ST. PAUI. SrocK MARKET-We are getting

sup in the pictures here in St Paul. Over
on Third street during "'change hours every
day, there is almost as much hustle and excite
ment as one would find in Wall street. Our
stocks, however, are all, as yet, somewhat of
the fancy order They consist of shares in
towns and cities prospective, over in Siouxland.
We hope all these paper emporiums will ''comc
out in due time, and grow to be something
We are sure some of them will; but at the same
time we would advise all "green 'uns' to be-
ware they do not get taken in-likewise bad
| ly fooled One day the bulls of Mankato
have it all their own way; the next, the
. bears" interested in Traverse des Sioux
pouncc upon them, and up goes Traverse stock.
Then, in turn, the bears of LIE Sueur attack the
bulls of Travcrse-then comes "a fire in the
rear upon the bulls of LIE Sucur from the
bears OF Shokope, and so they CO. The modest,
unassuming "towns' below, Hastings, Red
| Wing, &c, have not yet entered the melee, so
far as we have been informed, but we expect
every day when they will. Great times in
this line now, until the opening of navigation.
But LET it be borne in mind, that no communi-
ty ever yet became rich :skinniug" each other.
Those wishing mill machinery, or those
desiring cheap, fashionable and durable fronts
for buildings, will please note the advertise
ments, in our columns, of LcClaire, Davenport
Co. Their foundry and machine shops are
among the most extensive and best conducted
manufacturing establishments in the West. and
their facilities enable them to turn out work
fully equal, in quality and price, to that which
may be procured at ST. Louis Then the adj
vantagcs of time and freight are much in their
favor, so far as regards customers in all the
country above them.
IN DARKNESS Have you any candles? ?" is
now the great cry of customers ut the grocery
stores. Asa natural consequence to advance
mcnt, st. Paul has made more use of light dur
ing this than upon any previous winter consc-
quently the supply of candles has failed. None
OF our dealers, save one Or two, have any left.
They should have thought of this in time. We
have, however, plenty of eyerythin else to
carry us through.
! DEATH OF 4 NOTED ACroR.-Mr. c. \. Logan,
an actor well and favorably known throughout
the country, died Of apoplexy on board steam
er at Wheeling, on the 23d ult. He was on his
way from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh, with his
daughter, much admired actress and estima-
bic lady. Mr.. l.. was a gentleman of education
and refinement; and aside from being come
dian having but few equals upon the American
stage, was a dramatic author and humorous
writer of no mean ability. He was, withal, a
warm and generous hearted man and good
| citizen in the broadest sense of the term 1t
was our fortune to enjoy his friendship and con-
lidencc for many years; and we add but a just
tribute to his memory in saying, that more
generous man or lirmcr friend never lived.
| PEOOF GIVEN UNDER DIFr1CuLTIEs.-A '!distin-
gushcd Statesman of New York now at Wash
ington, has visited the Misses Fox, the original
spiritual rappers, and gives the following evi-
dcnce in the Tribune, of ''thc faith which is in
| him. relative thereto. We submit it to the
most INSCRIPTIONS believer in the "spirits, >
whether that man. is a competent and dispas-
sionate witness under the circumstances? We
allude more particularly to the "raps on the
| pillow" when, of course, the distinguished
Statesman must have been kneeling or lying
upon the floor, near the feet of the lovely and
interesting Miss Fox:
''TO-day (Feb. Ply called on the Misses Fox
who are now at Washington, and showed them
the communication in the Tribune. They said
| they had been tested in this way, and in all
other ways that could be invented. To satisfy
me they got two pillows took seats in the mid
die of a large parlor, far away from the table
or anything else, except the chairs on which
they sat placed their feet, heels and all, so
that they rested entirely on the pillows, as
know from personal observation, and immcdi-
atcly the raps came just as loud and were as
distinctly heard, as | ever heard them, (and
have heard them very often.) when they were
sitting at the table. They then asked the spr-
its to rap on the pillow. Forthwith the raps
were made on the pillow. and sounded precise
| ly the same as ifa person himself should rap on
a pillow. Ipidced my hand upon the piifotc,
and could feel the jar of it, the same as if / my
self had been rappQg it,
democrats who have the good fortune to
hold Office under Whig Administration, says
the Washington Republic, are likely to compre-
hend the force of the saying, that "a man S
worst foes are sometimes those of his own
household The Union has pounccd upon
them with savage vehcmence. 1t insinuates
that the coming President will regard them as
spies in the Democratic camp, and tells them
beforehand that they will be swept out without
mercy. 1t AYERS, intercntially, that the circum-
stances of being at present an incumbent of
Office VIII be construed into evidence of Demo-
cratic infdeity, and, consequently, of fitness for
condign punishment.
TIE ADMINISTRATION ANALYZED.-Thc follow
ing is the new cabinet. "Bob,' one of Mr..
Grecleys sharp Observers at Washington, hits
upon the following analysis of the new Admin
istration, and adds: "Young America is no
where, and the Wings may prepare for brilliant
success at the Fall Elections The classifca
ton is very fair, and we think the result pre-
uicted is very likely to follow:
