~ Tuesday evening, the wind COM
menced shifting, as soon as il grew dark
enough; and veering gradually around
from the west toward the east, finally
the next morning, "de6ned it's position"
in the south east, blowing up hazy
atmosphere which threatened rain
storm. Rain is due, by Professor Es-
py's theory, since the wide prevalence
of fires upon the plains, and bluffs in
every direction. Yellow-ffet ducks are
coming in plenty, at twenty cents pair.

CO. When will editors learn that the
name of our town is Saint Paul and not
Saint Pauls'
We shall discontinue our weather ar
ticle, since steamboats, have now COM
menced running, with a single remark;
and that is that we have as many
months Of fine vcatEer at Saint Pau,
after spring really commences, as they
have in any part of Illinois. Here,
spring comes one month later and so do
the frosts of autumn. All we want in
Minnesota, is an almanac ej our o,ca, by
which TO re-christen the months. Call
ing April March, and May April. and
June May, and so on through the calen-
dar, would reconcile every body to the
climate of Minnesota. In fact, we
think the calendar might be set back a
month to advantage, all over our CONT
nent; for We learn that they had halt
a foot of snow in Saint Louis, last week
on Monday.
