Pfaender represents the German Ame rican Hail Ins. Co., of St. Paul, the only company doing business of its kind in this vicinity. A 14 year old boy of Mr. John Hay man, of Courtland had the misfortune to break his left arm last Saturday while scuffling with some other boys. Dr. Berry reduced the fracture. An interesting clippirg from the Journal of Agriculture with refer ence to the New Ulm sugar works is unavoidably crowded out of the paper this week, but will appear next. Mr. E. A. Sommerville wishes us to say that he will be in Sleepy Eye, after June 1st. every Saturday until Aug 1st. and will be pleased to wait upon all who may require his services. The managers of W. C. Coup's great circus and menagerie have concluded not to come any farther west than Mankato, where they will exhibit next Monday. The Andrews Family Bell Ringers will soon take the road and promise to make New Ulm a visit in the course of a few weeks. The troupe, as lately re organized, is highly spoken of. We learn from the Lamberton Com mercial that a promising little girl, aged about 3 years, of C. Pdrter, liv ing 2% miles east of Lamberton, fell into a creek while at play with other children and was drowned. We understand that Mr.V.E.Wilson's spiritualistic lectures at Turner Hall last Friday and Saturday evenings were quite well attended. Mr. Wil son also lectured at the same place on Sunday afternoon and evening. The frame work of the rew flouring mill was raised last week and is how being enclosed. The mill promises to be a stately structure. Cheap Charley's new store is to be lighted with electric light with sun eclipsing, heaven-born splendor. So our friend Ross informs us, and he ought to know. Either our fishermen have lost their cunning or the finny tribe is getting scarce in the Cottonwood, as two or three is about as many any of the an glers haul up onto dry land during an afternoon. The Eagle Mill Co. last Thursday took in over 2000 bushels of wheat. The elevator and City Mill Co. also took in a large quantity on the same day. Verily, the wheat boom is boom ing, but we are sorry to see the price going down, down, down. Pay your taxes betoie June 1st and save the ten per cent, penalty and if you have any money left, just call around and pay up back subscriptions to the Review. This advice is given free of charge, and you will not be the loser if you take it, Casper Green, of West Newton, while diiving some cattle'last Thurs day was thrown from his horse and, the horse falling on him, had one of his legs broken. Dr. Carl, who has the unfortunate young roan in charge, in forms us, however, that the fracture is not a serious one. Geo. Beck, of Cottonwood, received a serious kick from a horse a lew days ago and for a time his life was de spaired of but we undeistand from Dr. Berry, who attends Mr. Beck, that he is .low in a fair way of recovery. On account of the verj inclement weather last Sunday the picnic advei tised to be held at the City Garden was postponed until next Snnday, when it is hoped the weather will, be more favorable. Don't fail to take it in. The depot at Ilerron Lake was struck by lightning and burned to ashes last week. The warehouse at Sibley was also similarly burned. A woman was killed near Granite Falls also a few aays ago, and a man and team at Wal nut station were struck, but only a colt was killed.Marshall Messenger. A.M.week When passing over the road last we noticed that a new flouring mill is being built at Nicollet Station. We also noticed quite many notable improvements in the little village of Courtland. Oshawa is the only station between here and St. Peter that re mains at a stand still. Since Mrs. Erd's return from the east her fine millinery establishment, now located in Beinhorn's building, is daily visited by a host of ladies all in tent upon getting a hat, trimmed to the latest fashion. Mrs. Erd's stock is really very fine and anyone in want of anything in her line should not fail to give her a call. Anton Biey haslost tin ee valuable horses a few days ago. They were lunningat large grazing and they have either strayed off or were stolen, as nothing has been seen or heard of them since Saturday, May 15th. As will be seen by a notice in another column Mr. Brey offers a liberal ie ward for their recovery. We understand the city council pro pose to appoint a sanitary committee, or board of health, whose duty will be to see that the present good health of the city shall be maintained by hav ing our alleys and streets kept clear of filth and refuse, and do all manner of things which in their judgement will be for the good of the health of the city. The Chicago & North-Westein Rail way will sell round trip tickets at