THEATRICAL.-We have a letter from Messrs

Linden q Underhlll, authorizing us to state,
that they will be in st. Paul with their efficient
corps dramatique about the goth of July. The
company comprises many favorite artists, in
Guiding Messrs. R. Linden, D. R. Allen, John
Huntley, Mrs. G. Caulfield and Miss NJ. Seaman,
of the st. Louis Varieties Mr.. l. Saunders,
j. Wilson, Miss Jane Judah and Miss Sawyer
late of the Peoples Theatre and Mr.. F. An
drews, from Placide's New Orleans Varieties
The managers will produce during their stay of
two weeks, many of the popular pieces of Shaks-
peare, Kotzebue, Bulwer, Knowles and other
standard authors, and in all respects render
their performances worthy the patronage of
those who have the taste and disposition to en-
JOY theatrical amusements. We bespcak for
them brilliant and profitable season. The
Court House has been secured for their use.
A. c. Story, the polite young gentleman
of the colOred race, who last winter was wont
to smooth the ruffled front of excited politi-
clans and care-worn citizens at Bill Taylor's
tonsOrial establishment, st. Paul, has taken
himself up stream story, and opened shop
in st. Anthony, near the st. Charles House.
Those caught in that locality with grown beard
cannot do better than give him a call.
We regret to learn from the Pioneer, that
Mr.. r. O'Neill, one of our most enterprising and
industrious lumbermen, had raft of logs bro
ken upat Hastings: the other day, owing to the
carclessness or ignorance of the pilot. 1t APP
pears this worthy class of citizens who op-
crate on the Mississippi, are this year doomed to
hard luck.
SASH AND BLIND FACToRY.-Messrs R. NJ.
Spencer Il Co., have purchased of Wise & Gise
their extensive steam sash and blind factory
This is an important establishment among the
manufacturing concerns of ST. Paul, and we
have no doubt it will be carried on with great
energy and profit by the new proprietors.
- There was three days wonder about
town this week, in regard to the body of wo-
man found drowned in the neighborhood of
Pigs Eye. 1t was first represented that the
corpse was that of young woman elegantly
dressed, having about her gold watch and
some money, and that marks upon her person
indicated she had met violent DEATH Upon
closer inspection by coroner's inquest, it was
ascertaincd that nothing of the kind was appa-
rent. The clothes were of an inferior charac-
ter, and the body so decomposcd that it was i'm
possible to tell whether it was that of white
or black person; although, for various reasons,
the remains are believed to be those of 'Old
Edith a well-known and dissOlute colored wo-
man, who fell from the Tiger at the Landing
and was drowned some weeks ago. The mar
vclous and wonder-loying arc thus saved the
labor and pains of trumping up tales of horror
and surmscs of bloodshed and violence.
.RusHEs ABOVE LIE uEuR'-This has become
a cant phrase on the Minnesota, the meaning
whereof has deep significance. For proof pos
tive see rush helmet displayed in our office, and
for particulars enquire of Col. Mckenty, Third
street, who has some notices worth looking
TO in this days Minnesotian.
| UOrEIs.-Stcamboat captains and clerks in
form us that hundreds of people refuse to como
up to st. Paul this season, for fear they can
not be accommodated with comfortable quar-
tiers. This is no doubt true, and the town and
Territory are losing immensely by the opera
ton. 1t should be recollected, however, that
a reasonable number can be taken care of with
present accommodations and that the two
large hotels at the extremes Of town are now
being driven rapidly forward to completion
Mr.. Wnslow informs us that the work on his no
tel will not again cease until fully completed
Mr.. Branch, driving, gO-ahead mechanic, has
now hold of the house on Kittson's addition
which is the best guaranty held out since its
commcnccment-almost as long ago as we can
rccollcct-that it will speedily be ready to open
We hope and pray the milenial event is close
gotten that Mr.. Downcr opens the st. Louis
House in a few days.
- Accounts from all parts of the Territory
represent the growing crops as being in the
most luxurant and prosperous condition.
Wheat, oats, corn, potatoes &C., are as forward
in the extreme north of Benton county as about
st. Paul.
- Some of the heaviest rains of the past two
years have fallen this week. The natural re-
suit follows that our rivers will continue in the
best navigablc condition for at least month
or two, without further acquisitions from the
clouds.

Galcna to Milwaukee, and gives in his paper
