June, of Mil ford, a stack of wheat was struck by lightning last Saturday morning ano" wholly consumed, but the timely ar nviil of neighbors prevented the il.imes from spreading to the other stacks. We had a repetition of July weather last week. The thermometer at noon day on Thursday indicated nearly 90 in the shade and Friday was but little cooler. The hot weather was follow ed by heavy showers on Saturday and Sunday, which had the effect of cooling off the atmosphere somewhat. Dr. James R. Henderson, of St. Louis, Mo., says: One of our greatest blessings to our people who suffer with Tiles will be found in Dr. Bosanko's Pile llemedy. It has superceded every thing I have ever tried in my practice. Almost every day I hear this Remedy highly spoken of, which leads me to believe that what everybody says must be true. FRESH OYSTERSNicNenno last Mon day evening received a consignment of fresh oysters, the first of the season. We understand that later In the sea son he contemplates keeping a good supply and will be prepared to serve them raw, fried or stewed at all hours on shoit notice. He will also sell them by the can. We learn from Alex. Harkin, of West Newton, who was in our city last Sun day on his way home from St. Peter, that the Nicollet county fair held at St. Peter last Friday and Satuiday was the best ever held in that county, and that despite the unfavorable weather on Saturday it was an entire success in point of exhibits and visitors. Per manent buildings have been erected by the society and the annual exhibi tions will become better from year to year. The loudest claims atpiosent for the legislative honors of the two districts to which we belong come, we believe, from Lac Qui Parle and Blown for senator and from Redwood for Repre sentative. Brown will undoubtedly put forward S. D. Peterson, and Lac' Qui Parle Mr. Jacobson for senator. Since Lac Qui Parle elected a Demo cratic representative for us we have not given much weight to her claims. We expect, however, to stand by the nominee, if a compotent man. Wheth er Lyon county will present a name or not we are unable to say.Marshall Messenger. The lively and wild perambulation of Mr. Keim's team through the streets of our city yesterday morning, created considerable excitement for a few moments. Mr. Keim and Mi. D. Fidelcr were unloading potatoes from the Avagon, when all at once and without apparent cause the horses made a lunge, broke their hitching and started along 2d N street towards Minn. street on a furious run. Mr. Fidcler who was in the wagon at the time was thrown violently to the ground, receiving several severe bruis es and a fracture of the left arm. Reaching Peusor's store, the horses turned down Minn, street, and in so doing scattered the potatoes and allgress. but the front running gear of tho wag on promiscuously over the street in front of Toberer's jewelry store. The horses then ran once around the block and finally brought up in front of Lei bold's barber .shop, where they were caught. Diphtheria is making sad ravages in our city just now and since last week's issue of tho REVIEW the families of J. Mueller, J. Bender and P. Bartle have been bereaved by the loss of beloved children. Mr. Muller lost his only son, aged eight years, last Friday and all his other children have suffered terribly with the same disease. Mr. Bender's child died on Thursday, and he has still another ono down, while that of Mr. Bartle died on Wednes day. The latter also had several other children dangerously sick with the dreadful malady. A little girl of Ath. Henle living with John Lauter bach near the Catholic church is not expected to recover. Mr. Belm's and Mrs. Simon's children are all down, and the malady is making such fearful strides that the public schools were dismissed on Monday forenoon for tho entire week. Everything is being done by our doctors to check the disease and it is sincerely hoped their efforts may prove successful. Salt as a Fertilizer. We have, so far, been unable to ob tain any reliable and deGnite informa tion as to the experiments made in this county in the use of salt as a fertilizer, but we learn that Mr. Valentine, who used a ton on his farms in the Red 1 wqad country, is well pleased with it, and%iinks it has well repaid the inber vestment. He sowed it in strips, and at first thought the difference could not be noticed, but afterwards it was quite perceptible. The wheat looked greener and heavier, and after harvest ing he is satisfied that land upon which the salt was sown produced quite one half more than that in the same field where it was not used.Marikato Re- view.' jmi^Bm NICOLLETCOimTVPOMTI* S The Republican nominating con vention of Nicollet county was held in St. Peter last Saturday.

