V>' Life 1* not alt bright and free !
A summer’ll gilded dream!
These resile-** heart-throbs, rtU.wUlb*
The pulse of life’s deep agony,
The Index of its mystery,
The changes of its dream!
Pain, oft, is but the price we pay
For uiiiuhooJ'd lingering year* ;
The fitful fever of the day.
Hut wears the spring* of life away;
Or bi .ng», to brood o’er its decay,
The night 01 scalding tears.
To e aim the throbbing brain aud heart
With thoughts of llcav’n alone;
Beyond the aid of human art,
To fold a ruin In the heart
Till all its strings are torn apart,
And yet —and yet—live on.
Oh : what were all life’* heart-throbs worth
If bouudel by the tomb!
Lashed with the vaiu unrc.t of earth,
To know beyond no second birth
When li\ing youth, and fadeless worth
Would know no hour of gloom!
Fate'* football, for life’s fleeting day,
Oli! who would wish to he!
Tiie ip< ri of chance—the surging spray
That crest* one wave of life—to lay
It's foaming bubbles ali away
la dark nonentity *
And who would tempt life’s stormy set,
Without a slur to guide!
Father' I still would come to thee!
As cloud* come darkening o’er my set,
My 1 glit of life in darkiie**, be!

Mi:ssrs. Eoitors :—The election for Del
egates to the Constitutional Convention was
thinly attended, no votes being given except
those in the town, and not all of our towns
men turning out. Not a vote was cast by
tho&e residing out of the village, and as a
matter of course our vote was small.
We polled only one hundred and two
votes'. Of those, our old friend, Col. Cyrus
Aldrich received 99; Hon. Martin McLeod,
95; liev. O. It. Sheldon, 3 ; and It. I*. Kus
sell, 2. For District Delegate, B. E. Messer
got every one—lo 2. The same with K. L.
Bartholomew, who also received 102. Henry
Eshie received just an even l(K). T. D.
Smith, the other nominee on the Republican
ticket, obtained thirty-two votes. John C.
Brunius, ot Carver, had 09.
It is very doubtful whether there was any
other precincts in the county, except Hutch
inson. We had no excitement, and hardly
auy enthusiasm. I suppose because the
Legislature did not see lit to name Glencoe
as one of the points of the railroad, our
candidates thought that we were not worth
the trouble of a visit. We did certainly ex
peet Col. Aldrich, and Mr. Ames, of the St.
Anthony Kiyublican, but they failed, and in
the absence of printed tickets, we voted to
suit ourselves, each one writing out his own
ballot.
Knowing Col. Aldrich, I did all I could for
him. Messer nnd Bartholomew we all knew,
and all of us gave them an unanimous hoist.
Some preferred Mr. Brunius to Smith, and
voted accordingly. The Hon. Mr. McLeod
is one of us, his home being much of the time
here, and we supported him in preference to
theUcv. Mr. Sheldon whom noneo( us knew,
and who did not lake pains to make him elf
known to ns. Un-sell got the 011 L w

It is very strange St. Anthony, Minneapolis,
and St. Paul, should not have made an effort
to secui e the outlets of these great agricul

that is, all of our lands will be taken by an
industrious and enterprising people. This is
our consolation. We have no embryo rail
road within twenty-five miles of us ; that is
—the roads that are to be made by govern
ment lauds. The citizens of this county
will of course attempt to obtain a road from
Hastings or Nininger, and in the meantime
we are thinking seriously of a plank road
from Carver or Henderson.
The crops that are up look remarkably
well. 1 have just finished planting a field of

