A full set of teeth at Dr. Foster's dental office on celluloid for S3, that other dentists are charging $12 for. The roads in the country are now almost impassable and the city in con sequenco presents a very quiet appear ance. The no-license paity Madelia car ried the day at the village election on the 4th inst. by 12 rnajoiity, but the Times fears that liquor will be sold on the sly. The Gtencoe Enterprise says that a large number of farmers in that section are purchasing large quantities of salt to spread i their broad acres this sea son. Large bottles, good medicine, is the reputation of Dr. Marshall's Lung Syrup. It cures coughs and cold quick ly. The price is only twenty-five and fifty cents a bottle. The Waseca Herald states that there are still seventy-five car loads of freight at that place designed for points west of Sleepy Eye, waiting for the snow blockade to be raised. REST AND FOR SALE.Several good farms to rent, and farm lands, both wild and improved, for sale. Apply to J. Newhart, NewUlm.Minn April 13-81 According to the records kept at Fort Snelling, the snow fall this winter has been four times as great as for the previous nine years, and nine times the average of nineteen years. "Standing on the platform, wait ing for the cars," one wintry night, was how he caught a severe cold. One bottle of Dr. Marshall's Lung Syrup cured him.

Judge Cox who was in the city yes terday informed us that he has in structed our Clerk of the Court not to call a grand jury for the May term of court, there being no criminal busi ness to come before it, which speak volumes for the morality of our coun ty- Some idea of the strength of the re cent snow blockade along the Sioux City and St. Paul road may be gathered from Ihe fact that one drift, between Hospers and Sheldon, was 8 miles long and fifteen feet deep. The mass was so compact that it had to be removed in large blocks like ice. The hum of the threshing machine can again be heard in the land but do not parties mako a mistake who are now getting their grain threshed? Some farmers claim that the grain which re mained in stack during the winter is very wet and not fit to be threshed just yet. The editor of the Tracy Gazette* who knows whereof he speaks, has a good word to say for one of our lead ing hotels, as follows: 'The Merchant's Hotel at New Ulm, kept by Charley Brust, is daily increasing its patronage which it so richly deserves. There is always an abundance on the tables and good beds to lepose in." The attention of farmers is called to the notice of Col. Pfaender, secretary of the New Ulm Sugar Works, which appears in another column. As the Company, as now organized, is in a position to fill its contracts to the let ter, farmers will run no risk from that source in plantiug their broad acres to sugar cane. the shovel brigade on the Mintt. Val ey railroad reached Red wood Falls last Friday evening, and trains are now running regularly to that point again.

The load will prob ably be opened to Maishall by Satiuday or Sunday. We are out of print paper and flour Darned inconvenient to print ou wiappmg paper, and giind wheat in the coffee mill.-Lake Benton News. Pretty tough, biother, but as we notice in the same issue from which the above was clipped that C. M. Morse had started with five teams se veral days before for Sleepy Ej e, for merchandise, we hope you will not be compelled to do so some more. Cheap Charley has a few words to sa to our readers this week, and none should lay the paper aside without first perusing the mammoth ad. which ap pears on the second page. Every word said is meant, and people can rest as suied that although cheap, the goods offei ed are not shoddy. Give him a call and convince yourselves of the truth of the above. The letter recently written by John Haubris in the St. Peter jail and which we published last week, now holds good. Haubris and another prisoner named Alonzo Paisons have made their escape and we undeistand that Sheriff Downs has done just ex actly what Haubris in his letter sug gested, namelyto offer a reward foi his apprehension. The joke is now on the Sheiiff. The attention of our readers is called to the new advertisement of Hsoberle & Seiter which appears elsewhere in this issue of the REVIEW. The young gentlemen composing this new firm are practical tinsmiths and il can be taken for granted that all work turned out by them will be first-class. They have facilities for doing all kinds of tin and sheet iron work, and are prepared to take contracts for roofing buildings. Give the boys a start. Seth II. Kenney of Rice county, who has devoted much time and study to the amber cane sugar problem, says that the outlook for this season is very good. Capitalists from Chicago are considering the feasibility of convert ing a large glucose manufactory at Burlington, Iowa, into an amber cane refining establishment, Messrs. Kenney and C. M. Schwartz have been invited to examine the country in that vicini ty, and report upon its adaptation for cane growing. We notice by the Gazette that Robt. Watson has been ousted from the Red. wood post office. Was it because he made several trips to Sleepy Eye with a hand sled, and displayed such com mendable pluck in endeavoring to keep his pations supplied with mail, during the past wintei? We understand that a large majority of the people receiv ing mail ac the office were satisfied with Mr. Watson, and desired him to be continued.

