lo-g. Many friends here
will look anxiously to see them return

Mr. John Blodgett returned to Mich
igan during the past week. He was
a strong friend of the Colony and re
gretted to leave, but his children being
established in Michigan wished to have
htm there. He is one of the purest
and most devoted Christian men weCity
have known and the church with which
he was connected will .specially regret
his departure.
HOME FOR INVALIDS.
Dr. H. Wilson, at present a resident
of Rock county, and who has practiced
medicine in this State for some years,
was in Wortliington a few days ago,
looking with reference to establishing
a home for invalids. He has Wortli
ington, Graham Lakes, and Denver in
view as favorable points at which to
establish such an institution, but he
inclines more strongly toward some
point in the National Colony than to
ward any point outside. His plan is
an excellent and original one, and con
templates the establishment, not mere
ly of a cure for invalids upon a partic
ular system, but a home for invalids at
which each can have treatment under
the system desired. At the same time
the institution will be a home for pleas
ure or, rather, for rest-seekers, and the
design will be to give them the com
forts of a home at reasonable rates.
The establishment of a hotel and wa
ter-cure within the limits of the Na
tional Colony is an enterprise which
we have frequently urged, and which
we are confident will be eminently suc
cessful. The Minnesota air is already
Known the world over as curative in it
self, and an institution located here, in
a mountain climate, would attract in
valids from all parts of the country.
It was estimated that from ten to
twenty thousand persons visited the
State last Summer in search of health
and rest, and the number ot this class
of visitors must increase annually. Ex
penses at St. Paul, Minneapolis, White
Bear, and other noted points are so
great that there is a constant de
mand for more retired quarters at less
rates. The object of Dr. Wilson will
be to furnish a home for that class of
persons who desire a quiet resort, with
good fishing, boating, bird shooting,
etc. We shall watch the development
of this enterprise with interest, and we
predict for it qr.ite a success.
AN ADVENTURE.
NOT FROM THE DANBUKY NEWS.
Yesterday our young friend Charley
Humistou rode into the West Lake to
give his horse a few gallons of water.
The horse had not been definitely in
formed as to the object of riding him
into the lake, and, it seems, he took
it into his head that his rider had
brought him there to give him a bath.
Now, if ther? is anything which that
horse relishes i\ext to his oats, it is a
bath, and he was therefore so pleased
at the kindness of his rider and so tick
led at the prosjieet of the bath, that he
snorted rightout, laughing aloud horse
laugh through his nose, and began to
paw and paddle about in the water.—
Young Ilnmiston, perceiving the
rse's mistake, set up a protest in
horse language, saying woe get
up take care no»v and words to
that effect, with a vigor worthy of a
better cause. But the horse either mis
uudeistood the language or had gone
too far to withdraw, and so, with an
other laugh, he stopped any further re
mark by plunging his rider under the
water, and then taking a roll Jiiniself.
This operation seems to have resulted
in some feeling between the two, for
they came out at different points on the
shore, and both made a bee line for
home to change their clothes, the horse
bending down his head and shaking all
over with laughter.
LOOKOUT FOR FIRE.
We desire again to call the attention
of the public to the hay, straw and sta
ble manure which litters the lots of
•Vorthington. A sii gle spark on a
windy day might burn the town. A
few days ago we saw a man knock the
tire from his pipe within six feet of the
Wortliington Hotel stable. He had the
presence of mind to pause and set his
foot on it, or a puff of wind might have
I carried it into the hay and tired the
bailding. Buildings are nearly as
dry as tinder, and where is our water
supply to stop a fire
WATER WORKS.
A movement is on foot to secure a
supply of wat for the town which
promises to be successful because en
tirely practicable and inexpensive.—
The plan at present proposed is to con
nect a reservoir, to be constructed near
the centre of the town, with the rail
road water-tank. This will supply one
of our greatest needs. While we are
strictly a temperance town, we cannot
be called a cold water town, judging
from our present water supply.
THE THROUGH TRAIN AGAIN.
The Sioux City Journal says that
through trains from St. Paul to Kan
sas City, via. the St. Paul and Sioux
City, the Sioux City and St. Paul, the
Sioux City and Pacific, the Chicago and
Northwestern, and the Kansas City,
St. Joe and Council Bluffs Railways,
will be put on the line on the 26th of the
present month, to-morrow. The trains
going south will arrive at Council
Bluffs in time to connect with the
day mail for Chicago. Persons can thus
leave Wortliington at five in the after
noon and arrive at Council Bluffs the
next morning.
This a-rangement places Wortliing
ton on a great north and south route
connecting the two most important
cities on the Mississippi. It will not be
long until we shall be on a through
route also from Lake Superior to the
Pacific, aud trains will daily go thun
dering by to St. Louis and San Fran
cisco.
The running time on our road on
and after Monday next will be as fol
lows: No. 1 Passenger will leave St.
Paul at 8 a. m., and arrive at Woithing
ton at 5 p. m. No. 2 Passenger leave
Sioux City at 5 30 a. m., and arrive at
Wortliington at 9 42 a. m. Accommo
dation leave St. James at 4 a. m., ar
rive at Wortliington at 9 42 a. m. Ac
commodation going east leave Sioux
at 5 45 a. m., arrive at Wortliing
ton 2 45 p. m. This brings the morn
ing passenger to- Wortliington several
hour* earlier.
ALMOST A FIRRJ
The residence of Mr. E. H. Baldwin,
five miles west of town caught fire on
Friday last about noon.. Mr. & Mrs. B.
were absent at the tinie. Bfr. Henry
Baldwin discovered (ire falling through
the roof, and soon extinguished it
with a few pails of water. We learn
that the roof caught from the burning
out of a "Minnesota chimney." Every
thing is dry now and in good condition
to burn, and it behooves people to be on
the watch for tire.
\'Tctf\ t»r\i^\ t\*
Our friend of the Jackson ftepublk. is
very much exercised for fear we shall
not be able to accommodate all who ap
ply for town lots. Now, although our
town has been laid out but two years
and a half, we have sold more lots than
Jackson has sold in ten years, and when
more room was demanded we made an
addition to our town which is larger
than the original town plat, and then
the Colony Company purchased from
two Jackson admirers of Wortl-.ington
one hundred and sixty acres adjoining
the village, which they are now urged
fo cut up into town lots. Ani there is than in Wortliington. Theieare many

