THE COLLATION..

AS soon as the above exercises were over,
the collation. was announced, which was dis
tributed to the children and the rest of the
audience. by volunteers from the young men
present, to which ample justice was done, at
the conclusion of which three cheers were
enthusiastically given for Minnesota, three
for St. Paul, three for the " Sovcreigns of
1876" and three for the Sunday schools.
| The children were then told that it being
independence Day they might be indepen-
dent, and should be at liberty to amuse
themselves in jnst such manner as they
pleased for the rest of the day. The oppor-
! ti,--:t! WIS esoei.y improved and a large
portion of them kept up their play and
mirth till a late hour in the afternoon When
we left at four o'clock, some were singing,
Others swinging, some riding on horseback,
others walking along the waters edge of the
lovely stream that meanders the beautiful
grove where the exercises had been con-
Quoted.
The whole affair was conceived and car
ried on in creditable manner, and toomuch
credit cannot be given to the various COM
mittees in.charge for the auspicious results of
their laborious exertions. The sight of two
or three hundred children all giddy with the
excitement and pleasures that the occasion
afforded, was one which we desire never to
have effaced from our memory-it would
have made the most confirmed cynical old
bachelor rejoice.

The Fourth.

Aside from the imposing celebration of the
Fourth by the Sabbath Schools of our city
there was very appropriate regard paid
to the day, in St. Paul, by the citizens gene
rally. The Pioneer Guards turned out some
forty strong, in their new and beautiful uni
form, doing great credit to themselves in all
respects. The ball given by them in the
evening, at the Winslow House, was, with
out exaggeration, the most brilliant display
of well dressed and intellectual men and
women, that has ever assembled upon a pub
lie occasion in ST. Paul-and this is saying
much for the Guards and their guests Over
two hundred participated in the festivities,
and everything passed off orderly, pleasantly
and properly.
The Grafton and other ceremonies at the
Capitol, were attended by a large concourse of
citizens and strangers Mr.. Shaw's discourse
is spoken Of by all who heard it as being one
of rare ability and unusual appropriateness.

track of Fourth of July orators, and made
impressions which will not be soon forgotten
by his auditors. We are happy to learn that
his Grafton will be published soon, either in
pamphlet form or in some of the papers OF
the city.
The day, altogether, passed off well and
without any serious accidents so far as we
Lave learned.

Latest from Kansas,
ST. LOUIS, June 80.

A letter in the Democrat, dated Lawrence
2Sth, says that five men had arrived at that
city from Tecumseh, where they had been
confined for some time as prisoners. They
were captured by dragons, on the 9th Of
May, near Ossawattomie. Their arms were
taken away, chains were put upon them and
then they were driven thirty miles by troops
on horses.
The dragons were under Lieutenant
johnson.
The prisoners wore chains nearly four
weeks, and when brought before Judge
Cato, they were discharged, nothing being
found against them.
Three Of the party captured were de-
tanned, Messrs. Partridge, John Brown and
Wiliams-the two latter members of the
Legislature. Mr.. Partridge was released Oh
bail.
Indictments were found against Brown for
treason, conspiracy, kidnapping slaves, and
horse-stealing against Williams for treason
Partridge for conspiracy.
Hoyt and Legate, who were arrested a
few days since by Harvey and the dragons
under Lieut.. Perkins, have been released on
bail.

For the Minnesotian.


Friday night at halfpast ten O'Clock, four
men passed by the frame row on st. An
thony street, occupied by Messrs. Green
leaf & Chappell, Mott & Palms, and Inger-
soil, and scattered broadcast large quantity
of fire-crackers from one end of the build
ing to the other.
Upon arriving at the building they stop
ped and prepared themselves, and then set
off the crackers in such quantities as to kim
lie a blaze upon the plank walk which
1ouid undoubtedly have burned the whole
row had not q few Of the neighbors discov-
cred it in time to cXtinguish it.
Mr.. Hatch, across the way, observed the
whole proceeding, and the impression made
upon his mind was, that the four men were
lncendiatics, whose deliberate intention was
to fire the buildings.
Only last week a requisition came from a
neghboring state, and one of the sleek
scamps who veinfestedour city was arrest
