ST, ANTHONY ITEMS.

From the ST. Anthony Republican.
MINNESOTA ApPLEs.--"THE Coon TINE is Con-
Mel. Bostwck, Esq. of this city, has in his
garden, on Oak street, young apple tree, bear
ing the most promising crop of fruit. They al
ready about an inch in diameter. The tree has
not had unusual attention, and shows conclusive
ly that this will bc,,a good apple country.
We believe this is about the first appearance of
Minnesota apples in this vicinity. We hope
farmers and all others, will take more decided
interest in the cultivation of such kinds OF fruit.
THE s'4rn' AT ST. ANrnoNY.-Asde from the
sending up of some rockets last evening, from
Main Street, and from Cheever's Tower, there
was little ''going on'' in town yesterday. Most
of the people seemed disposed to 60 abroad.
THE NORTH SrAR.-This new boat made trial
trip on Tuesday, going up the river few miles.
We under stand that her machinery worked we'll.
Yesterday she took a pleasure party up n short
distance, when her pumps broke and she was cast
on bar, ana remained there most of the day.
From observation taken on the trip, it appears
there is enough water in the channel to allow the
boat to commence Immediately the active life for
which she was intended.
CO 1t is remarkable how small "circun,-
stance" will derange the regular order Of things.
Our paper is whole day behind hand on account
of some eight or ten pounds addition to domestic
responsibilities. Who cares If subscribers do
grumble!
~. We hear it said that the water in the Mis-
ssspp, at this point, has risen sixteen inches
We still have frequent showers, and the lumber
men are getting hopeful.
The Way WE INcREAsE.--Two years ago, there
were ten legal voters in the neighborhood Of Min
netonka Lake. Now there arc probably two hun
dred in the same section.
CENSUS OF HENNEPIN CoUSTY.--We understand
that the full returns for this most popuous of the
counties west of the Mississippi River, give to-
tai of about torty-one hundred inhabitants.
The Hennepin County Convention appointed
the following gentlemen Delegates to attend the
Territorial Republican Nominating Convention to
be held at St. Paul:
j. b. Hall, D. r. Farnham, C. T. Woodman,
W. Finch, {. Coulard, o. E. Garrison, II. Fetch
err, W. d. Babbtt, j. +. Bradley, B. f. Messer.
A. X. Hartwell, c. G. Amos, j. S. Mann, A. Keith
Ind j. Cochran. They were instructed to fill va
cancies and aid in nominating no man not fully
committed by theory and practice, to the princl-
pies of temperance and anti-slavery.

SourHERsEKs.--.Wehe of quite number
of Southerners who contemplate removing to
Minnesota. They are fully satisfied that Sla-
very is curse, and hence are anxious to take
up their abode in the land Of the West, where
their children can enjoy good education and
breathe the pure ar of freedom. They admit
slavery to be an evil.-.they would gladly get
rid Of it, but the great question with them is---
"hoicF' II seems to us that there never was a
time in the history Of this country. when Slave
ry was 50 odious in the eyes Of the great mass
of the Southern and Northern people, than now.
This may seem strange, hut we believe it to be
nevertheless true, and could the people Of the
South throw off the shackles of Slavery, with
outimpoverishing themselves, they would Cheer
fully do so. There are some, ultra Southern
politicians who cry out Slavery or Disunion,"
but they are comparatively few, compared with
the great mass. When the roots Of the tree
die, the tree itself withers and decays, so when
Slavery becomes odious with those who seek to
perpetuate it, that also must die.

ry. He saw higher and better corn in Southern
Minnesota, than any where else on his route
Flowers which were in bloom when he left st.
Paul, were just beginning to open their petals at
the East. Mr.. Ford is continually among trees,
flowers and shrubbcry, and if any one is capable
of judging correctly, he is.

AN OvERs1cHr.-It was great oversight
in not placing flagstaff on the dome OF the
Capitol upon which the American flag could be
hoisted. There is no more appropriate Or prom
inent building in the city from which the stars
and stripes should float, than the Capitol build
ing of the Territory. We trust the matter will
receive attention even now. The flag should
be raised on all public occasions and during
the sittings OF the Legislature and the Supreme
Court. 1t would give life and animation to
that part Of the city-in fact, to the whole city.
Let us have that flag and flagstaff, MI. Secre.

E1- Gov. Reeder has been assaulted by
Mr.. String(ellow, a we'll known character.
There seems to be determination on the part
of the pro-slavery men in Kansas, to annihilate
Gov Reeder at all hazards 1t can't be done,
and the game might as we'll be stopncd now as
at any other time. The more Gov. Reeder is
rubbed, the more brilliantly will he shine---and
the Administration and its upholders can put
this in their pipes and smoke it.

