"Hv rc -X- ?*£?$ Jcf1 The best located town in Southern Dakota, being situ ated near the cen ter of Brule County, in the midst of the best farming and stock country in the world. The proof of which has been fully demon strated in the mag nificent crops of the past few years. KIMBALL Is located on the Main Line ol the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, 48 miles west oi Mitchell and 22 miles east oi Chamberlain. It has a line pub lie school building, good church-' es, a first-class postoflice, two banks, two srood hotels, one large grain elevator and mate rial on the ground for another, three lumber yards, all tarrying immense stocks several black smith shops, good livery stables, and stores representing all branches of trade. Still the country demands more and to live men great inducements ire offered to invest in this Beautiful Town The Brule County Agricul tural Fair Grounds adjoin the townsite and is one of the best fair grounds in the Territory, with a good half-mile track! THE TOWN IS BOOMING And now is the time to invest. D. Proprietor of the' original town site, has platted and laid out three additions, all adjoining, with a continuation of streets and alleys.

The rain fall is abundant and always couies when most needed, i'he water is free from any alkali taste and as pure as any found in any of the Eastern States. In short, the country, climate and social advantages make this one of the best, it hot the very best, county in Dakota for the emi grant* For further particulars, call on or address d.

The Sioux Falls, Fairbi&ks ft West ern survey has been completed to a 'point -three miles west of Huron, and will be continued in the direction of Sioux Falls. Fire destroyed the saloons of Megin & Pritzel and Gilbert Matson, at Rey nolds, near Grand Forks. Megin bred over his place and lost his household ef fects. Charles Ole^sn, a Scandinavian was taken from the eastern train at Bis marck with his limbs so badly frozen that they must be amputed, the result of a spree at Brainerd. A. Johnson and Fingar Larson were brought before the United States com missioner at Fargo and pleaded guilty to cutting timber on government lands. A Territorial Horticultural associa tion has been organized, with the fol lowing officers: President, E. De Bell of Sioux Falls, vice president, H. Wust off of Huron secretary and treasurer, W. F.

A Philadelphia clergyman told the children of his Sunday school that out in Dakota they dig great square holes in the ground and hold the Sunday schools in these holes. A little girl writes a letter to the Times of that city, saying that the reverend gentlemen is in a hole himself, as no such system exists in Dakota. At Fargo the United States commie sioner held W.

Word has been received of the death at San Francisco of Samuel McMaster, superintendent of the Homestake gold mines and other interprises in the Hills, and a proininant candidate before the last Republican territorial convention for nomination as delegate to congress. In an open letter to Gov. Pierce in a Jamestown paper John Paul Logan asks him to recommend the reconstruction of the east and west boundary lines of all counties in Dakota which touch the 46th parallel, so that the 46th parallel •hall be the north boundary line for all contiguous counties in South Dakota. This, he says, would commit the present legislature to division, and otherwise facilitate the same. Judge Quptell,, United States com missioner, at Fargo, bound all the al leged interferers with the mail wagon in Roberts county, to the term of court at Sioux Falls. The judge stated that while it was shown there was no inten tion to commit the offense charged, the halting of a wagon in the highway with Winchester and revolver drawn,'was a practice upon which the court should set the seal of its oondemnaton. The capitol building at Bismarck will be dedicated with appropriate ceremo nies on Jan. 14, the expenses of which will be borne by that city.

