Another steam saw-mill is to be erect

Another steam saw-mill is to be erect
ed at the mouth of Dayton's creek, inn
mediately adjoining the one in course OF
construction by Messrs. Ames Il Hoyt.
Mr.. Sanford, late of New York, has pur-
chased site of Mr.. Dayton, and will
erect mill capable of running two saws
this fall. So marches forward St. Paul
The town was fun of Indians the first
of the week, who came on business con-
nected with the treaties. The Governor
was busy with them two or three days
The Democrat intimates there are some
bad white men up the Minnesota river,
who will probably annoy and trouble the
Indians. We hope they will be marked
and watched. Maj. Fridley, Winnebago
Agent, was in town few days since. =
He goes below soon for the fall annui-
ties.
The Nominee arrived at Pigs Eye bar
on Monday morning, and sent up her
mails and passengers in barge, conclud-
ing not to attempt to come over herself.
She has gone to Rock Island to have re-
paired certain trifling injuries received
by sundry outings at said bar, portion
of which, by the way, is the hardest
kind of bar-not movable sand. The
Black Hawk came up with the mail on
Wednesday. We were pleased to find
our old friend Faucette, of the firm of
Burbank & Faucette, at the clerks desk.
PoLIr1cAL.-We saw the other day, a
man carrying upon the steamboat turtle
without shell, or rather with soft
shell. 1t was about one foot in diameter.
Wonder if it is good for soup?-Pioneer.
First-rate, friend Isaac; and seeing
you are in the ferrying business, crossing
the river several times day, we have a
notion to give you the contract to take a
score or two of the d" varmin,s'' that sun
themselves upon the sand-bar opposite,
for the purpose of having regular feast
next November, after we hear the news
of SCOTS election. All good-natured
Democrats, such as yourself, will be in
vited, and perhaps one of the ill-natured
snappish ones according to our feel
ings at the time. As caterers for his
dish, however, we must employ Eliza
beth and james, of the Dakota nation, I'M
Outstanding, though not scientific cooks as
whites practise it. they are great on dog
soup. But perhaps, after all, this would
but increase instead Of curtail his weekly
amount of barking; so we guess, upon
reflection, we won't invite him.
The case of Constans, growing out OF
the liquor dispute of Monday last, was
heard before Justice Simons on Thursday
The liquor was confscated. Twenty
four hours were allowed the defendant &c
give bonds for appeal, which he signiiied
his intention to do. So we suppose this
case goes up with the rest. We will
have an interesting docket at the Novem-
Der term of the District Court.
Mr.. Spencer's Grammar School opened
at Temperance Hall last Monday. He
has not yet met with the encouragement,
he deserves, but perhaps this is owing ,o
the Fact that it is not generally known the
school is open. This is not Mr.. Spcn.
GERS fault, however, as he has advertised
in all the papers. But if people do no,
stake the papers" themselves, and have
no taste for reading, it is no reason they
should rear their children in ignorance
and idleness. This matter of sending
children to be educated only when public
schools are open, is all wrong. We no.
tice that our near neighbor. Miss Sorin
has only ten or fifteen scholars, and her
school is in neighborhood which swarms
with idle boys and girls.

The fall term Of Miss Bishops Select
School will commence at the Raptist
Church on Monday. Miss b. is the po-
neer teacher of St. Paul, and needs no
recommendation at our hands to those
who know her.
