CITY ITEMS. Accident on tub St. Anthony Road.— On the passage of the afternoon 6tage from St. Paul to St. Anthony, so says the .Vci cs, the driver turned up by instinct before the door of tho Roseville House, threw down the reins, leaped from his box, and disappeared to * wot his whistle,’’ The four horses, being Temperance animals, took advantage of the license and started on a dead run towards St. Anthony. The vehicle was a Coucord Stage Coach, and contained five passengers—a wo man and four men. Before the fugitives had attained their highest speed three of the men jumped out at the imminent risk of their lives. Mr. Richardson, of the Cataract House, being considerably injured. The lady aud Mr. N. Kellogg of this city remained in tho coach. The speed of the horses is described as terrible. They straiued every muscle, and flew like the wiud ; now in tho road, now out of it, now gliding along by the fence, and now sweeping at'raudora across the field, leaping over rocks and vaulting chasms, —the helpless coach reeling, plunging and thunder ing after them, and tho baggage scattering for rods on both sides of the track. In this way they ran about two miles wheu, in descending the hill on a full run, near the house of D. A. J. Baker, they came in col lision with a load of llour. On encountering it, the leaders parted, the wheel-horses got otf the way somehow, and the coach struck the load, staving in barrels of flour, snapping the pole in three pieces, breaking the reach, and, of course, disabling the whole concern. The passengers escaped with their lives bare ly, aud tho impudent driver on coming up, cursed them through the whole scale of his Impious blasphemy aud threatened to “whip" one of them, because they presumed to com plain of his carelesssness and inefficiency ! Is such wanton recklessness, continues the AViw, such insufferable insolence and imbecil ity. at the expense of life, to be longer pat ronized by our citizeus ? Fire—A Dwelling House Burned.— On Saturday evening last, about niue o’clock, a lire broke out in an incompleted dwelling house belonging to A. Vance Brown, Esq., near his present residence, in the viciuity of the College in upper-town. The building was a two story stone house, but wa3 hardly ready for occupancy, as tho carpenters were still at work. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary, as no one occupied the building at the time of the fire. The loss cannot be more than eight or niue hun dred dollars, we are told. Hope Engine Co., No. 1 were on hand with their usual promptness, in full force, and ren dered all the aid possible in putting out the fire. Coot —A gentleman with a new pair of boots slipped up on the sidewalk a few days since. An observer behind him remarked,’ ‘•lts rather slippery.” “Yes, damn slippery,’ ejaculated the victim of new leather.— ’Halts. Ha ! ha ! splendid joke, that ; but no one can discover the pint, unless said pint had an intimate connection with the perpetrator Where “does the laugh come in.” Pray, good Mr. Tints, don't, oh don’t bo so fun ny. Publish the key, won’t you ? A Complimentary Notice. —Our readers will remember a theatrical company which performed in a barn on the corner of Fourth and St Peters streets, last fall. They left here owing quite a sum : among others sun dry printers were gouged quite handsomely. They turned up at Hudson, Wis., a week or two since, under the name of “Wood’s Va rieties.” The Chronicle thus puffs them : This theatrical company was in town last week, and after playing several evenings to “delighted audiences, ’’ wound up last Wednes day with a “grand farce." These traveling companies, are, with few exceptions, a curse to the citizens of any place in which they tarry. They humbug the people at large— cheat their landlords—cheat their printers, aud create trouble generally. Such a one is this, called “Wood's Varieties.” The denoument was a startling one, and might have been a tragic one. On the fol lowing Tuesday, a daughter of Mr. Prit chard of Lakeland, eloped with an individual named Lovett, a member of the company, who is well known here. Miss Pritchard bad previously been a member of the so-called “National Troupe,” a theatrical company, composed mostly of persons residing there, and got up as a local institution for the amusement of the citizens. She is only about fifteen years of age, and there is every reason to believe that the vil lain who enticed her away, was actuated by none but tho basest motives. The parties were pursued