Opening ot tlte SL Mary’s Ship Canal.
A letter from Mr. Charles T. Harvey,
who has beeu employed by the St. Mary’s
Improvement Company since the commence
ment of the work in June, 1853, is pub
lished in a late number of the Cleveland
Plaiudealer, announcing the fact that on
the 18th of April the ship canal was so far
completed as to admit of the passage of
the largest class of boats navigating the
Western Lakes. The largest inland sea on
this continent, in which some three or four
of the smaller States of the Union might
be ingnlphed, without leaving a mark be
hind to point out where they were dropped,
iu two years’ time, by the rushing spirit of
American enterprise, and the cunning spirit
of American skill, is added to the great
highways of the earth, whereon steam craft
and sail craft will soon lie as largely em
ployed as on either of the lakes with which
it is linked, in satisfying the demands of cu
riosity, the behests of pleasure, aud the ne
cessities of commerce. The future of the
Father of Lakes is but faintly anticipated
just now. But when, after a few years, the
stores of mineral wealth, which now burnish
its shores with a golden lustre, are develop
ed, and railways from every point of the
compass extend their long parallels to its
coasts, no other jrnrt of the country will
present a more interesting or more charac
teristic picture of American enterprise than
this.
The opening of the St. Mary's Canal is a
matter of no immediate practical importance
to ns, In this locality, but the time is very
near when our “goods, wares, and merchan
dise,” and the products of onr Territory will
come to us, and go lrom us, through that
channel. For all purposes of transporta
tion and travel, a railroad from St. Paul
to Superior will bring ns five hundred miles
nearer New York than we are now by the
Chicago route; as the distance from the
head of Lake Superior to New York is no
greater than the water route from the latter
to Chicago. This will furnish a route
which will be able to compete successfully
with the southern at points nearly as far
below as Dnbuqne. Wonderful things are
to come of the improvements at the foot of
Lake Saperior;of that there is no question.
Time, however, will present the details far
more accurately than we can; and in this
rapid age, those who have cariosity in that
respect will not be obliged to wait long to
have it gratified.
19* We happened into the Banking
House of Messrs. Borup & Oakes, yester
day, and whilst there L. Huhtzell, Esq., of
Point Prescott, stepped in and presented a
draft for $10,7 00,which was instantly paid.
Neither Mr. L. nor the worthy Cashier,
Capt. Dana seemed in the least disconcerted
at the large amount which the one was to
receive and the other to “ fork over but
we thought St. Paul must be approaching
a certain degree of stability in monetary
affturs, when such drafts were so promptly
honored.
Seventeen thousand boxes of oran
ges arrived at Boston last week. Since last
September, 70,000 boxes oranges, 30,000

The following from the Lafayette Jour
nal of Monday, exhibits a most hardened
state of depravity :
The jail birds held a mock trial on Satur
day night, examined, tried, sentenced and
hung Abe Rice, for the murder of young
Fahrenbaugh. A similar outrageous scene
was enacted on Sunday night, as we ore in
formed by an eyewituess, in which the boys
displayed their utter heartlessness, by try
ing, convicting and hanging Jo Privot.—
Two of the prisoners held a pole on their
shoulders—a handkerchief was tied around
Jo’s neck, and he was suspended from the
pole, thus affording any quantity ot amuse
ment for the boys.

panies in New York, is getting up a grand
excursion to the Black Sea, to start, sav

Passengers will have an excellent opportun
ity to see how things are going on at Sebas

K&, A sale of 20,000 bushels of barley
of the new crop, was made at Albany a
few days since at $1 per bushel. This is a
pretty good indication that the brewers
there mean to continue their business not
withstanding the new liquor law.
District Attorney Cooley. —Among the
acts of the Grand Jury for Ramsey county,
lately in session, we notice the passage of
the following resolution :
Rtsolvtd, That this Grand Jury tender
their thanks to D. C. Cooley, the District
Attorney of this county, for the despatch
and ability with which he has conducted the
various matters before this body at this
term. G. W. FARRINGTON,

