Items from the 81. Anthony Express,

Hay IN THE PINERTEs.-We are gratified to
learn that all abundant crop of hay has been
put up in the woods for numbering purposes
next winter. Most of it is stacked in excellent
order The lumbcrmcn are determined to
walk into the pine next winter with stout
hearts They will not "give it up So" There
will be large increase of teams in the woods
this winter Those that have logs lying over
summer, will have to drive them next spring.
and think there will be no more trouble to
drive two winters work than one. We know
of a good many that have come from the lum-
bering districts of Wisconsin Maine and Penn
sylvania, this year, that "intend" to put teams
into the woods this winter in addition to the
| old lumbermen. Several of our lumber MGR
chants are obtaining advances on logs from
capitalists residing below. They are mill
owners of course.
WINTER WHEAT.-We learn that VIM. Han
son, Esq, of Minneapolis. has about IS bushels
of winter wheat, raised in this Territory, which
he intends to sell for seed. "Frst come first
served" We hope that our farmers will i'm
prove this opportunity to get seed and give
the wheat fair trial You that raise in oak
openings should especially give this chance of
obtaining wheat their attention. We under
stand that others have winter wheat TO sell,
but not in any considerable quantities.
Hon. G. C. WAsHBURNE.-This gentleman,
who is a member of the next Congress from
Wisconsin, made brief visit TO St. Anthony
the present week. He stopped with his friend,
ID. Morrison. Esq, during his stay. Mr. Wash
burne is gentleman of popular and engaging
manners, and although Free Soilcr in senti-
mcnt, is man of liberal and enlightened
views of men and things, and tolerant in
opinion.
GLENcoE.-This is the name of a new town
on creek called by the Indians, the place
where they make Buffalo, The Hon. Martin
Mcleod, Hon. James Mayall of Maine, Isaac
B. Brown, A. J. Bell. ESD, and one or two
others are the proprietors. Those who have
visited that part of the Territory inform us
that it surpasses any thing that they have ever
seen. Many of our citizens are talking about
moving to that neighborhood. 1t is the geo.
graphical centre of what will eventually be
the State of Minnesota.
STEAMER FALLS CITY.-John Jackins, ESQ.
of Minneapolis, has been selected to take |
charge of this boat. Captain J. is one of our
Oldest and most respectable citizens. He is |
we'll acquainted with the river. Having been
engaged for the last few years in furnishing the
lower country with lumber, he knows every |
bar and turn in the river from this City to ST. |
Louis. We are gratiGed to learn that the boat |
is making more money than any other craft on
the river at the present times. Under his
skilful command it could not be we'll other
wise.
The Falls City leaves Tuesday and returns
on Monday of each week.

unwise coarse subsequently pursued by Gov.

porary to manufacture capital for Mr.. Rice, We
consider little the most absurd piece of i'm
pudence ever attempted to be palmed off on
an enlightened community. The idea that Mr..
Rice stepped into the Legislature last winter
and secured the passage of the Apportion-
ment bll--he at the same time being nearly
two thousand miles from here, and when it
took about four weeks to carry intelligence to
Washington and back-could have been con-
ceived by no other than the person who moved
to put out all who were making noise At the
Rice Convention, lately held in the Court
House. Although there were the most strenu-
Gus efforts on the part of many of the members
to defeat the Apportionment. the credit of its
passage, or the responsibility of its defeat, can
in no way he connected with Mr.. Rice. Neither
can there be any great credit claimed for the
friends" of Mr.. Rice in this matter, for a re-
ference to the Journal of the House of Repre-,
sentatives will show that of the s.ucn nays on
the passage of the bill. four of them were by
men who arc now the most noisy in his support
The other three are supporters of Mr.. Olmsted
Among the eleven yeas we cannot count but
four who are favorable to the election of Mr.
Rice, though there may be one or two others.
In regard to the subsequent action" of Gov
German in the matter, We neither know MOI
care anything about but if the Sentinel man
can show how the "back counties" are going
to be disfranchised at the coming election, he
will have made a discovery that the .'back
counties" will not thank him for.

Singular Adventure of a Lost Child.

On Saturday. the 9Th ult.. child of Henry
Nicholson, residing about two miles north OF
Rockaway, went into the woods with an older
brother TO hunt the COWS. The boy was only
about five years old, and by some means got
sepaI atcd fl ON his brother, who came home
without him. The mother then started in
search of him, but he could not be found. On
Sunday. the parents. aided by few neighbors
searched in vain, and in the afternoon some
seventy persons turned out TO scour the woods
but they found no trace Of him. On Monday
| probably over one hundred persons were
searching the woods in all directions, and on
Tuesday and Wednesday it is said that two
hundred were searching, but without discover
ing him. On Thursday morning young man
| from Denmark Forge concluded he would
search, and accordingly went from his house
| to Beach Glen, directly across the mountain,
which overlOoks the Glen.
In the top of that mountai lying on a rock
, he found the child alive and bright but very
thirsty and hungry. lie bad lived on berries
and told bis discOverer that he was Cooking
for the red cow, but had not found her yet"
Being very timid. it is supposed that he had
heard the calls of the men looking for him. and
had bid himself. for they went several times
through the mountain where he was found. For
the same reason be had not dared to approach
the houses in the Glen which were in sight.
When found he had given up hope of finding
his way home. lie had been without food since
Saturday noon until the next Thursday FORE
noon, about five days, except the berries he
picked in the woods. During that time be had
not had a single drop of water. The little fel-
low was disinclined to tell his adventures, but
called loudly for bread and water, which were
given him sparingly at first The boy is now
