To MAKE room for other goods, Mrs. Charles will sell her stocks of worsteds and worsted embroideries below cost for a few days. ON MOVDAY as Frank McCullough was riding horseback in the southern part of the city his horse fell with him and broke his collar-bone. THERE is a probability of a line of steamers beiDg run between this city and Bay City, Diamond Bluff and Stock holm, Wisconsin, during the coming sea son. THE roads in this vicinity have been badly washed, and in some places are almost impassable. To this condition of affairs is due the scarcity of teams from the country. MR. J. V. H. BAILEY has sold his farm in Goodhue township, about two two weeks ago, fo-r $6,500, and has bought land in Washington county, whether he intends removing. THE direct application is the right way to reach the Lungs. Inhaling "Forest Tar in Solution" has proved most satisfactory to the Patients and Physicians, The persistent use cures Catarrh.

S. Grow. The public are invited to attend. THE "Problem of Life," as delivered by Mr Theodore Tilton at Music Hall yesterday evening was one of the most powerful sermons we ever listened to. It would be a good thing for this coun try if wehad an army of lecturers who would tell us such truths and tell them as well. "TEN Nights in a Bar Room" will be presented at Opera Hall on the evenings of the 21st, and 22d, by the Good Tem plars. The preparations made are such as to make it very certain that this en tertainment will be highly interesting, and we hope there will be a large audi ence present. THE Executive Committee of the P. of II. Mutual Benefit Association of Goodhue county held a meeting on Sat urday last, agreed ou forms of applica tions for and certificates of membership, and fixed the bond of the Treasurer at $1,000. PCRE Mixed Paints, ground in White Lead and boiled in Linseed Oil, and guarantied to he lree from all impuri ties, will be received at Mr E Baker's this week. Those having painting to do will do well to get their supplies at this establishment. ON the fourth page will be found an advertisement of Roberts' School Furniture and Supplies. We know whereof we speak when we say that for comfort, durability, convenience and cheapness combined Prof Roberts' School Furniture cannot be excelled. A SUBSCRIBER orders his paper stop ped because we have spoken against the bonus to the Midland Narrow Gauge railroad. On refering to our list we find that he has not paid his subscription for more than a year. If he patronizes the railroad company as liberally, we can only say, heaven help the company! WE notice that the County Auditor, Mr. S Willard, has had thenew books for the town assessors arranged in com pliance with the Act of 1875, so that an entire quarter section, where it all belongs to one individual, can be includ ed in a single description, instead of requiring a separate description for each forty acre lot, as has been the rule. THE remainder of the stock of drugs, medicines, perfumery, toilet articles, fancy goods, &c, (together with the store fixtures and a first class soda fountain,) of Messrs. Jaehing & Teele have been removed to the building next to Bixby's bakery on Main street, where they will be sold, in lots to suit purchas ers, at cost and less than cost. 27w2 MR. DALL. MASON and Mr. Beatty, from Ellsworth, were here after goods for local merchants of that village on Tuesday. Mr. Mason says the roads through the timber are muddy as usual atthis season. Ellsworth is prospering. A bridge across the east channel and island lake would lead to all the Ells worth merchants having their goods hauled from Red Wing. ON LAST Friday evening Opera Hall was filled with an intelligent audience to enjoy the entertainment by Sauls bury's Troubadours, with which they all seemed perfectly satisfied. It came up fully to what was promised, the act ors peVformed their respective parts ex cellently. A more mirth provoking ex hibition we have seldom witnessed. Theaudience was kept laughing through out the entire evening. May this com pany give us another call in the early future. 3IARTIN REAGAN traded a horse for a mare with Dr. Bissell, last Wednesday. Subsequently Philip Wa ters stated that the horse was his and that Regan had no right to trade it, and demanded that it be returned, but Bis sell refused to return the animal and, locking thestable door, went to supper. Reagan and Waters returned during his absence and breaking open the stable, took the horse out and put the mare in and went off. Bissell overhauled them at Heising's brewery, and deman ded the horse, hut they refused and af ter a scuffle, drove away. Upon this Dr Bissell got out a warrant and had them arrested for horse-stealing, and they were bound over by Justice Phillips to appear at court. MADAME BISSONETT has opened a millinery and dress making establish ment on Third street, west of Bush, in the rear of Poole's drug store, and hasa fine assortmemt of goods, selected with taste and care, and employs skillful and trustworthy work women to make up hergoods. Her silks, laees, styles and patterns are imported direct from