EX- CURSION RATES from all of its stations to Chicago and return, for the Nation al Republican Convention, to be held in Chicago, June 2. Tickets will be sold May 30 to June 1, inclusive good toheturn tillJune 5. Mr. F. W. Gebser has been appoint ed census enumerator for New Ulm, Mr. Ed. J. Collins for Milford and John Rotering for Cottonwood, but on account of sickness the latter has returned his commission. We also learn that John Cutting has been appointed for Home and Loreno, and J. J. Ray for Burnstown and Bashaw. We are not advised as to the other appointees in the county. On the 17th inst, a large number of the Norwegian citizens of Linden and Butternut Valley met at the nice grove on the farm formerly owned by John Henning in Linden, and properly ob served the Independence Day of Nor way. Several were present from New Ulm, Lake Crystal and this place. All enjoyed themselves very much.Ma delia Times. Mr. F. G. Campbell's militaiy dra ma, entitled the Union Scouts, was produced under the auspices of the Governor's Guaid at Union Hall last Friday and Saturday evenings. Al though the weather was very fine and Mr. Campbell and the company had ta. ken considerable pains to render the play in a creditable manner, the audi ence was extremely small on both eve nings and the company did not even make expenses. Those that were pre sent, however, speak only in words of praise of the entertainment. At a delegate convention of Minne sota Turners, held in Minneapolis last September, it was decided to hold the 11th Minnesota Turn Fest in this city during the summer of 1880, and we see by the Post that our Turnverein has agreed upon Saturday and Sun day, August 21st and 22d as the time. The indications are that the attend ance will be very large, as not only every Turnverein in the State will be represented by a large delegation, but quite many Turners and their friends in eastern States have express ed their intention to be present. New Ulm is noted for her hospitality on such occasions and we may look for a large crowd and a good time. & &*r. ^-S^ ^rW^sk While both the Republicans and Democrats are quarreling within their ranks who their standard bearers for 1880 shall be, the Aultman Taylor Company have hit upon a novel plan to harmonize all differences and this week present at the head of our edit orial columns THE FARMERS' NATIONAL TICKET. It will be 'noticed that our towns man Mr. S. D. Peterson is placed upon the ticket as one of the electors, and he kindly asks the support of his nu merous friends. Whoop 'er up for the farmers ticket if you want to be on the winning side. To morrow is Corpus Christi, alias "Frohnleichnamstag," and the day will be celebrated by Rev. Alex. Berg hold's congregation with the usual fes tivities. There will be High Mass at 10 a. m., after which a procession will be formed and several altars which are being erected for the occasion will be visited. The services will be very im pressive and a very large attendance is expected if the weather is favorable. Lastyeai theie were over 1400 people in line. Mr. Adelbeit's new band will appear befoie the public for the first time on this occasion. On Friday, May 14, about five o' clock, a man by the name of Curtis, living on the Minnesota River bottom in Biich Cooley, sent his family for a load of wood down by the river. After starting they saw him go to the stable and back to the house. When they returned they found a note stating that he wastiied of living and bidding them good-bye, and that he wanted them to meet him above. On going to the stable they found him hanging dead He leaves a wife and a large family of childien to mourn his loss. It is sup posed that he was temporarily insane. -Ex. On Monday of last week a new time table went into effect on the St. Paul Sioux City road. The down trains to St. Paul leave St. Peter at 7 31 a.m. and 3:29 p. m. The up trains arrive St.Peter from St. Paul at 10:30 a. m. and 6.57 p. m., and they leave St. Paul at 7:10 a. m. and 3:40 p. m. There is no Sunday train as previously reported. Parties leaving St. Paul for this city on the 7:10 a, m. train can make close connec tion at St. Peter with the freight train, which is allowed to carry pas sengers, that arrives here at 1:45 p. m. There is however only 14 minutes' time in which to go from the Sioux City depot to the Winona depot. One Philip Philips, residing near Sleepy Eye, went out west by prairie schooner, this spring, accompanied by a daughter. On his retnrn, recently, while passing the home of Mr. Wal lace, northeast of Lamberton, feloni ously took a very valuable(?) canine fromtha premises, in the absence of the occupants. Wallace, missing the dog, got clue, came to town and