NEW ULM ANp yiCIjriTff. Wednesday, January ,1st, 4879. The Review wishes everybody a happy and prosperous New Year. The Board of County Commissioners will meet he,xt Tuesctay. For several days to come, men will persist in dating their communications 1878. Tearing down shanties and demolish ing stoves, etc., is a dear passtime, as several young men in the town of Cot tonwood have found out to their cost. The Christmas trees, at the Luther an church and at Turner Hall and the hop at Arbeiter Hall, last Thursday evening, were entirely successful and drew crowded" houses. MARRIEDIn Sleepy Eye, Dec. 25th, 1878, by Rev. O. P. Champlin, Hans Roy and Martha Mckinzie, both of Brown county. No one of our readers should fail to read the "New Year's Greeting." pre pared by R. P. A. Nix, which is print ed on our calendars. A heavy Eastern mail, delayed for three days by snow storms, arrived here last Monday evening. Minnesota so far this season has not been troubled that way. We learn from the Renville Times that wolves are very numerous in the town of Brich Cooley,' Renville Co., and a few days ago killed forty head of sheep. We would again call attention to the patent stove damper for which 0. Hanf is the agent. #e has placed them on a number of stoves in this city and all are highly pleased with them. They save wood and the fire can be legulated at will. Our merchants ar# moving in a good cause. An agreement to close all stores on Sundays' after this date was circulated last Monday and signed by nearly everyone of them. A simi lar effort was made last summer but tell throujrh for the want of co-opera tion, 'but this time it looks like busi ness. TERRIBLEA Scandinavien gentle man wiites ulsbecausLinden: paper."1 from "Stop Al we said Brandy was defeated by the Scandinavien and Oieenbackers. Some people do hate to have the trnth told about them. The annual ejection of the officers of the Governor's Guard will be held at their armory next Tuesday evening. It is hoped" that every inember of the company will'be i# attendance. We glean from the Redwood Gazette that Harry Sijoftmoas, recently ot Fort Ridgely, has formed a partnership with Peter Ortt, of that place, for the pur pose of carrying a general agricul tural and implement bust$egs \u J&ed wood Falls. In Harry Simmons, Red wood Falls will gain a valuable bus iness acquisition. Redwood Gazette:0wing to the burning of the engine house, the regu lar train will hot rUn this side of Sleepy Eye. In its place a tfain will run trom Sleepy Eye to Redwood Falls arriving here at 11:30 a. nil and depart ing at 1:20 p.m. We presume that ^his will be the arrarigemeiit until the engine house shall be rebuilt. In the town of Eden dry goods boxes are held at a high figure. A party was recently arrested tor wrongfully ap propriating one of them,and settled the little matter by paying the rightful owner $50 and it was a might} poor box at ~that, as one of the constables bioke through it while using it for a seat on his way to the justices office. The incoming of the New Year was heralded last night by tlie firing of guns and pistols and ringing of bells. Neaily everybody was in attendance upon the festivities at either Arbeiter or Turner Halls, and congratulations and a gereraj hand-shaking followed the announcement that ihe year of 1879 had dawned. Upken vows were re newed only to be again broken, and many promises wtfr-e made to leave off drinking, smdking, etc., Vvhich will not be kept until tdSB&hjb. A t. v. tir. At the meeting of Progress Lodge No. 28, A. 0. U. W., last Friday even ing, the following officers weie elected ior the ensuing six months, and will Y)e installed to-morrow evening: Chas. Wagner, M.

Eckstein, of thepadegogu fraternity, improved the holiday vaca tion by visiting St. Peter, Le Sueur and other points along the Minnesota valley. Hon. C. C. Brandt departed Mon day morning on a business trip to St Paul and Minneapolis. The many patrons of M. Mullen'L store will be gratified to leam that he iiasj again secured 'the services of James McKittrick, far some time of Granite Falls. He arrived in town last Sunday, and his pleasant' count? fiance will soon bee seen pe/erfra xJVer ^is former desk. Welcome.

