WE have a brother-in-law who is pub lishing a daily newspaper in the thriving city of Quincj-, in Illinois. The paper was one year old Sept. lltli, and in his editorial,covering a retrospect of the year, Mr. Wheeler says somethings which we think are worth reproduction. Below we give an extract: The Journal has made some blunders during it's one year's life. We can see them now just as clearly as any one else. We are not infallible. We shall err in the future, as we have in the past. But this fact should be remembered: When a blun der shall be made, if we can be made to see it, we shall set matters to rights as quickly and as pleasantly as we know how. lt is a difficult matter to run a paper fault lessly to run it without making mistakes. It is more than we are able to do, or ever hope to be able to do. And there is this thing about a newspaper: It lives a pub lic life. It is always on the stage. Never off. A newspaper can never go behind the scenes. Its every act is a public one. Every error it makes* is made before the public's gaze. The errors in every other walk in life can be made privately—and being thus made arc not known. We shall make errors in the future we don't know how to avoid them. We wish we did. We indulge the belief that The Journal is a valuable addition to Quiney's news papers. We have tried to run it in the interest of this community as a whole. We have tried to run it in the interest of fair morals, and of manly decency Wc have tried to deserve the good will of good men, of manly men. and the ill will of the graceless scamps and unprincipled whelps of every kind and character. The curses of a scoundrel are music to our ear. When we skin a scamp we expect to hear him squeal—and we like to hear him squeal. If we have run the The Journal so that good men will say a good word for it, and the scamps and rogues curse it in round terms, wc are content. THE 12th Consecutive Annual Inter State Exposition will be held in Chicago September 8 to October 18, inclusive. Except, possibly, the old American In stitute, the Chicago Industrial Exposi tion is, we believe, the only organization of its class which for a long series of years has held its exhibitions without intermission, or which has been uniformly successful in the high character of its display or in financial results. Having only §173,000 from subscriptions to its capital stock in 1873, it has paid its cur rent expenses, made all neccssary repairs and expended over six hundred thousand dollars on construction and personal property accounts, and is entirely out of debt to-day. The average annual attend ance of visitors paying admission is about 400,000 or 10,000 per day for forty days. No similar organization in America can show any such record of well [de served success. Like the city of Chicago and the Northwest its progress has been without parallel. All transportation lines in the north west will give their lowest excursion rates to visitors. Admission to building, adults 25 cents children 15 cents. The Exhi bition will be open every day except Sunday, from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. THE Republican congressional commit tee of the First District met at the Cook House in Rochester Thursday, the 4th. Every city iff the district was represented, and an active and aggressive campaign was decided upon. A general plan for the campaign was mapped out and put into the hands of an executive committee, to be developed and carried on during the fall. Speakers will soon be put into the field and a thorough organization perfect ed. Great unanimity was shown in the committee's discussions, ftnd it is evident that there is lively work ahead for the Republicans of this disirict in the months to come.—Pioneer Pre**, PRESIDENT Airmen on Saturday gave Gen. Gresham his choice between suc ceeding Judge Folger or Judge Drum raond. He chose the Circuit Judgeship, and the appointment will be officially an nounced in a few days. It Is also stated that Frank Hat-ton will be our next Post master General. Who is to receive the Treasury portfolio is not yet known. THE very latest, nearly complete, re turns from Maine, give Robie, the Repub lican candidate for Governor, a majority of 19,707—against a Democratic majority in 1880 of 169 for Plaistcd. The Consti tutional Prohibition Amendment Is adopt ed by a majority of 44.288. Democracy and whisky arc unpopular In Maine. A PROHIBITION mass convention was held atEyota, Olmsted county,Sept. 15th. Some fifty delegates were present, includ ing the irrepressible W. W. Satterleewho made a speech. A. Bierce of Winona, was nominated for Congress. A CONFERENCE of rag-babyites was held in Spring Valley last Friday to con sider the feasibility and practicability of indorsing Adolph Biermann for Congress. The result has not been given to the pub lie. REPUBLICAN convention for 2d «r north Legislative district, is called to be held at Grand Meadow, October 9th, at one P- ML. CALLED TO PREACH.—We feql called upon to preach a few gospel facts—facts that are -worth knowing. We want ev erybody to enjoy all that is possible in this world. We want all those who are suffering from rheumatism, neuralgia, and all aches, sprains and ]ains to know that Thomas' Eclectric Oil is an unfailing and splendid cure.

