Mr A Burns appeared before the Board
in reference to a gravel pit opened on his

to the opening of the same, hat the gentle-
men then comprising the Board insisted on
the pit being opened. Very little gravel
was takeu out of the pit on account of the
poor quality of the same. Mr. Burns
claimed that his field was much damaged
by the opening of the said pit, and thought
that he should get some remuneration as
the gentlemen then representing the tp had
promised to pay him damages. The matter
was laid over for farther consideration.

DESTITUTE DAKOTA.
A Warning to Caltadlan Settlers,
The Governer of South Dakota accom-
panied a deputation from that State which
visited St. Paul last Wednesday, for the
purpose of securing aid for the destitute
farmers of the State. The deputation met
the St Paul joint relief committee, and
among its speakers was Judge Hoidridge of
Miner county, who said :
"Those who representedthere was abund-
ance in bis section of the country were
certainly egregiously mistaken. He bad
lived in Miner county nine years and knew
every man in it, and spoke with perfect
knowledge of the situation. The county
commissioners had devoted nearly all of their
time gratuitously to this matter, Statistics
showed that last year wheat raised in that
county averaged only one busbel to the acre,
corn one baahel, flee ono bushel. Thele
web° practically no oats at all, and potatoes
averaged only ten bushels. Grass, smhieh
was depended on for fuel by many, was
almost a total failure also. The people are
poor. * * * It was owing to the condi.
but -ions from the outside that the people
lived through the winter, and in the teeth
of all statements tothe 'oontreryhe declared
that if it had not beenfor thegenerosity of
the outside people and the railroads,and if
they had an ordinary cold winter, hundreds
would have perished by hunger and cold.
Not one farmer out of ten hae coed, and.
they duu't ktot7 where to get it."

HYMENEAL,—Another on the list of
married couples. On Thursday evg, last
Mr Jacob Heist, jr, was joined in the holy
bonds of matrimony to Miss Lydia Faiszt.
daughter of the late B Faiszt. The

the young people took a short drive and
on their return they partook of a gorgeous
wedding supper. In the evening they
were serenaded by both the band and the

According to a correspondent in the
