Respecting the_ Seaforth and Clinton .

We doubt Rot, but that at some past time, there has been an occasional ex- - =ception, and that cited above.'by Mr. McMichael, is one of them. `' He. -cer- taiuily shows himself to be a wise mann to take two or three local papers, there- by keeping Himself thoroughly posted. .We, may, take this opportunity of. ail lading to .tlae reniarks of the New Ern,, on .the .artiele to which Mr. McM ich:.c 1 ,refers, The 'Era admits erroneous gnotations• for the'=weekan question, so_ far so good.; but further on it says that ;the admit quoting `Fall Wheat 'at ran doiii, as he says F we had 'no criterion whether -to assign this to an intentional Jnr.-3tatenrent, or .stupidity- on'the part of .the J? a, we know 'not but it evi- dentl •is, fir one of the two reasons,' for what we said was : "For instance, the maximum of ..Fall_ 'Wheat, there quoted is 31.•00, while $1.15 has . been j ccict , for -cin in,/'erto2• quality during - a t eel: the t � , , :Tr. the Editor of. the _Era styles that 3• y sort\of thing rftndom, his definitions of ten rn are unique, -It everting to the above.' communication, the intent - of which apparently is, an encleavor to make out that the • Clinton Market -prices are higher tb an those' of Seaforth, we -would beg td? call attention to the _'ra on that question, who says "If it will please the Itxrosrcon -for us to say that there isgenerallyno"cla fj'erence m the prices paid between the two places, we here say it.

ANIIINIIAN f-IANT.– Quaitryrien at Sauk Rapids, Minn., lately discovered the remains of a human being of gigantic stature, in a grave which had been dug in the solid „rock, and which was seven feet -below the level of the river. From the crown of the head to the sole of the 'foot, the length is ten feet nine arxdE a half inches. The measure exbund the chest is fifty-nine and half inches. The •gant mi ista' nave ' weighed at least 900 pounds when covered with a rea- sonable amount of flesh. The•petrified remains, nothing being left'but naked bones, weighc304k pounds. _ The thumb and - fingers of the left hand, and the left foot from the ankle to the toes,. are gone ; but all the' other -parts are perfect.
