A car load of No. 1 Fife wheat was recently shipped from Luveruo to Win. 1*. Evans, of Pennsylvania. When the wheat arrived it was No. 2 and badly sprouted. W understand that the matter is being traced up. Minnesota wheat isjsuch pure gold that all sorts of legerdemain is resorted to to counter feit or adulterate it. Again, the vindictiveness with which loth these papers have followed us since we have assunn ntrol of the Union is something more than a more uewsr-ai ('i'qiiariei,aiid will lie more lully uiulei stood when their readeis are made a ware of the fact thai neither of them condescend to exchange even tho com mon courtesies of it'e on the street, or recognize us anywhere—all because we purchased the Union, and are tiying to make an honest living for oursclt' And family.—Mankato Union.

The Jackson Republic repot is a inn-t ing held at that place "called for the purpose of hearing a proposition of the Ollicers of the Southern Minnesota Ex tension O a to build said road to Jacksi Mr. Easton, President of the road, stated that the company would build to Jackson on condition of re ceiving a bonus of 10 per cent, of valu ation of property. The sense of the meeting was taken and was that the "town vote the 101 or cent, on condition that the road be built to Jackson and in running order this season." We have maintained all along that the road would com? to AVorlhin^ ton but that wo would have to vote a bonus to get it. A good many of our friends thought that bonus would not be asked. If bonus is asked of Jack son, when that point is concede dad one of the points which tho road must make, we certainly cannot expect the road to come to Worthington without asking bonus, especially when the northern route affords such a conven ient club to hold over our heads. No sir, gentlemen, you will find the A A N E was right in maintaining all a long that Worthington will have to pay a bonus to get the Southern Min nesota. And we believe the bonus will be voted, for we cannot aifoid to lose the road. 77/A' liOL'TOlt'ti I'LOT. The following we clip from an ex change: 'Senator Raines has introduced a bill to amen the act of 1S74 regulating the Iiracticed of medicine and surgerv in hl« State, (N Y.) It provides that no person shall advertise or hold himself or herself out in any manner by. public notice, or by putting up a sign, or by Issuing any circular or handbill or or newspepcr notice, or otherwise as a physician, surgeon, doctor or medical or surgical adviser or practitioneer of medicine or surgery, or any of its branches, or to treat the sick by any means whatever, unless authorized to practice as required by the act. An every person violating or offending any provision of this section shall he guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall he punish .e*d for each offence in the same man ner as is provided in the case of a mis demeanor under the third section of the act.' The object of this is to prevent any one from advertising to heal tho sick unless he or she has a diploma from a medical college. Under the present law they are already excluded from practicing. If the Saviour should ap pear suddenly in N iw York City and heal the sick as he did in Jerusalem, he would be arrested and lined under the law. fllETKEKttlLLVASSED.^.: acres ii it tb 29,4GG.37 acres Th LeMar Sentinel contains an ac count of the disappearance of Rev.

Partially suriouuding and skirting the town on the south are two lakes styled tne West and Hist Okabcnas. '1 he for mer is six inili in circumference and ilit* latter thiee.

A NOULKS O I STOCK I A1IM. Six miles northwest of town, A 13. Grissell, an nlerin ising young Kig lishman, has started a stock 1'aim. has purchased several hundred acres of land in a body, upon which there is an abundance of water, meadow and line native grasses, lie has already xpeml ed in laud and stock, about £10.000. There are now or. the place .something over one thousand sheep, work animals and other stock. Th improvements are a co-.ey dwelling house, gotl sta bles, three hundri feet of shedding, pioperly arranged for sheep, corrals ami other appurtenances, with sixty or sev enty acres under cultivation* Th sheep were wintered exclusively on the prairie hay cue on thefaim, except in a few cases of the more aged and feeble one«. The entire Hock is looking le markably well and appears healthy in eveiy respect. This part of the State is highly recommended for sheep, and there are several line Hocks in the coun ty alieady. hi addition, Mr. (Jrissell is the owner of two veiy lino stallions, imported from England last June. They belong to the draft stock family and are [(-presented to be among the bsst of their .class in the woild. "John Hull" is a glossy coal black fcl'ow, four years old this spi ing, stand 10 hands 3 inches, and weighs a little more than 1,(500 pounds, lie is a short coupled horse, immense hone, veiy active, and shows a rtinaikable constitution, with spirit and niaivelous power.

