A HURONITE IN DAKOTA.
Mr. Andrew Beith, a former resi-
dent of the County of Huron, near
ingham, writes from Wheatland,
ass County, Dakota, as follows:
I Mn. EDITOR,—DEAR SIR :—As spring
ii now approaching, and those who in-
tend emigrating from Wingham and
s rrounding country are making up
t eir minds where is the next best place
th go to, I thought I would try and give
some suggestions to any or all who
might think it worth their considera-
tion to read. Of course I will not give
iegrammatioally written letter, but Itending emigrants have already made
iill, in my own illiterate way, give true
nd reliable facts; facts that I have
allied by actual observation and ex.
rience. No doubt the majority of
up their minds to settle somewhere in
tine of the two great prairie countries—
Dakota, or Manitoba and the Northwest
Territory. There is no doubt in my
4wn mind but Manitoba and the North-
west will some day beeome a rich and
prosperous country; but at present
their progress is slow compared with
that of Dakota. Their raitway facili-
ties are not eufficient, and at the rate
they are going ahead with their rail-
way building it ,,vill take a long time
iaefore farmers will have a convenient
arket. Many of them will for years
o come have to go a long distance to
:market, thereby causing them to en-
counter a great many drawbacks and
inconveniences.
With Dakota it is altogether different.
The Northern Pacific Railway is run-
ning right through the centre of the
territory from east to west with branch
connections going in all directions, tap-
ping the numerous other lines south
and east of us, and Lake Superior at
Duluth. Besides the Northern Pa-
cific Railroad, the St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Manitoba Railroad is running north
and northwest, throwing out its bran-
ohds as it goes along at intervals of
about twenty miles apart. There are
also other railroads building through -
but the territory in different directions ;
so that the whole territory is cut up by
'railroads at distances of about twenty
tanles apart from east to west, and
about the same distance apart from
north to south; thus not only giving
the Dakota farmer who now makes
his his home, or all who may hereafter
make it their future home, a direct
and convenient market for their pro-
duce, but it gives them the advantage
bf three or four competing lines of rail-
way, which enables them to get the
bighest market price for their produce
and the cheapest possible rates of tar-
iff. Some may say that in a country
where there are so many railroade,
axes must be higher. This is not the
case. People in this country do not
hond their property to build railroads-,

—News has been received of the mur-
der of Mr. James R. Cook, of Waverly,
Nebraska, formerly of Clinton, and son
of Mr. Andrew Cook, who lived for
many years on the London Road. The
following particulars are from the Lin-
coln Journal :—On the evening of the
18th ult., a number of Men were in the
office of the father of the
murdered Pam engaged in a friendly
conversation, when an argument arose,
concerning the spelling of the word
"Pedlar." The discussion was chiefly
between two men named Raiven, the
murderer, and Carpenter. Raiven
claiming that the word had only one
"d" and Carpenter that it had two.
Mr. Cook, the murdered man, entered.
at thia time, and by common consent
it was left for him to decide, when he
thought that Carpenter was right.
Raiven at once became frantic, and or-
dered Cook out, who refused to go,
when Raiven called him a very hard
name. Cook struck at the scoundrel,
who thereupon drew a revolver and
shot him dead. Intense excitement
prevails in town. The murderer has
been sent to jail, but barely escaped
being lynched. Deceased was about 25
years of age, and was engaged with his
father in carrying on an extensive
lumber and grain business. He was
married only about .a year ago. He
was a brother of Mr. Robert Cook, who
formerly kept hotel in Blyth. He was
also a nephew t Mr, John Kitty, of
Hullett, near Clinton.
—The Exeter Times of last week
says: few days since a warrant was
placed in the hands of constable Gill of
that village, for the arrest of a man
named Kibbie alias Huntingdon, on the
charge of fraudulently obtaining an
order for hay -lifters and carriers, from
Daniel Reith, of Hay. Mr. Gill lost no
time in instituting a search for his man,
who, he soon ascertained. was in the
city of Toronto. The authorities of
that place were comraunicated with and
it was not long before Kibbie was ar-
rested. On the arrival of Mr. Gill. in.
Toronto, on Thursday, he was handed
the prisonenwhorn he brought to Exeter
on Friday evening. On Saturday after-
noon the peisoner was arraigned before
Squires McDonnell,Willis, and McPhil-
lips. The principal witness was D.Reith,
who stated that Kibbie bad come to his
house representing himself 9.8 a member
of the firm of Patterson tk Rabjohu,and
wished him to take an agency for the
sale of a hay -lifter and carrier, as-
serting at the same time that if he
(Reith) accepted it there would be no
other appointed in the township. With
this understanding the necessary papers
were signed by Reith. The evidence of
David Reith was corroborated by. his
father and Alexander Adanasen. It
subsequently transpired, however, that
another agent for the same article had
been appointed kia the township of Hay
by the same man, as well as other
agents appointed by other parties. This
fact aroused Reith's suspicion that
everything was not right, Hence Kib-
bie's arrest. Troyer, the second agent
appoieted by Kibbie, lives near Kippen.
He also appeared in court, and his state-
ment was similar to that made by
Reith, so far as the ageney business was
concerned. Mr. D. French, of Stephen,
who had dealings with Nibble, was call-
ed upon and stated that accused had
come to his house representing himself
to be a member of the film of Patterson
d. Rabjohn, and that he also went by
the name of Huntingdon. Mr. Fran&
said he had taken the agency, and -had
written the above firm concerning Mr.
Huntingdon. He received a reply stat-
ing that they were not ac,quainted with
such a man. As the statements of Mr.
French had no particular bearing on
the case at issue, they were not accept -
as evidence. The magistrates con-
sidering the evidence insufficient rato