How It is Propaged to Settle mill make Profitable Large Sections -jf Country t'nprcductiro The Men Wlio have Taken it In hand —The Money and the Kowerlul boino ratlon behind lie move ment. Every year witnesses an increase ir. the volume of emigration westward and thousands upon thousands of sturdy men and women have-gene on through a terri tory vastly superior to that in which they finally located, with no more care or ob servation en roule than if in balloons and sailing through clouds. Tlicy have go no on and on, ofter far beyond available markets, and ant. into «iM UmUvitu. no company other than their own fre quently home-sick selves. Others will follow, and the throng will not percepti bly lessen for years to come. Meantime not a few of those already settled are any thing but satisfied—the rigors of a severe climate, the frequence of terrific storms, long hauls to market, and other disadvan tages naturally creating desires to get back into a country where these things do not operate against general prosperity. At no time possibly have matters appear ed in more propitious shape for Eastern lines to enter into emigration measures than now. and, as usual, the Baltimore & Ohio takes the initiative. The corpora tion has among its principal stockhwlders and officials euergetic and far-seeing men who, realizing the importance of the sit uation, have associated themselves in the organization of an emigration company with other gentlemen of undoubted prom inence in business circles, whose success in great commercial undertakings stands as the strongest possible guarantee of the future of the new enterprise. It has al ready been incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland, and with a cap ital stock of one million dollars the "Bal timore & Ohio Emigration Company" will be in a grand position not only to advance its own interests but those of the railroad company and the states through which it runs. The Board of Directors is a strong one indeed, comprising Mr. John W. Garrett, Mr. Robert Garrett and Mr. Samuel Spencer, President, Vice-Presi dent and 2d Vice-President respectively of the B.& O. R. R. ex-U. S. Senator Heu ry G. Davis, of West Virginia, President W. Va. Central & Pittsburg R. R. T. Harrison Garrett, the well-known banker of Baltimore Mr. William F. Burns, President Eutaw Savings Bank of Balti more, and Hon. Ferdinand C. Latrobe, Mayor of Baltimore. The objects of the company are many and of the most prac tical character, to-wit To induce increased immigration to the South-West, particularly along the lines of the Baltimore & Ohio Company, and country tributary thereto to which end, ta acquire by purchase, or otherwise, the control of lands now substantially in the wilderness, and difficult of disposal at re munerative prices. To market, work, let, lease, settle, improve, cultivate, or other wise dispose of lands and hereditaments in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, or elsewhere in the United States, and gene rally to develop the resources of such lands by building, planting, clearing and otherwise dealing with the same. To stock such lands, and to breed, graze, fat ten and deal in cattle, horses, sheep and produce. To buy, or otherwise acquire and make, provide and carry on, use and work, railways, tramways, roads and oth er works which may be deemed expedient for the purposes of this Company, and to contribute to the cost of making, provid ing, carrying on and working the same. To receive and take money on deposit, at interest or otherwise, on the guarantee of the Company or otherwise, to raise money in such manner as the Company shall think fit, and in particular by the issue of bonds and debentures charged upon all or any of the Company's proper ty (both present and future), including its uncalled capital. To make, accept, en dorse and execute promissory notes, bills of exchange and other negotiable instru ments. To purchase, or otherwise acquire, and undertake, all or any part of the bus iness, property, tenure and liabilities of any person or company carrying on any business which this Company is authoriz ed to carry on, or possessed of property suitable for the purposes of this Company. To enter into partnership, or into any ar rangement for sharing profits, union of interests, or co-operation with any person or company carrying on, or about to car ry on, any business which this Company is authorized to carry on, or any business or transaction capable of being conduct ed so as, directly or indirectly, to benefit this Company, or to take,or otherwise ac quire, and hold, shares, stocks or deben tures in any such Company. To co-ope rate with any other company having ob jects wholly or in part similar to those of this Company. To sell, lease, mortgage or dispose of the undertaking of this Company, or any part thereof, for such consideration as this Company may think lit and, in particular, for shares, deben tures or securities of any other company having objects wholly or in part similar to those of this Company. To invest the capital of the Company for any of the purposes aforesaid, and in developing and improving, Or adding to the value of, the lands or other