"England's Glory" was bred at St. Tves lluntingtonshin*. Polh horses will be at the Minnesota Fair in September. They are kept Wor thington, where Mr. Giissell IH re sides. OTHER FAKMS—STOCK AND GRAIN. Two and a half miles northwest of town is the farm of Alley. This place embraces an area of three hun dred and twenty acres, and there are two farms besides, making in the ag gregate over one thousand acres. Mr Alley keeps one hundred and foi ty head of horned stock, nearly four hundred sheep, and a goodly number of work animals. He cultivates about one luin dreel acres, and raises ft large quantity of peas which he feeds to his sheep. They are veiy fond of that .singular ar ticle of diet and eat them with avidity, vines and all. The strong young sheep do well in winter on nrawie hay alone, if they are properly she tercel and kjpt in a place. Mr. Alley says sheep toelo well must have dry backs. I An attempt was made in both Iowa they go with wet backs they soon curl and Minnesota last winter to enact similar laws, but it failed in this State and we believe in Iowa also. Now, if the orthodox ministers would secure the passage of laws in each State prohibiting any one from preaching anything but strict ortho doxy, everything would be as lovely as bigotry could desire. J. M. Plumer, of Geneva, N Y. has our thanks for a copy of the Geneva Courier into which is copied the A A N E article replying to the Cleve land Herald, which professed not to be lieve that there was a. mighty rush of land hunters into Minnesota. W stand ready to prove it against all the newspapers in the east. Chamberlin, of the Jackson Eepub lib, calls ns an "old bachelor." This rem lads us of the way the darkies down south used to do.

They have a pretty section of land in a body with dwelling house, barn, stables, sheds, yards, and other out buildings. There are one hundred acres in crop, sixty-five in wheat, thirty in oats and tue remain der is devoted-to peas, beans and root crops. On the farm the gentlemen have sixty head of good grade cattle, a number erf choice Poland China and Berkshire, swine, and a noble short horn bull, Cumberland Chief. was bred by Warren Percival, Vassalboro, Maine, calved February 13th, 1874 got by Mountain Belle's son of Carlile, (8008) dam, Jenny 3d, by General Smith (5711.)

Cumberland Chief is a very fine animal, ami a valuable ac quisition to the stock interest of this new section of the State. •Within a mile of town the Murphy Bros, .'ire improving a pretty farm.

These lauds can be purchased at from $5 to $7 per acre on long time, at a low rate of interest, or from 20 to 40 per cent, off for cash down. I affords the pur chaser of limited means a fair opportu nity to get a farm and a home, while the capitalist can sweep a wider circle with his money, secure more land and farm on a broader scale The ceninty's school lauds are to be sold next week Wednesday, embraceing over twenty live thousand acres.

It is not infrequent to see from twenty to thirty emigrant wagons in aline passing along the country, to settle in this or some of the adjoining counties, or it limy be, going across the border inV Dakota. Business is quite brisk in town and the hotels are reaping a harvest of dollars that should enable some of the landlords to do a little bet ter by their guests. I is to be regret ted that in all these towns the hotel ac commodations arc insufficient, not-inly in capacity but otherwise. Good hotels are the best advertisements a place can have. N town will create a favorable impression among strangers without it has at least one hotel. Minneapolis and St. Paul have their good hotels Red AVing enjoys a first class hotel, Rochester is blessed with the Cook House, and Winona has her quota, but if there are others in Southern Minne sota worthy of note the writer is net a ware of it.—C.
