A VIsT.-Mr. Sanderson, editor, from Evans

ten years ago, where st. Paul now stands, he
saw but two log huts To him the change has
been startling.
ST. LoUIs.-Quite large party of ladies and
gentlemen have been visiting our CITY for the
past week. Among them is MIR. La Dew, pro-

be promptly attended to.
BE ON YouR GUARD !-Tnere is a band of
thieves, robbers, and for aughl WE know, muir
derers IN our city at the present time. II needs

Gun POLICE! WHO are they and what are
they! Are they efficient men who do their

they men OF pluck who will arrest man when

that this is a bad, very bad state Of affairs A
reformation must be brought about or dircful
results will follow.

thrown under the hind wheels of the vehicle, and
had not the forward wheels been miraculously
disengaged, they would have been crushed to
death. The horses, with the forcwhees, dashed
down Eagle street, but what harm was done them,
we did not learn. Mr.. Fuller and his sisters we're
conveyed into the Winslow House whore every
attention was paid them.
The ENTERrAINxENT.-The entertainment last
evening at Winslow House Hall, was an excellent
one. Mr.. Howard sang and played well. Hear
what the Chicago Advertiser says about him =
"We actually heard his violin talk last eve
ning-such perfect control has he on tho ins.ru-
ment. He is truly and emphaticaly the Ole Bull
OF the United States, and his executions are far
superior to any one who has heretofore visited
US. His Comic Songs brought out the loudest
laughter, and were received with rounds of ap-
plause from every seat in the house. fremont
Hall was crowded last night, and would be were
he to remain fortnight"
