EDITOR St. Paul Daily Times, Sir: In my
communication of March 10th, made Mr.. Sec

though not justified, &c. 1t should read {" though
not justified by, was the legtimatesrcsut Of" &c.
The resolution as wrote it differs slightly from
the original in words though not in effect.

remarks, we think We are wasting too &c much am
unition on Same that is hardly worth the POWDER"
':P.'' may rest assured that rogues will sooner
or later find their level, although at present they
may affect indifference to the attacks of Truth.
A firm reliance upon Principle will enable a man
to accomplish great things, and that too, when
surrouded by almost insurmountable Obstacles
This should induce every well-wisher of society
to press forward in the cause of Right .gardless

this request from parties SO youthful, looked at
them in blank amazement for moment, but at

ra To Make BEEF TEHDER.- To those who have
worn down their teeth in masticating poor old
tough COW beef, will say that carbonate Of soda
will be found a remedy for the evil. Cut your
steaks into slices about two inches thick, the day
before using rub over small quantity of soda
wash off next morning-cut into suitable thick
ness, and cook to notion. The same process will
answer for fowls, legs of mutton &c. Try it, all
who love delicious, tender dishes of meat.
