONA GRANGE meets at Tem perance Hall at 10 o'clock, a. m., tomor row (Thursday.) THOSE who attended the examinations of the public schools of this city, express themselves as highly pleased. THE Teachers' Institute is holding its sessions here this week, with a fair at tendance, notwithstanding the disagree able weather. FARMERS should carefully avoid get ting any of the wet and sprouted wheat of last fall in their seed wheat. So says a friend who thinks this caution neces sary. ONE of our mechanics claims that he would not be without Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs and Colds, even if it cost five dollars a bottle. It must be good. HAMBURG EDGING.—Bosrud Bros, have received a job lot of Hamburg Edg ing, which they will offer at greatly re duced prices. Ladies should give them a call before purchasing. 23w2 DR. HUMPHREY, specialist for the cure of chronic diseases and deformities, will be at the Sr. James hotel, in this city, March the 22d (two days,) where the afflicted may consult him free of charge. MR.

His friends in the western part of this county and in Rice, Dodge, and Olmsted will soon have the pleasure of shaking his hand. IT VANISHES AM AY.—Do all our readers understand that D. B. DeLand & Co.'s Best Chemical Saleratus, made by II. A. DeLnnd & Co., is never eaten. In the process of baking it all evapo rates, leaving the bread light and pure. It has been imitated, but the counterfeit is not easily disposed of. Use it instead of Soda or Baking Pi der. It weighs sixteen ounces to /?he paper. Now is the time for house cleaning, and now is the time for papering the walls anew, whitewashing or kalsotnin ing them, and for repainting the wood work of your houses. If you want this kind of work done and well done, at lowest prices, go to P. A. Poole's drug Htore and leave orders for Mr. John M. Ingraham, to do it. He is the best workman in the city and his charges are always moderate. PUBLIC SALE.—On Tuesday, March 21stf, at 10 o'clock, a. m., Mr. O. Thomas, of the town of Vasa, in Good hue county, will sell at his farm in said town, at auction five working horses, one stallion, two colts, a number of head of cattle, several wagons, sleighs, a lot of agricultural machinery and implements, all his household furniture, etc. To those wanting articles of this description this will be a good opportunity to pur chase cheap. THE ADVANCE has not opposed the Midland Railroad subsidy bunds, ex cept on the general principle of opposi tion to such bonds, for the simple rea son that there was no use of doing so. To urge that a railroad is not beneficial to the country through which passes is nonsense. Even a badly managed road is better than none. We do not, how ever, believe that any law can be just and right which provides that a com munity may compel another portion to pay unwilling tribute in aid of a private enterprise. This is wrong, even though the road shall be a* advantageous as it projectors claim. IF you want to consult Dr. Humph rey he will be at the St. James hotel on the 22d and 23d. FOR SALE OT rent, my present resi dence on Pine Street near Fourth. B. B. HERBERT. ON THE 28th instant, there will be a German theatrical exhibition at Opera hall, to be followed by a aance and sup per. An enjoyable time is anticipated. THE Fire Department will have a so ciable on Friday evening next." There wi'l be a display of tableaux on the stage, after which there will be dancing in.the hall, and a supper in Mr. Diffen back's dining saloon. There will be no pains spared to make it an occasion of enjoyment. FOR SALE.—A Farm of 247 acres 150 under cultivation, four miles from Red Wing, time given to suit purchaser. A small farm will be taken in part payment. Ill health of the present proprietor is the reason for wishing to sell. Inquire of B. B. Herbert for furth er particulars. THIS community was shocked this morning by the intelligence of the death of Mr. Herman Betcher. Mr. Betcher was taken sick on Friday afternoon last with brain fever, and notwithstanding that he had the best medical treatment, death speedily ensued. He was one of our most active business men and his loss will be severely felt in this commu nity. HARRY ADAMS, traveling agent of •the firm of Day, Egbert & Fidlar, of Davenport, Iowa, called upon us a few days ago. Mr. Adams represents a house that does the best bookbinding of any firm in the country. We have had a number of books bound there and, in every instance, the work has been well done and at low prices. They, also, fur nish choice stationary at lower prices than such articles can be bought gener ally, and they fill all orders promptly and correctly. Ox last Saturday evening we enjoyed a very pleasant time with Wacouta grange of Patrons of Husbandly. There was a fair attendance of the members, notwithstanding the extreme coldness of the weather, and, at the close of the meeting, a banquet was indulged in which, for excellence and profusion of good things, was all that the most sump tuous could wish. It was prepared by the lady members of the grange, and, while partaking of it we could not avoid thinking that the granges are exerting an influence to improve the art of cook ery among the members. It stimulates the lady members to rivalry in this art, and, if we may take this feast as an ex ample of the excellency already attained for tint, reason it will be safe to conclude that the time is not distant when "gran gers" will be remarkable for their skill in this line. One thing is certain, we don't wunfc-to miss any similar occasion in Wajtouta grange. HISTORY OF ST. PAUL.