It contained but about $100, though on the previous trip the driver bad carried $3,000 —the highwayman having undoubtedly been one day short in bis calculations. The robber was tracked to Alexandria, and ar rested there in a ealooa, by Sheriff Jung roth. The man, who gave his name as Mc Naughton, resisted the offioer, and while in the act of drawing his revolver, the sheriff shot him through the light lucg.

I YE NOBLE SAVAOC DAKCSTH.—On Mon- day evening "Drum-Beater's" party o' Chippewa Indians came up from St Paul, and on Tuesday they indulged in a war dance on Washington Avenue, in front of the West House. Two aborigines, whose musical abilities had been wonderfully developed, pounded vigorously on a buck skin drum and a tin pan, while a third, with equal ability aud muscle, jingled a string of tleigh bells. Roused by these soul-inspiring sounds, (he balance of thewhich party hopped around in a circle, kiyied, and whooped in a style that would have warmed the soule of Eastern admirers of the "dusky sons of the forest" for the bal ance of their lives. At the close of the performance, one shrewd old "Lo" passed around and collided what ehoneaiu be could from the crowd.

SABBATH SCHOOL MATTER .—The Sab- bat Schools of this pace, of which there are four, are all in a flourishing condition Tbe rolls show a lar eaitendance. Three of the schools give, on certain evenings, concerts, at which the children sing and re cite verses, and remarks are made by differ ent persous. These concerts are so unanged as njt to conflict with each other—coming one in each month or alternate month. Ou last Sabbath evening was the regular bi monthly co'cer of the Presbyterian school, and the church was crowded to Its utmost capaoity, many persons not being able to obtain admittance. The exercises were about as usual—singing and recitations by the children, and brief remarks by Rev. Satterlee, of tbe M. E. church, and Rev. Campbell, of the Presbyterian. We gath er the following items from an interesting report made by Mr. R. D. Bloomfield, Secretary of the school No. of names on roll, 136 No. of names at last report, lz6 There are 3 officers 11 teachers, and 122 scholars.

Wing is HgentutSt. Cloud, for the Marsh Harvest er. DISGUSTING SIGHT.—Oa Tuesday, Geo. M. Hanson and Loreua Peterson, of Tw» itiverg, came to town and were duly joined in wedlock by Justice Barnes, for the stipulated sum of $2. The balance of the fees (the privilege of kissing the bride) the Justice generously yielded to the wit nesses. In the excesa of their joy, the couple got drunk in the afternoon,— the blushing bide perambulating around minus a bonnet—until they were taken care of. It was a disgusting sight. GOLD PEES.—Tobey ft Mitchell have now on head anew supply of the celebra ted John Foley gold pene, with telescope and office-desk holders.

A PLACE roa EVERYTHING, AND EVBET THING IS ITS PLACE.—We should eay this was the motto of Spieer ft Carlisle, for they have almost everything in their furni ture warerooms that can be found in the State, and everything is certainly in its proper place. They have eome as nioely gotten up chamber sets as we ever saw, with three marble pieces to each set, and they are nicely finished. This firm has a Koori class of parlor and dining-room furni ture, as well as a large stock of the more common grades, which they manufacture for the wholesale trade. FBBSU ARRIVAL J. W.

Farmers un derstand that he keeps all the best ma chines, and as he is a "square man" to do business with, they come directly to hispresent warerooms. He is receiving implements by the car load, aud sells them about as fast as they arrive. Groveuor's warerooms are the busiest place it the country. ATTENTION.—W.