swore out a warrant, and started the con stable after them. Philips was arrest ed, and the case which was tried at Burns, was sent up to the district courjt, where the question,''are dogs personal property?" will be tested. Meantime, Philips is under bonds in the sum of $400 to appear at court. Lamberton Commercial. PERSONAL. M. Mullen left Monday morning for St. Paul. Hugo Stubbe and Mr.Schreiber, two Milwaukee traveling men passed last Sabbath in our city. Mis. B. F. Webber left yesterday morning on a two weeks' visit to rela tives and friends at Good Thunder. F. Iluber, representing the well known wholesale liquor establishment of Geo. Benz, St. Paul, passed last Sab bath in our city. Jacob Brust, Dr. C. Berry, A. O. Redding, Fr. Baasen and T. E. Bowen represented Brown Co. in the Demo cratic State convention last week. Mr. Frank G. Campbell, of Un ion Scout fame, left for Minneapolis Monday morning. He was greatly disappointed with the result of his en gagement in this city. Fred Scott, formerly of Nelson Scott, of Carver and Jordan, has ac cepted a position in the City Drug Store. Mr Scotc is said to be a com petent pharmacist. He is a Scandina vien by birth but understands the Ger man language quite well. TWINE BINDERS. The Osbom Experiments a Complete Success. Both Wire and Twine can be used on the same Machine. We have repeatedly given in this paper our views in referance to binding witli twine, as well as in circulars is sued to our agents and up to this time we have been using such caution in re spect to this class of machines as to not put upon the market a twine bin der until we were thoroughly satisfied that in all respects it would answer the purpose for which it was intended. We have carefully avoided all the intricate and complicated machines which have from time to time been brought to our notice, and until one of our agents came to us in December last with a machine witli which he ht.d cut 00 acres of grain, we had seen nothing that we dare manufacture and say to our customers that it would do all it was intended to do, and so simple in construction that it would answer to put into the hands of those who ordi narily use harvesting machinery. But this machine recommended it self so thoroughly to us by its simplici ty and perfection of work, (although it was one which had been made in a country blacksmith shop,) that we felt it was well worthy of our attention. We immediately commenced experi ments, made patterns, and rebuilt it, and have, as we believe, brought out from this crude machine the most per* feet binder that has been made. In addition to simplicity, ease of management and certainty of binding, the parts which handle the twine can readily be adapted to our wire binding machine, That feature of itself is a great considerationbut it would be 1 "^w^ ^w^kdil^Aa useless if it was not in itself a' thor ough and perfect machine. To demonstrate it our Mr. Osborne took two of these machines to Texas and has been there several days test ing them in green grain, and the fol lowing is a telegram that we have just received from him in which it will be seen that he is thoroughly convinced of its complete succes: Austin, Texas, April 26,1880. Our Twine Binder is a most com plete success fully equal to Wire Bin der, Tou can now go on with entire safety and promise them to all wanting them next year. D. M. Osborne. On the strenght of Mr. Osborne's ex periments in Texas we would now say to all our customers who purchase our wire binder for the harvest of 1880 that we will undertake to furnish them with a twine binder attachment for the harvest of 1881 at an additional cost of twenty dollars each, or we will exchange the twine binding attach ment for the wire binding attachment without any cost except for freight, and warrant it to work well'm We assume that farmers generally will be glad to have both attachments for wire and twine binding. The change from one to the other can be done in a very few minutes by any one at all familier with that kind of ma chinery. It is done by merely taking out the wire twister and the switch frame and inserting in their place the knot-tyerand another switch frame. These attachments were both used in Texas on the same machine and with the most sutisfac tory lesultstoall ho saw them, and we do not hesitate a moment in guaranteeiag the per formance of either one or the other on the same machine. By having both, farmers will be enabled to use either wire or twine for binding as they may find it for their interest, either in the price of wire or the twine, or in the convenience of getting either. We do not believe there will be much differ ence in the cost of wire or twine, al though our competitors