THAT MoNIED TRANsACToS.-Your publication
Of communication from j. NJ s. detailing the
particulars oil certain real estate trans seton
on the Minneapolis side, has elected remarks Of
unqualified approval on both sides of the river.
1t had been comparatively secret until then.
Thanks to j. NJ S. and yourself it is no longer so.
Its publication set curiosity agape, and think |
MY venture to say, that row the names of all
the parties are familiar to -fths of our cit-
zens, and let me assure you, with no very fatter-
Ing effect for the parties of the first part" Your
fearless exposure of the guilty is fully appre-
ciatcd and will doubtless be appropriately re-
this neighborhooI; and all the more so, believe
me, since the omission of all notice of the aff,r
by our home papers. The conductors of these
papers may be able to justify such culpabe
oversight to their elastic conscicnccs, but am
sure they are not excused by large number of
their patrons. SO outrageous a breach of COM
mon honesty, it is due to our community to say.

rantable assault upon II worthy aud respectable
citizen. 1t was done under the impulse of sudden
and violent excitement, but is none the less rep
rehensible on that account. The weapon was a
piece of iron which was hurled with considerable
violence against the forehead of the assaulted
| inHicting Il severe wound. The same violence
taking effect upon the temples would doubtless
have resulted in instant death. L am not prepared
to say how nearly commensurate with the offence

STILL ,ASorHER.-Still another case Of this
kind has occurred in our vicinity within the pc
Rod since my last letter. On Saturday las,
eight freshmen went into saloon in Minneapo-

menced an assault upon the bar-keeper, the mis-
tress Of the house aud two Frenchmen who
CHANGED to be in. The assailants used tumblers
| aud whatever else could be found within reach
to infict the severe injuries with which the as
sailed came out of the melee. The face of the
bar-keeper was frightfu.iy mutilated, bis nose
being almost entirely DESTROYED, and his eyesight,
if not wholly ruined, very much endangered.
They have been arrested. fe s1 F%T