aud overtaken at Prescott, and the girl taken back to her parents. So the base designs of the talented actor were frus trated. Rf.duction in the Police Force. —The police force of our city has beeu reduced still further, predicated, no doubt, on the moral state of the city, as exhibited by the lack of business at the Police Court. The force will consist of only niue privates, hereafter. These are divided iuto uiglit and day police, under the commands respectively of Capt. Geo. Morton, who is a host himself, and bis able Lieut. Jobu P. Kilroy. Nearly a fire. —On Suuday evening af ter closing the paper, a fire broke out iu the dwelling occupied on the lower floor by Ful ler & Mcndelson’s Clothing Store, aud ab ovc by a Daguerreian Gallery. The origin of the fire was a defective chimney which has before hazarded the safety of the building, on one or two occasions. The fire was put out without much difficulty, causing more fright than damage. Wo would enquire, en pdssaut, if it is not the lire warden’s duty to examine such prem ises, and cause defective flues, badly construc ted chimneys, and such dangcrons places to be fixed up properly ? Were this done, we would hear of fewer fires, and less alarms. New Express. —We learn that J. 0. Bur bank, Esq. will, on Monday next, start a dai ly express and passenger line of sleighs from St Paul to Prairie du Chien, to run during the suspension of navigation. Mr. B. has procured a full compliment of excellent and elegant sleighs, newly built, well covered and protected against the cold, lined and cushioned and lacking nothing that can con duce to the comfort of passengers. Fare, sl6. Of course every one wanting to go East will take notice. The Weather yesterday was of the most pleasant description, and the first we have had since winter commenced. The sun shone bright, and the walking was excellent, Only one thing remained to complete the en joyment which everybody manifested,—and that was a lack of good sleighing. Wheeled vehicles have not yet been stowed into win ter quarters. TERRITORIAL NEWS. Wiuoua Co. Item*. On Suuday morning, the tifteeutb, a frame building iu Wiuoua,known once as the “Pio neer Saloon” now occupied as a baru, was consumed by fire, and two horses stabled a third therein were burned to death— one escaped. They belonged to Mr. Mobley, whoso loss is about $2,000. A per son was arrested on charge of having set it on fire, not was discharged on examina tion. It has been reported in Winona that Richard Toner, formerly a resident of that place, and recently imprisoned in thePeuitcn tiary at Stillwater, for committing a murder in Blue Earth county, was hung by a mob a few days ago, after having attempted to es cape. Also, that Thiessen, the murderer of Burket, has escaped from prison. Should not wonder at all ; its just like them. The Wiuona Republican says they are still rejoiciug in open navigation there anil adds that almost every packet from below during the past week, has landed several families at that place, immigrants from the east. The Northwestern Express Company put ashore at that point on Saturday, two hand some aud comfortable sleighs, which they design to run between Prairie du Chien and Winona during the winter. They will make three trips per week. The Chinese Scgar Cane. —J. Gray, of Warren, informs the Winona Republican that he has manufactured several gallons of molas es from the cane, and it is his opinion that for the manufacture of syrup, it will be a very profitable crop in Minnesota. Two or three other farmers in thesame neighborhood have also produced considerable quantities of syr up, and concur in expressing a high opinion of the sugar cane as an article of domestic cul ture. The Temperance movement is gaining ground everywhere in this Territory. The total abstinence Society calling themselves “Good Templars”—no doubt because engag ed in a crusade against a great evil—are being formed everywhere, among the male and fe male population. A large society might be formed even iu St. Paul, but as yet we know of nothing of the kind having been done. The Rochester Democrat gives a long list of business houses, anil fine residences, shops, itc., most of them being built of stone, which have been built during the last season. The Rochester Democrat is another paper we fail to receive any more—why, we don’t know. Going East. —The same paper thus con soles those who “cant get away’’ last to spend the winter among their friends— Those who, either from choice or necessity