FIRsrBoAr At SAUK RArIDs.-Our neigh |
bors up North chow do they contrve to live up
there all winter, shut out from the worldly were
rejoiced by the first arrival this spring, Of the
steamboat Gov. Ramsey from St. Anthony, on
the 4,h Of May The boat is now fitted up with
excellent Accommodations for travellers. Not
stranger visiting Minnesota, should fail Of making
this trip of 100 miles, to the Upper Mississippi,
into region as beautiful as Bunyan's land Of
Beulah. The cabin fare up from 81, Anthony aud
back again, is only SIS 90. Our enraptursd cor
respondent writes: The Captain, Parker, and
Clerk, Oliver, are deucei clever fellows; polite
and sentIcrnan!y. Oliver is single, if Grdon is
not, ana coed looking TOO, and the ladies cannot
dispute it. ! suppose scores Of Them will be COM
ing up this way this summer, at least all who
wise and have read the Pioneers trip TO Sank
Rapids in June will do so. That glowing account
and the fine accommodations Of the boat this sea-
son ought 10 bring them up in crowds. good
public house will be found one lille from the
steamboat landing. until the new hotel now under
way upon the spot, is finished. Give them an in
rite any how in my name, and say come; TO the
stranger and all travellers say come-to every
body say come along; they will not see Mime
sofa ill they get TO Benton CO., ana no one will
regret their time trouble. The fish are eaping
about in the sparkling waters OF the streams ard
lakes, and almost starving for the sportsman s
bait; the pigeons ill the woods, the prairie hens
whrring through the air in focks, and there is
sport on hand for all who wish it,
VoTE ON THE LIQUOR LAW, IN CAss
CoUNrY.---A correspondent corrects the errone
Gus returns of this election, in Cass county; and
says he hls examined the poll and tally lists III
the Office Of The Register Of Deeds, of the cleo
ton at Long Prairie; by which it appears there
were 81 yeas AMI nays; aal adds: "Now In d
the vote been merely transpnSed and the ayes
given and vice versa. it would not have
been very bad--we c>aid have excused that at
election times, even among intelligent men; but
the returns as certified to by the judges and clerks
Of election, give the majority ior the law (25) as
50 many nos; and noes as 50 many ayes; while
the rea! vote of 81 yeas does not appear. These
returns led TO the mistake which was before made,
viz: that Cass county hid given 10 M jority for
the law although as it stands now 1t is 70 against
it. Wncn [ Afterwards saw the returns, saw
the mistake INN aiiaiely, ana was requested by
the people here TO write to You upon it, and would
! have done 80 some weeks ago, had not suppos-
! ed it would have been rectif.d by some one else
below. Il appears The canvassers overlooked it,
and returned TO the Governor tho false relurns,
which make difference OF II votes against the
law. IN justice 20 CAss county, have deemed
il necessary TO make this explanation, which the
public should be inIorne! Of