Glencoe, June 1, 1857.
A .llcans of Counteracting Hljfli Rents.
We reverted at length a day or t\vo since
on the advantages a Building association
would he productive of to all classes of our
city population. The suggestion, we are
glad to say. has been favorably received.—
But it is to be hoped that it will not here
rest. A scheme or movement of so much
real advantage and use to every body, ought
certainly to be carried out. Not only the
capitalist should use his exertions to see it
iu operation, hut every mechunic, clerk, citi
zeu, or laborer, who needs for his iauiily a
neat, comfortable and cheap home, is direct
ly interested in such an enterprise.
It is almost impossible for a married me
chanic, one with no family to provide for, to
pay such rents as are asked here for a shan
ty-tenement of say a couple of rooms. We
knew many who would have made valuable
citizens. aud contributed by enterprise, In
telligent labor and industry, to the wealth
aud prosjterity of our city, who, unable to
support their families at the present prices
of living, and, high rents, have relused to
settle here, or having tried it for a short
time have gone back. These things demand
serious attention from our “leading men,”
the capitalists and house-owners of our city.
How long will it be before an emigration of
artisans and mechanics, that class of all oth
ers invaluable to our growing city; take
place from it? It may occur, and ill betide
the reckless course which shall force them
into such a wholesale exo ius. Let the ad-,
vantages ottered to such settlers be such as
would rather attract them to our city in
st ad of presenting a discouraging picture for
future success when arriving, or drive them
away despairing of it, after a short trial.
We are earnest in forcing this subject on
tuv notice of our readers, because we believe
.. to be of viial importance to al! of our
• itizens. We now present in connection
vk nil tins app al, a few views on the proper
mean.' to he taken to counteract the disas
miir eUcet-t of high rents, and afthrd en
eoiiifciemetit to strangers to make our city
ti eir home.
First. —A Building association, would, ;f
rightly organized, alio: d cheap, neat, roomy
.»n 1 comfortable homes for two or three
thousand more of population, such as would
he contented with a cottage or 6inall dwell
ing, and who would be of value and use to
our city. W'e have, in Thursday’s paper,
given our full v cws on this subject, and need
not repeal them at length. The plan is per
fectly practicable, and will beyond doubt
effect the object designed. The extent we
proposed would about supply the need of
the times. Private building enterprises
would als i keep pace with the transient
demand for room, when this scheme has been
completed. This would give employment to
a great amount of builders and mechanics
and artisans of all kinds. Furnishing the
tenements would create business for the
stores, and in fact all kinds of trades and
business would be benefitted thereby. Nor
would the association interfere with the pri
vate busine? s or contracts of our builders
and architects. With such a forward im
pulse as would be given to business and la
bor by the building of so many houses, and
the employment at good wages of so many
mechanics, the demand for buddings would
be greater.than ever—a heartily and vigorous
growth would commence all over tin* city,
which would always aiford the most rctnu
erative and constant employment to all ar
chitects and builders, inasmuch as year after
year, the character of buildings grows more
and more elegant, costly, and massive. Our
mechanics need not fear, with three such
building associations but what they will have
their hands always full. Its effect on our
city would be magical. Unoccupied and va
cant quarters would he covered with tasty
dwellings. It would give real value to pro
perty. much of which has now a fictitious
valuation put on it. Let us have the Buil
ding Association by all means.
Second: By the building of a few “model
Lodging Houses,” which private enterprise
could do a great many small families would
be provided with cheap and comfortable
homes, which they might not lie able to
procure otherwise. The plan of ' bese bou
ses is so well known to every one who has
lived in the cities of the E st, we need not
describe them here. Private capital would
be sufficient to construct these, and they
certa nly would be remunerative as money
at “three per cent, a month,” provided pre
-ent rates of ren* were charged. Let us
t>ave also a lew “model Lodging Houses.”
Third, We be ntily favor a sngg< -no'ii first
i given m t .e Pioner, of our capitalists, sub-
iviMuii-ownors,and extensive lot owners in
th city, selling lots suitable ft>r erecting
mall dwellings on, to mechanics and arti
sans, at sucii rates and on such easy terms
hat they would be enabled to pay lor them
•ut of the savings of their wages. This is
ceitainly an excellent move and all honor
-uonld la* given to the person who will first
undertake it. By such a course, very ma
ny parts now vacant would Soon be cover
ed with happy, even elegant “homes of the
people.” It would encourage this class to
feel an interest in the prosperity and welfare
of onr city. They would labor zealously to
secure their home—the rum shops or idle
amusements would enaross no more of their
evenings after such an object was offered for
their economy. It would give us a sober,
intelligent and industrious population, which
now, unattached by any consideration to
our city, is but transient and wandering, li
able to an exodus at any time. Let us, then,
have these cheap lots, easy terms of pay
ments. and secure a valuable class of popula-
tion.
We Lave thus at length presented some
{joints of vital interest to our citizens. It re
mains to be seen whether they will carry
out these practical suggestions to a success
ful issue, or whether we will have for sev
eral years yet to lament the short-sighted
policy of our capitalists and property-own
ers, and see the growth of our fair city re
tarded by high rents, scarce house-room,
«tc., when a liberal policy would have insti
tuted a directly opposite state of things.
‘•We drop the picture, and leave the sug
gestions for the action of those whom it may
concern.

