"Tr"-,!,,: A test suit has neen brought by a; farmer evicted from the Des Moines I River lands in Iowa to recover from the land owners the value of im provements made on the land dur- ing opcupancv. It is estimated that the improvements are worth at least i per acre on the 9.",00.) acres of iaim irom wnien parties nave been evicted. The latest estimate of the loss by the Marblehead fire is 800,000. The buildingsdestroyed number 37,many of which were factories, and 1,000 j persons are out of employment.

Illustrative. of the progress that the new South is making is the wonderful growth of such towns as Brunswick, in George. Porja hun dred years it slept placidly as a hamlet, but now has suddenly de veloped as a bustling town, with the making of a thrifty city in it. Its population has jumped to 12,000, and though 4,000 bales of cotton was considered big shipments for it three or four 3-ears ago, it will ship 150.000 bales this season. - There was no ice in the Mississ ippi River on Christmas Day and the young folks of Winona, Minn., adopted a novel expedient, for the season, in the way of a good time. An account says: At 3 o'clock this afternoon a long procession of young men, each with a lady at his side, marched from the postofh'ee to the dock of the steamer Vangorden, preceded by the Gate City Blind. Each of the paraders was armed with a fan and wore a linen duster and straw hat. At 4 o'clock began the most novel scene of halt a century. A steamboat ex cursion on the upper, Mississippi on Christmas Day! The steamer ran up to Fountain City, where the pop 1 a - . ulation turned out en masse to weH come the excursionists.
