The temperance meeting was not so largely attended on Tuesday night, as usual and there being no special sub ject of discussion the interest manifest ed in the meeting was not very great. The preliminary survey of the Princeton & Anoka Railroad was com menced on this end of the route, yes terday, Wednesday. A survey was commenced at the Anoka end on Mon day both parties expect to meet at St. Francis, on Saturday.

Deceased was born in Burns, Alleg hauey county, New York, and came to Princeton 18 pears ago. She was sister to Mrs. Cail J. Pinkham and Mr. B. F. Whitney. Her illness was long and painfulof two year's durationbut she was resigned to her fate and bore her sufferings patiently kind and at tentive Jriends and the best of medi cal skill could do nothing to retard the ravages of that fell diseasecousump tion, Her husband and daughter and a large circle of relatives and friends are left to mourn her loss --for Mrs. Sanford was held in high esteem by all who knew her, Th funeral, which took place on Tuesday from the family residene, was the largest one that ever occured in Mille Lacs coun ty, all of the friends and neighbors of the family turning out to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of her who in life the life the loved so well.

HELP IN ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE---In acquiring a knowledge of the English Language, and especially in learning the meaning of words, probably no other work, nor many other books al together, can afford so much aid as Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, with its 3000 Pictorial Illustrations, its precise and full definitions, its care ful discriminations of synonymous words, and its many valuable tables. It is, in itself, a whole library of the language. Let one family have a copy of this work, and use it faithfully, and another be without it,---the difference in the progress of the two families in getting knowledge will be very great. EDUCATIONAL --Last Monday even ing some of the people in the fown of Rich Prairie, celebrated the comple tion of a new school house in their dis trict by having a benefit, the proceeds to be used for educational purposes. Fifteen kegs of beer had been procured for the occasion, and great enthusiasm was accordingly developed.

Approved February 12th, 1878. E. C. GILE, President. A, P. BARKER, Recorder, THE PRESS AND THE PLOW. We envy not the princely man In city or iu town, Who wonder whether pumpkin vines Turn up the hill or down. We core not for his marble halls, Nor yet his heaps of gold Wo would not own hid sordid heart For nil Lid wealth twice told. We are the favored ones of earth. We breathe pure air each morn. Wo sow, we reap the golden grain, We gather in the corn. We tonwe live on what wc earn, And more than this we do We hear of starving millions round, And gladly feed them too. T: ej lawyer lives on princely fees, Yet drng3 a weary life, lie never knows a peaceful hour, His atmosphere is strife. A merchant thumbs his yardstick o'er, Grows haggard at his toil, He's not the man God meant him for Why don't he till the soil? The doctor plods through storm and raiu Plods at his patient's will When dead and gone he plods again To get his lengthy bill. The printerbless his noble soul! He grasps the mighty eartk, And stamps it on the daily sheet To cheer the laborer's hearth. We sing the honor of the plow, And honor to the Press Two noble instruments of toil, Each with a power to bles?. The bone, the nerves of thii fast ago, True wealth of human kind One tills the ever fruitful earth, The other tills the mind.SILKCTBD. Eeware of Cloth Peddiers. Elsewhere is published a notice signed by Bernard Brady, of St. Cloud town, warning persons against pur chasing a certain note for $54, which he was deceived into signing by a cloth peddler, who gave his name as M. Pas ner. From Mr. Brady, jwe learn the par ticulars of the transaction, which we here append for the information of, and warning to our people, Mr. Bra dy says that on Thursday last, this man came to his house in a buggy driv en by J. J. Hubert of this city (Mr. H. says he had nothing to do with the man's affairs, and was only hired to drive the horse.) The peddler first offered to sell Mr. Brady and wife two towels at five cents each white bed spread at 20 cents white table cover at 20 cents balmoral skiit at 5 cents. Having excited surprise at these low figures, the peddler next produced a piece of heavy boaver -cloth, contain ing three yards and half, which he offered to sell at $19, and which he said was about one-third its cost also cloth for a gentleman's complete suit, which he offered for $12, He next produced a broche shawl, which he solemnly declared ccst $65, and of ferad to sell it for $40. Mrs. Brady informed him that they had no money at the time, and could not buy the goods. The fellow immediately re plied that that made no difference to him he would sell on 30 days time, and laying the shawl over her arm de clared that he would let her have it for $20, and that she must keep it. Of the remainder of the transaction, Mr. Brady says he has no distinct rec ollection. The fellow talked so fast and so pleasantly that he lost his pres ence of mind, and when he recovered himself, Pasner was gone, taking with him Brady's note for $54, and leaving his trashy "cheap goods," Next day Mr. Brady came to town, and finding the peddler at one of the hotels, de manded the return of his note. Th swindter replied that he would call out next day and get the goods, and give up the note. Of course he did not appear, and Mr. Brady now warns the public against the purchase of his note. The above is a fair description of the manner in which these rascally cloth peddlers operate, and we give it, hop ing that our farmers who are the es pecial objects of the cloth swindlers* M'iles. will take warning and kick cut of doors every rascal who comes around selling "cheap cloths," etc. Our farmers and people generally, should recollect that they arc only safe when trading with our resident merchants, who sell legitimate goods at reasonable prices. So long as our people persist in patronizing traveling auctioneers and cloth peddlers, they may rest assured tliat they will be vic timized. There Is reason to believe that these fellows are still operating Stearns county, and wc aeraii. irn our people to look out for themhue nothing to do with them* it you doblanks you will get swindledsure.St. Times. No new cases of scarlet fever repor ted this week. NAKROW EscAHE---On Monday last, while a party of eight or ten boys were skating on the Mississippi near King's Island, above this city, two of their number. Philip Eastman and George Henderson, skated through an air hole, and narrowly escaped drown ing. Thoroughly wet through, they struck out for home whether the first lesson of the kind will be sufficient to keep them off dangerous ice, remains to be acen.~-Anoka S. $- R.
