WRoNc.-Is there no law to prevent dead horses
from being thrown in the Mississippi River just
above the Upper Levee? II not, we would re-

necessity for immediate action. If there Is a law,
we, in common with great ajority of the citi-
zens, would be glad to see it enforced. At this
particular period when the atmosphere seems to
be impregnated with disease all over the country,
we cannot be too cautious of putrd and unclean
matter. Dead animals should be buried or re-
moved beyond the confines of animated life, for
the health of our city as well as common decency
demand it. We ask those who have charge of
this matter, to give it their attention.

SINGULAR SroRY.-The Buffalo Democracy
translates from the Courier des Etats Unis story
of an old Hollander who died recently in New
York. He was twenty-five years ago clerk in a
banking house in Hamburg. He betrayed his
employers, came to America, and invested his
money in the purchase of two buildings Before
he had time to insure them they burned down
Conscience stricken, he determined to repay the
amount when able. He changed his name, and
went into the retail tobacco trade. In FIVE years
me had amassed sufficient, and repaid the money
but was an object Of pity to his neighbors on ac-
count of his apparent poverty, as well as large
hernia, from which he seemed to suffer exceed

assistance and would not change his clothes, but

reason to believe that as soon as these arrive at
maturity, he will be able to raise off of the same
ground large crop of Rutabagoes. This may
appear almost ncreditable to our Eastern friends,
but it is nevertheless true. Who says that we are

who have satisfactory securities. Very large
amounts, millions in the aggregate, are in the
hands of large holders, unemployed for the want
of satisfactory borrowers. Many of the leading
stock houses will not take orders to buy stocks
excepting for cash, which tends materially to re-
duce the demandfo for loans. Meanwhile borrowers
for railroad purposes have been almost entirely
driven out of the market. Now that capital is
withdrawn from this avenue of investment, first

mand exceeding the supply. Railroad acceptan-

The Pioneer remarks in this wise:

DR.. JOHNSON ON L1ARs.-Even the robbcr and
the cut throat have their followers, who admire
their address and inrepidity, their stratagems of
rapine, and their fidelity to the gang. The liar,
and only the liar, is invariably and universally
despised, abandoned and disowned, he has no do
mestic consultations which he can oppose to the
censures of mankind; he can retire to no frater-
nifty where his crimes may stand in place of vir-
tues, but he is given up to the Kisses of the null
ttude, without friend and without apologist.

SHAKoPEE, July 3lst, 1854
Atremendous storm passed over this city on
Saturday night. The wind blew hurricane snd
the rain fell in torrents. As far AZ have been
able to ascertain but little damage has been done
to the crops. An unfinished two story frsme
house was blown down, and some slight injury
done to other buildings.
There are now twenty-five houses in course of
erection in Shakopee, and contracts have been en-
tered into for the erection of thirteen more. The
great difficulty under which we labor is the want
of sufficient lumber, the mills in st. Paul not be-
ing able to supply our demand. =.
The Humboldt arrived from below yesterday,
having large barge in tow. Both were loaded
with freight. The Globe still continues to make
her regular trips to this place, bringing up large
quantities of merchandise.
There have been over two hundred steamboat
arrivals at this place from st. Paul since the
opening of navigation. In fact the boats have
done SO well that nearly every one has the steam
boat mania, and the probability is that there will
be some FIVE or six steamers placed on this river

than one in St. Paul who has not lately travel

their tenure is uncertain, and are nearly all rea
dy to deposit at the land Offices the price of their
farms. Moreover there are some who are not sat-
is6ed with anything, and they keep the people in
constant litigation. The money which some
poor devil has to expend, who is dragged in as
defendant in an action about claims, would in
some cases nearly pay for his land. As long as
the land is kept out of market the legal profess
sion will reap an abundant harvest, and the hard

A NOVEL RACE.-The St. Louis Democrat gives
an account of race in that city between horse

Those who witnessed the scene say that the spec
tacle of the raven plumes, instead OF preserving

whisking in the breeze, was something rather ex-
traordinary, and out of place. The horse with
the hearse outstrpped in the heat and came OFT

GIVE Us THE PRooF.-We have called upon the
'.Scnior of the Minnesotian for proof of his base
slander, but as yet no proof has been given. The
s.Senior'' says ''the fact is notorious about
town. meaning ''that the bona fde owner of the
Times is Alex Wilkin.'' This assertion is all
the proof we can get from him. Again the ''Se-
nior says:
..Whv, Just before the Times was started, he
Gourselfl was boasting all over town that Will
kin was to be the owner of the establishment
which fact was verified when the materials of the
Office arrived here, directed to ALEX. Wilkin.'"
We shall use no soft terms. We again say
that John p. Owens lies, and often as he relt-
crates his charges he lies, and he knows he lies
when he makes them, and he will stand branded
before this community liar until he gives bet
ter evidence of the truth of what he asserts. 1t
is useless to handy words with such a man any
longer, and we therefore bring this matter to a
close by appending the following certificate Of the
real owners of the Times:
We hereby certify that the charge that Alex.
Wlkin is ''the bona fde owner of the Times is
false. Mr.. Wilkin owns but small proportion
of the establishment, the remainder Of which is
owned by us. Z. NJ. NEWSON,

The SCHUYLER RAILROAD Co.-The Democrat
gives its views of this swindling concern, in the
following pithy style:
ssThe more the schemes of this Company be-
come developed, the more palpable does it become,
that it's chief managers are an unmittigated set
of swindlers, whose object is not to build road,
and by the legitimate use of capital and enter
prise secure legitimate profit, but whose whole
aim is by legislative legerdemain and corruption
to secure splendid speculations which they can
we'll afford to divide with Congressman and 9TH
ers who will lend themselves to such dishonest
schemes.'
The Pioneer remarks in this wise:
ssWe have been looking for this news some
days, for, knowing that nefarious fraud had been
committed, we had sufficient faith in the integrity
of Congress to believe that forgeries so atrocous
would not be left to go by unheeded. We ebelieve
this investigation will, unlike most proceedings
of this kind, be thorough and severe. Upon the
heads of the guilty, whatever their position, we
trust public disgrace, and the severest penalties
of the law, may fall"

GY The &c Senior" of the Minnesotian, affects
to be exceedingly funny, because we stated that

in our remark. Can't man be temporary set
tier, that is one who lives ON his claim part of the

Is there not distinction between the actual set
tier and the temporary settler2 And is not this

misrepresent this matter-to lull honest men into