Paris and her goods from the best Chicago and Eastern houses. She intends that nothing shall leave her establishment that is not all she represents, and will strive to please all who favor her with patronage. Another important thing —she willfixher prices as low as can be afforded. Besides hernew work, she is prepared to bleach straw goods and make them as good as new and to col or straw in any style, also, to clean and renew old ribbons, crape, laces, etc. She iuvites the ladies of Red Wing to give her a call even if they may not wish to purchase. I THE CITY COUNCIL met on Saturday night last in regular meeting. His Ex cellency, Hon. Frank R. Sterrett, Mayor elect, was duly inaugurated, and Hon.addressed Fred. Sceback, Councilman elect, was sworn in and took his seat. Hon. T. K. Simmons, the other councilman elect, was sick and absent, arid his inaugura tion was necessarily postponed. Be cause of his absence, the Council did not "elect a Recorder to succeed Mr. Jorgen Simmons, but called upon hintto perform the duties pro tempore. A resolution was adopted directing the Superintend ent of the Fire Department to appoint a general election inthe Department to elect a first Assistant Engineer to suc ceed Mr. Seeback, who has resigned be cause of his election to the Council. The bill of John Seastrand, of $14 for special police service was allowed. MR. D„ C. HILL has secured Mr. Otis G. Day, a builder of skill and experience, as foreman of his buildins department. Mr. Day has, for four years past, been the foreman of Messrs. Leonard & See gar builders, of St. Paul, and he comes very highly recommended by Messrs. Ba&sford, architect, and Cochran &, Walsh and others, of St. Paul, as a builder second to none in the State. He was formerly from Maine and a grad uate of Bowdoin College. With the as sistance of Mr. A Cole in the office, and Mr Day at the head of the build ing department, in addition to his form er efficient force, Mr Hill is able to compete with anyfirminthe northwest, and is prepared to undertake anything in the building line in the State, and ought, at least, to be able to sustain if not to add to his past enviable reputa tion as a builder. THE MARKETS.—There is no wheat arriving and prices are nominally 95c. for No. 2 and $1 for No. 1. with no appearance of an advance, and the state ment that there are 2,000,000 bushels in store in towns on the river from St. Paul to Winona, gives a reason for this. Local dealers are not anxious to buy more until the opening of navigation af fords them opportunity of unloading. 'Reports from Milwaukee andChicago, dated 11th inst. note a slight advance in quotations, with a tendency upward, and in New York a fair export demand is reported. The latest foreign reports also indicate a more active demand. Good butter is scarce and has sold readily at 25@30c, while for poorer qualities the price has fallen off. Eggs are worth 15©18c and receipts are larg er. Potatoes are plenty at 30c to 40c as to quality. Other commodities ara unchanged. ON the fifth page of this paper will be found another interesting letter from our Texas correspondent, which is well worth reading and, especially by those who are not satisfied with Minnesota and sigh for a warmer climate. In con firmation of what "L." says, Mr. H. L.work Bevans, a former resident of this city wrote to his wife, who is in St. Paul, from Graham Young county, Texas, un der date of March 22d, as follows: ••Since my last letter to you we have had a terible norther and snow stortn. It last ed about two days, and I felt it as bad as our storms in Minnesota. It is Avarmer to day and raining. The truth is I don't like Texas as well as I expected. It is undoubt edly a good stock country and the winters are mild compared with those of Minnesota. Yet they have some awful storms in Texas in winter and long, continued droughts in summer. Fruit, except peaches, can only be raised where they have water forirrigation. ."* I think that many who come here from the North will be disappointed* Old settlers agree that this has been the warmest winter known in Texas. They usually have a good deal of cold weather and more or less snow. I am, of course, speaking of Northwest Texas. Southern Texas is warmer but sickly. In fact they have the chills and ague here. Blakely's family aud Aller's family have had the ague and there was a good deal of it here last summer. Warren Bristo[ Vindicated. Sometime ago a petition was received by President Grant, asking the removal of Hon. Warren Bristol from the Asso ciate Judgeship of the Supreme Court of New Mexico, alleging that he was ignorant of the law and guilty of collu sions with lawyers, &c. The petition was signed by 250 citizens »nd the ob ject seems to have been to prevent the re-appointment of Judge Bristol, whose term was about expiring. Judge Bris tol's friends in this locality were a good deal suprised to hear that he was the subject of»such charges, and rightly conjectured that the fault was in his accusers rather than in him and they will be pleased to learn that he has not only been re-appointed, but