fine natural scenery, can now indulge them

LIVES LosT.-A sail boat was recently picked
up by tho schr. Kitty Grant, about nine miles
from North Manitou Island, on the side of which
was found written the following:
ssWhoever finds this boat wish would carry
intelligence to my wife, together with $l42 50
dashed to this boat.
H. S. BUSHNELL"
s:Dixon, Lee Co., Ill.''
Also, the following:
&c John Miller, Lewis Larson, H. S. Buck. If
any one finds this property, we wish it sent to our
folks"
The poor fellows probably found watery
grave.
CY A Postmaster is not obliged to register
money letters deposited in his Office for transport
alton by mail. But the department advises that
all Postmasters shall keep some memorandum of
them, so that in case of subsequent loss, the in
vestigation it will occasion, may be more easily
made provided it can be done without extra ex-
pense.
CT Most people think that because they show
their money to the Postmaster before the letter
is sealed, that therefore they can recover the
money if lost. This is not so-it is only done to
facilitate the finding of it.

Poor PAY.-The pay Of a French soldier is
nine cents and half per day, finding himself

than.a Captain in the French army.

EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND. - The emigration
from this unhappy country to our own is almost
incalcuable. Thousands upon thousands arrive
daily at the ports of n. Y. and Boston, and in
stead of decreasing, the tide appears to increase.
1t would seem that by this time Ireland had be-
como almost deserted, and yet s. tho cry is, still
they come" The Mayo Constitution states that
the flight of the comfortable farmer and citizen
class exceeds credibility, and that nearly all are

SAFETY FROM THUNDER SToRMs.-The following
maxims as to places of greatest safety during
thunder storms, may be useful to many: "All
metals and most fluids attract and conduct light
ming, consequently contact with them is to be
avoided. 9. 1t is infinitely more dangerous to
90 under tree during thunder storm, than to
remain out in the open road or fields. Persons
have also been killed when sheltering under the
caves of house, or by the side Of a brick kiln.
By the same rule, corn and hay stacks are to be
avoided. 3. large room is safer than small
one, and it is better always to keep in the CEN
ter of it. Since current of air will in some
measure conduct lightning, position between a
door and window, if open, or window and
chimney, should be avoided. 4. Persons whose
clothes are wet, arc more free from danger than
those whose garments arc dry. Travellers in
side Of railway or other carriages, are in little
danger compared with those outside

a REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATIoN.--Tht
Pittsburg Journal furnishes the following:

''John Baja, lad of 13 years of age, son Of a
widow lady of Allegheny city, had received, some
six months ago, an injury Of the right leg by a
fall, in consequence of which the whole shaft of
the bone had become decayed. To save the
limb, DR.. Walter removed, last week, while the
boy was under tho influence Of chlOroform, the
main bone of the leg, from the knee to the ANGLE
by extirpation.
ssIncredible as it may appear to thenon-profes-
sional, that a limb could be saved and made use
full by the removal of the whole of its main bone,
STILL experience has taught that new bone will be
rapidly generated in childhood, and that the
shape, length and usefulness Of the limb will be
preserved. This is a triumph Of modern surgery
thus to save limb-while it is a gsing to
the afflicted to be restored without mutilation.
The boy is doing we'll, free from pain, and his
recovery appears to be certain"
The following item will tend to explain why We
are paying so high for cattle here at this time:
ssCArTLE FOR CALroRSIA.-The Van Buren,
(Ark.) Intelligencer says:
'Iarge parties of California cattle drovers
have been leaving our vicinity the past week
several large herds are still being collected foi
the same destination, to leave during the week
We suppose from a rough calculation, that owe,
5000 head Of cattle viii have been driven from
the counties of Crawford, Sebastian and Scott
BY the time the last drove leaves this season
We learn that large droves are also being sem
from other frontier counties and the Cheroke.
Nation. Capt Delinkla, at Port Gibson. will

cent meeting of this Company it was stated that
$25O,0OO had already been paid for damages
originating from the Norwalk disaster, and that

Der of deaths on that occasion was ffty-four-
the number injured was not far from twenty eight.
The Company submit to the loss with good
grace, and very justly remark that 6 the levy of

salutary lesson that the safety of the passenger

THE DEFINITION OF GENTLEMAN.-The late
Judge Talfourd, in the case Of Wag VS.. Kelson,
tried at the Bristol, England assizes, shortly be-
fore his sudden death, thus defines the character
Of gentleman:
ssThe evidence proved that the defendant, while
in the theatre, had said to the plaintiff, ''Do not
speak to me, am gentleman, and you are a
tradesman.'' sGcntleman,' said the learned
Judge, sis term which does not apply to any
station. The man of rank who deports himself
with dignity and candor, and the tradesman who
discharges the duties of life with honor and in
tegrity, are alike entitled to it; nay, the hum
blcst artisan, who fulfls the obligations cast
upon him with virtue and with honor, is more en-
titled to the name of gentleman than the man
who could indulgein offensive and ribald remarks
however big his station"

OUR STREETS.

Perhaps nothing attracts the attention of stran-
gers SO quickly as our naturally beautiful SITS.
We do not mean the regularity with which they
are laid out, (for on this head we cannot boast,
neither do we mean the innumerable shade trees
which line their sides, nor their width Or general
comeliness, but we allude to the perfect evenness
with which nature has left them,-almost as prm-
tive as the day the first vehicle ratified over the
virgin soil. Now, shall we take advantage of this
great desderatum and with little expense make
our streets the very best in the North West, or
shall we sit quietly down and allow them to take
care of themselves? We are aware that St. Paul
is young city, and that much has been done and
is now doing to give it shape and dignity, but
this is only a stronger argument why this matter
of streets should receive our earliest attention.
Does the joiner commence building the house at
the top? Does the mason first erect his chimnies,
then his foundations? Why, then, should a COM
munity commence building prior to laying out the
ground? Wide streets, cleared of stones, orna-
mented with trees, squared where other streets
intersect, and uniformly built upon, add much to
the beauty of a place, and have silent influence
upon the minds of many who come among us Ell
Their as visitors or with the intention of remain
ing.
How much would the citizens of Boston give if
their streets were only regular-and how much
have they already expended to straighten some of
their principal thoroughfares? And this natu-
rally suggests the inquiry, how came they crook
ed? By an utter disregard to uniformity at the
time Of the early settlement,-the same disregard
which has prevented ST. Paul from being one Of
the most beautiful and we'll laid out cities in the
Union.
Have the clean, wide, and straight streets of
Philadelphia been detriment to that city? Has
Broadway, N. Y. injured the great metropolis !?
Have the public thoroughfares Qined as they are
with magnificent elms whose branches entwine
with each other and form a delightful shade,) of
New Haven, Connecticut, been the means of re-
tarding the growth of that place? Have they not
rather added to than subtracted from, the inter-
ests of these cities? Then why should not St.
Paul be benefited by wide streets, shade trees,
and the other etcetras incidental and belonging to
we'll regulated city?
Now is the time to arrange these matters, and it
is for the interest every real estate to
that they are arranged, and arranged in such a
manner as to rebound to the credit of our city and
the spirit and enterprise of our citizens.
