Official Paper of Mille Laos County and the Village of Princeton. UST'All legal advertisements must be paUl for invariably before affidavit of publica tion will be furnished. No deviation from this rule hereafter. A. Smith is our authorized agent at Spencer Brook. Those who are owing us can settle with Mr. Smith, and those wishing to renew their subscriptions can do so through him, CONGRESS is still wrestling with the bill for the reduction of the army. THE contract for the bnilding of a portion of the St. Paul boom has been let. PILLSBURY has more friends in this neighborhood, at present, than he had two years ago. ONE hundred and fifty dollars is the tax in Princeton, for the privilege of selling from fair to middling whiskey ST. PAUL and Minneapolis have al ready commenced quarreling about where the next State Fair shall be held. P. II. KELLY, the energetic whole sale St, Paul grocer, has been elected president of the State Fair Associ ation. IF it was all right to give Auditor Whitcomb a third term, there is noth ing wrong in Governor Pillsbury also seeking a re-election. THE big city dailies have commenced to trot out their presidential candi dates, here are our men: U. S. GRANT for president, MATT. CARPENTER for vice-president. HE Pioneer-Preis favors Pillsbury for a third term the Dispatch is for anything or anybody to beat the P.-P. the Globe is anxious for a lively rump us in the Republican camp. No very great benefit would accrue to this county by the acquisition of Spencer Brook and Wyanett, at the same time Mille Laos is willing to "take 'em in-" HE editor of the Isanti County Press is unsopisticated enough to imag that if a heavy license is demanded of saloon keepers, those who do the drinking would not be compelled to pay the additional tax. HE two upper stories of Music Hail, corner Third & Wabasha streets. St. Paul, were destroyed by fire, on Tuesday afternoon. Total loss, $60,400 insurance, $45,550. SOME facts, far from creditable to Major Reno, in connection with the battle of the Little Horn, are being brought out at the investigation by the board of army officers, which is still in session at Chicago. SCORE one for the administration. On Monday, the Senate, by a vote of 33 to 554 confirmed the nominations of the New York Custom House offi cers, Merritt and Burt. ConkJing worked hard to prevent the confirm ation of these officers and is much chagrined over the result, Hayes and his friends are greatly elated. Ir there are any changes to be made in the judicial districts, we hope the bill for redistricting, introduced by Senator McDonald will be adopted it is the best scheme of any yet de vised. However, the people of the southern and eastern portions of the seventh judicial district seem to be well enough satisfied with St: Cloud for headquarters and Hon. James Mc Kelvy for judge. H. MlfATKINS has sold his interest in the fHr. River Star to A. N. Dare who becomes sole proprietor. Dare ^deservedly popular with the people of Elk River and Sherburne countyjranerally hence we predict a brilliant future for the Star. IN tr^Totunda of a Washington ho tel the other day, congressman Spring er, of Illinois, asked Hewitt, of Ala bama, ^ow Grant would run in the south? eve is the reply: "Run! We haven't got rifles and shot guns enough iqj tb. south to keep the nig gets ftlftwbting for him." HK ^S is some plain talk by Wood, of th: Benton County Pres: "We hereby^ pronounce its author, G. W. -Benedict, an unmitigated, dirty liar." In Missouri or Arkansas such words as those above quoted would mean the shedding of somebody's blood. IF the Supreme Court affirms Judge McKjfelvy's recent decisions in the tar title .cases in. which Cowles & Keith and Rines & Pratt, of this place, were the-^&efendants, the legislature had better pass a law exempting all pine lands in the state from taxation. Etow does Mr. A. DeLacy Wood like to be accused of perpetrating frauds of which he is not guilty? From reading his paper we should jige ke did not like it. Then he should not be so ready to falsely ac cuse others of wrong-doing. "V i ISANTII county, as at persent organ ised, will never vote a dollar to aid a^vv railroad project the interests of ijaa northern, western and southern portions of that county are too diverse. |This is something that the gentlemen %ho will attend the meeting which is held at Cambridge on the 14th, eil-fca confe r. HE Isanti County Press, says "that the liquor traffic in Cambaridge has been wholly kept up by outsiders and occasional visitors." "Occasional visitors" are very rare in Cambridge the home demand must have been good, otherwise, how did the place support two saloons? How would four-fifths of the tax payersand more than half of the county officersof the State have known anything about the provisions of the new tax law, had it not been for the publication of the same in the newspapers2 This interrogatory is propounded to the buncome reformers with which the present Legislature is cursedwho "strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.'" OUR special reporter is our authority for saying that no "lager" is sold in our village.Monticello Times. What did the fellow imbibe who al most carved the head of one of your salcon keepers into mince meat, last Saturday? The saloon in which the fracas occurred was, apparently, "shut up." Look out for the back doors, for outward appearances are very de ceiving. REPEAL NOTHING. Will the legislature repeal the $2,000 exempetion law enacted for the benefit of dead beat publishers9Delano Eagle. Why this shriek from the organ of the Wright county court house ling? Does the exemption law work any in jury to the publisher of the Eagle* We risk nothing in asserting that, nine-tenths of the newspaper men of the state are as honest, if not more so, than the writer of the above para graph. We believe in publishers as well as everybody else paying their just debts at the same time, we are in favor of the exemption law, as in these dull times publishers are often hard pushed, and would be at the mercy of unscrupulous enemiescourt house ringswere it not for this law. Thanks to Senator Hill, the attempt to repeal this exemption law, in the Senate, on Friday, was killed by a motion to indefinitely postpone. RAISING THE WIND. The great sensational preacher, Rev, T, DeWitt Talmage, is in trouble a committee of five was appointed, at a meeting of the Brooklyn Presbytery, on Monday, to investigate the charges preferred against himof "wander ing from the prescribed limits .of Pres byterianism and bringing religion into contempt." The following telegrams prove Mr. Talmage to be a trickster he wanted John Talmage to al low his name to be used as a blind so as to induce others to subscribe. BROOKLYN, Jan. 30,1878. John F. Talmage. Eutaw House, Balti more Will you and Mr. Hobbs allow me to pledge you each for $5,000, providing I make up to each of you privately, the difference between yonr subscription and $5,000? Telegraph immediately. T. DBWITT TALMAGE. BALTIMORE, Jan. 30,1878. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage: Cannot permit course suggested. Frank ness, earnestness, and faith, without de ception will command success. Do not telegraph again, as Hobbs and self are used up now thinking over it. JOHN F. TALMAGE. DON'T WANT IT. The bill introdured by Mr. Jones, of Olmsted county, providing for the re duction of the judicial districts will not meet with much favor among the peo ple of the seventh district. The Piomer-Vress, referring to the subject says: We aie not prepared to say whether the readjustment of districts proposed in the bill is the best that could be devised. The Ramsey county judges have, we think, now about as much as they can well at tend to, And though the large district including Anoka, Isanti, Chisago, Pine, Kanabec, Sheiburne, Mille Lacs, Benton, Morrison and Todd, would not perhps add greatly to their labors, The terms of court in each of these counties would average at least a week, adding to this the time' neces sarily expended in traveling to and from the county seats, 100 days labor would be added to the duties of the judges of Ramsey county. The bill introduced by Senator McDonald is far preferable to this one. NO FRONTIER COUNTIES NEED APPLY The house has effectually sat down on bridge bills, which is correct, as there will not be income from the internal im provement revenue fund to bridge a brook in ten years, more or less. The Stearns county bill was the first victim before the committee of the whole yesterday after noon, and now Dr. Bissell, the author, thinks seriously of introducing a bill to bridge all the streams in the State length wise.Extract from Saturday's Pioneer Press. However much needed, the appro priation asked for by the Hon. A. M. Fridley, for the purpose of building a bridge across the West Branch of Rum River at this place, there is little prospect of its being allowed. If it was some swindling scheme for the benefit of St. Paul or Minneapolis the ilonse would not effectually sit down on it. Every dog has his day, and St, Paul and Minneapolis interests will not always predominate in the state legislature. Always the Case. We confess to being somewhat surprised at the smallness of the audience that greet ed Budd Reeve last week We expected better things of this community, and are therefore much pained to find that while a negro minstrel show or circus, will bring out a crowded house every time, an intelligent and interesting lecturer will only have a paltry score or more of peo ple come to hear him. We hare always noticed that those people in our commun ity who like to be considered the well read and intelligent portion of it, are al ways conspicious by their absence at such places Elk River Star. Mr. Reeve lectured here in Prince ton previous to the holidays, and al though he had a much larger audience than at Elk Riveraccording to the ISfor, still, the parties who incurred the expense of bringing him here came out at the "small cud of the boru." NO. 7. The controversy in regard to the new central road to Princeton, has been settled, we hear, and the road will be opened now, without further opposition.-Elk River Star. Just So A bill has been introduced in the Legis lature to restore the death penalty for murder in the first degree. It ought to pass.