that his re appointment has called forth very gene ral expressions of satisfaction from the citizens of that territory generally. The Mesilla News of March 18th, published at the place where Judge Bristol resides, gives An account of a serenade to that gentleman, participated in by the lead- S ing and influential citizens of the town irrespective of political views, when one of the number, on behalf of the citizens, Judge Bristol as followers Judge Bristol:—We are here to express our sincere gratification, and to offer you our heartfelt congratulations, upon your re appointment and confirmation to the high office whose duties you have administered wth honor to yourself and to the satisfac tion of this community for the past four years. No partisan motive actuates us, for here are representative men holding differ ent political views—men representing the bone and sinew, the wealth, the intellect, of this community. They are hear to rejoice with you thatthe poisoned arrows of calumny, directed by the hand of of malice, have failed to reach their mark. That the voice of detraction has been silenced by the tones of truth. That justice has been done. The concluding remarks were still mere laudatory of Judge Bristol's integ rity as a judge and his character as a man. These expressions of commenda tion are warmly seconded by The Mesilla News itself, as the views of the great majority of citizens. The Daily New Mexican, published at Santa Fe, comments on his confirma tion in a similar strain of compliment. It says: In view of the great efforts made by the enemies of Judge Bristol to prevent this happy consummation, his honor ought to feel proud of this vindication. In our opin ion, as previously^expressed, Judge Bristol is in every way worthy of his position, and the support of all law-loving and honest peo ple the attacks upon him have been shame lul and outrageous, and prompted by the lowest, vilest motives. We believe him to be a just and able judge, and are glad that he has prevailed over his enemies. Judge Bristol's numerous friends in Red Wing aud hereabout will cordially endorse these sentiments. Dr. King's New Discovery. For Consumption, Coughs, Colds, etc. Invariably cures the most severe and stubborn cases in the shortesttime possi ble, as hundreds of its wonderful cures already prove. Every bottle guarantied to give entire satisfaction or money cheerfully refunded. For sale by F. A. Poole, druggist. Trial bottle free. 27w2 Wagon and Carriage Factory. On Third street east of Plum there is an establishment which deserves more than a passing notice. We refer to the wagon and carriage shop of Messrs. M. & J. Kappel. Last fall these gentle men put un a substantial brick building, 40 feet front by 60 feet deep, and three stories high, and are now occupying it as a wagon and carriage factory. Each floor is divided into two rooms extend ing through the. building from front to rear. On thefirstfloorin one room is the blacksmith shop, in which there are four forges constantly in operation. Besides ironing their wagons and car riages, they do general blacksmithing and repairing, including everything in this line except horse-shoeing. In the other lower room is the wood work shop, lined on two sides with benches, each of which was occu pied by a busy workman at the time of our visit. Here, besides making the wood-work of wagons and carriages, which is the specialty of their business, they do all kinds of work and repairing in the wheelwright line which may be required, and from what we saw of the work in progress, we feel free to add that it is well done and the material used is selected with great care. Above the wood-work shop is the paint shop, in which were some ten or twelve carriages, buggies, spring wag ons, &c, in different stages of comple tion, and the painters were busy finish ing their work upon them, after which they are passed into the next room to be trimmed and upholstered. Going into the trimming room, over the blacksmith shop, we found it all filled, except a few yards in front which the workmen occu pied, with spring wagons, single and double seated farm buggies, light single seated buggies, buggies with tops and buggies without tops in short, a full va riety of such articles as are demanded by the trade. The third story of the building is devoted wholly to storage of material. Here is an establishment employing fourteen mechanics constantly and turn ing out annually scores of wagons, car riages, sleds, sleighs, &c, equal to any made here and greatly superior to the average of those brought hither from abroad, and keeping them constantly on sale at prices as low as a good article can be bought for anywhere. They get their timber from Menasha, Wisconsin, using only the best, and are determined to deserve and obtain patronage by al lowing nothing to leave their shop that will not come up fully to their represen tations. Instead of buying vehicles made abroad, those who want anything in this line will promote their own inte rests by patronizing this and other simi lar local establishments. Cannon Falls Letter.
