we cannot be too cautious of putrd and unclean

Fort AT PENBINA.-A bill arpropriat;ng s., 900
for Fort at Pembina, has been read twice and
referred to the committee of the whole for further
consideration.
BALDwIN ScHooL.-The Trustees of this School
have wisely decided to suspend instruction during
the month of August. This is good move, not
not only for the children, who need all the out
door exercise they can get during this month, but
also for the teachers, who, under too close con-
finement often lose their health and spirits.
CLAssIc.-We make few more classic quota
tions from the dignifed Mnnesotian.-'' Fool"
" "Pop-gun advcnturcr.'' 'Pompous, ignorant
numbskull." GA frothy, selfconceted fool"
We should Judge that the '' Senior'' was get
ting desperate. Don't get in such pet-you

and lowly spirit"
THE CRoPs.-MoRE EvIDEScE.-Maj. P. P. Fur
Der, of st. Paul, informs us that on ground off of
which he raised a crop of Peas, he has now in
blossom fine crop of Potatoes. There is good
reason to believe that as soon as these arrive at
maturity, he will be able to raise off of the same
ground a large crop Of Rutabagoes. This may

rison, the murderer of MIR. and Mrs. Allison
Some have asserted that no was arrested, others
that he is now at large. The latest report is that

GY An Eaglshman in California by the name
of Hughes, has just completed the feat of walk
king plank fifteen feet long by three feet
broad, for eighty hours, without sleep or rest
He won $1,000 by the operation, and we dare say
it was we'll earned.
The true man is he who will not swerve
from duty, notwithstanding the temporary odum
which he is obliged to endure while engaged in
the advocacy of an unpopular theme. Right and
truth will always triumph, while dishonesty and
hypocrisy carry with them their reward.
CyWe can only saw, that if our Wing friends
in the Gaena district desire faithful, energetic
and devoted friend of freedom, they can make nc
worther selection, than in putting the Hon. f.. b
Washburne in nomination for reelection to the
Office which he now fills so ably and so well.-
