Doc Sur.-Mr. SpaHord found . valuable
hunting dog. the property of Mr.. William Hol-
linshead, chasing, or perhaps pointing his poul-
try, and with malice prepence' shot him.
Next to his family and kin, Mr.. H. probably re-
gsrded that dog more highly than any living
thing about his household, and consequently
suit was brought before Squire Simons for the
recovery of one hundred dollars damages. The
trial came off Monday. A jury was empan-
neiied and sundry witnesses sworn ON either
side-the defence proving there was no value
in dogs, and the plaintiff that his dog was fully
worth the damages set forth in the plea The
plaintiffs counsel, in the most dog NAUTICAL man
ner, averred that the dog was source of great
pr0iit, as we'll as amusement to his client, while
the attorney for defendant put it to the jury,
cat-egorically, if it were possible, in place
ike st. Paul, where dogs are SO plentiful, and
the market consequently Overstocked, that any
one dog could be worth as much as a good
horse! The jury found twenty-five dollars and
costs against the defendant-little enough in
the opinion of all true disciples of Nimrod, who
know the value of good dog, and knew the
deceased to be one Of EN- The moral of all
this is, that sportsmen shall keep their pointers
well exercised in the field, and thus render it
unnecessary for them to keep their hand-or
rather their foot-in, by practising in the poul-
try yard and the effect upon the st. Paul pro-
vision market is, the fact being established that
dog flesh is legally an article of considerable val

! MINNESOTA AND ITS REsOURCEs"-We are
pleased to See that both our St. Paul contempt
raries this week, notice favorably the daily ex-
pected advent of this new and interesting work,
from the pen of our townsman, J. W. Bond, Esq.
We had an opportunity, few weeks since, OF
examining some of the sheets as they came from
the press; and can state in advance, that the
book will come forth in a style highly credit
able to the publisher, Mr.. Redfed. A letter
from J. j. Noah, Esq, who has had charge of
its publication, of date the 4th instant, informs
us that the work mould be ready for shipment
On the 9th. The instalment intended for Min
nesota will therefore shortly arrive. We can
state from personal examination, that no vo-
lume ever written or compiled touching Mime
sofa and the Northwest, has reached the prac-
tical point this certainly will. It's $50 pages
are entirely filed with useful and authentic in
formation and we bespeak for it in advance "a
universal perusal Our business men should
see that copy of it is placed in every hotel
and reading-room throughout the Union. Mr.
Noah was untiring in Fastening its early
publication, but met with obstacles not easily
conceivable at this distance.
! New YORK ELECTloN.-The axe of public opin-
lou has potently fallen upon the Adminstra-
ton in New York, as was generally expected
throughout the country by all who could read
the signs of the times. The rebuke is thorough
and overwhelming. The attempt by the Pierce
Cabinet to control the local politics of sove-
reign State, was u dangerous experiment to
those who tried it, and the men of free thought
and free discussion throughout the world will
rejoice that it has SO signally failed. The Wings
have victory against their wishes, at this
time; while Brady, Bronson, Dickinson and
! O'Connor can glory in Knowing that a majority
of the Democracy have been true to the old
/
landmarks, against the combined efforts of IAN
Burenism, backed by the full power and patron
age of the Federal Administration at WASHING.