Sept. 18, 1880. Editor Review. As you receive news from nearly all parts of tho county, I will make an effort to informs your readers of the doings in this part. There is a good deal of fun going on here which keeps things lively. The young folks are taking the lead, and the old folks tho heed. So it goes in Cottonwood. I is a famous town. It is known to have 15 threshing ma chines and nearly all run by the youngsters. The elders take it easy at home. The Minnesota Chief was started this year by oui general agent' 'Paul. He feels quite dishoaitened, for thecounty new oats threshed by it gave a horse the colic for the hard pull on it and our boss feeder holds his head rather queer when feeding. Little Dr. had to suffer for saying it. Since horse thieves have made a visit to our town all that pass through here and sell horse medicine oi want to buy chickens, are looked upon as horse thie\ os. They seem to have a good eye on G. Guth's grays now, but his two guns set at the door will surely pop them over to the next world Avhere the grays can't bo seen. Tho Aulmant Taylor, bought by Nic and John Gulden, is now doing the best threshing in Cottonwood The old rattle boxes will no doubt go up in a smokeless fame. Some horses, perhaps from New Ulm. have jumped the fence, after they had done some damage to a coin field. They aic now in Schloman's pasture and bothering our town Clerk.

Zieske knows what he is about he always said Maine would give a Republican majority, which in'due time will be proved. The editor of the Herald was rather fast in regard to the first news.

BROWK COUNTY FA1HV The annual fair of the Brown Coun ty Agricultural Society, held in andwax around Turner Hall last Saturday and Sunday came very near being a failure, not through the fault of the society, however, but by the decrees of the weather clerk, who had willed bad weather. Owing to the heavy shower on Saturday morning and the continu ed threatening weather during the en tire forenoon, but little or nothing had been brought in up to 12 m., the time designated by the society when all ar ticles entered with a view of contest ing for the premiums should have to be delivered, and the prospect looked anything but encouraging. Shortly after noon however, the heavens began to assume a more favorable aspect and a few of the farmers living nearest to the city began to arrive with their vegetables, grain, poultry, etc., and with each arrival the mem bers of the society in waiting at the hall became encouraged and hope grew within them that with pleasant weath er on the morrow all might yet be well. But, alas! they were partially doomed to disappointment, as with the dawn of day on Sunday morning another shower came up nnd is late as 10 o'- clock it looked bettor then on the d.iy befoie. Th \v ither cleared up about noon and tm* .ittendance of visi tors during the afternoon was quite good considering the prevailing high wind and the bad roads in the country. Despite these drawbacks the display as a whole was very creditable. Especi ally was the exhibit in the LIVE STOCK DEPARTMENT quite good in fact we believe it was fully up to last year's standard in point of numbers of horses and cattle. Sheep were not so numerous, and swine were wholly ignored. It was hoped that this year's fair might be a grand finan cial success and that thereby the socie ty would be enabled to prepare stabling accommodation in a year hence, but we fear this has been a deluded hope. Farmers can hardly be expected to bring in their stock and leave it stand ing exposed to the elements for two or three days and nights, and no marked improvement in the exhibits of this department will be made until shelter for the stock placed on exhibition is provided for. THE rOULTRY DEPARTMENT showed a very decided improvement over last year's exhibit, although it was by no means what it should have been considering that every farmer possesses numerous fowls. THE MACHINERY DEPARTMENT, nev*)r very well represented, was the most neglected of all this year. A corn planter, manufactured by Thomas Foistner, and a Farmers' Friend fan ning mill, manufactured byC. F. Held, comprising the whole display of farm machinery. Both of those machines possess merits, however, that com mend them to the farmers in this vi cinity, and if in want of either one or the other they should, all things being equal, patronize home industry. The exhibits in tho AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT were very creditable in point of qual ity but numeiically they fell far short of the previous yeai. Entering the hall fiom the main entrance, Mr. Wm, Baumgertner's exhibit of a large va riety of vegetables, on the left, and Capt, S. A. George's usual good display of squash, melons, grapes, etc., on the right, became at once conspicuous. On tables along the right-hand aisle were arranged neatly the numerous exhibit* of wheat, bailey, rye, oats, flax seed, coin, potatoes and vegetables general ly while Wm. Baumgeitner occupied ncaily tho whole left-hand aisle with a beautiful display of pot flowers. Di rectly in front and centre of the stage Mr. Aug Schell had displayed his usu al ingenuity by building a beautiful arbor with remarkable semblance to nature. On each side of this was placed on a platform tho fruits, honey, grapes, wines, &c, brought theic for exhibition, while on the stage were four large and beautiful flower plants, the property of August Quense and Jacob