The weekly Minnesotian., 1852-08-28
A horse attached to buggy ran off the


other day, and coming down Third street,
discharged his buggy at the corner of
Minnesota, and pitched into Presley's,
playing smash with fruit stands, tobacco
and cigar boxes, melons, candy jars, tum-
blers' NC. As may be supposed, Post
was not post on this occasion, but be-
came suddenly and swiftly locomotive in
getting out of the way. After scattering
the grape and plum baskets of a crowd of
squaws, and causing them to come as near
fainting as Dakota ladies generally do, Mr..
Horse made his way out at the back door.
Our neighbor, DR.. Jarvis, is about
opening a branch of his drug store on
St. Anthony street, near the American
House. DR.. Day will be associated with
him. In times of sickness, everything
depends upon having fresh medicines and
druggists who understand their business.
These gentlemen are of that sort, as eve
ry body in St. Paul is aware.
Neighbor Moffct has Jackson street
through the hill, from the bridge to the
landing, making beautiful and easy
grade to the waters edge. He has COM
menced on Fourth street, and is oarrying
an easy grade up the elevation to Roberts
street. We wish all the members of the
Town Council, and all of our citizens in
fact, had half as much enterprise about
them as s'Unclc Lot
We hope every body into whose hands
this number of the Minncsotian falls,
particularly those at distance, will not
fail to read the communication of Mr..
Wason. Our young friends: Mckenzie
and Holcomb, up the Minnesota, and
Stevens, of Minnctonka, will find them
selves "sct up tolerably steep" =
Geese and ducks will be plenty in
few weeks, as the wild rice crop is unu-
sually heavy this year. In the oak OPEN
ings and upon the prairies are now myr-
lads of pigeons and grouse.
Members of the City Guards are re-
quested to call at Walkers Store, on
Monday, and get measured for their uni
forms. See notice for drill in our adver-
tising columns.
We never make practice of putting
any thing except good cigars, and we will
merely remark in this place, that those
advertised by Rcy s. Farmer are prime
article
We learn that Louis Roberts has pur-
chased light draught steamer, and will
be here i'll few days, to run between
Galena and St. Paul. Our informant had
forgotten her name.-Galena .4dv.
This is the steamer Greek Slave, which
Mr.. Roberts purchased to run in the
Minnesota river trade, but we presume
during low water, he will run her TO Ga
lena. She is looked for up this way
hourly.
The Democrat says that nearly all the
Democratic Senators in Congress are in
favor Of the Free Homestead Bill. Well.
let's look at the record. A few DAYS
ago, an attempt was made, backed by Mr..
Seward and other Wing Senators, TO take
up this important measure, but the Demo-
cratic Senate refused by the decisive vote
of 81 TO IA! The name of VIM. r.
KING, Democratic candidate for Vice
President, stands recorded, on this occa-
sion as on all others, against the Bill!
The Democratic majority in the Senate is
seven or eight. No wonder the Land
kcrormcrs arc going to vote against
Pierce and King. who are both against
their favOritc measure, and for Gen.
Scott, who has boldly declared in favor
Of it. Any further remarks, ncighbor?
Cooks official majority for Congress in
Iowa will run figure one and three cy-
pliers very close. Two years ago it was
thousand and over the other way. A
correspondent of the Tribune writes that
Iowa i" is sure for Scott and Graham
and that s'thc defeat of Lincoln Clark
one of the strongest men in the Demo-
cratic party-has spread CONSERVATION
through the ranks of the enemy. Gov.
Lucas-Democratic Ex-Governor of Ohio.
and still later Of Iowa-has declared for
Scott and Graham. Hundreds of Demo-
Gratis who voted their own ticket at this
election, will go for Scott this fall.'

Convention as the Free Soil candidate for
