R. aud C. W. Pettis have gone to Dakota to bring the remains of their father to Winona Co. for interment.

A. G. Seney and family, after waiting several days for a train, took a hand car on Monday last, and spun out for Rushmore. We neglected at the time to mention the arrival of Mr. Dubois from New York, who returned to attend to some business matters.

Miss Hattie Smith has secured a school a mile and a half north of Adrian in the Tarbert district. Miss Smith has the training and experience for a good teacher. C. St. John Cole got in from Sioux Falls on Monday, on a sail car.

They made the run from Luverne in three hours. He reports 15 to 20 houses washed away at Sioux Falls. Mr. Kendall, manager of the big farms in this vicinity, and N. Y.

He has completed his contract for 60 houses, and despatched to the colonists to come on. Most of them got as far as Mankato and were stopped by floods.

A $3,000 school house and Catholic church will be built this season at Curiie. A. McDougall, Superintendent of the Roche Farm, dropped in on Saturday to pay up for the ADVANCE in advance, and we were glad to get hold of his hand again, as he has not been in town since January. gotcost through with his 475 head of sheep, some 45 head of cattle, and 9 horses, all right, as he had abundance of teed laid up in his huge barn. Mr.

McDougall built 175 feet of sheep shed after the winter set in. GO FOR THEM. Elsewhere we publish a notice from Governor Miller, saying that hereafter he will try to kill every dog and fowl that may tresspass upon his premises. He has had notices printed aud put upon the fence around his lot to about the same effect. Worthington is an incorporated village and still it is overrun with dogs, fowls, which are daily turned loose to annoy people.

The dogs sometimes kill the chickens aud then some man kills a dog, but this is only a drop in the bucket. It needs a pretty general killing to keep the brutes within bounds. One lady says that as fast as she cleans off her front porch it is tracked and muddied by prowling curs. We hear of a place down east which was infested about as Worthington is with dogs. After a while the dogs began to drop off from some mys terious ailment till there were only two left.

It is said that a very little piece of meat properly medicated will finish a dog. ADVANCE ALMANAC Early in January requested Boreas to draw the weather mild. Softened up that night and gave us two weeks of mild weather. Tipped the wink to Boreas and told him to "give it to 'em." Blizzards, mountains of snow and blockades for People begjed off. Thursday, March 10th, promised tnem one note big blizzard and no more.

Friday, March 11th, terrific blizzard set in continuing two and bringing mountains ot snow. Last blizzard as promised. Middle of March predicted no regular trains until middle of April. regular trains yet. Thursday, April 14th, promised better weather after Easter as Boreas had agreed to withdraw his infantry its he had his aritillery before.

After Easter mild weather set in. as promised, and snow disappeared like mist, except big drifts. The other morning Orlo Hecox went down to the East Lake spearing fish. He soon saw a young whale and speared it through the head. It was a muscallonge, weighing pounds, and measuring three feet, five inches in length, and 19 inches around the waiste.

This the largest muscallonge ever caught in our lakes so far as we can learn. We have heard of 11 pounders being caught, and buffalo fish weighing over twenty pounds have frequently been taken, but Mr. Hecox has the belt on muscallonges. EO Friday last, Mr. Tracy, who works at the railroad coal bin, fell from a freight car and broke one of his legs above the knee.

He had climed over the bumpers to pass between two cars and in jumping off caught his foot in some way and fell with one leg under him, so as to splinter the bone above the knee. He fell not more than two or three feet, but the break, we learn, is a serious one which will lay him up for some weeks. The Okabena got on the rampage last week and overflowed the road near Park addition. The water washed out several hundred feet of sidewaik on 7th avenue. The inlet near "Miller's Point" and the outlet this side of "Sinner's Rest" were ramping torrents for several days.

lives lost. The Journal has been enlarged again. The other time we said, "the bladder always swells up biggest just before it bursts." This time we say: Look out for another fire. The other enlargement was followed by a fire. A Worthington lady informs us that she found a cat sitting on a nest of hen's eggs the other day.

A man named Leonard, in Brooklyn, has a cat which has hatched out 21 broods. The little frogs were our flogging on Sunday night last for the first time. At least that was the first time we heard their cheerful voices filling the night with song. Keep it tip "cheerful" and tuke care to keep your legs out of the frying pan. T.

H. Parsons has rented the room adjoining Law's Drug Store, and will occupy it as an office. THE FLOODS. When the A A CE said, about the middle of March, "don't look for regular trains before the middle of April," they wanted to hang us up as a false prophet. Three weeks later when we said that we counted some on the floods interfering after the snow was gone, we expressed the hope that we might fail on at least one prediction, just for the sake of regular trains.

But thetrict first of May is about here, and no regular trains yet. Last week, for several days, trains got through both ways, but the bridges began to go out, and after Wednesday there were no mails. Following is a list of the breaks so far as we have learned: MAIN LINE. The bridge at East Orange, over the Floyd, was partly washed out andas twisted out of place early last week. Track washed out aud bridges gone on the Central between Lemars and Sioux City.

The bridge over Jack Creek, between Hersey and Heron Lake, and another small bridge near there, were washed out. The bridge over the Des Moines at Windom was displaced, and we hear that one of the abutments was washed out. The bridge over the Watonwan, at Madelia, is partly gone. BRANCH. The water has made havoc with bridges between here and Sioux Falls.

The bridges over the Kanaranzi and the Rock are partly gone, and 300 feet of track washed out this side of Luverne. Bridge over Beaver Creek is partly gone, and those over the Split Rock and Sioux are said to be entirely gone. Altogether, it is said, half a mile of track has been washed out onTown the branch and it will take three or four weeks to make repairs and put in bridges. ROCK RAPIDS BRANCH. The fine bridge at Rock Rapids, which the Company $30,000, is reported entirely gone, and the new mill, in which our friend Charley Miller was milling, is washed out and wrecked.

ELSEWHERE. Sioux Falls is reported cut off. bridges over the Sioux, on our branch, and also on the Pembina road, both being entirely gone. The lumber yards are also gone, with a numberof houses, and the town is partly inundated. At Dell Rapids, the water is reported 16 feet above high water mark and the town of Eden is flooded.

At Jackson, we learn, there are several thousand feet of track washed out on the Southern Minnesota, t.nd theresidence bridge damaged. We learn also that the Union Pacific bridge at Omaha is gone, and that Omaha and Council Bluffs are inundated. OBITUARY.

While workii at his trade in Wagner county, N. Y. he married Miss Sarah Ann Ellis. By hard work he managed, at the end of six months, to purchase a house and an acre of land in the village of Sodias. Here his first son and daughter were born, lie lived in this place for twelve years, and then sold out and moved to Orangeville, N.

where he bought 30 acres of land. He lived in the latter place several years, during which time he was engaged in the tannery and shoemaking business. Atter living in Orangeville several years he rented his place and bought a farm in Gainesville, N. but failing to make a success upon the sandy soil, which he endeavored to convert, into good farming land, he returned to Orangeville. About a year afterwards he sold out and started west.

While in Orangeville another son was born. He landed in Milwaukee, in June, 1847. He subsequently located in Dodge county, Wis. Another son and daughter were born in this place. lie then rented his farm in Dodge county and bought a large stock farm in Columbia county.

Subsequently he rented this farm "and returned to the old farm in dge county. Another son was now born. He then sold the Dodge county farm and moved back to the Columbia county farm, where his youngest son (Nelson) was born. After living at the last named place two years, he sold out anda moved, in 1856. to Winona county, Minn.

He lived in Winona county until the spring of 1S80. His children having all moved further west, he rented the old farm and bought a new onehack three and one-half miles southwest of Milbank. Before, however, he could establish a home in this new country, his old and faithful companion was called to her long home. Her loss was one from which he never recovered. He, however, finally settled on his farm in this comity.

His daughter, Mrs John E. Rogers, and her family, resided temporarily with him in this county. During the winter his health was excellent, but about three weeks ago he caught a cold which settled on his lungs, causing congestion. He sick only one week, aud quietly breathed his last at three o'clock p. Thursday, Feb.

24. 1881.Jan.. He retained full consciousness till the last, and did not realize that he was dying until five minutes before he expired. He exhibited no fear of death, and died in the full faith of the Christian religion. He and his wife joined the M.

E. Church soon after their marriage in N. He was a man of the strictest honestv and highest morals. And was possessed of more than average intelligence and his whole life was blan eless and spotless. During his lifetime he held several offices of trust and honor.

The deceased leaves six children, all of whom have grown to youngest being our well-known citizen Nelson Pettis. The remains were buried at his late home on March 1st, but will be disinterred about the first of May, when alljhis children can meet here, upon the occasion of the funeral services, and reinterred by the side of his wife in nona county, Minn.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of vegetable alteratives Stillingia. Mandrake, Yellow the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most efficacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure.

Its ingredients are so skilfully combined, that the full alterative effect of each is assured, aud while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, it is still so flVctual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and the confidence which prominent physicians all over the country repose in it. prove their experience ot its usefulness. Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are constantly being received, and as many of these cases are publicly known, they furnish convincing evidence of the superiority of this Sarsaparilla over every other alterative medicine. So generally is its superiority to any other medicine known, that we need do no more than to assure the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained.
