SALTWATER, MONDAY Evening.
The excitement attendant upon the Land
sales has entirely subsidized each individual
of the assembled multitude has departed to his
home, and the usual quiet of this orderly viii
lage again takes the place of hustle and noisy
tongues Before the sales commenced, the
claimants had mostly adjusted all their dim-
culties between themselves, and by this wise
policy presented an undivided 'front.' lhose
claims--comprisiihg very iew-which could
not be thoroughly adjusted, were allowed to
De bid of in the name of the public bidder, Mr..
Marshall and the land will remain in his pos
Session until the difficulties between the claim
ants are settled by arbitration. When the
sale was opened, about two or three hundred of
the most determined men have ever met, took
their station in front of the auctioneer. It
needed but glance to behold in every coun-
tenance man who knew his rights ''and know
ing dare maintain them" Many were armed
with formidable clubs, which, nasmuch as there
were no bidders to oppose them. We are happy
to say proved great waste of timber. Half
cart load of these ugly looking bludgeons
aight ave been picked up in the street after
the sale.
The peaceable manner in which this sale went
of, is regarded as happy precursor of the sale
of the remainder of the Reserve lands, which
takes place at Minneapolis next Monday May

have never known Saltwater to present a
more prosperous appearance than does this
season. The brisk state of the lumber trade
during the past summer has left its marked cf
feet upon the town. \ great number of new

GLIDING mills. large warehouses; an extensive
blacksmith shop. and many dwellings. The ex-

| have met here day several gentlemen
from the Upper st. Croiy, who are anxious t,
know whether the remainder Of the Point Doug
las and st. Louis River Road is to be put un
der contract this season. There is great ankle
ty felt about this matter. and Il general desir,
that the road should be made passable through
to Lake Superior at as early day as possible
| believe it is the intention of the officer il
charge to carry out this plan with the 5000
recently appropriated.
Talking OF roads, our neighbors of Wisconsin
across the Lake, are in high spirits at the pros
pcct Of an early completion of their railroad
from Hudson to Lake Superior. They bra!
tha: they will yet triumph in killing st
Paul" 1t remains for our people to say whe
Their they will or not.

The Swamps near Hudson, Ohio OH Fire.

BUFFALO. Aug. 81.
In Ohio. the pine svamps west of Hudson
have been burning for several weeks. The
meadows to the extent of several hundred
acres. have been burnt ont TO the depth of four
feet, and will, when the swamp fills with wa
ter, become lake. The fire would commence
eating under, and whole acres were under
mined, when, finding vent, it would burst out
iurioasly, consuming everything within reach.
President Pierce. of Hudson College, went
to TIE swamp to view the scene, when he saw
large trees. apparently on solid ground, COM
mcnce tnmbling as though caused by an earth
quake. The fire broke out all around him, and
lac narrowly escaped with life.
The inhabitants in the vicinity are in a state
of untmost CONSERVATION.