■gL. Barnuiu writes to the New York
Tribune that his Baby Show business is
beautifully going ahead, rfc thinks there
is a strong probability that the full number
of 100 cradles will be occupied. It is sug
gested, however, that he will have to hire
the babies of the poor of the city of New-
York, and dress them up for the occasion
19* There is a lilliputian infant
Sing, between four and five months old,that
weighs only a trifle over four pounds. It
weighed a pound and fourteen ounces at
birth. It is said to be healthy and well
proportioned. Barnum will he after that

45?* Mr. Longworth, of Cincinnati, says
the Charter Oak grape, sent to him from
Connecticut, is of no value, unless for bul

the roots are sold from $2 to $5.

Dr. David Day has returned home in good
health, from which fact our readers will
readily conclude, that he did not die of the
cholera, as was reported.
|&~Copious rains fell last week through

They were greatly needed.
4@T John C. Feltman, of Albany, has
again been awarded the contract for making
leather mail-bags for Uncle Sam.
Brigham Younq.—From an address deliv
ered by Brigham Young, in Salt Lake City,
in February last, we extract the following :
“ The newspapers are teeming with state
ments that I said “President Pierce and all
hell could not remove me from office.” I will
tell yon what I did say, and what I now say :
The Lord reigns and rules iu the armies of the
heavens, and does His pleasure among the in
habitants of the earth. He sets np a kingdom
here, and polls down aaother there, at His
pleasure. He walks in the midst of the peo
ple, and they know it not. He makes kings,
? residents and governors at His pleasure; hence
conclude that I shall be governor of Utah
Territory just as long as he wants me to be,
and for that time, neither the President of the
United States, nor any other power, can pre
vent it. Then, brethren and sisters, be not
worried about my being dismissed from officen
for when the President appoints another man
to be Governor of Utah Territory, you may
acknowledge that the Lord has done it, for
we should acknowledge His hand in all
things.”
Sweet.— The Detroit Tribune is responsible
for the following:
“Bayard Taylor lately delivered a lecture at
Kalamazoo, on the Philosophy of Travel, be
fore a large audience. The next day, a gen
tleman chancing to meet a lady, who listened
to the lecture, asked her opinion of it “Oh,"
says she, “it was excellent—he has such a street
moustache 1” Discriminating female.

