"iIow many wants." saith J. p. F., an old
gentleman whose principal business seems to be
to try botanical experiments with exotic garden
seeds, and moralize on general Subjects 'IIow
many wants." quoth he musngy, ''depcnd on
one want. For want Of rain, the river is getting
short of water; for want of water can't get logs
down from the Pineres; for want of logs the mills
have to stop and we're out of lumber; for want
Of lumber have to suspend building operations,
and mechanics want employment; for want of
houses rents rise. and immigrants unaccustomed
to the cxisenccs of camp life go away where they
can get shelter,-and all these wants together
combine to produce want of money among the
mechanic and laboring classes; which in it. turn
creates want of bread and butter, not to say a
want of the contentment, which ''with dinner of
herbs is better than a stalled OK" Pretty good

REAL ESTATE SALEs.-We learn from Col. Nc
Kenty that during the last As hours he and the
Deacon (CaldwelD have effected sales of Real Es-
tate to the amount of $4,000. The sales were
made in a quiet way the purchasers being prac-
tic men who came among us to become tllers
of the soil and are wholly uninfcctcd with the
speculative mania. The same property, the Col
informs US, was offered one year ago, at one third
the sum. We deprccate the excitement which
locks up Intellectual capital in non n-productive
lands but such sales as the ubove exhibit the rap.
id appreciation of lands in our vicinity arising
from the legitimate growth of trade as well as
from our prospective position as the City of the

A FUNNY REASON.

The Pionec: startled the unsuspectng public a
day or two ago, by announcing that it had been
on its dignity for while past; AMI that's the
son it gives why it has never denied the constant
assertion, and uniformly acquiesced in The popu-
lar suppositon, that it the special and chosen
organ of Gov. German, as it bad always been his
foremost champion-and fed upon his pap-with-
out any apparent consciousness Of the ''disgrace"
implied in this subscrviency to of the ''Gov-
ernor's small calibrc." Considerations of dig
nifty imposed silence. Our readers will have OBJ
served that its dignity has not prevented it from
stopping to retail current street ISLANDERS to sub
serve low vindicivencss, and that this awful con-
sderation did not deter it from fabricating It's
sue of falsehoods on the of the city election,
that would have done honor to the tactics Of a
fifth ward politician of Gotham. Dignity, oh! alb!
The sublime highth to which the pseudo organ
must have attained during this period of mental
and moral exaltation, will account for the excess
sivc smalness of that print in mental and NOR
al point of view, pretty much account for
the diminished proportions of weather cock on
church steeple.
The Pioneer will pardon US, however, if this
sudden assertion of the gift of speech under its
accumulated provocations, reminds us of hard
ridden animal in the Bible, which was goaded in
to like unexpected exercise of the faculty Of ar
ticulation-though the beast in that case had the
advantage of the Pioneer, by making frank
avowal of his ownership ssAnd the ass said un-
to Balaam .-.....
"Am not thine ass, which thou hast ridden
ever since was thine unto this t1ay2'o
We cannot agree with the st. Paul Times that
the people Of the North and Kansas should take
up arms and lawlessly return blow for blow with
the Missourians. If the Federal Government is
good for anything, it is bound to repress the in
vaders and punish them for these outrages. If
the President, the military chief of the nation,
and the executors of it's laws, does not vndicate
the supremacy Of those laws, and maintain their
dignity, he deserves to be impeached.-St. An-
thony Republican.
Cy The Republican misrepresents Us. If Mis-
souri, invades Kansas let Kansas repel the raid by
force, and inasmuch as Missouri rufilns propose
to exclude Northern people from Kansas by force
of arms and Danish its Northern settlers by vo-
| lence-and to wage war of determination and
prescription against Northern men-we say let
Northern people go there, as they wist, notwith-
standing,-let them 60 there armed-prepared to
resist to the death the threats of the bandtti-
As for the sectional interposition of the North,
that was urged only in the event that the South
adopted the cause of the border ruf6ans and that
the Federal Government should refuse to restrain
them. 1t wonld then be the duty of the North to
protect itself in Kansas or elsewhere. That was
our doctrine.

0 The Chicago Press speaking of vandalia,
expresses its confidence that if it could get the

WASHINGTON, April 80.

WAsHiNGION, April 80.
The Administration is sorely perplexed about
Kansas affairs. Secretary Davis, who is the ru-
ling member of the Cabinet, sides with the Atchi-
son party against Governor Reeder. The Pres
ident has spoken freely in condemnation of the
new working of squatter sovereigty, but it is be-
lieved will ultimately be influenced by Davis
Gov. Reeder is hourly and anxiously expected
here.
The removal of Josiah F. Polk, a relative of
the late President Polk for many years clerk

SAD CAsuAlrr-Duringt the thunder storm on
tho night of the l4th ult., an out-building at
tached to Berryman's high-school, in Arcadia,
Madison county, No., was struck BY lightning
and burned. Four students, sleeping in the build
ing at the time, were burned to death. Il is sup
posed that they were stunted by the shock of
lightning and rendered unable to make their es-
cape, as other students, who were in an adjoin-
room succeeded in getting out uninjured.

From the Republican.
St. Anthony items.


BRIDGE REPAIRs.--The repairs of the Suspen-
sion Bridge had been greatly retarded by the want
OF the necessary timber. 1t is now hoped that
the workmen will be able in the course of two
weeks to commence replacing the ssgone'' part of
bridge. The call for such structure was never
before so great; and if the Bridge Company could
have their loss made up by the regrets Of ferry
passengers, it wonld easily be done.
SUIciDE.-A man committed suicide at Mr..
Lords boardng-house in Minneapolis, last Sum
day by cutting his throat with razor. We un-
derstand he had given indications of insanity for
number of days previous, probably induced by
the measles, though it is said he had been subject
to wandering spells before. His name was Pco-
pies; and he was from Maine, but had been in the
pinery during the winter. . ..
LUMBER MATTERs.-Again the st. Anthony
mills are tied up for the want of logs. A portion
OF " the drive'' has reached Rum River Boom,
passed through it, and come down to rest at Coon
Rapids; but most of the logs are still indefinitely
behind. The water furnished by the Mile Lac
dam was not enough to bring them down; and we
hear of an imense jam, three miles long, at one
point in Rum River. Probably some of the logs
at Coon Rapids will be got off soon and aoatcd
down to supply our mills.
AT Anoka, we were pleased to learn, the mill
has received large supply of logs. Let US be
patient Pine trees are..growing.
p. S.-A few struggling logs keep coming
down; it is thought there will soon be enough to
supply the home demand

Barstow's recent veto of the liquor prohibition
law in that State, may be gathered from the fol-
lowing paragraph, from Wisconsin prper:
ga deputation of ladies from Stoughton, lately
presented Gov. Barstow with box of treasures.
The box, which was white, was trimmed with
black ribbon and Grape, and contained 80 pieces
of copper, some tobacco and cigars, bottle of
':btters," some tar and ducks feathers, and a
piece of crane which the Governor was requested
to attach to the topmost spire of the Capitol as
sign of the States mourning. The box was ac-

The latest account is from Gortschakoff, dated