A in I a I a a A S to CLEARWATEE,"June 25tb, 1871. EDITOR JOURNAL.—The rains of tho past week have started all the small grain crops growing at an unusual rate for any place except Minnesota. Fears were en tertained that the early wheat would be about a failure, owing to the "hot term" in May, but the prospects are much im proved. Corn, also, is lookiug finely. If cool weather continues, for a few weeks there will be mo're grain than last year in this vicinity. The clay grounds around Big Lake and in the woods south and *outh east, suffered much more than the more sandy prairies, during the drought. Mrs.Oyster'8 team ran away the other day and smashed the wagon up some,, and lamed the horses quite severely. Nobody hurt. Some boys were wrestling, and Charles Conliffhad his arm broken by a larger boy stepping on it. Boys of six are better off out of a crowd of wrestlers generally. Tbe material for the new school hou«e is neatly all on the ground, and it is expected that work will be begun on the building on Monday morning next. Mr Gullett's elegant residence is nearly completed, Mr. J. F, Fuller has built aa addition to hiscovery house, and C. H. Vorse is building. James Cummins has completed anr1 removed to his new harness shop, and the irrepressible John Kirk is building a large two-story building, the lower part to be a harness shop and tbe upper a public hall. You will see by the above that Clearwater has really taken a start forward. It has never had a violent fever, like seme towns, to be fol lowed by as violent a chill, but. has gone ou the even tenor of its way, growing with slow, but healthy growth. The amount ot lumber used .this year•• in the adjoining country, gives it more than its usual busi ness in that, line Farmers are beginning to build barns more than they have, not be cause they recognize the ueei of them any more, but because they are better' able to pay for them.. Is there any thing a farmer can better afford to get in debt for than a barn The day of log hovels covered withetrxw has gone by, except on the frontier, and the ghosts of- old reapers and mowers, and the spectres of decayed "Buckeye Drills" and horse rakes,. must be continually haunting their .owners, urg ing to the necessity for more buildiagt-. Improvements in stock are also beginning to show themselves A. B. -Greeley, ot Maine Prairie, (we call him ."Gus," for short,) stands head and. shoulders abov? his compeers, if we measure by his earnest efforts in that line of -improvement. Hi* famed, bull, 8d Duke of Kentucky, attracts no little attention. Roswell Adley, of Ot ter Tail county, bought a yearling bull of Mr. Greeley this summer which weighed nearly one thousand'pounds. "How is that for high T" (as Oliver Cromwell 3aid in his oration over the dead body of John Buayan) Can Bill King do any better "Gus" has also a pair, of splendid Lieces ter sheep, and a ,marked improvement in this year's crop of lambs is the result. A few dozen Such men, and our wool crop will not be as short as this year, and we will revel in mutton chops and roast lamb. If you have a fair this'fall, "Gus" will take some premiums or I mistake.'So mote it bo. LOGOS. MEEKER. COUNT!. a a a it a a Recent rains have improved the crop prospects, although less than an. average crop will be raised, as the rain came rather late in the day. A poor and ignorant laboring man sued a college-bred farmer last week for wages. The latter's wifoals said to have snee'ingly remarked, before the trial, "What an ab surd idea for a rough-scuff like A. to sue a college-bred gentleman like ,my hus band The sequel shows a judgment of about $40 and costs in favor of the "rough scuff." What are known as "speculators'" lands" are BOW held at very reasonable figures in Meeker county,' from $3 to $15 an acre be ing asked, according to location, quality, etc. When such is tho'-case, it appears to me poor economy in emigrants to go from oneto two hundred miles farther west. Wkat they gain thus in getting land a. trifl, cheaper they lose twice over in markets, freights, schools, churches, and all the comforui of a, comparatively old stttled part of the State. It is hard to tell what the political ten dencies of Meeker county are,, except that (hey ere Republican. The rivalries of heal politicians are suoh that rosslbly there may not be the greatest harmony, rom casual observations I think Gov. Austin is not held in very affectionate retard by the body of voters. But unless some competitor appears Wn6 is well known and who commands respect and strength with out any artificial working of wires in his favor, Austin will probably get the delega tion from this county.' People prefer a man they know, even with eome defects, to some "What Uit?" who* will have to be tested in all respects. Whatever may be said of Austin, he seems to be outspoken and positive. J. M. Howard, of Central Illinois, is here thinking of locating as an Attorney. He is a recent graduate of a law school. With five lawyers in our village already, it looks a little as if it would be slow progress (financially, at least,) that another without experience would make. But there is" nothing like trying, and it don't make very much difference where a competent man in any profession locales, he is certain at least to make a living.

Their stock, to describe it briefly, is oom)de*te, and judging from the display of books, we should think almost, any use ful or popular volume conld be found on their shelves.' One] side of their store is occupied with fancy goods, so extensive in variety that it would be safe to inquire or send after anything in that line. Messrs. Tobey & Mitohell are very pleasant gentle men to deal with, and are establishing an extensive jobbing business among many retail dealers in Northern Minnesota. Their figures on stationery are as low as can be obtained at any jobbing establishment in the State.