PROM TUB' DEMOCRAT.
Burglary.— Doting last Thursday night the
stow of Mr. Babbitt, Minneapolis,was broken
open aud money to the amount of between
SIOO and S2OO taken from the drawer. A few
sights previous a viHaia pilfered from a board
er at Mr. Buslmri’s hotel near S3OO. These
are the first cases of theft known in our vil
lage.
Suicide.— A man by the name of Peoples
committed suicide last Sunday-evening by cut
ting his throat. lie was a young man* who
had worked iu the pineries during the past
winter; but at tse tjmq of his self-destruction
was a boarder at the house of Mr. Lord, near
Bridge street and in the employ of the Minne
apolis Brick Company. The cause of his rash
act is not known. For some time he had not
been well. Upon his person was found about
S7O.
Narrow Escape.— About a week siuce Mr.
C. Russell’s life was placed iu imminent dan
ger by the breaking of the ring to the neck
yoke as he was driving down the hill to the
ferry with a load of green lumber. The hors
es were frightened by the wagon pressing upon
them and Air. R. was thrown off between the
wheels, one of them passing over his shoulders
and breast, but fortunately he lay between two
large stones, which protected him from the en
tire weight of the load, otherwise he would
have been crushed.
Drowned.— Near the head of Nicollett Isl
and, two weeks since, a stranger attempted to
cross the river in a canoe in company with a
young man named Monoc, and upon reaching
the middle of the stream, the canoe upset and
the stranger was drowned. The body has since
been recovered and interred.
From the Providence Post, May 2.
The Destruction of ike World not defin
itely fixed upon—Letter from one who
Knows.
Sir:— ln your paper of to-day I find an ed
itorial item which states “that the 16th of May
has been fixed upon by the Timests or Adven
tists for the coming of the Lord,” &c.
Permit me sir, to say, for the information of
your readers, that a class of believers in that
event do expect its occurrence, at the latest,by
the time above named—but these do not rep
resent the faith of a regularly organized and
respectable body of “Adventists” in this coun
try and Europe, with whom the church wor
shipping at New Market Hall, in this city,are
conneeted. We, however, endorse the senti
ment of many distinguished prophetic exposit
ors, that “the end of all prophetic chronology
is at hand”—consequently, that the Savior’s
advent, personal and premillenial, may be look
ed for daily. While, at the same time, his ex
plicit declarations, that “we know not when
the time is”—of that day and hour knoweth
no man”—should be as firmly believed.
Yours respectfully,
GEO. W. BURNHAM,
Pastor of the Second Advent Church,
New Market Hall.
Providence, May 1,1855.
4®*ls there any news from the Chimera ?
said Mrs. Partington dropping in upon us
suddenly, like a bombshell, on the arrival of
the last steamer. She had Ike with her,
who immediately seized upon a pair of scis
sors and began puncturing the top of the
desk against which he was standing, at the
same time kicking the table at which we
were sitting. ‘ls there any news from the
Chimera !’ We told her that the late news
of the Emperor’s death was confirmed.—
‘Ah !’ said she, with a sigh, ‘ war is indeed
dreadful when it won’t allow people to make
their peace when they die. I declare it gives
me a nashna at my stomach when I think
that men should forget the kindnesses and
meannesses of life (she meant amenities)to
worry each other by military engineers that
does it—if they would have civil engineers
there now, iu a little time the black sea of
war would become a Pacific Ocean.
Igh- Nelson explains the cause of the
failure of the Milleritc prediction as to the
“ end of all things earthly.” He says that
a large proportion of tie Adventists are
Know Nothings, aud they objected to the
“ Coming of the Prince of Peace,” because
he was a Forugntr. So there was a row
among the Millerites, “ Sam” carried the
day, and the world stands ! Trent Budget.
RIVER NEWS.
4®* The St. Louis Republican of the Bth
iDSt., states that the steamer New York, from
Pittsburgh, arrived at that port on the 7th
with 350 passengers and 450 tons freight, all
destined for the Upper Mississippi. She was
advertised to leave St. Lonis for St. Paul on
the Bth.
W&g* The steamers New Georgetown, aud
Montauk, were advertised to leave St. Louis
on the Bth inst., for this port. Some ten or a
dozen steamers are now due from below.
The Black Hawk,Capt. Maxwell, came
in from the Minnesota River yesterday at 11
o’clock, A. M. She leaves this evening at 4
o’clock.
45?* Capt. J. B. Estes,came
in yesterday morning at 11 o’clock. She
brought 212 passengers. Her freight for this
place was very light, having discharged a large
amount at Stillwater, Hudson, Prescott, and
other points below. Sh» left yesterday at 4,
P. M.
4©"* Yesterday about 12 o’clock, an alarm
of fire was raised on board the Lady Franklin
lying at the Lower Levee. Great excitemeut
ensued for a short time among the crews o
the Belle Golding, Hamburg and Navigator,
which boats lay just above and to windward
of the Lady Franklin. The Belle Golding,
lying alongside the burning boat, having steam
up, immediately commenced backing out, so as
to be out of the reach of the fire; and her ex
ample was being rapidly imitated by the Ham
burg, the next one above, when it was discov
ered that the fire was extinguished. It proved
to be nothing more than some mattresses burr
ing on the hurricane deck of the boat, where
they had been placed in too clone proximity to
one of the stove pipes. When discovered they
were blazing nicely, but they were tossed over
board before the flames had spread to any of
the woodwork of the boat. The fire resulted
in no damage, except the loss of two or three
mattrasses.