—The Min nesota Historical Society has just pub. liahed a work bearing the above title, written by its Secretary, J. Fletcher Williams, Esq. It is a valuable work, prepared with great care, printed on ex cellent paper and in artistic style and handsomely bound. We have not yet had leisure to give it an attentive peru sal, but in looking over its pages hastily find it to be highly meritorious and deeply interesting and, so far as our own knowledge extends, unusually accurate. In his preface, the author states that he has used exertions to collect the ma terial from every available source, hav ing been thus employed during the past ten years, and that much of what he has written is compiled from statements of the early settlers who were still liv ing and to whom he applied for informa tion. Being an old resident of the State himself he was personally ac quainted with many ol the old pioneers, and we know that he was held in high esteem by them generally, and that they would willingly respond to his requests. Notwithstanding his assiduous labor, extensive researches, and intimate ac quaintance with the actors in many of the scenes he describes, he has, however, as was to have been expected, fallen into a few errors, and has omitted mention of persons and events the mem ories of which are fully as worthy of preservation as some of those which have gained his attention. We regret this for several reasons, but chiefly be cause it renders incomplete a very valu able work, but it seems to be an unavoid able fault of history, and it isone which is far less chargeable to this book than to works of this kind generally. On the whole, we feel safe in pronouncing this to be one of the most correct and ^aKUMig»K«CT«»«n«,»w,,.J»„mi,n||[| |M r[ satisfactory works of contemporaneous history that we ever read. Its faults are those which are unavoidable, and they are exceedingly few at that. TRENTON, March 13th, 187G. Spring, where art thou? The late cold spell Has frozen every thing, and sleighing is again carried on actively, and the ice on the river is considerably safer. E. A. Dopkins has sold out his interest in the store, and has gone north to try his skill in farming. John Reeves and Eugene Way have bought in the store with W. L. Colyer, and they now arc purchasing new goods. Our wood merchants have got quite a wood yard in the village. They buy on ly hard maple and oak. Eugene Batchler thinks fortune smiles on him. It's a girl probably she wilj get a bachelor some day. Henry Stone has moved into St. Croix Co., where*he will reside this summer. ,His many friends miss him at his accus tomed place. A. E. Cowell and lady made us a pleasant visit lately. Miss Nellie Morrison of Red Wing, is visiting friends here, Married at the bride's father's, on the 4thinst., Mr. L. Neidmnre to Miss Lu cia Way, by E. A. Dopkins, Esq., all of this place. Another flower is gone. We wish them happiness and prosperity. Mrs. Birdie Hart, while standing at the head of a pair of stairs holding her mother's infant became startled and fell down them, and strange to say, neither were hurt. The donation at the Porter school house was well attended, and all were well pleased with Mr. Orser's lecture and the singers that accompanied him. Our schools have been looking for the superintendent, but we fear he has neg lected us. Politics are quiet. Shall we have a caucus before the election? or shall we let the office seekers pick their positions and we vote for them? I think there is where all the power lays, in selecting the men, not in voting for them. Let us be prompt and choose our best men. Dr. King's New Discovery. This wonderful remedy contains some very rare ingredients (heretofore un known to the medical profession) which have proved to be a certain specific for dry hacking Coughs, tickling in the Throat, Hoarsness, severe and stubborn Coughs, difficulty of breathing, wasting of flesh, Phthisic, Asthma, and all dis eases of the throat, chest and lungs. Dr. King's New Discovery will positive ly cure where every thing else fails. Go to your druggist F. A. Poole, Red Wing, get a bottle of this never failing remedy, and your speedy cure is certain. Trial bottles FREE. The Markets. The intelligence from Europe is very unsatisfactory as to the future prices of heat, altho' the reasons foran advance an^gconger now than they were a month ago, the indications being favorable for the belief that the coming crop in Europe will be less than average. In this city the quotations are un changed. No. 1 is at $1.00 and No. 2 at 95 c, with light receipts. Corn is dull at 45@60c. Flour $3.00 per 100 lbs. Dressed pork $7.00, with light re ceipts.

