Ashbaugh, Webster City, writes: "Enclosed find $1 for the ADVANCE. We like it better and better. Could'lit do without it, any way." O. IX Brown, of Lu Verne, assisted by Allan M. Chaney, established the grade a few days ago on 9th and 10th Streets and on 2d, 3d and 4th Avenues. Quite a lot of turn-outs the other af ternoon. Four baby wagons and a heelbarrow, all in a row, trundled past our office. Soule has put a fence around his lots and planted his water melons. He will need a double-barreled shot gun and a bull-dog to take care of them. J. E. Bateman, of Hersey, left for Waterloo, Iowa, a few days ago. He is looking up sheep and we hope will be able to secure good ones and return with a large flock. H. D. Winters has had his' buggy painted a glossy black to match his horses. A. A.

We regret to hear of Mr. Discontinued ill-health. He will have to come to Minnesota yet to live. The Masonic Fraternity had a sup per on Thursday evening last at theJournal vVorthington Hotel, with t^ie usual good time and good eating, for Shell knows how to get up a good meal. There were a number present from Lu Verne. Farmers have great difficulty in find ing good seed corn. If any one, who has good corn to sell, will bring A load to Worthington. We can assure him a ready sale. A. M.Johnson, of Spirit Lake, advertised seed corn for sale a few weeks ago. ltev. C. O. Thatcher and family left on Thursday night last for the East. During the several years of Mr. T.'sOkubena residence among us as pastor of therecently Presbyterian Church he has made ma ny warm friends who will regret his departure. H. J. Barber, from Orange, Mass., has arrived with his family and settled on his claim about 8 miles north of A drian. He will build and improve his farm at once. Mr. B. informs us that there are probably a dozen families in the neighborhood of Orange who are waiting for the grasshopper raids to be over before coming. The newspaper war seems to have been transferred from Worthington to Sioux Falls. And they make it lively. PRAIRIE BURNING. Under the law passed lust winter .all prairie burning was prohibited prior to to the 15th inst. The time expired on Tuesday last. Hereafter, those who have permits from the County Superin tendent may burn ou their own places, but not without permits. The Super iutendent has authority to order a gen eral burning, or to order burning in special cases. We learn from Lieut. Plotts that applications have been made for only about fifteen permits, and that it is not his intention to order a gener al burning. We have heretofore expressed our views of this law. We believe that a general and simultaneous burning is impracticable and next to useless in de stroying grasshoppers. Up to date probably not a tenth part of the eggs have hatched. A FINE FARM. Bedford & Miller, on their farm west of the lake, have made probably the finest start of any farmers in the coun ty. In the way of trees, they set out last year 9,000 cottonwoods, 1,400 soft maples and 200 apple trees including crab apples. This Spring, they set out 26,000 cottonwoods and 530 crab apples. These trees are all in good condition and growing finely. On the west side of the place, they have a grove of a bout 11 acres in one body, and in thetwo northwest corner of the farm they have about 50 acres laid off and surrounded by forest trees, leaving about 16 acies in the centre for fruit trees. They de sign next year planting a strip along the south side of the place several rods wide, leaving the lake front toward town open. They have in this year a garden of four acres, from which they will supply the town with vegetables and are milk ing 13 cows from which they furnish milk for the town. The farm is under the management of our friend It. W. Miller, who is de monstrating that industry and good management can be made to pay even iu grasshopper times. THE GRASSHOPPER EXTENSION. Win. II. Berger, St. Paul, writes: My subscription having expiied, find enclosed $1 to renew it and to help con tinue the representative county paper. Will you oblige me by inquiring at the Land Office whethei I can take ad vantage of the law passed by the last Congress in regard to grasshopper suf ferers. I will state my case: I held my claim as a pre-empti since 1872. Last fall I changed it to a Soldier's Homestead, and am told that my fami ly will haye to reside on it and that I cannot take the benefit of that law. By answeiingin your next you will o blige. ining We have made inquiry at the Land Office and will state the result for thethem benefit of Mr. Bjrger, and others wish ing to take the benefit of the grasshop per extension: 1. Mr. Berger's claim be now a homestead he must reside on it after the first six mouths. 