lndlan Summer Is with us. VI all seasons OF
the year in any land, it is in Minnesota the most
Incompatible in beauty and romantic interest,"
1t comes upon US like the far off sound of music
from waters, and after two months of delight
full weather, leaves with a glow of grateful and
long lingering pleasure. Go over Italy, and the
wales of France, along the Rhine or Bosphorus,
and you will find no scenery worthy of COMPARE
son with landscape of bluff and prairie brown
ing under autumnal frosts, while the clear waters
of innumerable lakes reflect back the mystic
shadows of the skies. Now is the time of hunting,
fishing, general health, and universal enjoyment.
An unceasing tide of strangers are landing daily
on our shores. Minnesota stands forth to- day in
soil, climate, scenery, and position, the most at
tractive portion of America, and men of all
languages, can give no stronger evidence of sense,
than by making habitation within its borders.
Before departed shall be written of the last of
these clear, mellow autumnal days, and the SHOWS
Of winter close up lake and river, there will be
plenty of time for all who believe not Minnesota
doctrine, to come and see for themselves the meas
ure of advantage and enjoyment made manifest
here.

Death of Chief Justice Church.

We learn from the New Haven Journal, that
Hon. Samuel Church, Chief Justice of the Con-
necticut Supreme Court of Errors, died at his
residence in Newtown, on the 18th Of September,
aged 90 years and Z months.
We think it is of this gentleman, although it
nav be his father, of which the following anec-
dote is told. Mr.. Church was small man, and
quite eccentric in his dress, adhering to the old
high coat collars, which nowadays make man
appear more like turtle than human being
lie had case in one of the Philadelphia courts,
when after the lapse of half an hour, the op-
position lawyer, a large and noble looking man;
arose, and stated to the court, that nasmuch as
no one had appeared for the prisoner, he would
suggest that the case be dismissed. Mr.. Church
Immediately arose, thrusting his hands into his
ovcr-coat pockets, drawing his head behind his
coat collar, and in whining voice, exclaimed,
"NIay it please your honor, 1 appear for the
prisoner "You," said his opponent, looking
disdainfully down upon him, "you''! why could
put you in my coat pocket. ''Well, perhaps you
could,'' said Mr.. Church, but if you did, you
would have more law in your pocket than you
have in your head % The Philadelphia lawyer
was nom -plussed-hc was unable to make his case
clear, and consequently Church beat him. Mr.
Church was an unpretending man, but possessed
a clear, vigorous mind, with cool, calm address.
AS we supposed, the Times openly sustains the
Saint Anthony Express in its assaults upon the
character and business of the citizens of st. Paul
-MinnesOtidn.
False! We have never upheld the Express in
any such thing, but hare conceded to our
neighbor the right to utter sentiments adverse to
our own, without heaping upon him disgusting
epithets. When we find the Express or any other
paper, traducing our citizens or seeking to injure
the business Of our city, without cause, we shall
not be backward in denouncing them, but we never
shall demcan our manhood by the corrupt and
malignant course pursued by the Minnesotian.
How IT WoRKs.-''l.Er THE PEOPLE RULE
At meeting of the settlers in Kansas Territory,
the following resolution was supported almost
unanimously.
Resolved, That Kansas Territory, (and as a
consequence, the State Of kansas) of riqtt
should be, and therefore SHALL BE slave ter
rltory.
''Let the people rulc,' is the doctrine, and if
so, according to the above resolution Kansas is
bound to have slavery. Oh, no, said the advocates
of the Nebraska iniquity, Kansas, will never be
slave state we only wish to establish the prin-
cple of popular sovereignty )" there is no dam
ger Of Slavery ever existing in Nebraska or Kan
sas, but then the principle of letting the people
rule, is a popular one, and may be, it will take,
and if So "Glory to God in the highest How
beautifully the plan works.

A few days since an Emeralder made his ap-

and called for a horse and buggy, wherewith to-
attend funeral. The command was obeyed and
horse and buggy stood ready. Whereupon Paddy
inquired as to the amount necessary for the hire.
" Three dollars" was the reply. "Three dol
lars? Och" said Pat, " it's not the horse I want
to buy, it's the rint of him Pm after" After
which he travelled.

CT a man by the name of Green, private
banker of Chicago, has been arrested, charged
with poisoning his wife. After her death, Green
was found digging her grave. 1t was also ascer-
tanned that he had given her some white powder
and requested his little son to throw the bottle
containing the balance far as he could, telling
him he wished to see how far he could throw it.
The Chicago Democrat says that much preju-
dice exists against Green in consequence of his
connection with the murder of a man named
Kent. Green has been arrested and will have
his trial:

THE FALL BUsIsEss-The Fall trade of our
city is already commencing, and in the course Of
few week, our merchants will be actively en-
gagged in supplying The wants of their Gus, omers.
The season opens with The most fla'eIlng pros
pecls for heavy business. and ihe stocks of our
principal houses are probably much larger than
they have ever been before. Augusta is rapidly
increasing in prosperity. and affords facilities for
lhc purchase and quick iar'sporiaiion of goods,
which are not eSceed BY any o,her city. There
is. in FACT. no reason why This should not be so.
We have among us employed in merchandising,
men OF means, capacity and energy, who devote
themselves 20 ,he personal supervision OF their
business. Besides we enjoy .aat greatest OF
all blessings, healthy climate. Perhaps our
civ was never in beier sanitory condition
than AT present No epidemic, as is Tie case in
many of our sister cities, is destroying our popu-
lu,ion, but on every side are seen lhe evidences
of growing wealth and prosperity. Old build
ings are being removed to make room for new
