Mr. Editor. — The weather is cloudy and
cool. The Minnesota is falling; the Black
Hawk and J. B. Gordon, have both made un
successful attempts to get over the rapids. Dr.
Jewett from Farribault, was here and lectured
to us last week, on the prominent topics of the
present political campaign, to wit: slavery ex
tension and prohibitory liquor law. He had a
numerous and attentive audience, all seemed
pleased with his remarks.
Service was held for the first time in the
new Episcopal Church, on Sunday, Rev. Mr.
Wilcoxon preached morning and afternoon. —
This is the first service ever held in a church
in the village, and the size of the audience
showed that the people appreciated the oppor
tunity. Hereafter services will be held regu
larly morning and evening. There are two
other Episcojuil Churches within two miles ol
us. St. John's Church in Chanhassan, and St.
Allans on Lake Minnetonka. We learn that
the Rev. Mr. Chamberlain of St. Anthony, will
shortly move into the neighltorhood of these two
churches, and supply their pulpits regularly.—
We are glad to see a church that is so favora
bly known as a muse of religion and education,
enterprise and science, so early establishing
itself in our own midst.
Notices have been posted that an application
will be made to the District Court for incorpo
ration. The census taken for this purpose by
Mr. Adams, showes that within the proposed
limits wo have adult males 183; adult females
111; male children, 58; female children. 09;
total 121.
Yours,

Cannon Citv, August 29th, 1855.
On account of the most accessable prairie
lands, joining timber, being taken, it has become
quite a general impression with the inhabitants
of this Territory, that all the good claims arc oc
cupied. But this is a great mistake, for the
writer has just returned from a short exploring
expedition, and found, to his satisfaction, a large
tract of the best land, there is in the Territory,
composed of timbered and opening lands, with
plenty of beautiful blue-joint grass meadows. —
Staid lands are principally unoccupied, which is
on account of there being heretofore no roads
through them. That difficulty, however, is now
obviated ; as there is a good road just complet
ed, commencing at Cannon City, a beautiful and
flourishing young town on Cannon River, —the
castorn boundary of said county,—and running
north-west to a town called Wedgewood, located
on the Rig Sioux or Dodd Road, and from thence
it is to be extended to ficlle Plane, on the St.
Peters, —the western boundary of said county.—
This road will soon be one of much importance,
as it is to be one of the principal links connecting
the St. Tcters and the Cannon Rivers. Those
who anticipate ever settling in this country, would
do well to como and examine immediately, es
pecially if they expect to get thoir choice of
claims at government price.
Any necessary information or assistance can
be had relative to procuring claims, free of charge,
by calling at Sears’ Store, in Cannon City.

Horrible Affair.— Adultery aiul murder.
Mr. Levi Smelser, an old and respected citizen,
who kept a tin and copper-ware manufactory
in Tcliounicoulas street, opposite St. Mary’s
market, died about two months since, and was
buried by his friends without any suspicion of
his having been murdered. A few days since,
his negro woman Kitty, went to a Mr. More
house, in the Fourth District, and told him that
her master had died of arsenic and chlorolorm,
administered through the joint agency of her
mistress, Mrs. Smelser, a paramour named
Scott, and herself, and that other persons uncon
nected with the family, were cognizant of, and
had connived at the horrible deed.
Scott was a workman, or foreman, in Mr.
S.’s establishment, and lioarded in the family;
an illicit intercourse sprang up between him and
Mrs. Smelser, resulting in a desire to get Mr.
S. out ol the way, and a scheme of poisoning,
to which the negress was made a party through
promises of freedom and plenty of money. Be
ing fearful of Kitty, however, they kept her
closely confined in the house ; she became con
science-stricken, and resolved to make a clean
breast of it, which she did by telling Mr. More
house these particulars.
Kitty said that Mrs. Smelser and Scott pro
cured the l>oison ; that Mrs. S. mixed the arse
nic in a pitcher of water, that Mr. Scott poured
out a glasslul of it, and that she herself took it
and gave it to her master, who was lying in bed,
unsuspicious of any wrong; afterwards hand
kerchiefs saturated in chloroform were laid over
his face ; and that the other parties who were
present several times raised the handkerchiefs
to see if the victim was dead, and replaced them.
This story would seem almost too horrible for
belief, hut Kitty', who was arrested and is now
in prison, tells it with a plausibility and a seem
ing remorse that cannot be rejected. She told
what druggists furnished the poison, and gave
Captain Moynan the residue ol tin* arsenic left
from poisoning the pitcher of water. She also
named a notary on camp street, before whom
her free papers had been drawn up.
lhe police have been investigating the case
for several days, but have made no further ar
rests ns yet; the difiiculty being, we believe,
the insufficiency of a slave’s testimony to impli
cate a white person. Smelser was a German,
40 or 45 years of age; his widow is an Irish
woman considerably younger; Scott is an Irish
man.—Aw Orleans. July 16.