Aitttly*U of .Tlluueoota Soil.
The public are indebted to Mr. t\ Whit

Minnesota last summer tor a scientific anal
ysis of Minnesota soil, and which he had
procured at the hands of Dr. Hayes. As

may remark that the specimen was taken
from a gopher hill on the prairie near Lake
Kandiyohi. The water is from lakes in the
same vicinity. We take the account as Mi.

To the Editor* of the Boston Journal:
A great deal has been written about Min

thing very definite about its Now as
this is uno'u stionabjy a very import' nt nut

Hayes, Assayer to the State of Massachu

Central Minnesota, or that part lying be
tween the St. Peter’s River on the South,
and Crow Wing on the North, and extend
ing from the Mississippi on the East to Rig
Stone Lake on the West. This region em
braces the most delightful portion of the
Territory, and is full of the prettiest lakes iu
the world, abounding in fish, and frequented
by innumerable wild fowl. As a general
thing here is plenty of wood land, and the
soil is of the richest description, as the fol
lowing analysis will I think amply demon
strate :
Results of analysis: Sample of soil,

The organic part of this so - !, six per cent, is composed
of humates, cia-nates and gelatinous compounds of lime
with traces of magnesia and phosphates. It is in fact n

thus positively, because I have traversed
that portion of the territory during the past
summer and fall, and carefully noted the
characteristics of the water and soil, and de

so rich as some i might have given him.

Boston, April 17, 1857.
A great many of our citizens suppose that
we residents of Minnesota are the only ones
who are complaining of cold and unseasona
ble weather now. YVe have read over the
weather articles of exchanges from every
place in the length and breadth of the land
and fiml they are all complaining ol the
same thing. Some of the papers in diflbr
ent places say that their farmers have plan
ted over their crops three times, even, and
the cold and wet weather has picvcnted the
seed sprouting. YY'e are not any worse oIT
than our fellow sufferers all over the Union,
every thing here gives promise, of having
good crops, delayed as the season has l>een.
YY'e have seen private letters written near
June first lrom persons in the Middle
States, saying that they were compelled to
sit in their houses with fires, and wear over
coats, while at the same time, the}' were
enjoying such luxuries as strawberries and
cream. Verily we Minnesotians are not so
l ad off after all.

The Chicago Times closes an article on
the subject of Minnesota Railroads, and the
acts of the Legislature in relation thereto,
with the following just and truthful alclu
sion to the future of Minnesota:
“To the most careless observer of the
rapid progress of the North-west, a mere
glance at the map of Minnesota, will be suffi
cient to indicate the incalculable results to
flow from the construction of these roads.—
Minnesota will enter the Union with her lines
of railroad not only laid out, but so substan
tially supported, that their construction is
secured beyond all doubt. The grant of
land secures beyond all doubt the construc
tion of the roads, and the construction of the
roads secures to the people of the new State
a market at their doors. The new State will
come into the Union with her thousands of
miles of railroads under contract. She will
enter the Union with the feebleness of in
fancy, but under circumstances of such pro
progressive development, as has never been
equalled. She can point to the hardy settlor
felling her forests, planting her valleys, and
reaping on her plains. She can point to the
laborers extending the iron roads from her
central points on the Mississippi, up through
the almost unknown regions to the British
line ; to another body of them smoothing the
pathway far off to the West, on the lines
which are to connect the Lakes with the
Pacific ; then to the numerous bands of la
borers building her roads from the Missis
sippi due West, and also North and South.
The future State has well planned her roads
—they point North, North-west, West, and
South-west, and South—with numerous in
tersections, crossings, &c. Minnesota is
covered with a net-work of roads—and in
their construction will grow up a mighty
empire.”
Use the means, and trust in God for the
blessing.