Y., Dec. 28, '76 DR. S. D. HOWE—Dear Sir You advertise that any person buying and taking your "Milk Cure" and "Tonic" will be cured of "Asthma," etc. I have done so, and my asthma, of over twenty years 'existence, is gone. I induced a friend, residing six miles distant, to try it he did so, and his asthma, too, is gone. I commenced iking it on the 2lst of "November last, and my friend on the 6th or 7th of December instant both very bad, obstinate cases. I can give full particulars of the cases if de sired. Allow me to refer you to Gerity and Morrell, druggists here, as to the facts which I have in this communication only hinted at, and to them or any other person or persons here as to my personal standing and reputation. Believe me, truly, JEROME B. WHITE. The above named gentleman is one of the most respected lawyers in the city of Elmira. Dr. Howe has thousands of letters of a similar purport. Sold by F. A. Poole.

Editor Grange Advance, SIR:—In your last paper you had a letter about Aristocrats, which some of us out this way don't understand. Some think the letter was written, as it seems to be, by some fool who has more mon ey than brains, and is an insult to the great mass of honest toilers who by hon est labor have produced the wealth of our county, and they don't like it. Others think the letter must have grown out of some local affair, which we do npt fully understand, and be a take off on the class of shoddy up-starts, who got their pelf by stealth, and to have been written by some person who hasenthusiasm been insulted by the snobbery of some such fool. Now we like your paper, and believe you true to the people: but if that letter was in earnest we consider it an insult, and, like the aristocrats, we want an explanation. Yours for honest worth, LAEORER. Our correspondent's first supposition is obviously wrong, as a second reading of the letter will be likely to convince him. The writer of it is not only not an aristocrat, but he abominates snob bery and despises a snob. The second supposition is the proper one. A re buke to snobbery was intended, and, in our judgment this was accomplished in an effective manner. Personal allusions were avoided, however, for the writer had na desire to wound the feelings of any, even of such as might be inclined to snobbery, and he took care to steer clear of anything offensive. The author does not wish to be known, but authorizes us to say that, like Mr. Bowen in the Beecher matter, he is wil ling to go before a select committee and give names and dates under pledge of strict secresv. Pierce County items. The Teachers' Association met at Ells worth, Mar. 4th, and was largely atten ded. Oak Grove claims a family who re quire 224 yards of calice to make dress es around. This would indicate that there are sixteen female members. Geo. Hanes, of Beldenville, is suffer ing from an injury to his foot. He cut it badly, and it was afterwards attacked with erysipelas. Mr. Carver, engineer at Prescott, was badly scalded two weeks ago, by hot water from the boilers. A young man of Prescott, -who made an indecent assault upon a little girl, was soundly flogged by the father of the child. Poisoning do_ is the occupation in dulged in by some of the Prescott peo ple. Teachers' examination in Pierce coun ty takes place April as follows: At El Paso, for that town and Gilman, on the 3d: at Rock Elm Centre, for that and Spring Lake, on the 4th at Maid en Rock, for Maiden Rock, Salem and Union, on the 5th and Cth at Esdaile, for Hartland, Isabelle, Trenton and Diamond Bluff, on the 7th at Ellsworth, for that and Trimbelle, on the 8th at River Falls, for that and Martel, on the 10th and 11th and at Prescott, for Prescott and Clifton, on the 12th andPositive.and 13th. The exercises will begin at 9 am. Mr. S. F. Chcsebro, of Clifton, aged 52, was thrown from a load of wood while his horses were running away, and falling under his sled, his head was bad ly crushed. He died on the following day—the 5th inst. Rabbits are said to be injuring the apple trees in Ellsworth, and Mr. T. Bateman's nursery has suffered severely. