Dear Republican:—Although 'we have not much in the way of news to chronicle, we will try and get up a short letter. The morning is bright enough to lend inspiration to the hand of the veriest scribbler, but somehow, tor some reason we c annot feel the ■“divine afflatus” prompting us to mighty efforts, therefore you will have to be satisfied with the regular humdrum letter. The election passed off quietly , resulting in the re-election of Alex Anderson as Marshal; Messrs. Durand, Stiller, Hart and Stout as city fathers; and H. W. Snyder as Clerk. The ticket as elected gives general satisfaction. In spite of the late spring, and the Dakota exodus our farmers and the people generally are looking cheerful and hopeful. The spirit of prophecy is upon us we predict o bounteous and beautiful year for this locality. We are not selfish and are willing to have our neighbor, Rensselaer, share in the prosperity. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Price are in town making preparation to emigrate to “the land of promise the El Dorado of the west” better known as Dakota. May they fully realize tneir bright expectations. B. H. Patton and Loyd Kingsbury left for Dakota Monday morning, the former to visit his son James who is doing a “land office” business at Frederic, and the latter in charge of a stock of goods to be retailed at low figures to the citizens of St. Lawrence and Hand county generally. As we remarked in a previous letter if those have gone from here to the Territory are samples of the emigrants it will be a grand state when admitted. Mrs. P. B. Lyon and son and 'Mr. Morgan will start for Huron, D. T. next week and T. R. Donnelly went to the same place last week. George Hart left for Marion last Monday having secured a position In a drug store in that place. Mrs. Green the aged mother of Mrs. Dr. Landon is very sick. Schools close in three weeks.