remain, have the consolation of knowing that despite the rigor ofour northern whiter clime there is much to be enjoyed even here. In deed, a year or two hence, wheu all the com forts of old eastern homes shall have been gathered around us, and the ties which bind us to our adopted State grow stronger and more intricate, but very few will even think of going oast to spend the winter. Little Falls. —The Herald says a corps of men was organised a few days since to complete the bridge across the river. It is already built to the island, and a good job. The new race is so far completed, that the water has been lc-t in, thereby supplying the large three story Hash and Door Factory of Messrs. Morse & Kennedy, the coining win ter. Tiie Little Falls folks seem not to feel the “ pressure’’ much, hut are working ahead, on the right plan to put their town on a healthy basis, viz : by going on with public improve ments. Glencoe, McLeod Co AVc fail to re ceive the Glencoe Register any more, why, we cannot tell. We see by extracts from it in other papers, however, that “ things is stir ring” up there. The last number bestows a merited eulogy upon the people of McLeod county. No idle loafers can be found iu the precincts of the county. Banks or specie payments don’t trouble them up there. They have no exceedingly rich men, but they have no poor men. They are all together on a level ot industrious contentment. Abundant means of wealth lie around them, which they arc piling up into wealth. As an evidence of the energy and industry of the population, in eighteen month they have redeemed thou sands of acres from the wilderness, built sev eral villages, established good roads, erected mills, churches, school houses, and public houses on a scale and iu the style of commu nities fifty years old. Bears are uncommonly plenty this season. The couutry papers all contain accounts of their capture. The St. Peter Courier says that a black bear was killed last week, at Cordova, Le Sueur Co., which measured six feet aud five inches from the nose to the tail aud weighed over 400 pounds. Two of bruin’s quarters were retailed out to the peo ple of Saint Peter at the exceeding low price of 20 cents per pound. Can’t a cargo of ‘‘bar meat’’ be sent to St. Paul about Thanksgiving times ? It would be a good speculation. The Zombro Valley. —A correspondent of the Advertiser, writing from Zumbrota, says: Under date of Xov. 9th, “ A large two story building is just completed, handsome ly furnished, paiuted white, a store beneath just opened, and a public hall above. Also a first class flouring mill, erected by Nichols & Ford, thoroughly furnished and painted, starts to-day. The public house kept by Mr. Walker, has been enlarged and improved, Zumbrota will compare well with many of the enterprising, public-spirited towns in Goodhue county. “ The region for miles around is newly set tled and every thing is wanted—furniture, farming implements, <tc. Here is a point for mechanics and merchants. It is 30 miles from Faribault, 20 miles from Red Wing, 30 from Piced’s Landing, and from Rochester. Prospects for next year, are highly encourag ing.” Bio V eoetabi.ks— We have had so mauy marvellous stories in our paper this season, of big crops, big vegetables, &c., we fear our Eastern readers will almost suspect us of stretching the truth. But here is an item from the St. Peter Free Press, which will tax their credulity still more : A Large Yield—Mr. O. R. Ellis, who re sides a short distance from town, informed us the other day, that he planted on the upland prairie where lie lives, a single Mercer of Mes hannoek potato, last spring, and from the pro duce of which he last week dug a bushel bas ket full, besides a few which, being near the top of the ground, were frozen ! Here's another nut for our Eastern farmers and agricultural editors to crack. Remem ber they were not grown on our rich bottom and, but on the upland prairie, and without manure of any kind. We challenge the whole East, with all their guano and “ special mauures*’ to beat it if they can. Mrs. Nancy Baker has received the ap pointment of Postmaster at Rochester, vice P. H. Durfee. r The Territorial Prison—lmportant Pre Moutmcut. The frequent escape of prisonors from the Territorial Penitontiary, at Stillwater, has been a matter of considerable discussion throughout the Territory—so much so that at the recent sitting of the District Court of Washington County, tho subject was pre sented by the Grand Jury as follows : We, the Grand