STILL they CoHE.--Ye notice the arrival
at the Winslow House, Of Mr.. s. B. Winston
and family, Of New Orleans. This gentleman
made investments in and about St. Paul, two

ne now comes to locate. with us permanently.
We feel confident that he will be one of our
most active and useful citizens.

A Coop BusIsEss.---From the proceedings
Of the Council, we observe that the City Justice
has been doing good business. During the
month Of June twenty-one complains were en-
tered---six discharged collected for fines,
and $40 remain uncollected.w Most Of these
cases were for assault and battery, originating
from indulgence in intoxicating drinks. Credit
is due Justice Simons, for the manner in which
he has disposed Of them, laying the fines un.
sparingly thick on the violators of law, and
teaching them that 'the way Of the transgres-
scr is hard" A better way would be TO close
the grog shops ae.F
ANEW D1sEAsE.-The Madison Daily Cou-
rier says that new disease has made its APP
pearance in the city Of New York, one which
puzzles the doctors, and creates considerable
apprehension in other quarters. Il appears at
first like spot on the face, and soon destroys
life as if by modification. If supuration takes
place, it passes off-otherwise death is sure to
follow Some think it is the plague.
This disease has made its appearance and has
had its victims, among several well known fam
lilies of wealth and position in the upper part Of
the city. There is no contagion about it, SEEM
ingly, and it does not appear to be epidemic
1t is probable that some scientific medical in
vestigation on the subject will be had at once
and the result will be made public accordingly
| VIs1roRs.-A numerous party Of visitors
from Troy, New York. have been staying a
the De Soto House for some days, moving lei
surely on their way to St. Paul. They expires:
themselves delighted at what they have seen
and like most others who have visited Galens
this summer, they leave with favorable i'm
preston. The city hereafter is to be a grea
resort for many from the East and South. il
pursuit Of health or pleasure. They can fint
accommodations here for travellers equal to tn

ggy- That's so; there is no better house il
the North West than the De Soto, and if pleas
ure parties can enjoy themselves any wher'
they can there.

SALE OF REAL EsTATE.--The first sale of Real
Estate at auction, by Dayton Packard, came
off at their Office on Saturday. The bids were &C.

the sale O.; Real Estate, and as they have en-
barked in the business with an carnestncss,
backed by capital, we have every reason to be-
lieve that their success is certain.

CRY ScAvESGER.-We observe that the Coun-
Gil at its last session, had in agitation the APP
pointment of City Scavenger. From some
cause the subject was laid on the table, but we
trust it will be taken up again and competent
person appointed to the Office. If even the stones
in St. Anthony street could bepicked up, it would
pay, to say nothing of the removal of the filth in
and about the stores and dwellings Of our citizens.

DR.. Post, formerly periodical agent on
Third street, near main, is practicing medi-
cine with success. "-Cincinnati Dollar Times.
The article which was copied from the same
paper into the columns of the Minnesotian,
read" DR.. Post was studying medicine with
success" The reader will see quite differ
ence. Whether the editor of the Minnesotian
thought he could improve the phraseology Of
the sentence by inserting " studying" or
whether the typo exercised that liberty, is a
question, but one thing is certain, tie Mime
sotian has been guiltier Of even meaner things
than this. 1t will do the Doctor no injury.

GENERAL SHIELDS

Who is now in our Territory, wasa Brigadier-
General in the U. S. Army during the Mexican
War, and greatly distinguished himself in most
Of the battles fought on the Southern line. In
that Of Cerro Gordo he was thought to be NOR
tally wounded, having been shot through the
lungs but he Unexpectedly and marvellously
recovered from that dangerous wound in time to
participate in the subsequent battles around the
city Of Mexico.
After the successful close of that War, he re-
signed his commission and retired to civil life.
But the people of his adopted State, Illinois,
approaching the ability Of one of her most gal
liant sons, soon sent him as one of herrepresen.
tatives to the Senate of the U. S., where he en-
joyed the prominent position of Chairman of the
Military Committee, and it is to him that the
army is principally indebted for many acts Of
wise Legislation during the past six years, and
not the least important Of which is, the increase
of pay to the rank and file of the Army, making
the present position Of the American soldier
superior to that Of any other in the world.
Although the Executive has the initiative in
all Federal appointments to office, yet it may
be said that Gen. Shields now stands the Brig
adier-General elect to the Office recently autho-
rized by the Act of Congress, as expressed by
the voice Of the American people through their
Representatives and Senators in Congress, in
asmuch as it is well understood that the said Of
flee was created with the understanding on the
part Of the members generally, that it was to be
given to him, in consideration Of his tried valor
and ability, and his general popularity in the
Halls Of Congress.