A Max Shot at Fokt Maimsox ht Cait.
Stkax ok thu Stakacek. —The last act of the
tragical career of this unfortunate man seems
to have now commenced. We have at various
times recorded how (lie Saracen was blown on
the rocks at Prescott, on her last trip up. and
had a holt stove iu her hull—how she was
tied up here for debt, the difficulty with the
officers, and lastly, how. on her trip down she
was driven against the llock Island bridge,
and nearly broken into pieces. But the last
unfortunate affair in connexion to her, we Lave
yet to record. We condense the following ac
count from the St. Louis Intelligencer :
At Fort Madison, the Mate got into an al
tercation with a negro waiter in fin* cabin,
when the fellow drew a knife and pursued the
mate. The mate armed himself and returned
to the cabin, when the darkey fled, aud secre
ted himself in a small building ou the wharf.
Some of the crew pursued him. dragged him
out. gave him a sound beating, aud took him
to the boat for the purpose of tieiug him up to
the capstan and lashing him. The crowd on
shore now interfered, declared that the law
should punidi the negro for his attempt on the
life of the mate, and demanded of the crew to
give hint up. This was refused, when a melee
ensued between the mob on the shore and the
crew. Stones, clubs, and brickbats were thrown
on them from shore, and shots fired. The
crowd had increased to several hundred. Cap
tain Strait was hurt by the missiles, the mate
was knocked down by a boulder aud shot also,
and several other of the crew aud passengers
were hurt. Capt. Stran and the mate, with a
passenger or two then tired on them, and
wounded several and killed one of the rioters.
The cable was then cut, aud the boat put up
stream. A telegraph dispute was sent to the
Sheriff of Burlington to arrest him when ho
should land, on charge of murder. Several
thousand people assembled at the wharf, but
Capt. Stran. at the request of the passengers,
who feared trouble did, not land, but kept on
up stream. She turned back, however, at
Muscatine, and went to St. Louis, where a de
spatch warranting the arrest of Capt. Stran
had been sent to the Police.
Wk ca 1 the attention of our readers to the
card of Messrs. Tuttle and l’ratt, in another
column. Any one in want of a splendid l)a
-guerreo'ype, Photograph, or Ambrotype like
ness of himself, wife, sweetheart, or any body
else, has only to call on them. Alt'. Tuttle,
who has been long and favorably known to the
people of St. Paul, has just associated with him
our old friend, Frank 11. Pratt, who. together,
will make one of the most popular firms in the
City.
Mr. Tuttle is a first rate artist in his line,
and gets up the most effective, well executed
and beautiful pictures we have ever seen, aud
which certainly hear comparison to those exe
cuted by artists in the East. It only needs a
call on him and a glance at the well known fa
ces of some of our citizens in his specimen
gallery to convince any one that we have a
No. 1 Artist among us. Those who want a
correct likeness to send to their friends East,
ought to call iu. and get one of Tuttle's highly
finished likenesses. The ladies will find a
splendidly finished waiting room, with a piano,
&e., for their amusemeut, while Frank, is al
ways on hand with his well known politeness
to attend to their calls. Every variety of site

Attkntiox Cavai.kv ! —Capt. Collins of tlu-
St. Paul Light Cavalry, informed us yesterday,
that he received a letter from Philadelphia
where the uniforms for that corps are being
made, that tli*'V would be sent immediately,
Iteing all ready. The uniforms are of the
most tasty and elegant kind. It consists of a
scarlet jacket, with sky-blue collars, and cuffs,
and trimmed with silver. The pants are white,
without any trimmings. The cap is the U. S.
regulation cap. with the letters S. P. L. I. in
front, and a tasty design representing the rose
and :histle. On the whole, this will form a
splendid uniorm. and will certainly set off tfce
company, who are a line looking b«xly of men,
without exception. The Capt. informs ns that
they expect to turn out about fifty horses to
their first parade, on the tenth of this month.
We are sure of a treat, and know that our city
will have reason to be proud of such a company
among us. Hurrah for the cavalry! Draw,

TiiKTimes’ small writer. ‘Nut-Meg,’ ip trying
to draw vs into a Billingsgate controversy
with him. We shan't do it, we are unacquaint
ed with those weapons. We would be in the
same fix as the celebrated Dr. Beecher once was
when he undertook a single handed conflict
with a small animal of the feline race, which
carries strong perfumes. He came off second
best. We are warned by this misfortune of
the Dr. and shan't enter the lists. We have
other things to claim our attention, and deem
such ranting a small business. There are great
interests of community to be ntteuded to. pub
lic welfare to be striven for, the entertainment,
pleasure, and amusement of a large circle of
readers to provide for. None of these ends
will be gained by a war of such abuse as Sat
urday's Times commenced on us. We decline.
As liem. —While wandering forth in the sa
lubrious evening air on Saturday, in company
with the 10-quel of the Times, that individual
quoth that the dimensions of a certain building
on Third street, were 14 feet front. We re
torted by asserting 12. He denied indignantly.
We insisted positively. t lie contradicted vehe
mently. We maintained it immovably. He
argued; we laughed, until dually, on actually
measuring it, it was found to be 13 feet two in
ches. We caved in, having been beat two
inches. However, said 10-quel, being a Yan
kee, is of course a better guesser than we—an
exclusively western man.
The Prairie du Chien and Milwaukee Route,
and the Lake shore, and N. Y. and Erie Rail
roads. are the most popular ways now of going
East. Nearly every body takes that way, and
thereby save 24 hours in the trip. Passengers
are arriving every day by that route, only 3 1-2