property from time to time acquired by the Company, and to make, maintain and use such works as the Com pany may think necessary or expedient for any of the purposes aforesaid. To ac quire by grant, purchase, or otherwise, concessions of any rights, property or privileges from any Government (State, Territorial, or Municipal), and to perform and fullfil the terms and conditions there of. To do all such other things as the Company may think incidental or condu cive to the attainment of any of the above objects or all of them, or to the conver sion or disposition of any security 01 property held by the Compaay. Representing, as this Company does, large ocean and land transportation in terests, and having by reason of their ex tensive European agencies, and corporate organizations, unequalled facilities for selecting, transporting and locating the very best class of immigrants from France, Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, etc., and such as from their pre vious habits education and pursuits would be best qualified for settlers in the states named, it is the desire to submit to the ow aers of lands contiguous to the Balti more & Ohio railroad system propositions looking to a land-pool which must aggre gate not less,than 60,000 acres, the inter est of each to depend upon the value of the acreage put in. In order that the in terests of the different parties may be equalized and determined, the lands pool ed shall be surveyed into tracts of twen ty-five acres or more, with reference to a proper distribution of water, timber and cultivatable lands, and shall be valued by a disinterested board of appraisers, con sisting of not less than three persons com petent in such matters, and entirely inde pendent of, and unconnected with, the interests involved, to be nominated by those joining in this plan, and the pooled interests of each land owner shall be bas ed upon this valuation. Certificates of this interest will be issued to the several owners in exchange for the lands, which will be placed in the hands of a Trust Company, or trustees mutually selected. So soon as the trustees are in possession of these lands, and can pass„title for any tract that may be sold, the Baltimore & Ohio Immigration Company will proceed, with the aid of the foreign emigration agencics associated with it ana the Balti more & Ohio Railroad Company, to se cure the most thrifty and desirable immi grants, and such as are best adapted to the peculiarities of climate and soil of the tracts to be settled, and transport and locate them upon such lands within a rea sonable period and -without expense to the land owners. In order to secure the best kind of immigrants, provisions will be made for furnishing houses, tools, cattle, etc., to the immigrants it settles on said lands, upon reasonable terms, so as to enable them to make a good start. This is a sketch of a plan which, it is believed, will readily recommend itself to favorable consideration. It needs no ar gument to show, if carried out, the great advantages which will result to aU con cerned, particularly to those who own large tracts of land now substantially in the wilderness and difficult of disposal at remunerative prices. Under the program "proposed such lands can be sold, populat ed and improved without trouble or ex pense to their owners other that the ap propriation of 25 per cent, of the net pro ceeds, which, it is believed, would be al most immediately more than covered by the enhanced value of such adjacent tracts as they might reserve for private disposition. The histoiy of settlements in the West and Northwest shows that where land companies with sufficient re sources have been properly managed, un der well ordered systems, the result almost invariably has been large profits and ben efits to all concerned, while the condi tions under which settlement must be made in the above named states are essen tially different from those encountered by colonization societies in the West, it is be lieved that the proposed plan can be start ed under such favorable auspices as will insure equally favorable results. on HARVEST FIELD. —A very destructive^ frost Sept. 8th last year. —Fillmore County Fair, 16 to 18, at Preston. —A.

The rain commenced falling, and Mrs. Thorn rais ed an umbrella which she was holding over herself and child and Mrs. Currier, who were occupying the middle seat. Suddenly a flash of lightning leaped from the passing cloud, instantly killing the horses, jumping over Mr. Thorn and Mr. Currier, striking the umbrella, tearing-it into shreds, then striking Mrs. Currier just above the left car, fracturing the skull, from which she bled very profuse Iy.

The other scheme is a system of water works such as no other city in the west will possess. The water is obtained by boring a hill 350 feet in heiglith that almost di vides the city. At a depth of 207 feet 46 feet of water was obtained which will be elevated by a wind mill to an immense reservoir, from which it will be distribut ed in pipes throughout the city. Owing to the elevation of the reservoir, water from the hydrants on the streets can be thrown higher than the tops of the highest church steeple.