Why do you ask Johnny?" "Because you said you hadn't paid any thing for your paper, and the printer still sends it to you." "Wife, spank that boy." "I shan't do it." "Why not'" "Because there is no reason to." "No reason? es there is spank him I tell you, and put him to bed." "I shan't do any such thing. What in the world do you want him spanked for?" "He is too smart." "Well, that comes of your marrying me." "What do you mean"" "I mean that boy is smarter that his father, and you can't deny it. He knows enough to see that a man, printer or no printer, cannot live on npthing: and I should think you would be ashamed of yourself not to know as mnoh." Good Field for a Temperance Organiz ation to Labor In We are informed by Mr. Whitney that at a little wedding party given in the town of Maywood, this county, a few weeks since, King Alcohol got possession before morning, when quite a fracas ensued, the bridegroom throwing a stone at one of the party, missing his antagonist, and hitting his father, an old man, on the head, fell ing him to the ground, and rendering him unconscious for a time. We understand the unfortunate old gentleman is still con fined to his bed, and in a critical condi tion.Bentpn County Press.

UMON: The Good Templars' Lodge at this place is progressing finely, every week increases our numbers if those "thirs ty ones" do not come soon they will not find any one to help them drain the "Lttle brown jug" which they will, of course, bring along with them. The following are the officers elected and installed for the ensuing quarter. S. D. Messer, W. C, T. Mrs, M. E. Smith, W. V. S. M. Chapman. W. S. G. A. Wentworth, W. F. S. Mrs. N. E. Davis, W. T. W.

Miss Alice Bryant, W. L. S. John A. Kelly, P. W. C. T. A LECHEROUS beast and a cowardly villain is John Dunham, a prominent Minneapolis wholesale grocer he took improper liberties with a little ten year old girl,and according to all accounts she was not the first one Mr. Town, the father of the girl, was naturally indignant and told the story to a newspaper reporter on Tuesday night Dunham iuveighled Mr. Town into his store pretending to be anxious to have the matter hushed up, as soon as Town entered the store the door was locked, Dunham and his son as sisted by two other pals, then pitched on Town and pouuded him almost to death. Dunham went and gave him self up, N. B. Hardwood becoming his bondsman in the amount of $2,000 wonder how Mr. Harwood would have felt if it had been bis own daughter that Dunham had assaulted? On Wednesday morning Dunham, his son and one of the other assassins, appear ed before Judge Cooley of the munic ipal court pending the next session of the district court, the former was required to furnish bonds to the amount of 5,000 and the two latter in the sum of $2,000 eath. -~%uapKgMgs{