Hottinger, which were viewed with admiration by all the visitors. Some fine specimens of apples and grapes were exhibited M. Penning, Louis Thiele and Aug, Schell being the principal exhibitors. The display of butter and cheese compared favorably with that of former years. FLORAL HALL offered many attractions pleasing to the eye, and, taking everything in con sidciation, the exhibits far surpassed our expectations. The merchants' de partment however, was sadly deficient Kieling, Keller & Co. and Cheap Char ley being the only ones making a dis play. The former showed some fine samples of dress goods and the latter several suits of ready-made clothing and a show case of notions, boots, shoes, Ac. Wm. Gebser, of Sleepy Eye, exhibited seven brands of cigara, the products of bis establishment. As the fair next year will be of longer duration and as arrangements will no be made obviating thejnecessity ot exhibitors hustling everything away in the greatest confusion at the close of the fair, it is expected that every merchant in the city will contribute something in the way of making a creditable display of his wares. Mr. Fr. Heers exhibited a bureau of ar tistic workmanship, his own manu facture. John Lauterbach & Co.wmThiele, made a happy hit when they placed the handsome carriage on exhibition, manufactured in their establishment for Dr. Carl. The work was pronounc ed A No, 1 by all who examined the carriage, and it gave proof that the firm is composed of mechanics that understand their calling thoroughly. The beautiful collections of minerals, pebbles r.nd stones exhibited by Louis Meyer, Sen., and Gustav Gebser at tracted much attention. All of the numerous specimens shown were gathered in this vicinity by the ex* hibitors. $ome very beautiful ladies' .MM^mim'mwm, After a short interval Mr. Peter Scheier, piesiilent of the society, stepped on a platform anG made a few remaiks in the Geiman language. He hoped that the wholesome advice of Mr. Biandt would be lived up to, anil that every farmer in tho county and every mechanic and business man of New Ulm would take an active in terest in the next annual fair, and ho promised that the society would spare neither pains nor money to make it a success.

Albert Wagner, as usual, was on hand with his favorite and ir repressible Davis sewing machine, but his occasional absence indicated that some other attraction divided his time usually exclusively devoted to the Davis. The large collection of plants and flowers of Mrs. Gebser and Mr.Petry was admired by all and added beauty and animation to the scene. The visitors were entertained on Sunday afternoon by Adelbeit's band, which furnished the music during the continuance of the fair. Shortly after 4 o'clock Hon. C. Brandt, vice president of the society, stepped upon a platform and delivered the annual address. He said that the lands in Brown county and vicinity could not be excelled anywhere, but in order to make them more profitable they needed more thorough cultivation than farmers are giving them. This is a progressive age and we should try and live up to the times and advance with the balance of the world. While he advocated making wheat our main crop, he deprecated the practice of some farmers in placing their depen dence exclusively upon that. He said our sod and climate was well adapted for raising most anything, especially corn, and advocated a more extended stock raising. He was sorry to see'so much young stock go out of the coun try when corn and hay being much cheaper here than elsewhere, stock could be raised and fattened by our farmers with good profit. He also ad vocated an improvement in the quality of stock and more and better attention to dairy interests. He said that over $20,000 was annually lost to our coun ty through a lack of interest in this branch of the farmers' incomo and con sequent inferior quality of butter. There was no reason why the farmers of this vicinity could not make just as good butter as those in other parts of the United States. Spring houses and good clean cellars were a necessity for good butter making. While he thought it might be true that farmers invested too much money in farm machinery in some instances, he did not believe this to be the case universally. He said help was getting more scarce from year to year and that farmers were ob liged to provide themselves with all the latest improved machinery for harvesting their crops. He deprecat ed the habit of some farmers of going irredeemably into debt for machinery or anything else, and hoped all would endeavor to establish all their trans actions on a cash basis. lie advocat ed patronizing and rncourageing home industry in all its branches and there by endeavor to keep as much money at homo as possible. He anknow nounced that in order to do away with all bickerings and give all classes an opportunity to participate in the annu al fairs of the society, three days would be devoted to the next fair and he hoped that all would take hold and as sist the society to make it a grand suc cess. He said that despite the unfav orable weather and consequent partial failure of this year's fair, the society, had money enough to pay every cent of the premiums awarded. The speakei was listened to with close attention and at tho close of 13 remaiks he wascivil heartily applauded. $5,00 3,00 4.00 J,00 3,00 2,00 1,00 1,00 4,00 3,09 2,00 1,00 2,00 1,00 2,C0 1,00 2,00 2,00 1,00 1,00 1,00 Haberle, best wheat, 2,00 l..

