q The policeman who accostsd Mr.. Blaine,
Informs Us that he did so with no intention of
insulting him, but simply to inquire whose wood
that was on the leves. He regrets that Mr.. b.
should have felt so offended at his simple ques-
ton, as ne Is stranger here and desires to treat
the citizens with respect. We believe the police
man in question to be not only good officer, but
gentleman, and that he would not willingly of

MORTALITY AMONG Hocs.-The Cincinnati Ga
sette says that the farmers on the Big Miami,
from New Baltimore to Venice, are losing nearly
all their hogs by severe epidemic, which car
ries of 90 out of every 100 attacked, within two
hours after the symptoms are manifested. The
farmers call the disease cholera; the spasms and
other symptoms exhibit similar evidences of con-
gestion to those manifested by human beings
seized with that fatal disorder. A. G. II. Gone,
ESQ.,, has lost 800 hogs, and L. B. Clarkson, Esq,
over 200; neighboring farmers have lost in pro.
ton.

tons from ghoules and hob-goblins), the old
mill, the creek, its bridge and thousand other
objects enter into the nature of the love of home.
1t is an irresistible charm, and none can deny its
hallowed and soul-elevating supremacy over ev-
cry other earth born sentiment. Who can tell
how many vagrant heart, after long years of
reckless living, has been awakened to sense of
its perilous condition, and to new resolves on be-
holding afresh tho venerated outlines Of that same
old church, where in the midst of the charmed
joined in the humble heartfelt prisons of a now
sainted mother, darling sister, kind father
and affectionate brother. The old school house
too has its endearing recollections. Even the
severity of our first teacher is much modified
when weighed in the scales of our matured judg-
ment against the impertnence, the obstinacy, the
uncomfortable mirthfulness, or the incorrigble
mischievousness of our juvenile years; and the
mild, encouraging manners of another of the
despots, of school day memory, magnifying him
into very paragon of goodness and q Solo
mon of wisdom. Every bench is occupied to our
fancy as in days of yore, and we almost feel like
grasping the hand of one and another as the IA
miliar faces turn to gaze upon us. That school
house is to us the very temple of science, and
its associations bright gems in our memory.
And as, besides elevating our moral nature, and
enhancing the amenities of social life, this senti-
ment produces the highest degree of patriotism,
arming the brave with fourfold energy in the de-
tense of their native land, is it not worth our
while to foster it by every means in our power.
And when we are about TO set up our lares urbani
to turn from the too absorbing cares of business,
and consider how we may best secure to our
children the associations which will make them
more virtuous and patriotic. We cannot hone
their love Of homo will be SO pleasant their
memory of us so strong, as we desire, if we per-
sist in rearing the ephemeral structures, which
seem to be the only ones which in our eagerness
for gain we can tarry to erect. No gray grown
towers-no crumbling turrets will recall to them
the place where their fathers worshipped; there
will be nothing to strengthen for them that pre-
cious spell which hath guarding and guiding

CO We are grati6ed at being able to present
the following letter rs the result of the observa-
tons of gentleman who has spent a large por-
tion of the present summer among u.s. This gen.
tleman came here expressly to obtain knowledge
of our Territory through his own impartial expe-
rience and observation, and the value of the views
here presented is not lessened by the fact that
their anthor had previously visited most countries
of the globe.
The writer's conclusions accord well with those
of all candid and Discerning men who come
among US, and of course afford marked contrast
with the spitefu and jaundiced scribblings of the
genus "Anthrax," at home and abroad.

TINE TIpE.-We learn that r. M. Spencer
has recently purchased this boat to run between
this city and Galena. The Time 4 Tide being
light draught boat, drawing but Is inches, will
meet with no great difficulty in passing the vari-
Gus bars.
G. The St. Anthony Express comes to US this
week greatly enlarged, and improved in other re-
spects. It is now the same size as the Weekly
Times. We are happy to note this evidence of
prosperity on the part of our neighbor.
c. The new Tug Boat crossing the river OPP
posite the TINES has been doing land office bu-
siness for the past few days. The fine rove of
forest trees on the opposite side is we'll worth
visiting. and as this is wld-grape gathering time
amply repays those taking the trip.
CO The Council Committee, to whom the
matter of committing female Migrants was re-
ferred, reported that the city had '.no suitable
public place in which females could be confined %

CO We are informed by gentleman just re-
turned from visit over the Northern part of the

sad havoc on the growing crops. Every stem of
grass, weed and bush seems literally covered
with these destructive insects, and in many in
stances acres on acres of fine meadow have been
completely destroyed.

