Loox Beyond D!-Strangers who visit our
city should net Judge Of its size by casual
glance at upper town, as is too often the case,
but they should stroll out the Fort road, take
round o. the bluff pass out on the St. Anthony
road and witness the new buildings in course
of erection there, and then drive to Trout
brook, and Daytcn's bluff, and if by the time
they end their journey they do not call this a
fast city, then they are incap bic ofapprecialing
energy and greatness. Don't go home growl-
ing because you have not seen but two locks
of buildings. Look about, and see what W
are-what W. We're eight years ago, and wha.
we are destined to be in ten years, and then If
you wish to blow-go 1t.

ST. ANTHONY ITEMS,

From our Regular News Cleaner.
ST. ANTHONY, AUGUST 5, 1856.
REPUBLICAN MERTING.-The Republicans of this
city held meeting for the formation of Free
mont Club, on Saturday evening last. 1t was one
of the largest and most enthusiastic public meet
ings ever held in this place, and was quite in.
spiritipg to the friends of the Pathfinder in our
vicinity. A large number Of Germans were in
attendance and manifested their interest in the
Republican cause by an earnest participation in
the proceedings. Addresses were made both in
German and English, and preliminary steps taken
for the organization of Club. 1t must be ap-
parent to every one that this is most discreet
commencement Of what promises to be most
successful campaign. Organic, deliberate, dill.
igent, judcious and persistent action is the only
requisite of success, when correct principles con.
stitute the platform of operations, and we may
hope much from such beginning for the Repub-
lcan ticket in this district, the coming Fall. Let
the party throughout the Territory initiate the
example of St. Anthony in this respect and it will
sweep with an unsparing bosom, every vestige of
pseudo democracy, with all its corrupt and cor
rupting men and influences, from our Territory =
MAD Doo.-The rumor, day or too ago, that
a mad dog had been killed within the city limits,
has elected some remark and general caution.
If the said dog was really rabd, our city council
ought to take measures at once to prevent the
spread of so dreadful canine malady.
GoIN0 AHEAD !-Jno. Messengers triangular
building, on the corner of Main and Rolln streets,
is now quite finished exteriorly, and almost ready
for occupation. 1t makes very imposing ap-
pearance. The extension of the mill dam be-
tween the islands is progressing rapidly. A nu-
merous force of laborers is engaged in excavating
for abusments and rock for the bridge below the
Falls. The new Hotel is gradually lifting its
hugh proportions towards an altitude that will
render it visible for many miles around. This,
when finished, will form by far the most imposing
architectural pile in our city perhaps in the Ter
ritory; and certainly it will speak much higher
praise of the energy and liberaity Of our citizens
than could any words of mine Dwellings a nd
business establishments are every where going up.
Minneapolis especially, is progressing far beyond
anything ever saw, and in one year will have
grown entirely out of the remembrance of those
who do not see it for that length Of time. And
the buildings are generally of very superior
kind. There are already more elegant and attrac.
tive dwellings on that side than We can boast of
at three times her age. There is a constant de-
mand for lots and generally on the part Of those
who wish to occupy them.
More in few days, TOM.
Eve hope our Republican friends throughout
the Territory viii initiate the example of the
Republicans of St. Anthony. Organisation, har-
mony and constant exertioa are necessary to
successfully.

FooD roR QUA PoLIcE.- Our neighbor ol

lice. consisting Of the following:
A man was knocked down in Third street
on Monday night last, and robbed Of gold
watch and sum Of money. AT the time he
was partially intoxicated, and is unable there

A physician was tracked by one Of these
scoundrels, a few nights since, but when con-
fronted with Colts revolver, he took leg
bail
A man was knocked down little after dark
on Robert street, on Monday evening last.
We are informed that one of our policemen
passed by during the disturbance, but. for some
reason best known to hiuseii, took no notice
Of the afray.
A man by the name Of Smith was robbed Of
$500 in money and gold watch vaued at
$3.50, at the Merchants Hotel last week. No

blown out in order to support TOUR day and

things. "Rows. riots and rumpuses," are the
order of the day, spiced with robb ries and
brutal assaults. We tell our citizens that
these things must be checked or Vigilance