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Randall, of Riv er Falls, celebrated their golden wedding on the evening of the 8th inst. Camilla Urso's Concert. This celebrated violiniste announces a concert to take place at Turner Opera Hall, in this city, on Monday next, the 20th instant. Madam Urso has a choice selection of artists for assistants: Mile. Eugenie Deroode, Soprano Miss Cla ra Poole, Contralto Mr. J. C. Bartlett, Tenor Mr. Gaston Gottschalk, Bari tone and Mr. August Sauret, Pianist. These are allfinishedmusicians of high professional standing in the musical cir cles of Boston and New York, and have all achieved success and elicited the heartiest applause during their appear ance as a concert company. The fol lowing notice of this troupe is from the Elmira Advertiser: During one of Madame Camilla Urso's recent visits the West, she played in a small Ohio town After the performance, a raw boned old farmer, his face burning with delight, approached her. Reverently, as if almo*t fearing to address her, he stood for one moment with his head un covered, and then said, "Madame, I ain't no critic, but I must tay that was the most silkiest fiddling I ever did hear." The old fellow was not far wrong. "Silky" is a word which does some slight justice to Madame Urso's wonderful performances upon the violin. To do that peformance full justice would be impossible, our language is to poor. This is high praise, but it is well merited. The lady in question is in truth an extraordinary artiste. Her every tone is a gem which comes direct ly from her heart her very soul is in the harmony which she produces, and she never fails to infuse some share of into even the unlettered among her audience. From the mo ment she comes on the stage until she leaves it, she seems almost oblivious to all her surroundings. She lives appar ently only for that little brown instru ment from which she calls forth such wonderful melody, and it seems at times I as if her auditors lived only to listen to the sweet sounds thus invoked. The artists who assisted Madame Urso were truly excellent. M. Agustc Sauret, the pianist, is an old and de servedly a great favorite throughout the Union. He needs no praise. The same can be said of the soprano who has most charming manners and brill iancy. In Miss Clara Poole we were glad to welcome a new-comer of decided ability. She has a contralto voice of rare depth and power, and sings with great accuracy. She has something still to learn, but she possesses all those qualities which go to make a great ar tist, and though exceedingly young, she is rapidly winning for herself a most enviable reputation. We wish her every success. The performance of Mr. J. C. Bartlett, the tenor, was all that could be desired. Mr. Gaston Gottschalk, the studied and always pleasing baritone, was, as ubual, faultless. Altogther, the concert was a great success. We shall always gladly welcome the return of the Urso Company. Remember This. Now is the time of the year for Pneumona, Lung Fever, Coughs, Colds, and fatal results of predisposition to Consumption and other throat and Lung Disease. BOSCHEE'S GERMAN SYRUP has been used in this neighborhood for the past two or three years without a single failure to cure. If you have not used thih medicine yourself, go to your Druggists, Jaehnig & Teele, and ask them of its wonderful success among his customei s. Two doses will relieve the worst case. If you have no faith in any medicine, just buy a Sample Bottle of Boschee's German Syrup for 10 cents and try it, Regular size Bottle 75 cents. Dont neglect a covigh to save 75 cents. 17eoly Consumption Cured. An old physican, retired from active practice, having had placed in his hand by an East India Missionary the for mula of a simple Vegetable Remedy, for the tspeedy and permanent Cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung Affections, also a Radical Cure for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints, after having thoroughly tested its won derful curative power in thousands of cases, feels it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive, and a conscientious desire to relieve human sufferings, he will send (frte of charge) to all who desire it, this recipe, with full directions for pre paring and successfully using. Sent by return mail by addressing with stamp, naming this paper. DR. W. C. STEVENS, 22yl Monroe Block, Syracuse N. Y. Stop That Cough!