The publisher of the Lake Benton Times makes the following plea to its business men, which also holds good with us: "W aie prepared to do first-class job woik for the spring trade. Our business men will need letter heads, note heads, bill heads, statements, envelopes, business cards, postal cards, circulars, etc. All these we are prepared to print in first-class shape at reasonable prices. Remem ber that it is always to your interest to support home institutions, especial ly when they can give as good work as can be done anywhere, and you can see to it yourself, and know the woik will be done in the form you desire to have it." The County Commissioners of Lyon county have a queer way of doing bus iness. They advertised for bids for the county printing, to which the Mar shall Messenger and Lyon County News responded. The former offered to print the delinquent tax list for five cents per description, and other legal adver tising at 10 cents per folio the latter's bid was eleven cents, and a fraction, per description for the tax list, and sixty-five cents per folio for other legal advertising. The board with remark able promptitude designated the News as the official paper of the county. The tax payers of Lyon county must appre ciate their county board. The Lamberton Commercial is thority for the statement that on day afternoon, the 4th instant., a ty of men made a raid on the I Creek railroad bridge between tin and Walnut Grove, carrying off teen braces each sixteen feet long a 3 inches square on the end, and a chopping into some ties on the top the bridge. The bridge i great weakened by the removal of the b) ces. The theft is unpardonable fre the fact that the other fuel was exhaustd. It is said that there plenty of snow fences near the bridge which they might have had by digging thorn out. One of the raiders wore a veil to conceal his face. Given up by the Doctors.

It is stated that 14,000 car-loads of railroad ties, fence posts and telegraph poles have been got out during the winter on the line of the Chicago and Northwestern road on the Michigan peninsula This is independent of the immense amount of the same material which has been taken out during the winter for the same ro&d at the differ ent points between Ft. Howard and Maiinette. This immense amount of material is for the company's roads in Minnesota andDakota and will be taken over the Green Bay and Minnesota railroad as far as Winona, and thence west over the Winona & St. Peter road. Piesident Garfield last Wednesday appointed John Lind of this city to the receivership of the Tracy land office, and he now only awaits confirmation by the Senate before entering upon the duties of his office.. Mr, Lind is an at torney by profession, and although yet quite young he has already built up a business of which an older man in the profession might f^el proud. Hon. C. C. Goodnow, whom Mr. Lind succeeds, was first reappointed by the President but we presume that Dunnel made such a racket about it that Goodnow's name was withdrawn and Lind's sent in in stead. W are pained to lose Mr.Lind and hope that when he relinquishes of ficial life he will again take up his abode in our midst. We are informed that the city coun cil last Friday evening by a vote of 3 to 2 decided to raise the city liquor li cense frcm $25 to $50, and also to lim it the number of stores and sa loons to which licenses shall be issued, to thirty. It was also the ex pressed desire of Messrs. Boock, Pfef ferle and Scherer, the three who voted for the above resolutions, to so word the new ordinances that if a person now licensed disposes of his business to another, the council shall be power less to grant a license to his successor to continue the business. If it is the desire of the above worthy gentle men to gradually wipe out all the sa loons, and abolish the sale of liquor from stores, the course proposed is the right one, but we have our doubts whether a majority of our people de sire such wholesome reforms. Such questions at this time should have been left to the new council to decide, a.id if it is in conflict with the wishes of the majority of the members thereof we hope they.will have the backbone to rescind this last piece of spite work of the outgoing council. FEUSOXAI.. Hon. S. D. Peterson visited St. Paul and Minneapolis last Thursday, returning home on Sunday morning.

Huron, D.T., March 27 th, '81- Editor Review: 1 was pleased yesterday to get a lot of New Ulm Reviews they don't come very regularly but I am always glad to get them even if they are a little old.

I have not time to write much but I will say enough to disprove and con tradict sOme of the false and ground less rumors that have been circulat ing in the St. Paul papers concerning the suffering and destitution prevailing along this line of railroad. We have had an abundance of everything ne cessary for the comforts of life. The R. R. Co. had 1200 tons of coal here, and they have been selling it to the people for $8,00 a ton.

I have had a family of 25 persons to feed all winter, and I have had no difficulty in procuring plenty of everything for them, and still have enough on hand to last till the first of May. W have had daily telegraphic news from the Chicago Times office, keeping us post ed on the most noted current events.

The United States Consul at Basle, Switzerland, has transmitted toSecretaryBlaine the rcsultb of bib investigation into the circum btances which led to the excitement in France aud Switzerland over American pork.

This court will also have to determine on the landlord's right of veto on the assignment of interest on a farm. Power to contract out of the act is given where the rental exceeds $1,000 per annum. The Land Court will consist of one Judge or ex-Judge of the Irish courts and two persons having practical knowledge of the relations between landlords and tenants. Sub-courts may be established by the cen tral court The bill also empowers this Land Court to buy estates which landlords are willing to sell, and resell them to the tenants, the title in the lands to be vested in the court, so as to guarantee payment, and to prevent subdivision. Advances will also be made to owners, tenants and solvent compa nies for the reclaiming of waste lands, or other agricultural improvements, the ad vance not to be greater than the amount to be laid out by the tenant, land lord or company to which it is ad vanced. Advances will also be made to as sist emigration. Mr. Gladstone spoke several hours in explanation of the provisions of the bilL He said the desire of the Government was to do justice to the Irish people, to give them laws which would enable them to live and thriveupon the land, to help them to pur chase farms, or assist them, if they preferred, to emigrate.