who use twine only will say the twine will not cost more than half as much as wire, but we believe there will he so little dif ference in the cost of the two that it will really make no difference to far mers which they use. Those who have used our wire bin ders need not to be told that they are the most simple andperfect machines of that kind that have yet been made. We need only say that our twine bin der is equally as good as the wire, and we stand ready to guarantee to the same extent these machines, as we have, and still do, our wire binders. We shall make of these twine binders as many as Ave possibly can for the haivest of 1880, but it is too late to make any very large number. We shall endeavor to get samples to all our agents who desire them, but can promise no more for this seasonbut will be fully prepared for the harvest of 1881 to furnish either as may be re quired, and also to exchange with those who purchase our wire binder for 1880 if they so desire. (From the Austin, Tex. Statesman, Apr. 29) A Statesman's reporter had the pleas ure of witnessing one of the greatest inventions of this country, yesterday on F. W. Hennig's farm about twelve miles north of Austin. It was one of the D. M. Osborne Company har vesters and self-binders, which cut and bound perfectly green oats with cord or wire, and performed its work with accuracy and dispatch in every respect. We noticed that in this cord binder the serious objections which exist in all other cord binders namely, the binding of a bundle loose is entire ly overcome in the Osborne machine, as it binds as tight as can be bound with wire. Another very important featured this machine which gives it the preference to all other cord bin ders is that it can be changed from a cord binder to a wire binder in a very short time by simply taking out cer tain pieces and replacing them by oth ers. This enables all those who have Osborne wire binders, to attach a twine binder, which the company will be able to furnish next year at the trifling cost of S20. The trial was witnessed by many of the best farmers in the vicinity, and the machine pro nounced the best in the market as will be seen by the certificate be low. 1 NEW ULM REVIEW, WEDNESDAY, MAY 26,1880. AUSTIN, TEXAS, April 27, 1880. This is to certify that we, the under signed, have witnessed the working of the Osborne Harvester and Binder, with both wire and cord on the farm of William Hennig, in very green oats. We can say that the wire binder did its work as well if not better than any we ever saw work. In regard to the cord, it was a perfect success we cannot see how it can be improved. It never misses a bundle and binds tight, while loose binding has been an ob jection to all others that we have seen worked. We cheerfully recommend the Osborne Harvester and Binder to all farmers. C. Nehrimr, F. W. Hennig, C. Keiling, II. R. Rusoh, Correspondent Texas Post. D. J. Mitchell, G. Thiele, Wm. Pfluger. The remarkable simplicity of the knot-tyer used in the Osborne Twine Binder is ,a marvel to all who see it, and a revelation to those who have seen the fearful and wonderful com plications used for the same purpose in most of the twine-binders which have been exhibited in public. TO THE FARMERS OP BROWN COUNTY. TheMcCormick agent of New Ulm has lately been circulating among the farmers a circular containing some let ters, pretending to be from men, who last year bought twine binders, but could not do their harvest with them. I wish the farmers to notice that not a single one of these letters state that a WOOD Twine Binder has been tried and found to be a failure. But as the McCormick agent is in "desperate straits," and understands that it will be hard for him to sell his wire binder' he assumes a fatherly care for all the farmers and warns them not to buy twine binders. And some letters written by persons who last year tried some worthless twine bindernot the Wood twine bindermust serve as scare crows to terrify the farmers from buying also the Wood Twine Binder. And Hon. Mr. Engel folds his hands, falls in with the McCormick agent and says: "Amen. Amen. Farmers, don't buy a twine binder but buy a McCor mick wire binder, that's the machine to buy. Amen, farmers." "iou see the McCormick agent has a fatherly care for your welfare. But which do you think he really cares4the most for your welfare, or that he can sell his machines* I have an idea that he thinks a little the most of his machines and it would surely have looked a lit tle better if some one else than the McCormick agent, who has no twine binder to sell, had taken so much inte rest in the farmers' cause, that he felt it his duty to warn them against buy ing twine binders. The McCormick