ExjPosj.yiON of 1876. Wandering through the United States section of this wotUJerful Exhibition, hyperor nainenied nd over-displayed as the most of it is, 1 came upon an elegant glass case, whose modesty was the moie conspicuous from its neighbors' finery, surmounted by the motto Dig nis Pr&mia and displaying, in neat packages, the medical preparations of the house of DB. J. C. AYER & Co., Lowel, Mass. I was aware of the world-wide repu tation of this eminent firm, for the chaiacter and quality of their goods and remember well their agents in London, Messrs. NEJVSBERRY, in St. Paul's Churchyard. Having a leisure hour, I determine^ to examine the contents of this case, myself, and was surprised to see the delicate per fection to which tliey h^ve brought their household remedies. I was cha grined at the reflection that, while we have at home the most skilful and, pre-eminently, the best physicians in the world, these Yankee doctors dis tance us so far in the line of popular medicines for family use. They have the sharpness to take, advantage of the high scientific discoveries among us and make pills and potions as palatable as they are salutary. I was told by a leading druggist in Philadelphia, that DR. ATER'S manufactory wag the largest in America, givipg employ ment to hundreds, must go to Low ell and see it, 0$ my way home.

Christmas came as per contract on the 25th inst. and was pleasantly en joyed. Goodness gracious! Here's some thing bran new. Wheat ftas not fallen this week. Rev. 0. P. Champlin was the recipi ent of a handsome easy chair on Christ mas eve. The new hotel (we wonder when it will be christened) is doing a land of fice business. The livery of Messrs. Davis & Dodge seems to be in almost constant requisi. tion these days, and the boys are happr Fritz Koehne is once more with us, having returned from Chicago last week. We have a full fledged singing school under the direction of Prof. Carpenter and it is in a flourishing condition. Knapp& Rieley, of the RevereHouse, are raking in the ducats faster than a "Faro Bank." The ups and downs of life: "Up in a balloon boys," and "Down in a coal mine." There was a man here last week who vowed by the "Bones of Faust," that there should be a newspaper establish ed here right away, quick. Well, let him establish. We can stand it if he can. Mine host of the Minnesota House has entirely recovered from the shock caused by his defeat at the late elec tion, and now beams smilingly on all patrons of his place. Better luck next time, Charlie. To-day there is not even a "Hoss trade" to enliven the quiet of our usu ally lively little burg, and I haven't seen a man any the worse for benzine in quite a while. There was no party, hop, sociable or anything of the kind here on Christ mas eve or night, and I do not think that there is enterprise enough among our youngsters to get up anything of the sort for New Year. The good people of the German Evangelical church of this place have been having quite an extended series of meetings, commencing on Thanks giving day and will end on or about New Year. What we want, and want bad, is more snow. We don't want 3 or 4 feet and a blizzard, but we do want a good fall to make sleighing. The voung folks are actually spoiling for a sleigh ride. Mr. Christiansen informs us that he intends to make this his head-quarters in the near future, in the agricultural implement business. Thus our town is rapidly filling up with solid and re liable business men Messrs. Talbot & Eaton were also presented with splendid buggy whips. See to it, gentlemen, that you do not use them on your better halves. Mankato has met with* a loss in the person of Mr. Sam'l Randal, who has located here, in the clothing bus iness. His long experience, and his keeu foresight as a general business man, led him to establish here as a probable place of increasing his world ly treasures. May success attend him. Cy was out riding yesterday and his horse not acting to suit him, Cy hit him with a whip. The horse returned the compliment by launching out his heels at Cy's head. He missed Cy, but not so the dash-board of the buggy, as the said dash board which is now in Zieske'sshop for repairs bears ample evidence. Hit me again, will you! Some one who knew Joe. Traut mann's peculiar failing, presented him with a half lb. of Tom & Jerry smok ing tobacco, a clay pipe and a handful of matches. They found their way to the Christmas tree at the school house on Christmas eve. At the same time and place Mr. Tom Talbot received a handsome silver watch. We saw a man yesterday who was trying to choke do^irn a big swear, and all because the Review stated that the early morning train was due to leaye here at 5:25 ob|ock when in realitv it leaves at 5:15. T&e consequence was he got left, not Qnthe swear, however, for he finally gpt |hat out, but by the train. One of our young r^umrhers got into a dispute ^itti Mr. Franz, the popular landlord of the Hawkeye Saloon, and forthwith sraf^qtyr.a revolver where- *Y *-1 4 H-V' 1?