Kioheus & Baldwin have laid several, hundred aores of scrip on the Mouse river near the western boundary of McHenry county, ind an effort will be made to undo the present organization and effect a new »ne favorable to the new scheme. Live ly times are anticipated. The matter will figure to some extent iu the legisla ture. •**&) .v5,i:T^ &&Sf rW. STADY fbr Battle. "The 6th of February, 1862, dawned larkly after a thunder-storm. Pacing tha parapets of the work on the hill kbova the inlet formed by the junction of Hickman's Creek and the Comber land River, a sentinel, in the serviceable butternut jeans uniform of the Confed erate army of the West, might that day have surveyed Fort Donelaon almost ready by battle. In fact, very little was afterward done to it. There were the two water batteries sunk in the northers face of the bluff, about thirty feet above the river in the lower battery nine thirty-two pounder guns and one ten inch Oolumbiad, and in the upper an other Oolumbiad, bored and lined as a thirty-two pounder, and two thirty-two pounder carronades. These guns lay between the embrasure*, in snug revet ment of sand ih ^Soffee-sacltB,' ft&hked right and left with stout traverses. The satisfaction of the sentry could have been in no wise diminished at seeing the baok water lying deep in the creek a more perfect ditch against assault, could not have been constructed. The fort itself was a good profile, and admirably adapt ed to the ridge it crowned. Around it, on the landward side, ran the rifle-pits, a continuous but irregular line of logs, sovered with yellow clay. From Hick man's Creek they extend far around to the little run just outside the town on the south. If the sentry thought the pits looked shallow, he was solaced to see that they followed the coping of the ascents, seventy or eighty feet in hight. up- which a foe must charge, and that, where they were weakest, they were strengthened by trees felled outwardly in front of them, so that the interlacing limbs and branches seemed impassable by men under fire. At points inside the outworks, on the inner slopes of the hills, defended thus from view of an enemy as well as from his shot, lay the huts and log-houses of the garrison. Here and there groups af later comers, shivering in their wet blankets, were visible in a bivouac so cheerless that not even morning fires could relieve it. A little musio would have helped their sinking spirits, but there was nolle. Even the piotoresque effect of gay uni forms was wanting. In fine, the Con federate sentinel on the ramparts that morning, taking in the whole scene, knew the jolly rollicking pionic days of the war were over."—Gen. Lew Wal lace, in the Century. The Candidate for a Faetorate. The Rev. Patrick Smellie, who was pastor of some Bmall congregation in the extreme north of Scotland, was a man of maa^.words the great end of his existenqe«eemed to be to introduce as many fine sounding vooables as pos sible into his payfflr fad~ eeimuiMfc Every substantive had, where possible, several adjectives attached to it, and every adjective an adverb or two to keep it warm. If he spoke of tha sea, it was "the beautiful, blue, loud roar ing, storm swept main." The sun was "the bright, lucid, brilliant, light giv ing monarch of day." The stars were "those little twinkling orbs that gaily iance in the deep, cerulean sky." He had also a large stock of illustrations derived from steam plows and machine ry in general, which produced a great nffect upon his agricultural audience. The first stamp of his big foot nearly knocked the bottom out of the pulpit, a circumstance which greatly enchanced his popularity and when, nfxt Sabbath, he swept away the tumbler from the shelf, in one of his tremendous gyra tions, and made it fall with a smash upon the floor, the popular admiration knew no bounds. "Wasna that grand," said Tweedie to an admiring crowd on the green in front of the meeting house. "Did ye ever know such a waltli of language? What grand descriptions what knowledge oi things human and divine I" "That's oor man!" cried another. :'Did a# ye hear that aboot the steamboat bursting in the Mississippi, and the comet dashing a hundred worlds to at oms in its mad career?" "What a fist the man has!" said Wil lie Bain, who' had been a noted pugilist in former years. "He could fell an ox, that yin, oi. I thocht he would hav hit me on the neb as I sat in the gal lery "Losh me, I wonder ye're no tired clavericg aboot yen muckle Goliath," interjected Jamie Johnstone, the beadle. "In ony case, I'm tired waiting. So you'll kindly takyerselves aff, and let me get the gates lockit?" The Rev. Patrick Smellie was the idol of the hour, and in due course of time re ceved a call to be the colleague of the aged and venerable Dr. Howliston.— Battlegairy Vacancy. Woodchuck Scheme in Connecticul From the Hartford Dispatoh. Clinton and Avon are adjoining towns in the Litchfield Mountains that are infestes with woodohueks. The seleotmen of each town offered bounties of 50 cents for each wookohuck killed. The Avon selectmen required as prool the woodchuck's tail while the Canton selectmen demanded the deposit of the ears. For the past year there hav« been unusually large demands upon the town exchequer for bounties in each oi these towns, and, when by accident the Canton selectmen and Avon' selectmen met and compared notes, they found by a singular coincidence that the num ber of tails submitted to the Avon se lectmen was precisely the same a» the number of pairs of ears shown up to the Canton offioers. Investigation showed that when the Avon boys caught a woodchuck they out off its ears acd tail, and the Canton boys did the sam« thing, and then they swopped ears foi tails. Thus one woodchuck did doubl* duty. The selectmen of both towns, with great dignity, thereupon decided to pay no more bounties for wood ohnoks, and the farmers are indignami thereat. «rw-^ labor 1 V* yo-r") 1 ifci 5*!? fftn# ft/ f'S. 1 if 4 Fair gnniT.T» ivrmMStS' mSSf & s&: V, I AM HEBE 1-, %k H- i. -i But am not so positive that L.