by civil law for the alleged crime, but now,

sult of the affair, officer Garity demanded pay
for executing the warrant, aud the Squires usu
al fees, «ke. Cavener made light of the mat
ter, said he had gained hi* cuds, aud that Gar
ity and Esq. Gibbs might whistle for their fees,
&c. Thinking from his manner that there
might be some foul play on Caveuer’s part,
yesterday Garrity visited Mendota, and had an
interview with the woman. From her he suc
ceeded iu drawing such confessions as to show
that the charge of larceny was but a sham, iu
order to procure the release of the deserter
from martial law, aud atl'ord him a uew oppor
tunity to escape. w
Garity then proceeded to the Fort, and with
theCaptaiu of the company to which the de
serter belonged, examined him in regard to the
alleged stealing. He freely admitted that he
took the watch; did not deny it; but said he
did not steal it: being on intimate terms with
the family, he merely took it. The value of
the watch doesn't amount to .">0 cents.
Thus th< ' case rests. It was evidently a plot
to rescue the soldier, aij(J allow him chance to
escape. Ail effort will be made to try Caven
er for perjury, of which, it accounts we heard
can be relied on, he will be convicted of. If
convicted, he certainly deserves severe pun
ishment.
Terrific Hurricane at White Dear Lake.
—Tbe storm on Sunday, which visited our city
so severely, also did great damage in different
parts of the country. At White Bear Lake,
twelve miles from Saint Paul, it amounted to
a perfect tornado, which, theugh we believe no
lives were lost, did considerable damage to the
pleasure seekers in that favorite spot.
A party of eight of our citizens went out
early in the morning, for a day's fishing, and
arrived there about 7 o'clock. After break
fast, tw o sail boats were manned, and during
the forenoon, which was warm and pleasant,
tbe partyjbad excellent success. They went to
dinner, and returned again to the boats. A
Blight breeze ruffled the bosom of the lake—
there were several hundred persons on, and
around the lake, and having a good wind, the
party spread sail, and had an exciting race.—
Engrossed in this, they scarcely noticed the
change in the elements. The lake became
calm—the breeze died away, the air grew still
and oppressive, and in the distance the sullen
mulleting of the coming storm warned them
of the approaching danger. Instantly, before
they could use their oars, it burst upon them
with a roar like “the voice of many waters."
The waves ran a dozen feet high, and the air
was filled with a spray and foam, and rain. It
was impossible to see ten leet ahead. Running
before the hurricane, in imminent danger of
swamping every gust, they reached an island,
as l ley supposed, while the boats were wrecked
oa the shore, and went down. Most of them
were only in their shirt sleeves, and pants,
and barefoot, having lost the rest of their cloth
ing. Here, crouching uml< r a low bank, cold,
half clothed, wet and shivering, they remained
several hours, exposed to the merciless fury of
the hurricane, and the driving, blinding rain.
The tornado is described as being ayfuL It
twisted large trees off at the roots, and hurled
them through the air. Some points running
down into the Lake, were stripped almost bare
of timber. The water was full of sticks and
limbs blown from the shore. Two buildings of
Lamb's were blowi> down, and other property
along the lake injured.
After the storm had somewhat abated, they
began to look around to see where they had
been driven to. They first supposed that they
were on an island, but after walking a long
distance, they crossed a peninsula aud got on
ihe main shore, several miles from Lamb's
Hotel, where they had started from. They hud
to traverse nil this distance on foot, part of it
after night, some of them barefooted ami only
half clothed. They got to Lamb's long after
dark in miserable plight. That gentleman im
mediately got them some warm refreshments.
built u tiro, and gave them dry clothes from
his own wardroU;. Here ih;*y got their teams,
and the whole party arrived in St. I’aul about
midnight.
It is feared that some were nut so fortunate
in escaping as this party. Two or three per
sons had not returned when they left Lamb's
though it is hoped they had taken shelter in
some house.
Ncijaxce. —We call the attention of the
Third Yard Police, to the fact of bathers se