Jurors in aud for tho Coun ty of Washiutou and Territory of Minnesota, at the Geueral Term of tho District Court of the Secouil Judicial District, held at the Court House in the City of Stillwater, on the 2d day of November, 1857, beg leave to sub mit the following report to this Honorable Conrt. That in pursuance of our duties, we have visited and examined the Territorial Peniten tiary, situated iu the City of Stillwater, M. T., anil found F. It. Delauo, Warden, and Michael Mcllale, Deputy Warden, in charge thereof, and with them made a personal in spection of the same, and find that there is now confined iu said Prison six prisoners, that since April, 1855, there have been elev en escapes of prisoners, and that five persons have been discharged and set free by the of ficers of the Prison for the reason that the County Commissioners of several Counties from which they came have not paid their board iu advauce, many of whom were com mitted for high crimes, and some of them for the highest crime kuown to the law, to-wit: “murder,” as shown by the records of the Prisou. It further appears to this Grand Jury that from tho negligent and careless manner in which the offices of the Prison are conduct ed, that one Abel Wilcox, who was commit ted on a charge of murder, escaped, as shown by the records, “by means unknown to the Warden,” that no reward was offered and no steps whatever have been taken for au appre hension. And it further appears, that on the morning of his escape, the cell in which he was confined was found locked and in good order, with no marks of violence thereon or about the same, but that his escape must have been made with the assistance and priv ity of some person or persons connected with the Prison and having access to the keys.— It also appears that the keys to the Prison and cells were kept in so careless a manner in the office that they were accessible not only to persons in and about the Prison, but to outsiders. It was also found on such examiuatiou that one Maria Roblin, committed on a charge of selling spiritous liquors to Indians within the Territory of the U. S., escaped, in the words of the record, “by leaving the Prison,” and it is a matter ot astonishment to this Grand Jury that she should have so magnanimous ly consented to leave the Penitentiary be hind her. The Grand Jury also find that within the past two years there have been numerous escapes of prisoners, which, if the manner and means could be ascertained would cist a deep shadow over the fair fame of our Territory, and consign the officers of the Prison to any place but an office of trust. It is the opinion of this Grand Jury that the Prison with some slight repair, is, in its present state sufficient, with due care and at tention on the part of its officers, for the safe keeping of a limited number of prisoners, but that an immediate enlargement anil improve ment is absolutely necessary for the increas ing wants of the Territory, aud to put it in a state of permanent security. From the best information obtainable, suf ficient appropriations have been made by the U. S., and contracts entered into for the com pletion of an addition to the Prison contain ing ten new cells, but from reasons unknown to this body, said contracts have never been fulfilled, and we are of opinion that the res ponsibility lies principally at th : hands of the Inspectors of the Prison, who should receive a rebuke from the proper authority. An Act has been presented to this body, purporting to have been passed at tho late Railroad Extra-Session of the Legislature of this Territory conferring upon the officers of the Prison almost unlimited powers as to the receiving, safe-keeping, and discharging of prisoners under which they claim the riglit to set the order or judgement cf any court committiug for trial at defiance unless the board of prisoners shall be prepared by the County from which such prisoners arc sent. Inns they do not receive a prisoner unless his hoard he prepaid for five wteks at the rate of 63 ; 00 per week, and a sufficient amount of clothing furnished, and at the end of *hat period, should the county neglect to prepay his hoard they discharge the prisoner and are exonerated from any liability for his safe keeping, and for so slight a reason, per sons guilty of all crimes known to the law, are turned loose upon the community, and al lowed to go ‘‘Scott free." There are other features in this Act which are equally obnoxious, and it is a matter of surprise that an intelligent Legislature could be found who would pass such an Act, and still more surprising that a person holding the high position of Executive of this Territory should lend his official signature to the same. A\ r e take this occasion to respectfully call the attention of the Executive and approach ing Legislature to the provisions of the Act and to the general management of the Terri torial Penitentiary. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. E. McKUSICK, ALFRED WRIGHT, H. W. GREELEY, SALMA TRUSSEL, THOMAS WRIGHT, J. K. MEREDITH, JAS. SHEARER, JAS. R. MOORE, WM. C. PENNEY, E. D. FARMER, WM. P.

