The river was full, and there was from
three-and-a-half to four feet of water on the
rapids. A large amount of hardwood logs,
and timber cut out in the rough, for vari-
Gus purposes, were strewed along the banks,
or were floating down the stream. The
excitement arising from certain persons
jumping claims on town sites was subsiding,
as it was firmly believed that in all cases
the original claimants would be confirmed
in their titles. Mr.. SPENCER, who jumped

handled than was supposed, the blow given
him on the forehead, having fractured bis

season from 1000 to 5000 bushels OF
Washington County wheat, direct to Saint
Louis. This is good beginning. He will
also ship some 1900 bushels of potatoes to
the same point.
We make mention Of this only to show
that Minnesota can produce, not only sutii.

is but one among many in this Territory,
who have accumulated surplus of produce,
and ore able to send it to other places for
SALE What will be the export trade Of
this Territory five years hence, taking the
past as guide to judgment, it is easy to
conceive.
Washington County is one Of the earliest
settled in the Territory and its agricultural
character has made it conspicuous. 1t con-
tains many fine farms, and not day passes
during the season but the bosom Of mother
earth within its limits is scanned by the
plow. Industry has met its reward not
only in present gain, but in the certain as
surance Of constantly increasing and great
return for labor expended. That we do
not speak rashly is proved by the fact that,
according TO estimates given to US by a
gentleman eminently capable of Judging,
and occupying position which gives him
full and accurate Information ashing-
ton County has harvested during this last
season upwards Of Is, 900 bushels of Pota-
toes, 10000 bushels of Corn, 1000 BUSH
els of Oats, 5000 bushels Ruta Bagas, and
from 5000 to 10000 bushels of Barley,
with commensurate quantity of all kinds
Of vegetables. The average of bushels of
Potatoes TO the acre is $50, and the in
crease in product is one third greater than
last year. The increase in Oats is more
than one;half over last year, Only about
1000 bushels Of Barley were grown last
year. against 5000 bushels this year. Corn
averaged 40 bushels to the acre, and the
increase is at least one-third. Every thing
favored this crop, as there was neither
frost nor blight. Of wheat, upwards Of
5000 bushels were raised, at an average
of 80 bushels to the acre-the increase is
at least one-third. The crop Of beans is
small, as during the previous year huge
crop was produced all over the Territory.
The quantity Of land put under cultiva

The above viii give some faint idea of
the agricultural character of Washington
county, and of the reward the farmer meets
for his labor. Farming is not carried on

usual labor or expense The rich, mellow
earth yields at once, almost. the treasures
for the granary, and not o little Of the
grain grown was sown upon the upturned
sod. 'fi.'s $3.50
Besides this, there is very considerable
business done in meat provisions, and we
are informed by Mr.. HERrzEL, of Point
Douglass, that within sweep of twelve
miles from that place, he has known Of 600
hogs, averaging $50 pounds to the hog, to
have been slaughtered during the past sea.
son, and that an average Of 9 cents per
pound was obtained for the pork. One
hog. not fed to fatten, Weighed, when
dressed, 40l pounds. A very considerable
number of beeves have also been killed, and
one drove, about 100 in number, averaged
100 pounds for each OK
These facts are worth world of argu-
ment, because they are demonstrative.
What is true Of Washington County is
true of all the Others. In q few years the
agricultural surplus in the Territory will be
immense, and Of necessity an extensive and
valuable export trade must grow up.
