The Drought in the East.-CrOps in Min
nesOta.

1t is really melancholy to read the &C
counts in our exchanges, of the prevalence
of the drought in almost every section Of
the country Even in regions heretofore
deemed the most fertile portions of the I'm
ion, the warm, dry weather has caused to
|wither and dry up every vestige of vegeta-
ton, and the prospects of the poor for the
coming winter are indeed sad and even
the opulent will find difficulty in procuring
this season their accustomed luXuries.
While this state of things exist elsewhere,
we of Minnesota have ample cause for graf
Iitude, that here the toll of the husbandman
has met a better reward-that here plenty
is seen on every hand. While it is true that
the present has been the hottest and drycst
summer known in Minnesota for the last
twelve years, it is equally true that the
earth has never yielded SO prolifically her
rich treasures to the sons of toll. Our grain
crop is exceedingly large our vegetable
yield abundant, and our farmers have been
enabled to smile DER their wcll-fIed gamers.
The soil Of Minnesota is adapted to eli
ther uet or dry weather. Being of rich,
sandy loan, moisture penctrates to a great
depth and when the earth becomes parch-
ed on the surface, it throws off, as it were,
the dampness confined within it. This ac-
counts for the immense crops produced this
season where there has been little rain and
when the weather has so long continued
hot.

ROBBERY WITH CHLORoFoRM.-Onc of the
most daring robbcries on record was commit
ted recently at Red Bluffs, California. The
thief or thieves succeeded in abstracting from
the safe of Messrs. Bull, Rucker e. Co., the
sum Of $l0,0S0 in money, while at the time
eight persons were asleep in the room contain,
ING the safe, one of the sleepers being Mr.. Bull,
the chief partner. The key was taken from
his pocket and the money carried off without
awakening any of the sleepers. A San Fran
cisco paper, i'll describing the affair, says:
There are strong reasons for believing that
chorolorm was administered to the persons in
the room, as none Of them awoke until an I'M
usually late hour on the following morning, and
they all experienced sensations similar to those
produced by strong Opiates.'

Dedication.

To the untiring exertions of their
Pastor, Rev. Mr. RIHEIDAFFER, ever since
he has been among them, the members of
his congregation are indebted for the event
consummated yesterday-the dedication of
their new and beautiful Church to Divine
Worship. 1t affords us pleasure to mark
the onward progress Of a man, Divine or
layman, through difficulties, and surely those
he has been called to surmOunt were OF no
ordinary character When he came among
us there were few of his faith in ST. Paul E;
and they with few exceptions, of limited
means Relying for help and strength upon
Him that sent him." he was not discour-
aged. Week after week would he preach
the Word to a meagre congregation and by
example as well as precept, teach the beau
ties Of the faith he professed In 1852 he
visited those of his belief in the States and
procured assistance to build a Church, and
yesterday had the pleasure Of defeating as
beautiful an edifice to the service of God,
as there is in the city. His congregation is
rapidly increasing, and he enjoys the good
will OF all saint and sinner, for his modest
demeanor, his unaffected manners and un-
varying Kindness cannot help but convince
all of his sincerity. We learn the Ded;-
cation sermon, as all had a right to expect
from Mr. RIHEIDAFFER, was eloquent and
delivered with power.

The LUMBER TRADE.-We have been in
formed by a gentleman posted in such mat
ters, that the number of teams in both the
Rum River and st. CrOiX Pineries the com,
ing winter will double those of last. The
greatly increased demand for lumber has in.
duced quite an immigration hithcr the pres.

and the profits much less.