For the Review by O. P. Champlin. MOKE POLITICAL, NOTES. liespecting the personal character of General Hancock we have conceded too much in admitting his character to be above reproach. The evidence ac cumulates that he was both brutal and profane in his treatment of the "boys," or let me say, men who fought under him. I grieve that this is so as Ifear\ve must admit it is. Garfield may bo brutal, but he is not profane and there is no evidence of his brutal ity so far as I am aware. Choosing between these two on the point of per sonal character Garfield would be tak en and Hancock left if the choice fell upon the better man. Still, waving all this and for the sake of the argument, we will admit one to be as good a man and soldier as the other, let us carry the comparison still further as between them personally. 3. Gen. Hancock cannot be said to be a civilian. He is not versed in civil law. Hi3 knowledge of it must be, quite na tin ally, superficial. He is not a statesman and never has had any experience that would qualify him to govern skillfully. Of the art of gov ernment he is ignorant. In the dis charge of civil functions he is untried. He has spent his whole life simply as a soldier. These are very simple state ments but every one of them is signi ficant. They ought not to be passed by without due consideration. If it is not best to have a president educated and experienced in civil matters prac ticed in making and executing laws then it is just as well for Gen. Han cock in the pending canvass. Mr. Gar field, unlike his opponent, is a civilian. He has had education and practice in the art of government. He is a states man, a legislator who has a record. Gen. Hancock has no record of a simi lar nature. He is a negative man, without a record to show what his views are on the great practical ques tions of the day. It is possible he has well matured views but we do not know it. Even in his letter of accept, ance there is nothing to relieve our ig norance. On the contrary Mr. Gar field not only has convictions but we what they are. He has declared his views and they aie befoiethe peo ple. He thinks, he studies, he delibe rates, he acts and whether good oi bad the people know the nature of his thought, his study, his action. He is not afraid of himself, his ideas do not scare him. He is not afraid his ideas will harm his character or reputation. Tossibly Gen. Hancock isn't but, in truth, we do not know it. It does seem as though his party passed by its states men, weie of great ability and charac ter, men lucated and experienced in affairs for tins man of no civil iccoid, oino education and expeiience in civil affaiis but having a mihtaiy tiaining and lame in order that it would be fiee from the burden of de fense a man like the Tildens, or Bay ards would impose upon it in the can vass. But that is nothing to Hancock. Only in choosing between the two men, the civilian, the statesman, the man of civil education and practice, of positive convictions and record should be pie. ferred to the man wholly destitute of these qualifications. To choose the other way is folly. We have need of statesmen. Wc suffer because we have so few. Never in the history of our country have wo been in so soie need excepting the time at the close of the Rebellion. The land mourns to-day be cause we have not had statesmen to ad minister civil law. It is an nnpeiti nence to ask the people of this country to place over the Republic a man whose whole life has been military and lead ing away fiom the contemplation of the problems of civil government. The nature of our governmment demands men trained and expeiienced in State matters to carry it successfully on. Re construction shows what novices and bunglers may do. Wholly independent of party considerations, decided on the ground of qualification, otjitness, Mr. Garfield should be the choice of every man. It is nnfortunate for General Hancock that he should be a novice in civil matters though his party may not think so. Even if he were the better man personally, which we fear he is not, Mr. Garfield on the ground of his superior fitness, should be preferred to him. It is hoped those who care more for qualified than party men will weigh the point under discussion and allow the result to act as a determining mo tive in the final choice.

The time has now arrived when a fanning mill be one of the most urg ent needs of the farmers, and the question with them will arise which is the best mill to have.
