Hon. Samuel Miller, of Winonu, Minnesota, is visiting his brother John Miller, of this place, who has been quite tow with the bronchetis for the 1 ist few weeks. The doctor, who was formerly a resident of this county, is a staunch democrat yet, and his record in the Minnesota legislature, which has just closed, would justify the people of his district in sending him to represent thorn again. Dan. B. Miller mourneth and refuseth to be comforted. HesaysHoraee never alluded to his boots. We congratulate Mr. S. Bass on the probable acquisition of a new daugh-ter-in-law.