2. He can not take the benefit of the grasshopper extension unless his crops were destroy ed last year. 3. He cannot get an ex-would tension for another year unless his crops are destroyed this year. 4. In case his crops are destroyed and he wishes to renew an extension already taken, he can do so by affidavit and without ap pearing in person. FISHING. Fishing is very good now in our lakes. Pickeral weighing from 2i to 10 pounds are caught in large numbers. Harry Lackor, a seven-year old caught 90 fish on Monday last a lit tle over three hours. They were prin cipally cat-fish and were caught in the East Lake with hook and line. Harry had a pickeral which seemed to be a-or bout two feet long on his hook which broke the line a'xl got away. He andon his father together caught 180 fish in 3 hours. INDIAN LAKE ITEMS. Jas. McKerlie left on Monday morn ing for Iowa where we suppose he in tends to spend the Summer, perhaps in penitence for the many sins which he has committed in cursing the 'hoppers. The good wishes of his neighbors and friends go with him. John Haggard has his new house nearly enclosed. Seeding all done. Crops are looking splendid. Young hoppers are disappeaiing about as fast as they get to the top of the ground. Capt. Mills, the Bigelow cheese man, made our Tp. a call on Monday looking for cows for his factory. He pays $2.50 per month for the use of cows. B. D. C. The Journal is opposed to pa) ing the railroad bonds. Of course, there is room for an honest difference of opin ion, but we foretold this position of the from our knowledge of the pa per and its controls. It is always on the wrong side. It has espoused the cause of all the rowdyism and wrong doing of this community, and any one might know it would be on the bad side" of this question. It is controlled by men who repudiate their own pri vate debts and why shouldn't it favor the repudiation of a State debt? The Shoe Store ot E. G. Crandal was closed a few days ago, the stock having been attached. The circumstances we learn are these: Crandal endorsed for L. Hollis when the latter purchased the House Furniture. Crandal seized the furniture and sold Hollis out. But failing to apply the money toward paying the notes, the holders attached Crandal's stock. We suppose this is tit-for-tat. Worthington is beginning to be a re ligious place. Warm attachments (for goods) and continual preying (upon each other) seem to be the order of the day. Here's another good subscriber: Danl. Haffey, of Hersey, says, "En closed you will find $1.75 as I know the time is out on my subscription. Mrs. H. says she cannot be without tbe AD VANCE." *. ^iff *r J^JS=-^ ,^«jaf5&a"»a NOBLES COUNTY. D. M. Lusk, editor of the Winona Herald, writes thus to his paper about this county: I have made a careful examination of the lands of a portion of this county and find a rich soil adapted to both the growing 3f wheat, oats and coru and for cattle production it certainly could not be surpassed in the North-west. The entire county is a treeless prairie, well watered, and has many beautiful lakes of pure, clear water filled with fish. I is the paradise of the sportsman, thous ands of wild ducks and of every variety, abound iu the hikes and ponds. The praitie chicken and sand-hill crane are abundant ou the prairie, while the dis cordant note of the curlew and plover is constantly ringing in the ear of thethy traveler. I found many sightly places, where noble farms could readily be made and but for the infernal hopper would very soon be the homes of afflu ent farmers. But the hopper is the un solved problem that fills the minds of all with doubt and uncertainty, his ways are mysterious and past finding out. If providence has anything to do with this destructive pest, it is provi de'nce, and providence alone, that will settle this vexed question. Legisla tures may appoint commissioners, and scientists may investigate to the crack of doom, but all that human ingenuity can invent, or human wisdom devise, will effect nothing in the way of accom plishing his destruction. The host of the hopper is too mighty for the arm.of man. There are two newspapers published in this village, and ably conducted by gentlemen, to whom I feel myself under many obl'gations for their kind ness and attention. The Worthington Hotel is an institution not surpassed in the State for the accommodation of the traveling public, comfortable beds, airy, pleasant rooms, with a cuisine e qual if not superior to the hotels of our large cities. I also met an old friend of boyhood days whose cordial greeting brought back to memory the joyous days of childhood's careless, happy hours. A further description of the lands of Nobles county I reserve for another communication. THE KIND OF A SUBSCRIBER. WESTSIDE Nobles Co., Minn., A. P. MILLER: DEAR SIR: I write to inform you that iny subscription to your paper expires on the 1st of May, and for want of means I am unable to renew it. But if you see fit to contin ue it, I will remit you as soon as I can raise the means for it seems as though I could not do without it. Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain, Yours respectfully, WILLIAM TRAVIS. Should think we would continue it. A subsciiber who is as conscientious about it as Mr. Travis, who takes the tiouble to write or tell us fiankly the circumstances, is entitled to an exten sion until the grasshoppers leave, or he gets a ciop. A number of gentlemen, from Lu Verne, came up tc the capital on the train last Thursday afternoon. Among we acknowledge calls from our friend D. Stone, of the firm of Bennett & Stone Mr. Herron, lumber dealer Attorney E. D. Hadley, and Station A gent Norton. They looked around the city, took a view of the new Court House, "hashed" at the Worthington, and no doubt wondered when Lu Verne be a city of like propoitions. Hope they will drop over often. Some feeble grandmother.—Journal. This base attack upon our grand mother, who died a good many years ago, has given us a fit of "refinement," and if we had any rowdies at our com mand we should be tempted to send them out on a bull-dozing expedition, as the Journal does. While we are a bout it we may as well construe this in to an attack upon our future wife. Al so our wife's aunt and her sister-in l..w. This base attack on our lelatives, past, piesent and future, stiis our "re finement" to its "profoundest depths," words to that effect. Why don't the ADVANCE speak out the bond question?—Journal. lteally, we have been so crowded with new advertisements, that we haven't had room for all the local matter. Now, if you could throw out a few of your dead advertisements and relieve us of a few of our live ones, we could find room for more matter on the bond question. Besides, we don't believe in opening our guns till we are ready for the fiay. Mrs. llumiston did not respond to my note to her, and has never disclaim ed the authorship of the offensive com munication.—Mrs. Lucia Chase Bell iu last week's Journal. That's just the way it was with Gen eral Scott in the matter of that ''per sonal difficulty" which the Ohio man had with him. The General did not re ply, if he ever received any note, and did not deny the fact of a "personal difficulty." Geo. W. Holme and Lon Laythe are about to join the expedition to the Yel lowstone. They will go to Post No. 1 at the mouth of the Tongue river where the Government will build a fort the coming Summer. Mr. Rohne left on Monday night for Minneapolis and Mr. Laythe will go as soon as the party is ready to staitfrom St. Paul, which will be some time next week. Good luck and hope they will write us an account of their journey. Jno. N. Darms and Siebald, of Stillwater, Minn., visited their claims a few days ago in the northwestern portion of this county. They have fine locations between the Champepedan and the Chamarambie, two creeks emptying into Rock river. These names are enough to stimulate vegeta tion and cattle drinking out of these classical streams ought to "wax fat and kick." *lq Lorain township, as will be seen by Notice to Contractors published else where, proposes to build abridge for herself. This plucky town has set the other towns a good example in the way of road woik. Some time ago, those interested in the Ocheeda road turned out and made a road-working bee by which they repaired the breeches in that road. A supply of Legal Note, Foolscap and Letter paper iust received at the Worthington Book Store. Abusing women and maligning little children.—Journal. Be ^keerful," or' we will get out lit tle Mat. Hyland and his toy-pistol and give the Journal another ,~chance to l^ade anattack upon him. The Journal talks about "abusing women." The last two issues of that paper devoted from two to three columns to attacks upon Mrs. R. F. Humiston for questions asked by members of the Lit tle Forester Committee with which she had nothing to do. Let him find some one still more wor of his steel—some feeble grandmoth er who is blind and halt.—Journal. Believe we will address ourself hereaf ter more especially to grandmother Gruelle. A certain little lawyer,' a short time since, was industriously circulating the report that he had an order from Judge Dickinson for the arrest and imprison ment of a certain prominent gentleman in this community. When Prof. Hum iston was at Mar.kato last week, he asked if the above statement was true, and the Judge replied that the state ment was false. NOTICE. Town Clerks will please call at the Auditor's Oftice and get the necessary blanks for the Special Election on Rail road Bonds. W. M. BEAR, May 14,1877, County Auditor. SPECIAL NOTICE.