company have a cir- cular out,promising aMcCormick twine binder for next year. I wonder how the story of their agent at this place will be then, when he shall sell his twine binderN. B. if be gets any. In regard to the Wood twine binder I have only few words to say. Anyone who will step into my office can exam ine the binder, and I shall be ready to explain anything that may be desired, and answer any question that may be askedas far as I am able. I only wish to say that I make no strong effort to sell the Wood twine binder, as most of the farmers who have seen the ma chine, are so well pleased with it that if they want a binder at all this year the Wood twine binder is the one they want and I see now that the hard job for me this year will not be to sell the Wood twine binder, but to get enough of them. But as the McCormick agent has taken the trouble to publish some letters as a warning not to buy any twine binders, I will here publish some letters from men who either saw the Wood twine binder work last year, or owned and worked one of them last harvest and as some may doubt that the letters are genuine, I will give a list of the mens' names and their post office i address, and then anyone can write to these parties and satisfy him self whether they are genuine or not: T.

Wood: We congratu late you on securing for the trade the only perfect self-binder in the world. We have seen it work in all kinds of grain, tall wheat.rye live feet in length, short wheat and oats, straight grain and lodged and tangled grain, heavy and light grain, and over smooth and rough land, and we wish to say to all interested and desiring to use a self binder, that the machine is equal to any trial that we have seen, and has worked perfectly under all circumstan ces. We have seen in operation nearly all kinds of self binders, but we have never seen anything equal to your twine binder. T. J. Howe, H. N. Lahore. Merton, Minn., March, 1880. I bought a Walter A. Wood Twine Binder of Holmes Son, last year. Used it to do my harvest of 130 acres. It gives complete satisfaction every way. It binds very tight. The bundles do not come apart in handling, nor were there any scatterings of any conse quence. I have seen many wire bin ders,work, but none suit ms as well as this The draft is easy for three hor ses. I averaged 15 acres a day. The draft is easier than any other binder I have seen. It is less complecated than any other binder I ever saw work. I had no trouble at all. It made a com plete separation in all kinds of grain. 1 cut apiece of wheat for Mr. Banting that he could not cut with his Marsh handbinding harvester, and done it well. John II. Laughlin. Owatonna, Minn. I purchased one of those string bin ders last harvest, and it gave me en tire satisfaction in all manneis. When I had got twine I had no bother what ever. I have seen other binders but none of them seemed to do such nice and clean work as it did and it has lighter draft than any I have seen. My field was visited by ten to twenty five persons every day I woiked it and every one remaiked that it was the boss binder, and all noticed the clean woik it done. It binds the bundles all of a size, and never no knot come untied the bundles sire nice and straight, aic nice to set up and nice to stack. I bourd 115 acres ai:d the bin der shows no weai whatever. When I bought it the cry was that the crick ets and mice would eat the bands in the stacks, but 1 have thieshed late and have seen no signs of it. John Zimmerman. I used one of your twine binders to do my hai vest last year. It done good work when I had good twine. I have seen other binders woik, but none seemed to do so nice and clean work as mine and it has lighter draft than any I have seen. The bundles are nice to set up and stack, being all of a size. I can say it is a good machine, one 1 will recommend to the farmers. Andreas Erdmann, Owatonna, Minn. Walter A. Wood: I used one of your twine binders to cut my grain last har vest. It done good work. I can re commend it to all as a first-class ma chine in every respect. The tying de vice is very simple and not liable to get out of order. It is a machine the farmers can rely on every day, in light or heavy grain. Andreas M. Hansen. Owatonna, March 20, 1880. I used one of your twine binders last harvest. It did its work well clean and tight. I am satisfied that the machine is one that will take the lead in the harvest field for 1880. Hans J. Hansen. Owatonna, March, 1880. I witnessed the working of the Holmes Twine binder at two different trials last season, and would say that it does the best work of any twine binder I ever saw workbinding, sep arating and delivering in good shaps. A. G. Murray. I