The MUSTANG A FAST HoRsE.-The New York
Herald says it has witnessed nine Presidential
elections since 1920, and does not remember one
in which candidate that was taken up for the
first time made such wonderful progress as Col.
Fremont has done within the past six or seven
weeks. Gen. jackson was eight years candi-
date before he was elected. Gen. Harrison was
also eight years before the public, and was de-
feated on the FIRST trial. Gen. Taylor was nearly
four years conspicuously before the people be-
fore he seized hold of the public mind. No candi-
date, on man ever made such progress in so brief
period, as Col. JOHN C. FRExoNT has done
Arguing from the past, there is hardly anything
which we may not expect of him for the future.
According to present appearances, he will sweep
every Northern and Western State by an unpre-
dented majority, and will poll vote in the South
that will astonish the Southern politicians.

Mr.. Editor,-Clear Water River empties into
the Mississippi about fifty miles above St. An
thony; it is a beautiful stream, all the year
round. There is town at the mouth (named
after the stream) that is prospecting we'll. About
q mile above is another town which is called Free
mont City, this is situated on elevated Prairie,
dotted with groves along the stream. Mount
one of the gentle rises and you can see over two
thousand acres of Prairie that every day looks
more like farms. They have three good water
powers--plenty of lime stone; and take into
consideration the many roads meeting at this
point all tend to make it one of the best manu-
featuring towns in the Territory. Let us leave
Fremont City, and follow up the stream four
miles, we pass through Prairie meadow and
groves of fine timber, here we come to Big Ra-
pids where there is mill to be built this done
we'll flow back to Big Lake, two miles. Big
Lake is about seven miles long and six miles
broad, the east side is covered with heavy tim

other side is smooth and brush Prairie. There
is town being laid out on the east side, where
there is good water power. Leave Big Lake
behind, falling along, you pass five lakes, and
you find yourself in the city of Fairhaven. Here

From our Regular News Cleaner
Sr. ANTHONY, Aug. 10, 1856.
TIE UNIvEHsALrsr CHURCH, WITH REFLECTIONS.
The Universalist Church, now in course of cree.
tion on tina bluff, near the new hotel, is destined
to be, when completed, altogether the most Or
nate and imposing structure of any kind in this
city, and the most elegant church edifce in the
Territory. The beautiful limestone, so abundant
in our neighborhood, is the material employed in
its construction. It's horizontal dimensions are AZ
by 62 feet its height from the ground about 35
feet. This room will be divided between the nave
and the vestibule above, and vestry underneath
square feet, with % feet ceiling and containing
60 pews, capable of comfortably seating four
hundred persons. The pulpit will occupy semi.
circular recess facing the main entrance-the
choir an elevated square recess indenting the ves-
tibule. The vestibule, an irregular shaped ante
room, will embrace an area of about l25 square
feet. The vestry, or basement room, occupies
the whole intermural area on the ground, with a
IL #. ceiling. The whole will be crowned with a
magnificent spre, towering so feet above the roof.
In the tower Just above the roof clock will be
set, which will afford our citizens much needed,
reliable standard of time. The walls, which have
already attained an elevation of some l6 feet,
are two and half feet thick. Mr.. Custer, ar
chitect, of this place. furnished the design, which
is chiefly Corinthian in its features. The estima-
ted cost is $4,000; and though reprobate the
doctrines which the ministrations of this church
are designed to propagate and sustain, cannot
but admire the iberality of its founders, and
wish that their example might be followed by
other denominations, whose present cheap places
of worship proclaim how small the tithes they
render to the Lord-how little they prove their
heart worship by the "wealth Of love" poured
out upon their churches.
Apropos to this subject.
Why do not all our religious societies, school
boards, County Commissioners, and all who have
control Of public ed6ces, make it point to con-
struct them of stone9 The abundance and &C
cessibleness of this material is such to render
it almost, if not altogether, as cheap as wood or
brick. Then it is more imposing, and connected
with its durability are moral and social consider
atoms which appear to me of great moment
Home is composite term, and the spell with
which its memory holds captive our hearts, con-
sists of an aggregation of scenes and associa-
tons familiar to our earlier years. The paren-
tai acre on which we were born, and where stands
the old homestead, is to be sure fraught with the
most cherished and tender "reminiscences, but it
is by no means the sole constituent of that mys-
tic inAence Of delight, which renders one
