WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 25, 1854.
ArrIEs IN MINNEsOrA.-We were yesterday
presented with an apple raised at Buck Horn
Prairie, between Saltwater and Arcola, on the
St Croix, by Mr.. David Lyman, who has
thrifty young orchard just beginning to bear,
growing on his farm. The tree on which this
apple grew has been transplanted only four
years. 1t is of the "Rcd Bellows species,
measures nearly one foot in circumference, and
is as beautiful specimen of the apple as we
recollect to have seen for long time,-thus
proving, that with the proper means, Mnncso-
ia may be made one of the most productive
fruit growing sections OF our union. AND ASIDE
from the pleasure and the luxury of having
an abundance of excellent fruit growing in our
own field, it is business that is sure to pay
four-fold more profit to the farmer than any
other one thing to which he can turn his atten-
ton for the next fifteen years.
The GERMANS on THE MOvE.-The Germans
Of Illinois going i'll body for the Wing and
Republican candidates at the approaching cleo
ton. The Zeitung, a smart German paper pub
lished at Chicago, was the first paper in that
Stale to denouncc Douglas and the Nebraska
trcachery. The Germans are true friends to
freedom, and their impulses and sympathies
must naturally lead them to cooperate with
the Wings. They have seen enough of scrIdOm
in the old world and have no desire to see its
curses continued aud perpctuated in the land
Ut their adoption.
ANOTHER BABY SnOw--BARNUM IN THE FIELD.
p. T. Barnum gives notice that great Ma

"THE Sr. CRoIx CNIoN," the new Democratic
paper at Saltwater, has made its appearance.
1t is neat and well printed sheet, edited and
published by F. S. Gable and ". NJ. Easton 1t
goes democratic" after the manner the pre-
sent Administration understands that term, but
locally is strongly in for Minnesota generally,
and the st. Croix Valley particularly, in which
latter essentials we entirely endorse the Union.

ns- In publishing the recent Chippewa
Treaty yesterday, which We copied from the
Saut Ste. Marie Journal, Paul H. Bcaulieu was

vailed as Chippewa Interpreter, and perhaps
might pass for a good inspector OF the tribe
but We did not intend to designate him thus.
TRUE.--The Hartford Republican says ut
is a great folly, and an impcrtinence, to boot
for people coming from abroad into this coun-
try, to undertake to sustain their nationality
here, to abrogate whatever Of our laws they
don't like, and 10 violate whatever of them
they can't abrogate to try to break up free
and unsectarian school system to prevent free
speech to destroy the excellent laws intended
to protect that great religious and political i'll
stitutiou, the Christian Sabbath