saw your binder work last year, and think it did the cleanest, nicest work of any of them. F. Murray, Owatonna, Minnesota. I saw your twine binders working last harvest on several farms around here they did first-class work the binding was tight and clean. H. P. Hanson. Owatonna, March 26,1880. I saw the Wood twine binder work in the field, last season, in very foul and weedy grain, and it did its work perfectly. I consider it a success. David S. Stewart. Owatonna, March 25,1880. Having seen your "automatic twine binder" work, during the harvest of 1879,1 cheerfully recommend it to all in want of a binder, to be the best In the field during said harvest. M. A. Fredenburg. Owatonna, March, 1880 Dear SirIsaw the Walter A.Wood twine binder working on the farm of John Zimmermann. It works well. I can recommend it to all. Adam Burtsch. Owatonna, March 26,1880. I witnessed the working of the Walter A. Wood twine binder last August, on the farm of J. M. Laugh lin, in the town of Merton, and never in my life saw better binding done it was at work in a piece of wheat badly crinkled and full of wild buckwheat and weeds, and done better work than could possibly have been done by I hand. ewis Lord.

CHERBURG, FRANCE, May 5th, 1880. Although a Norman farm is, gen erally speaking, cultivated according to long-established customs, and al though these customs are not hard and last, and it is seldom that a landlord requires his tenant to strict ly follow such rules. All the regular farm laborers employed in the Nor man farms live on the premises they are lodged and fed, and they hire themselves for one year. Taking a farm of middle sizethat is, of about 200 acres, the regular laborers conwst of 2 horse drivers, 2 yaid laborers, 2 boys, 1 shepherd, and 2 servant girls, and the yearly wages paid to them are: To the horse driv ers $75 each to the yard laborers $100 each to the boys $15 to $20 each, to the shepherd $175 and the servant girls $25 to $57.50. The har vesters are naturally engaged for a certain time, and "a forfeit/' that is to say, they fulfil the operations incidental to the gathering in of all the different crops, axcept roots, for a certain stated sum. and take the weather chances. The price gener ally is $2.50 per acre. There are women and boys employed in plant ing beetroot, and the like, and the cost is generally reckoned at $1.50 per acre, or for 12 acres, the propor tionate area under such crops, $17.- 50. These items constitute the whole of the labor expenses of the farm, and amount, therefore, to $8 per acre. Then come the food ex penses for the 9 regular laborers, at $1 per head per week, or per year $67.50., or per acre, say $2.50 and six day's planting for fourteen wo men and children at the same ratio $12.50, or per acre $1 25 total ex penses for labor, etc. per acre $11.- 75 the rent varies between $10 and $15 per acre, say, then, $12.50 and we have all the expenditure a Nor man farmer must bear before he can put one penny to his own account, $24.25. With such an outlay he yet man ages to support himself and his fam ily well, but he and his wife and children must and always do put their shoulders to'the wheel. He lives well but is far from being ex travagant. His wife and his daught ers must personally superintend and work in the orchard, whilst he and his sons are out in the fields from morning till evening. They are all up with the sun in summer and in bed at 10 p. m. In winter by 5 a in., and in bed at 9 p. m* For six months in the year the cattle are grazing in the meadows, which, for the purpose, are divided into several equal parts whenever the cattle are put in succession. At night, how ever, the whole of them are gather ed into an aitificial enclosure, which is moved from one place to the next every day thereby the meadows are regularly manured and no patches can exist the dang is spread every morning by the catttefbpy, and the grass grows uniformly everywhere* The same system is followed with a flock of sheep. They are out graz ing from the beginning of March i till the end of November, if weather permits, bat are always kept in flock under the continual care of the shep herd and his dogs. The advantages of this system are obvious under many heads. Sheep do not run, nor can they he decoyed away from their master. The fields are systematical ly grazed upon, and if one of the ani mals fall ill, immediate attendance is at hand. A great advantage of the enclosure is, of course, regularity in manuring. The farmer knows what area a flock of 600 sheep will man ure and he acts accordingly in man uring the other area coming under treatment for the year. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. STRAYED OR STOLEN.