FOR TUB HARVEST OF 185 ft.
J. H. "MANNY'S
PATENT ADJUSTABLE REAPER AND MOWER
COMBINED, AND SINGLE MOWER I
SECURED to John 11. Manny by nine patents In the United
States, also patented In Europe. Manufactured by Manny
fc. Co., Rockford, Ulluols. These valuable machines are con
stantly being manufactured. A large number are being made
for the coming harvest. Over two thousand were constructed
during the past season, and used w ith entire success, yet the de
mand was not half suppled. Forty first-class premiums have
been awarded to Mr Alanny for the superiority of Ills machines
over all others, In the frequent trial It has had with them, In
cluding every machine that has any claim to repntatlou.
A warranty Is glvcu to each purchaser that the machine is
well bnllt, and
OF GOOD MATERIALS,
And that It will mow as well as can I* dune with tlie scythe,and
reap as well as can la* done w ith the Cradle. Tlie machine is
drawn by two horses, and managed by one peraon for mowing,
and two person, for reaping; and is also warranted to cut
from ten to fifteen seres per day.
Tlie nine patentaof John 11. Manny for reaping and mowing
machines embrace adjustability, the Knives, (itiard Fingers,
Dividers, arrangement of Wheels, of Platforms, Trucks, J,evers,
Braces, Frame Work, Gathering Wings, Ohllqu« Platforms,
Joints, position for attendants, *tc. iu.'., —all these being ex
ceedingly valuable features, and In most successful operation.
The ouly successful and perfect combination of
REAPER AND MOWER IN THE WORLD/
As well as being tlie best Single Machine for either purpnsc.-
AU the various kinds of reapers and mowers have endeavored
lo compete witli this machine; the result In every Instance lias
shown its superiority, and though the .Self-Raker came up wltn
boasted ingenuity and boasteil lalmr-saving advantage, yet It Is
unable to niu a prize ot FIFTEEN 111 NDllKI) IX ILL A IIS, hut
Is decided hv an honorable committee (as a reaper ouly) to be in
ferior to the heat liand-raking marliltie | tu say nothing about
their additional price, nor theli not living adapted to mowing.
But their complication of machinery, walsllug the grain, and
Irregularity of the gavels, tar more than neutralizes their
claims to labor-saving. While
MANNY’S MACHINE
Excels all others In simplicity of construction, In facility of
management, In lightness of draught (requiring only two
horses) In having uo side draught, lulls adjustability to uucaven
ground, and lu being readily adjustable to any bight from the
ground when reaping, by means of a lever extending (othcdrl
ver’s seat, and under Ills control. It also excels every other
Implement In cultlug lodged or tangled grata or grass,and also In
rutting all kinds of grata or grass, whether wet or dry, without
clogging. It w ill cut flax close to the ground, or gather the
seed, and will also gather tlm.lhy and clover seed. Two knives
—one u sickle, the otic r a smooth edge—urc furnished with
each ■■lachliie, either ot which may he used as ri qulretl.
The combined machine is Converted from a Reaper to a Mower,
and tucr versa, l y simply r moving or Inserting a luo-e plat
form, which may he done 111 less than one minute.

January, 1866,1 n accordance with the Actor CoiigrcsJ
of 1844, relating to locating Town Site* on Government Lamia,
and possess llie following advantages for making one of the
largest cities in the north-west.
1. The town Is beautifully situated on an elevated prairie,
with oatural slopes towards the river and steamboat Landing,
aud on the west hank of the Mississippi, a short distance below
the mouth of Sauk river, aud about sixty miles above the Falls
ot St. Antlioii) .
2. It Is the head of steamboat navigation above St. Anthony,
and between these two places, steamboats will nm regularly
the present season.
3. It la the county seat of Stearns conntv, and loeated In the
ccnterof the county on tbo river. The county Is folly organ
ized according to law.
4. A greater number of important roads meet at this point
than at any other place In the Territory'. Five roads have
already been I seated by frovemment, with large appropriations
for their completion, all leading through a country unsurpassed
In beauty and fertility.
6. The recent purchase by the Government of 12,000,000
acres of the Chippewa lands, throws open to lamliemien the
largest amount of pine lands in Mltmesota, which being above
St. Cloud on the Mississippi, gives the town all the advantages
Bowing from an extensive lumbering Country.
6. The valley of Sauk River for richness of soli cannot be
surpassed. Being Interspersed with prairie and wood land, It Is
well adapted to farming purposes, and can be secure,! only by
pre-empt lon, which will exclude speculators, ami make every
quarter section the property of actual settlers—all of which
will be tributary to St. Cloud.
