WEDNESDAY, 0cT. 10, 1866.



We were favored yesterday with one ofthose
beautiful and delightful spells of weather SO
common TO Minnesota Indian Summer
Early in the morning flags were flying, bands
playing and the streets filled with vehicles,
crowded with patriots hurrying to the polls
All parties were eager to advance the cause of
their various candidates, but good degree Of
decorum was manifested, and we hear of no
serious impediments being thrown in the way
Of those who sought access to the ballot boxes.
Indeed, as general thing, good feeling pre-
vailed among all classes, both foreign and ma
tive. and heavy vote was polled. In another
column we give such returns as we have been
enabled to procure in the hurry and hustle Of
the occasion, and shall add to the list as fast as
we receive additional figures.

Dreadful Catastrophe.

The st. Louis Herald says: 'sYesterday morn
inc, about half past three o'clock, fire broke
out in building No. %, South Main Street, owned
by Amadee Vale, and occupied by Joseph Mar
hin, as a coffee and boarding house. The house
was called the Rainbow Exchange, and was prin-
cipally filled with French boarders. There were
about twenty-five buarders sleeping in the house
at the time of the fire, and all escaped uninjurcd
but FIVE. Two were burned to death, and the 9th.
er three received severe bruises from their falling
on the sidewalk. The policeman on that beat.
Mr.. Woodward, first discovered the light in the
bar-room, and saw the smoke issuing from the
openings in the door. He gave the alarm, and
broke open the doors. The noise awoke the pro-
prietor of the house, who was sleeping in the
second story. The proprietor ran along the pas
sage crying sfrc, fire % so rs to awaken his board
ers, and then escaped into the back yard with his
wife. All the boarders in the second and third
stories down stairs and escaped ,cither through
the back or front doors, excepting August An
tome, -Gerbert, Nicholas Cuno, J. o. Fascio,
and G. Poulet, who did not awake till both lower
stories OF the building were wrapped in flames
Three of them--Cuno, Fascio and Poulet--took
the beds they had been sleeping on in their arms
and leaped out of the third story windows on
to the sidewalk. They fell on the side walk,
distance of thirty feet and yet received no further
injury than a few slight bruises. But Gerbert
and Antoine, probably not awaking till their
rooms were filled with smoke and stranculatiou
had taken place, were burned to q cinder. Our
heart sickens as we reflect upon the sight of the
charred and burned corpses of the two unfortu-
nate men and who, when we reflect upon the
scene OF the fire. and the dreadful spectacle pre-
scented of human beings hanging over a raging
fire, and imporing those below on the street to
save them for Gods sake, it was terrible
sight. ~
Ger0ert was member of the Nauvoo Commu
nifty, and recently arrived in this city. Poulet
has been in this country about three months and
came from Paris.

GroEcr ". ARMSTRONG; This gentleman
has Ecen nominated BY the Olmsted faction Of
the Democratic party, for Tie Council. Mr..
Armstrong is Printer, Il shrewd business
man, and possesses sufficient ability to repre-
sent his constituents well. Mr.. Wilkinson,
the Republican candidate, is far his superior
in ability and experience, and we therefore be-
leve he will give his opponent a close run
in fact, we believe, beyond a doubt, that Mr..
Wilkinson will he elected.
