Is promised the citizens of Worth

^*ISjbeiug agitated, in Mairray county.
Tlio toad talked of is a north and south
road to connect the Winona & St. Pe
ter with Wjflrtliington by buijdin'g a
road from a point near' the ^qutlieast'
corner of Lyon county, where the\Vi»
nona & St. Peter enteis, across Murray,
county to this place. A glance at the
map will show that this point is almost
due noi th of Worthington and not more
than seven townships, or about
This is a capital project, and whether
built by the Winona & St. Peter or the
Southern Minnesota, would meet with
eveiy encouiagement. It would give
us another eastei outlet and would
be, of all roads, the veiy one for Mur
ray as it would touch all the points of
present impoitance in that county.
We wish 0111 Munay county friends
eveiy success in pushing this enter
prise.
MILLER HALL.—By announcement
published elsewhere it will be seen that
the hall has been "undedicated" and
will herealter be a public hall merely
and not a chuich. The ADVANCIS two
years ago took the gtound that it was
not 1 iglit to deprive the village of the
hall by dedicating it to religious usesor
ly. The hall was built in older to give
us a public hall and no building in the
place has been so generally useful, or
lias conduced so much to the enjoyment,
and the public good as this hall. We
aie glnd to see that our Methodist
biethien have come to take a sensible
and piactical view of the matter and
that heieafter we are to have the hall
tinown open to any legitimate amuse
ment or use. While it may seem in
consistent to open a church to travel
ing tioups for amusements, it is not
inconsistent for a chuich society to'
woi ship in a public hall built for and
devoted to othei put poses.
Now let the Methodist Society, which
controls thepiopeity, repair the »oof
and the ceiling and give us a hall that
at least is oulinaiily ?afe. Audiences
now sit in niomentaiy expectation that
a quarter sectioa of plastei ing will drop
on their heads. AVe learn from Pi of.
Rice that dining his exhibition on Sat
uiday night last the rain pouied down
upon the stage to such an extent that
his "moial wax figures," as Artunus
Waul called'lus, weie damaged to the
amount ot &50. The lessees would
doubtless have been held lespotisible
for this, if the Prof, had cated to de
mand it.
MIND READING.—Elsewhere appeals
an announcement from Prof. Rice that
he will give an enteitainment on Mon
day evening next in Mind Reading and
kindied subjects. He does this bj spec
ial request and proposes to treat the
subject tail ly and with a view to arriv
ing at the ti nth. We bespeak for him
a candid heat ing. The gi eat science of
Psjchologj, the greatest of all sciences,
is in its infancy and it is amazing with
what intoleiance it is tieated even by
those who have become free enough to
believe in and encouiage a full investi
gation and study of physical science.
is the one paramount sci
ence, of which Mesmerism, Mind Read
ing, Claiivoyance, Spiiitism, etc..
aie but so many blanches. Mesmei ism
was as much despised and opposed
lien the stjdy of it began, as Spiritu
alism is now. When Spiritualism came
in as a positive, aggies-ive force, then
the opposcrs fell back upon Mesmerism
and adapted it to explain the phenom
ena of the new phase. Men are one
sided and narrow until fully developed,
and if the 01 Id could see that all these
wondeiful powers are but phases of one
great science and give themselves to
the study of it as they do to physical
science, it would advance moie in twen
ty ycaisthan it has done in the last
two centuiies.
AMUSEMENTS.—Along with the msh
of land seekeis and settlers, Worthing
ton is experiencing a rush of amuse
ments. Fiof. Rice gaye two exhibi
tions at Miller Hall last wtek in
mind leading, ventiiloquism, etc., and
will give another enteitainment on
Monday evening next, by special re
quest, in mind reading and kindred
subjects. The Billy Maible ti oup gave
thice plays this week, "Rip Van Win
kle" "The Gilded Age" and "Divorce,"
to crowded houses, and we only express
the general view when we say that this
is an unusually meritorious troup of
traveling actois and altogether the
best which has ever visited our fron
tiei town. The Swiss Bell Ringers ex
pected to petform here but Weie not a
ble to procure the hall.
CHANGE OF TIME.—A change of time
on the main li»ie of the Sioux Ciiy &
St. Paul road went into effect on Mon
day last. The train from St. Paul now
at rives here at 11:23 at night, and the
train from Sioux City at 5:20 in the
morning. This gives us two anivals
and depaituies a day coming near to
gether. Two trains leave for St. Paul
in the morning, one at 5:20 and the
other at 5:30. Two arrive from St.
Paul in the evening, one at 8:20 and
thp other at 11:23. The Freight or Ac
commodation leaves as heretofore.
This auangement will spoil connec
tions for Chicago at Mankato. The
express will now arrive at Mankato at
9:30 a. hi. and the first train east over
the Winona & St. Peter after that
leaves at 035 p. ra.
COUNCIL.—At the last meeting voted
tofixthe poll tax at 3 days work, and
to levy a property tsix for road purpos
es of 23c on $100. Also decided to im
prove the approaches to town, as fol
lows the south road about the lake
shore the Hersey road the' northwest
road and the east road leading to the
Cemetery.* The Street Commissioner
was instructed to proceed at once to
the repair of the above approaches.
