GREES Peas AND BEASs.---We were shown
the other day by Mr.. A. R. French, Of II. Paul,
green peas and beans, raised by him 10 his gar
den. They were Of full size usd plump in ap-
pearance. Considering the backwardness Of the
season oil over the West, caused by SO much cold
rain. we think that is not bad for Minnesota.
The steamer Die Vernon arrived at our levee
last Sunday morning. On her way from Saint
Louis, about a hundred and twenty miles below
Galena, the Die was 90 unfortunate az to break
one of her shafts and had to come tho rest Of the
way with one wheel. She met the Robert Fulton
going down, which boat took portion of her
freight and arrived here with it tho same morn
ing, about half an hour after the Die. When
first seen by our citizens, who had assembled in
great numbers abou, the levee. she moved through
The swim current Of the Mississippi 50 slowly,
that many supposed it to he the Tiger, and bets
were made to that effect. Bot wonderful hau-
cinstion /! instead Of being the Tiger, she soon
showed herself to be the largest, best finished and
finest looking steamer that ever was seen in the
waters Of the Upper Mississippi. She had on
board large party Of ladies and gentlemen who
came up on pleasure trip. The Die sta,d here
till Monday night, giving her; passengers ample
time to see st. Paul, St. Anthony, St. Peters,
and All Saints. They all expressed themselves,
as far as we could learn, as being highly delight
ed with the beautiful situation, and enthusiastic
caily sanguine Of the brilliant prospects Of our
young and thriving towns.
Hon. Henry s. Geyer, the Senator elect from
Missouri, in place Of Col. Benton, paid our town
a visit the other day. He was a passenger on
The Die Vernon.