What is the matter with our friend
of the Republic? Is it because every-
body is leaving Jackson and coming to
Wortliington? Is it because the editor
will now have to come to Woithington
to prove up on his claim? Here we
have labored several years to build up
one of the most healthful climates in
the world, which cures consumption,
I asthma, liver complaint and even other
diseases with a neatness and dispatch
unequalled by any other climate here
we have develojied a soil which for
richness and depth is unrivalled and
which has given this part of Minnesota
the name of the Cream of the Prairies
and the Garden of the State. Here we
have imported a community which for
intelligence and character is admitted
to be much in advance of frontier com
munities generally. Here we have
raised a crop of moral influences such
as churches, schools, etc., keeping out
the weeds and potato bugs of the liquor
traffic, which are the admiration of all
good men,—here we, the National Colo
nists, have done all this, and yet the

COLONY DEPARTMENT.
Answers to Colony Correspondents.
J.. McC, of Niagara county, New
York, writes to the proprietors of the
National Colony, and asks, among oth
ers, the following questions: 1. Do
sheep do well in that climate, and are
they not liable to lie killed by wild ani
mals? 2. Is the Sabbath day observed in
a proper manner 3. How does soci
ety and sociability compare with older
communities?
ANSWER. Sheep do well in Minne
sota. The dry and cold winters are
favorable to the health of sheep and to
the production of line and heavy fleeces.
The finest fur-bearing animals are in
Northern latitudes, and the same caus
es which produce fine fur must aho, to
more or less extent, produce fine wool.