lecting the upper levee as a place to practice
aquati< sports. Yesterday, a gentleman tells
us, a number of grown men were bathing right
alongside of the ferry landing in broad day
light, -while ladies and theit families were
coming across to church. We believe bathing
to be % benefioial custom—would encourage
some of the unwashed million to practice it;
but if their households are not extensive
enough to allow them a bath room, let them
seek some more retired spot on the river, and
not offend decent peopli* by indecent exposure.
Ti * Pradixq. —Third street. between Min
nesota and Roberts is now a silent and quiet
thoroughfare, so contrasted with its former
bustle and throng. The ugly hole made at the
crossing has scared most folks away. We
hardly recognised the place Saturday. Why
can't the grading be hurried up, so as to stop
business as little as possible? No person was
at work there at all on Saturday.
Larcent.—Saturday last, a man was en
gaged in peddling some jewelry about town,
which was part of a stolen lot. Officer Phil
srown soon got on his track, ferreted the
scamp out. and took him to the Police Court!
He was tried, but for want of proper evidence,
was discharged.
Laoiks Names.—One who pretends to know,
says: "Ladies should have hut one given
name, and when they are married, .should re
tain their maiden naiue. This is a practice
i among th ■ Society of Friends, and, were it
' generally adopted would have many advan
! tages. iVe should know at once, on seeing a
lady's name, whether she was married or sin
gle. and if the former, what the name of her
family was.— Exchange.
That's a cool no-such thing. It wouldn't
| “have many advantages."’ at all. There would
| be a thousand mistakes made in consequence.
; We once was so unfortunate as to be that most
abused, unthanked, frying-to please-every body
person, a l’ost office clerk ; and in common with
our coadjutors, used to have a perfect horror,
1 we may say, of ‘•female letters’’ with only one
1 given name. It was an every day occurrence,
nearly, to get an awful blowing-up from some
amiable, sweet tongued charmer, because we
i had given her letter to some other female of her
name, and it had been returned opened. Many
| were the difficulties we poor fellow* got into.
! Mauy the cowhidings. law suits, publishings.
&c. we were threatened with, because we let
! “that other thing" have somebody"* letter.—
We always stood in fear of some aggrieved
one’s big brother, beau, fancy-man, or other
i champion, for our “careless mistakes,” when
! we. poor fellows, did the best we could, and
• couldn't help the fact that five women had the
same name, and four of them held correspond
, euce of rather a. doubtful nature. Tle refor *
we protest against the idea of only bestowing
one name on a woman. Give ’em four or five
, unusual, and singular as possible, names apiece,
i and there will be uo fear of mistakes.
Meax.vess.— While the party whose adven
j ture we have recorded in another plae-- were
i returning around White Bear Lake on Sunday
; night, twocr three of them stopped at a house.
I and asked for some refreshments, as they were
tired and cold. The man of the place iuquired
i how they came in the plight, and on learning
: of tin; aceident refused them anything, saying
i “served you right—had no business to go tish
' tag on Sunday—go way from here." The
! gentlemen left disgusted with his inhumanity,
as it was cruel to have turned a dog out in such
a storm, let alone refuse a fellow being the sa
| cred right of hospitality. But. we blush for
shame to say it—there arc such creatures to be
| found iu the world, who have uo idea of kind*
; ness or generosity. To show hospitality to the
stranger is ayo i'ri/figr, a duty. Barbarous na
j tiomi even consider it an omen of good luck to
: have a stranger repose beneath their rools : the
I needy wanderer is treated with sacred kind
ness. We wish we had the name of the cur
mudgeon who turned them off with such an in
! suit. We would like to publish bis hideous
; meanness so plaiu that all white men would
avoid him like an adder.
Suicide ry Poisox. —On Saturday night, aft
Irishman named P. B. Creesey. who resided on
Robert street, back of Forbes Kittson's old
corner, committed suicide by taking laudanum,
from the effects of which he died on Sunday
morning. Domestic difficulties, we ar" told,
was the cause of it. Poor fellow: dou’t be