* with to.enact a bloody deed. He went to Frits Koahne's to make the loan, and his father being present he got it not the revolverbut a pair of soundly boxed ears, with which piece of parental discipline he slunk out of Fritz's, looking rather sheepish. Andyour barberstill lives, and is anxious to practice the tonsorial art on the healthy phiz of ye editor of ye Re view. And don't you forget it. Come up, and be shaved at the expense of "Cftips." Our friend Schneider met ns the other day, and this is the way he put it: "Ships, was you denks mit das shpot pisniss auf do de sun? Ah'a pig hoom bug, No?" We told him that we thought that the presence or absence of spots on the sun had considerably to do with the temperature. I dinks," quoth Schneider ,%do"Den some potty vash glimb up and put a awful pig shpot on de sun ladely, aind it?" We hear of a wedding having taken place less than a thousand miles from here, which did not end as harmonious lyas such affair* ought. In fact imne* diately after the ceremony "Pater Fa milias"loaded in the bride, groom and some kegs of beer, and gently intimat ed that they were at liberty to mizzle in any direction which they saw fit. for under no circumstances would he allow them to harbor upon his prem ises. The whole unpleasantness origi nating from a misunderstanding be tween the bride-groom elect and the aforesaid Pater. Iberia Items. (By onrSpecial Correspondent Clason Mr. Wm. Ortwine got pretty badly hurt by falling on the ice. James Gillfillen, the eminent lectur er and Greenback labor advocate, is teaching the Iberia school this winter, and giving general satisfaction. If any of your readers should go to the bottom of the cellar in one step.and get badly stunned by stopping too sud denly at the bottom, Andrew Gillman knows how to sympathize with them. Don't you forget it. They have a lyceum once a week and several good debaters air their elo quence on such occasions. The sub ject for debate last week was: Resolv ed, "that the enlightenment of the Nineteenth Century has amoral ten dency," but the judges decided to the contrary. The people here wish there were more grist-mills in Nicollet and Ren ville counties, so we could get a grist here ourselveswithout being crowd ed out by people from other counties. Our miller says the tops of his ears are worn off, from carrying sacks. Charley Vinnup's Christmas gift, was a ten pound girlDr. Humphrey, witness. Whose turn comes next* The Dr. has turned Paptist and was ira merced in the Cottonwood last Mon day night. It's not positively known whether he shouted "hallelujah" or not, as there were no witnesses pres ent. Santa Clans has come and gone again. The little or.es think the hard times has affected him too, as he has been rather parsimonious in the distribution of his gifts this year, giving only a few cheap and insignificant presents or he is getting aristocratic in his no tions and reserved his most valuable gifts for the children of the rich and favored ones. Iberia is not the worst place after all.Emett Sherman, who left this neighborhood a year and a half ago to get away from the grasshoppers,first went to Southern Illinois, but finding the ague a more implacable enemy than the locust, he moved from there to Texas,but not finding things there to suit his fancy he headed his team towards Iberia and arrived here safe after a march of fifty days. Making in all a trip of about 3000 miles by wagon this summer, rivaling the celebrated march of his great namesake, General Sherman. Burnitown Item*. Dr. Wellcwne and ladies, of Sleepy Eye, made UB a pleasant call last week. The Burnstown correspondent of the Review wishes everybody a "Happy New Year." John Gamble's Christmas ball, given in Sest & Altermatt's building, passed off very pleasantly and was participat ed in by all of your young folks. The music of course was furnished by the string band. Snow is scarce but weather is very cold. Our wise men must have made a mistake when they prognosticated a mild winter, but as they say that a good season always follows a cold Avinter, we should all be 'appy and con tented. Christmas Day passed off very quiet ly, but notwithstanding the extreme cold weather nearly everyone turned out to see the grand .Christmas trees got up by the never-tiiing ladies of our town. The trees, there were three of them, were very tastefully arranged and loaded down with a multitudeous mass of presents from a simple baby toy to fine and costly articles. The presents were distributed in a very in teresting and orderly manner by the ever welcome Santa Clans, who never passes us by on Christmas night. The music was furnished by Mrs. Fay and Miss Holmes and the Springfield string band and was pronounced excellent by all present. The'haii y^ ver com fortable, thanks to Messrs. Sist & Al termatt for providing same gratis. After the destribution was concluded *vjb music and a aoeial ctiat followed, after which everybody betook themselves home highlw elated over the entice, successor the-entertainment.
