The ST. CRorx We stated the other
day that, owing to the recent rise in the St.
Croix, there wasia good hope Of getting out
the logs, end that 5000, 900 feet Of lumber
were expected at Saltwater This good
news is confirmed by the following para
graph from the Minnesotiaas Of, yesterday !:
"We learn that the recent rains, which
have been much more abundant in Wisconsin
than in this immediate vicinity, have so much
swollen the small tributaries Of the st. Croix,
as to cause rise in the latter stream Of about
two feet and that in consequence Of which
there had already come down into the st.
Croix Boom, on Saturday last, upwards of
10000 logs, or nearly 30,O0O,OO0 feet This
is most gratifying news to the people OF that
valley. Our informant, who was in Saltwater
yesterday, says that large portion Of the
business men had gone up to the Boom to
look after their respective interests" 81"

The grave and responsible duty imposed on
the Convention should be recognized and

firmly, but conscientiously; waving no right

al that may be required for the general
good, and for the success Of the party.
In these Conventions where candidates
are pitted against each other, and their mer-

or local prejudices are aroused, and brought
into active play. it follows Of necessity that
keen disaplointments are created. Earnest
and cherished hopes ore broken down, and

But individual likes Or dislikes have nothing

which find their exponent in it,--and he
cannot be considered as true to the party,
if, when the conflict Of opinion in the Con-

presented duly endorsed, to the Territory,
he shall fail to lend all his aid and strength
toward carrying that standard and its

MosouIroEs.--A writer on entomology
who appears to have considered the subject
states that Mosquitoes are derived from the
"wiggle-tails," which are now to be seen in
great numbers both in river and in rain wa
ter, He says:
took bowl of clean water and set it in
the sun. In few days some half dozen wig
gle-tails were visible. These continued to in
crease in size till they were about 3-l6ths oil
an inch in length. As they approached their
maturity they remained longer at the surface
seeming to live in the two mediums-air and
water;-fnally, they assumed chrysalis form,
and, by an increased specific gravity, sank to
the bottom of the bowl. Here, in q few hours
perceived short black furze or hair, growing
on every side of each, until it assumed the form
of minute caterpillar. And thus its specific
gravity being counteracted, or lightened, it
readily aoated to the surface, and the slightest
breath of air waited it against the bowl. In q
very brief space of time afterwards, the warm
atmosphere Matched out the fly, and It escaped
leaving its tiny house upon the water. After
the water had gone through this process ]
found it perfectly free from animalcule.
Z - He adds: '- ~. ~. ii.lr..f o. .
Any man who has "kept house, with els.
tern in the yard, has doubtless observed the
same effect every summer Open your cistern
cover any morning in the mosquito season, and
millions Of them will fly up in your face. Close
the windows of your room at night, at the
risk of being smothered for want of air, being
careful at the same time previously to exclude
every mosquito, and goto bed with q pitcher
of that same cistern water in the room, and
enough will breed from it during the night to
give you any satisfactory amount of trouble
In fact, standing by a shallow half-stagnant
pool, in midsummer's day, you may see the
wiggle-tails become perfectly developed mos
quitoes, and they will rise from the surface Of
the water and fly into your face and sting you
What it is necessary to know at this day is
has there yet been discovered any positive ex.
terminator of that Internal pest, and disturber
of nights slumbers, the mosquito? s.,.. -.
7 We have not much to say against mos
quitoes, and never, while industriously in
search of them with or without q candle
in full dress or undressed,got so far into
concentrated rage as to wear the diabolical
look which Edgar A. Poe describes as see
ing upon himself in passing looking glass
when so engaged, but we must confess that
we shall hate the sight of wiggletails the
more especially as being the cause of mos
quitoes and innumsrable angry passions.
