HOW FARMERS MAY GET RICH.

The artificial propagation of fish has attracted much attention of late
years, and the success of experiments has shown that every farmer that has
a stream of water on his land can raise fish enough to get rich in five
years, four months and twenty-one days.

A CASE OF PARALYSIS.

About as mean a trick as we ever heard of was perpetrated by a doctor at
Hudson last Sunday. The victim was a justice of the peace named Evans. Mr.
Evans is a man who has the alfiredest biggest feet east of St. Paul, and
when he gets a new pair of shoes it is an event that has its effect on the
leather market.

Last winter he advertised for sealed proposals to erect a pair of shoes
for him, and when the bids were opened it was found that a local architect
in leather had secured the contract, and after mortgaging his house to a
Milwaukee tannery, and borrowing some money on his diamonds of his
"uncle," John Comstock, who keeps a pawnbrokery there, he broke ground for
the shoes.

foot. As he walked down town the right foot was continually getting on the
left side, and he stumbled over himself, and he felt pains in his feet.
The judge was frightened in a minute. He is afraid of paralysis, all the
boys know it, and when he told a wicked Republican named Spencer how his
feet felt, that degraded man told the judge that it was one of the surest
symptoms of paralysis in the world, and advised him to hunt a doctor.

The judge pranced off, interfering at every step, skinning his
shins, and found Dr. Hoyt. The doctor is one of the worst men in the
world, and when he saw how the shoes were put on he told the judge that
his case was hopeles
