THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL.

The country around st. Paul is but thinly
settled, the lands in msrket unfortunately
having mostly fallen into the hands of spec
ulators. The soil up the river (lO miles) to
st. Anthonys Falls, is mostly rolling prai-
rie, of black sandy loan. But small por-
tion is cultivated where it is, the farms
look well. Several fields of spring wheat
showed to good advantage. Winter wheat
has not been sufficiently tried to test the
practlcabiity of cultivating it to advantage.
But few fruit trees have been put out: the
climate certainly must be we'll adapted to
apples, although too cold for peaches. The
excuse for this neglect is that people have
been too much engaged in land speculations
to attend to such small matters as cultiva-
ting fruit trees.
The soil, as you approach the Falls of St.
Anthony, and In the Immediate vicinity of
the village, is of a lighter sand than between
that point and ST. Paul. The falls fully an
swer the most sublime description which |
had ever read. The sullen roar of the water
over the cataract becomes grand reality
filling the beholder with awe and reverence
for this sublime specimen of Gods works.
The village is pleasantly situated on the
banks OF the river, extending nearly two
miles, about equal distance up and down
from the falls. The town is neatly built
with framed buildings generally painted
The stores are of good size, the dwellings
mostly of small or convenient size for fami-
lies Much more attention is paid to gar
dening here than in st. Paul A little com
mencement, | saw, had been made towards
the cultivation of fruit and shade trees. A
population of 2500 is claimed here. and from
appearances I should judge it to be about
one-third as large as st. Paul The water
power here is sufficient to turn all the spin
dies at Lowell, and as much more as YOU
please. At present there are eight saws un-
der one roof, one grist-mill, and one sash
factory, in operation. Three islands lie in
the channel of the river just above the falls.
A bridge is now building across to the lower
end of the upper one. A small steamboat
runs above the falls to Sauk rapids, 90 miles.
The inhabitants of st. Anthony think that
they are In about the prettiest place in the
world, and they are nearly half right; but
cannot see anything short of some new man
ufacturing establishment, or some other great
improvement, which will much increase
their population. The country on the OPP
posite side of the river, down to Fort Smell
ling e miles), is rolling prairie, very hand
some, and most of the way enclosed and
cultivated. New and neat framed houses
are erected. Opposite st. Anthony the town
of Minneapolis is laid out, the Temporal
ry seat of justice of the county of
Hennipen. This ic altogether a squatter op-
Grafton, as the land has not yet been brought
into market. There are two weekly papers
published at st. Anthony. Fort Smelling is
a high and commanding position at the
junction of the Minnesota with the Missis-
sippi. OBSERVER.

TASTE BEFORE ExTRAvAGANCE.-
body has said that's Partisan gri2ette, with
little tulle and ribbon, will conquer the world.
while an English woman, with all her
shawls, damasks and diamonds, looks onv
like an animated clothes shorse. There is
some eXaggeration iii this statement, but
more wit and still more truth. The women
of France questionably have a better taste
in dress than those of Great Britain or even
America. In both our mother country and
this, there is too much of what may b.
called "snobsm in female attire The
ladies of Anglo Saxondom seem to fancy
that the more they spend on dress the prettier
they look. Accordingly, one sees little wo-
men covered all over with lace, or buried in
the middle of stiff broCade, or almost io,t -
sight under putting velvet CLOAK, with
caps that extend on either side like gigantic
wings. Or one behOlds tall women, if such
is the fashion, tricked out in tight sleeves,
and striped silks the cOstlneSs of the ma
terial being regarded, by the wearer, as sutfi-
cient compensation for he incongrui,y of
the style.
A French servant girl, even, has better
taste. She knows it is not so much the
richness OF the material, as the way it is
made up, and the manner in which it is
worn, that gives the desired air of elegance
neat fit, graceful bearing and a proper
harmony between the complexion and the
colors, has more to do with Frightening ie-
male attractions than even American ladies
seem particularly 10 comprehend. MANY
wife looks prettler If she would but know
it, in her neat morning trock of calico, than
in the incongruous pile of inery which she
dignifies with the title Of full dress. MANY
an unmarried female first wins the heart OF
her future husband, in some simple, unpre-
tending attire, which, if consulted about,
she would pronounce too cheap for ordinary
wear, but which by its accidental suitability
to her figure, face and carriage, idealize her
youth and beauty wonderfully. If the sex
would study taste in dress more, and care
less for mere expense, they would have no
reason to regret it. At present the extrava-
gance Of American females in their dress Is
proverbial. We wish we could say as much
of their elegance in the same line Ledger.

A STATE CONVENTION OF THE PEoPLE.-
The Cleveland Herald proposes holding a
State Convention of the people, on the 18th
of June, Bunker Hill day,) 18th of July, or
the 18th day of July, the anniversary of the
passage of the Ordinance Of ST. to give
utterance to the indignation which every
where pervades the people Of the State for
the passage of the bill repeating the Missouri
Compromise. We second the motion. We
hope it will be held at Columbus on the 18th
OF July-a most fitting anniversary to con-
slider the deep wrong inflicted upon the free
States by the passage of the Nebraska bill
Let 1t not be a Convention for mere talk and
resolutions, but meeting to acton nomi-
nations for State officers-of men who will
respect the true feeling of Ohio upon this
subject. Let it be meeting which will
unite all the opponents of the Nebraska
wrong, all the friends of Northern rights,
and the enemies of doughlaces. Let it be a
meeting to organize for the coming contest
"a contest which involves the question:
whether there is North or not - Cincin-
natl Gaz.

tdTdtlOT.' This statement the law requires
to be UerJicd by oath or affirmation" The
form of the verlfication' is not prescribed
and each one may choose such form as
he pleases, provided it amounts to verif-
cation. But Mr.. Morgan, probably believ-
ing that the new state of things produced by
the action of the supreme court needed leg
islation to give effect to the decision, and
that the general assembly had again been
guilty of {" oversight" boldly steps forward
and interpolates upon the statute of 1852
the following oath, which at least has the
merit of being clinchcr upon the poor tax
payer:
" And | do FURTHERMORE solemnly declare
and affirm that in listing my moneys and
credits have made no deduction therelrom
on account Of amy Indebtedness for which
am liable"
AS the auditor of state has clearly no
power to compel the people to take such an
oath, 1t will not be submitted to in many
parts of the state. A storm of Indignation
exists in Hamilton county in consequence of
the arrogant assumption of this officer. A
thousand of the principal men and firms Of
the city have signed pledge to resist this
usurpation of power. The auditor says a
refusal to take the new oath will subject all
persons so refusing to penalty of fifty per
cent. If he is sustained in this, we do not
see what use there will be in having any
more legislatures while Morgan lives; for it
would be an useless expenditure of the peo-
pies money to pay one or two hundred men
for doing, bienniaLy, what this gentleman
manifests such an aptness for doing to order
any day in the week. Sandusky Register.
