He has tried other vai ieties and prefers the Early Amber. Mr. P. is prepared to furnish seed to those who want it, at 50 cents petpound. ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.

The coincidence of Henry Ward Beecher's and Cauop Farrar'sfulminations against the doctiine of eternal punishment, has made a great sensation among the clergy and the newspapeis. They mostly treat the matter as though it were something new, but the controveisyisas old as Christianity, jet it never was held by the majority of the Christian Church, as Dr. Edward Beecher showed in his able treatise on the subject, published a few years ago, until about the 6th century after Christ. Dr. Edwards, editor of the Northwestern Christian Advocate, in his article on Beecher's recent sermon, shows how the Methodist Church waged war on Calvinism all over tbc continent 70 or SO years ago, and says the "slowdeath of Calvinism dates from that period." The facts are that no one church, or philosophy, can claim the "honor of modifying the terrible views of eternal torture held by men a century ago.

Science, philosophy, the diffusion of knowledge, Universalism, common sense, the preaching God's love by such men as fight between Armenianism and Calvinism, have all united to change the views of thetion churches and the woild upon this subject. The Worthington Seminary will commence Monday, Jan. 7th, 1878. GRAND PRAIRIE CROPS. We are indebted to F.

J. Porter Millie following table giving the amount of grain raised in Grand Prairie township the past season, as far as could be ascertained. There are five or six farmers not reported, and Mr. Porter thinks they raised at least one thousand bushels of wheat, which will make the yield in the neighborhood of 26,000 bushels. xForih3 Acres.

The shadows darkened within the room And the lire-light flickered upou the wall. We sat alone in the gatheriug gloom, Till the world grew dark as a funeral-palh The wind arose and came up from the sea And tapped at the casement like a hand.

Your deep dark eyes were looking at me. And the rain came down and flooled the land. You held my hand ty your tender clasp. And talked to me in the old sweet way But my soul was out the window-hasp, At roam with the shadows wierd and gray. And the bright room faded from my sight, Your low voice sounded faint and far.

And my soul was out iu the bitter night, Bereft of compass, or moon, or star. And I thought that the air was still as pain, And the winds from (he sea did sob and rave And the rain that beat with its will refrain Was tailing upou my lonely grave! FANNY DHISCOU. Milwaukee. LET1ER FROM MR, 8YKES. In a letter recently received from Mr.

John Sykes, who returned a few months ago to Adams county, Illinois, he says We shall never forget the many pleasant days we spent while among you at Worthington during last summer. We must say, now that we look back, that we appr ciate those days veiymuch. For myself, I think the people of Worthington and vicinity (generally speaking) would be hard to beat in anything and everything that goes to make up a first-class community. And, as far as we are corcerned, it we should ever make a permanent change, Worthington would be the centre of attraction. Or to speak more directly, the point on "Okabena Hoinje." It you could get the Southern Minnesota to your place, which now.

seems ceitain in the near future, there is noCar-loaoflots telling what notion we miuht take. I have thought that when that road is completed, I would like to pay two or three fares for a ride over it from LaCiosse to Worthington. I believe theie is nothing wanting now but the extension of that road to fill up Nobles county at once, and to make your beau tifully-situated town a city of at least 2,000 inhabitants within two veais after the completion of the road to Worthington. FORTY-TWO DAYS FAST. The Pioneer Press, of Thursday last, contained a lony letter from Dr.

Tanner, of that city, on his forty-two days fast. That the doctor did actually live forty-two days without eating, and is now alive and well, is as well settled, it seems, as any matter of the kind can Dr. Moyer was in the secret of the fast while it was progressing, saw Tanner frequently, and expresses great confidence in his veracity and integrity of character. The Doctor made the experiment, not for notoriety, but infai.h the interest of science. As a mere matter of curiosity it would not befleWe worth the trial, but the experiment beais upon a matter of the greatest inteiest to every one, and the facts quotby the Doctor prove the truth of it beyond question, viz: that persons may live many days and even weeks in a comatose state, or a state of suspended animation.

We are therefore forced to the conclusion that many persons are buried alive to wake up in theTieasurer grave, pass through a lorrible struggle, and perish miserably. Many well authenticated cases of this kind have occurred, but how many cases of resuscitation there are in which the poor fellow-man wakes up in the grave we may never know. But we certainly do know enough to justify, and even to compel, greater care and less criminal haste in buiyingthc dead. We remember an instance in Ohio where a young woman died suddenly, to all appear nice, and was bmied with almost the bloom of health on her cheeks. Some remarks were made about the matter and that was all.

The doctors and the friends buried her out of sight, when they should, as in all simil ir cases, have kept the body until there could have been no doubt as to death. The Sunday Pioneer-Press was sotheysaid full of Holiday that it had to issue a supplement. We are EO full of Holiday turkey that we find it difficult to issue at all. Brackets, Wall Pockets, just received. The corn yield was not large, but so far as Mr.

P. could ascertain, the ag-Prairio gregate is between 1200 and 1500 bushels. We hope our friends in the other towns will send in crop statistics: II. G. TORRENCB.
