The Dr. Franklin, No. /, came in early on
Monday morning, while Saint Paul was at morn-
ing prayers-a cool morning and cloudy---so was
Sunday. The sun looked out for an hour or so,
from behind d scowling clcud, to mark, as moni-
tor, who was absent from public worship, and
who was tardy. ~. l-.a ....4 -t.tt

LECLAIaE HousE.-The LeCare House,
Davenport, is about to be enlarged. That house
is already one Of the 6sest and largest hotels in
the Northwest. Another addition will make it
stupendous affair We need public house in
Saint Paul, twice as large as the LeClaire
House. 80 s5 "a -*ta .t
AN IRON FURNACE AT ST. PAUL.--Only
think of it. firm Of competent persons have
made arrangements Tor starting an Iron Foundry
at ST Paul. We heard of some one who pur-
posed to start one here, but the ''signs'' Of its
appearance are yet invisible. Won't some one
give a trial Such thing is much wanting
and would be profitable business IN this region
L Dubuque Herald
Well; they must be well supplied with brass
at Dubuque, TO assume that an iron furnace is
wanted there much as here, ut the focus Of
wider area Of trade than any other town has in
the whole Northwest at.
Dr.. RrcH.-The Minnesota Pioneer says
many hard things of this gentleman. Among
other charges made against him by the Pioneer,
one is thae the Doctor did not pay his printing
bill. Now we can vouch for his honesty in that
respect in this direction. He had some bills and
cards printed at this office, and paid for them like
man.--l Dubuque Herald
If he can do anything ''hke man." he has
some talent for acting; and had better Try the
stage next move, instead Of steamboat.
Oh Deari Peaches were IS bushel at Gin
cinnati at latest dates.-GH Herald.
Then peaches might as well be, as at ST. Paul
moi there at all. .-t

The St. Paul Democrat learns that the potato
rot is prevailing extensively in that portion of
Minnesota Dubuque Tribune. ---.t
Readers Of the Democrat will be glad to know
that the Democrat ''learns' any thing.
People with teams viii please take notice that
Bench Street is rendered impossible by the work
of excavation and grading, between the old
Catholic Church and the Central House; five
men, intended to be Winnebago Fur Company
voters, being employed to look OH, while the sixth
man works with crowbar at the ledge, and the
seventh "rolls the wheel-barry.'
We learn that the grading and opening Of
Fourth street, is let by contract, to Mr.. s. H.
AxteR, at $1,000.
To MrNNEsoTA.-The steamer John Mitch
ell is up for pleasure trip TO st. Paul about the
10th Of September, il sufficient inducement is
offered. Fare for the trip, 935.

In the rear Of Saint Paul, and running down
through dell that cleaves the semicrcIe of hills
back Of town, is Il sparkling milI-stream called
Trout Brook. AT the mouth Of the dell, Mr.
Winslow built dam, afording head of about
16 feet Of water; and few feet below the dam
he has built grstmil for two runs of buhr stones
The dam first built, being made of brush, was
partly washed off; and Mr.. Winslow now has
nearly completed, very thorough, substantial
frame and plank dam, well piled at the bottom.
In this mill the. water is used tuicc that is, it
propels one reaction wheel, and then falls upon
and propcIs another reaction wheel still lower.
The power Of one or both water wheels at oAce, :,
may be applied TO drive either one or both runs
Of stones. The buckets of the water-ubeels
may also be regulated in width, by simple con-
trivance, to suit the Volume of water Mr.. w.
has smut-m Of the very latest patent, and
bolts Of admirable qualify, into which is blown
constant current Of fresh air to cool the flour.
There are larger mills, but there is probably no
better mill in the West. and certainly, no mill
anywhere better situated to secure extensive Gus
tom. 1t will confer benefit upon our Territory
of the mos: extensive and substantial kind. AS