It is Haiti be had l>eeu ou a “spree” the day

Some Races came off on Saturday afternoon,
on the ••Hunting i'ark Course.” We were un
able to be present, and no one ha; furnished us
with the particulars. So we can give no infor
mation in regard to it.
Thk llaii. Stokm,-—St. I‘uul was visited by
one of the fiercest bail storms on Sunday af
ternoon, we Lave ever witnessed. Hailstone*
fell in this city, the size of hens ejrjjs. Some
wc sow wore 1 12 inches iu length, ami some
were four inches in circumference! St. I'nul
chu boast of her No. 1 hail siorms after this, ns
well as other tlnngi of greatness. No damage
was done of any account, that we Lave beard,
exoept the breaking of some panes o! glass.
The storm lasted only a few minutes.
The New Post Ohh.e —We visited the new
Post office yesterday morning, and were grati
fied at the roomy and comfortable air which
seems to pervade the arrangements theie. The
glass bo>;c; are now nearly done. They will
number nearly 3000. There are about 300 lock
boxes, of various sizes, and the whole arrange
ments are of the most model kind. We are at
last to have a I’ost office of suitable kiud aud
character, and large enough to accommodate
our whole public. We are told that there are
twenty applications a day for boxos tu the old
P. O. but none to give them. We guess that
there will ho no difficulty iu that matter now.
3.300 boxes! whew! Why, the Cincinnati P.
(). a year ago had not any more than that.—
Verily, St. Paul is a great settlement.
Tiik Wiiaf.iack IHks. —Tlic steamboatmen
complain bitterly of the high wharfage dues
which onr city compels them to pay. It will
end in driving them away finally. .Some are
already intending to withdraw from the trade.
At Ifubtique, the wharfage dues for a boat the
the size and tonnuge of the Golden Era. is
$3,00. ilerc.it is fire times that amount. —
We are sure such a course will profit the city
nothing. The steamboat trade has done much
—everything almost, to build up this city, and
the North West. Tlieu encourage it rather
thau drive it away.
Potato diuuinu by Machinery. —Every
one who has dug potatoes, and felt the back
breaking, head aching trials which accom
pany the tedious process will feel a bound of
pleasure on learning that Yankee ingenuity
promises to supercede by machinery the af
fective labor of gathering this important
harvest. Capt. Taggart, of Roxbury, has
patented a simple contrivance for the pur
pose, which an agricultural house in Utica
is about to carry into practical use. It is a
plough-shaped machine, with a double set of
revolving nictal fingers, which take up the
the favorite fruit, winnow them from the
earth, and deposit them in baskets hung on
each side, or in a couple of rows upon the
earth. With a pair of horses, a roan it is
calculated, a man it is calculated, can dig
from six to ten acres per day. We shall
watch with curiosity the result of a trial of
this very useful invention. It will work a
very important revolution in potato digging,
if successful.

Dr. Theodore Parker gets ofFthe Allow
ing in one of his sermons. No wetter how
he may be regarded in the light of a Detfne,
he do**' certainly get off some surprising
sensible things once in a while. He hits
some.of the Bostonians a hard “dig” in this
selection we give:
t- • When you say you wish Christianity
; qpuld fret preached and practised ail room!
I the wot Id, thereby you do not mean the
Christianity of Dr. BeeJier of Dr. Way
-1 iand, ot Calvin or Luther; you mean the
ideal piety and morality which mankind
anus at. But when the Rev. Dr. Dam baby
speaks of Brother Zeruhhabel Zeai< us as a
. frreat Christian, he means no such thing.—
1 lie means that Zer° bbabel has been bap
tised—sprinkled or dipped—that be believes
, in tlie Trinity, in the infallible inspiration of
t every word in the Bible, that he believes in
J the total depravity of human nature, in tbo
I atonement, in an omnipotent devil , going
i about a* a roaring lion., and eternally champ
ing in his insatiable mouth nine hundred and
ninety-nine out of every thousands while
! Cod and Christ, anti the holy Ghost, can
i only succeed in saving one out of a thousand
■ —perhaps one out ol a million.
Dambaby reckons him a Christian, be-
I cause lie has i»ecn “bom again*’ put “off tbo
natural man,"’—that is, made away with his
: common sense and common humanity, so
' far as to believe these absurd things, drawn
I down to the corners of his mouth, attends
; theological meetings, makes long prayers,
! reads books of iiis sect, gives money fcr ec
! clesiastical objects, ajtd pays attention toec
; clesiastical forms, lie does not think old
i Mr. Goodness’ long life of industry, teiuper
j ince, charity, patriotism, justice, brotherly
| love profits him at all. lie is only an uuie
| generate, impenitent man. who trusts in his
' own righteousness, leans on an arm of flesh,
: has not been bom but once, and will cer
! tainiy perish everlastingly. It is certainly
! of no sort of consequence that Zerubbabel is
> a sharper, has a ship in the coolie trade, and
! is building swift clippers down in Maine to
| engage in the African slave trade us soon as
i the American government closes that little
I corner of its left eye, which it will keep
. open to look after that.
Old Mr. Goodness’s “righteousness” is re
j garded as ••filthy rags,” while Zerubbabel’*
; long face and long prayers are held to be a
! ticket entitling him to the very highest seat
’in the kingdom of Heaven. At the month
ly concert for Foreign Missions the Rev. Dr.
j leads in prayer, and brother Zerubbabel fol-
I lows. Both ask tiic same thing—the Chris
i tiani/ation of heathen land; but they do not
! mean that form of Christian religion which ia
piety in the heart and morality in the outer
life. They mean compliance with the popu
lar theology, not the Christian religion pro
claimed in tiiose grand words, “Thou ahalt
love the Lord thy God with ail thy heart,
and thy neighbor as thyself,” and illustrated
by a life as grand as the words.