CATHCART A CO., Third St., St. Paul. THE LIVER INVIGORATOR.—PRE PARED BY I)r. SANFORD— Is a great scientific medical discovery, and is daily working cures, almost too great to believe. It cures as if by magic, even the first dose giving benefit, and seldom more than one bot tle Is required to Cure any kind of Liver Complaint, from the worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia to a common headache, all of which are the result of a diseased Liver. The Liver is one of the principal regulators of the human body, and when it— performs its functions well tlie powersof the system pr are fully developed. The stomach is almost entirely dcpenilantCbfi the healthy action ot the Liver for the—' proper perfbrmance of its functions when the stom-g-i ach is at fault, the bowels are at fault, an i the whole system suffers in conse quence of one organ—the"’’Liver having ceased to do its duty. Forthediseas-pe es of thatorgan, oneof the proprietors lias made it his study in a practice of more than twenty to find some remedy where with to counteract the many derangements to which it is liable. To prove that this remedy is at last found, any person troubled I—l with Liver complaint in any of its forms has but to>-try a bottle, and convic tion is certain. A com-pound has been formed by dissolving gums and ex- trading that part which is soluble for the active vir- 1- " 1 tues of the medicine. These gums remove all morbid or bad matter from the sys tem, supplying in theirCS place a healthy flow of bile invigorating the stomachrg and causing food to digest well, purifying the blood, giving tone and health to tlie whole machinery, re-r* moving the causes of the disease, and effecting a dical cure without any of the disagreeable effects felt , by using Calomel or mine ral poison that is usually” resorted to. One dose after eating is sufficient to re- lieve the stomach, and pre vent the food from rising^ s and souring. Only one dose taken before retiring vents night-mare. Only one dose taken at night the bowels gently, and cures costiveness. One dose taken after each meal will cure dyspepsia. One_d.se of two teaspoonfuls willalways relieve the sick w> head-ache. One bottleta ken for female ohstruc-fci tlons removes the cause of the disease. Only one dose,— immediately relieves chol ic, while one dose often re-^ 1 pcated is a sure cure for cholera morbus, and a pre-<J ventive of clinleTa. One dose taken often; will pre- vent the recurrence of bil lious attacks, while it re- lieves all painful feelings. Only one bottle is needed to throw out of the system the effects of medicine after a long sickness. One bottle ta ken for jaundice, removes all yellowishness or unnatural color from theskin. One dose taken a short time before eating gives vigor to the appetite and makes the food di gest well. One dose, often repeated,cures Chronic Diar rhea in its worst forms, while Summer and bowel com plaints yield almost to the first dose. One or two doses cures attacks caused by worms, w hile for worms in chil dren, there is no surer, safer, or speedier remedy in the world, as it never fails. There is no exaggeration in these statements; they are plain, sober facts, that we can give evidence to prove, while all who use it are giv ingthelr unanimous testimony in its favor. We take pleasure in recommending this medicine as a preventive for Fever an 1 Ague, Chill Fevers, and all fevers of a bll lious type. It operates with certainty, and thousands are willing to testify to its wonderful virtues. Among the hundreds of Liver Remedies now offered to the public there are none we can so fully recommend as Dr San ford* Invigorator, so generally known now throughout the Union. This preparation is truly a Life In vigorator, producing the most happy result on all who USeit. Al great standing in society, anj?e*wttti?&»e bMrepa ration now before the publiCw-2Zitd«on CountuTem.