Price* of Western Farming Land*.
If wo supposed that high prices of land
were an essential and ncessary part of the
prosperity of the North-west, we would
gladly join our neighbors in the attend • to
multiply those prices as often as pt
Hut as we hold that the value of
tions, measured in dollars and cents i
tme guage, of a State’s prosperity
prices of land are arbitrary and may
creased or diminished, once a year or * ■».
a day, and the State be no richer or j
by the operation, provided always tba
increase or the diminution is genera.
< a mot see the necessity or utility of
movement that encourages and extends
speculating mania with which the people
tue North-West are possessed. As we ha u
In-fore said, there are at least sixty millions
>f ncres of laud now on the market, in sec
ond or third hands, all held for speculative
purposes. As wild land, merely, it is good
for nothing; it cannot be eaten or drunk; it
it will keep nobody warm; it cannot lie sent
where the supply is not equal to the de
mand. Its value is in its capability of pro
duction; and until it has been brought un
d r the plow and bears a crop, it -haa but
little more commeicial worth than so many
leagues of desert or so many square miles
>f thin air. Whatever retards its cultiva
tion—whether the cause be h'gh prices ask
ed lor it per acre, or its distance from settle
ment 01 market—is a positive injury to the
country and is to be deprecated. And here
in is one of the Jeasons why we complain
of the existing state of affairs in the West.
Present prices do not invite emigration to
parts contiguous to a market. The coming
thousands, nine-tenths of whom bring little
but wealth of muscle, are forced to such
distances from commercial centres that their
labor is eaten up bv the cost of carriage of
its products to a place of sale, while the
lands near railroads or navigable waters are
run over and left unoccupied.
Tlie last Mormon Hegira Departure of
IVormons from Illinois.
The Mormons of Alton have about all
left, “baps and baggage,” for the Upper Mis
souri, thence to take their weary march
across the Plains. The most of them intend
to go to a new region of the Salt Lake coun
try, some 200 miles from the Great City—to
“the wilderness,” as they term it—and there
found a new town. A small number, only,
go to the city of Brigham YouDg. The lat
ter band started from here one month later
than the Former. At New Florence, a town
near St. Joseph, they are to be organized in
to companies, each two or three persons to
one hand-cart, and with some ox teams fol
lowing, to carry the heavy luggage, and the
aged and feeble; they set off upon their
march as soon as the 6pring weather per
mits. We are unable to state precisely how
many persons or families have thus left our
city, but have heard them estimated at 120
souls, and 6ome 25 families. There is a
large emigration this Spring of people who
have lived in the various States during the
Winter past, and whose eyes should have
been opened somewhat to the real state of
things in Utah— Alton Courier, May 20th.
The Weather and the Crops,
When the weather is considered in rela
tion to the harvest, it becomes something
more important than the subject of mere
idle gossip. If propitious, the granaries will
overflow next autumn thus insuring abun
dance to the great hnman multitude and
their dependent animals; if untoward, there
would bo general scarcity, perhaps partial
famine throughout the land. The benefi
cent working together of the elements du
ring the lost eight or ten days, therefore,
has imparted a glow of cheerfulness to all
faces; for in addition to the pleasure ohich
every one experiences from the alternations
of sunshine and shower, of bright and cloudy
skies, there comes the cheerful reflection that
the crops are coining on apace under their
benign influence. nd truly, we could not
wish for more favorable weatbfer for them
than has prevailed during the period speci
fied. The frequent showers have furnished
an abundance of moistare, but too much;
it has not been very warm, but still warm
cn-uigh to favor a healthy and rapid Vegeta
ion. And wliat is true of the citv'and vi
cinity, is »me also of the Northwest, so far
as our information extends. While the
farmers rejo ce in the cheering prospects of
an abundant harvest, the whole people have
reason to be glad. —Chicago Dem. Preu.
