ST. ANTHONY ITEMS.

The Express says that the name of the wO-
man murdered at Crow River, was Mrs. Mary
halfway, aged about 25 years. Her husband
was at work in the south part of the county, at
the time, and her brother had gone to Minncap-
oils to prove up his presumption. The name of
the murderer is Amos Dickns, not Dicks. When
discovered the little babe found playing in
the blood ut the side of the murdered mother,
| and there were marks Of violence on the
body excerpt the bullet hole in the head, it is
thought that Immediately after the deed was COM
mitted, the murderer fled
Our contemporary says we were mistaken rela-
tive to the Mr.. Hancock who was injured by
the late Central Railroad accident. The Han
cock alluded to, belonged to Red Wing, and was
Register of Deeds for Goodhue County. The Mr.
Hancock, of Minneapolis, says the Express, is
alive and well, and sin the absence of banks, is
engaged in supplying the country with money"
Glad to hear it.
A Washington correspondent of tho Express
| says -"Thc Minnesota and North Western r.
Il. Company are making an application for a
grant of Land to aid in constructing their road,
similar to the one heretofore granted, but sub
jet to the disposal of the Legislature hereafter.
| 1t is understood as soon as it becomes law, the
Governor will convene the legislature and pass
over the title. lis cxccllency is here, aud has
not only acknowledged himself routed, but is ac-
| tually working for the company whether fcr
| his country's good for the Fifty thousand dol
| lar stock, as yet is matter of conjecture. The
bill will be reported in the House to morrow land
probably will pass"
| 1t is quite likely thc Governor is workin. more
for the 'Gfty thousand dollars stock than for
the good of the Territory. We have some rich
developments to make about this mrtter when
the proper time arrives. Who gave the Govern
or the stock, and why was it given to him p
This is strange world, truly. "Diamond, cut
diamoni,' that's the game.-Ed. Times.
| The Express says that the receipts of the Sus-
pension Bridge average $50 per dav, and that
the receipts for the past month amounted to ST.
| 0j0; at this rate reaching the enormous sum of
$24, 600 in one year, and in three years more
than paying for the original cost of the Bridge.
| Think Of this We who talk of building high
bridge across the Mississippi at St. Paul! 'Pitch
| in.'
For the benefit Of our eastern friends, the Ex-
press publishes the following:
''Tell those who were shverng in that snow
| storm at the East, the LIST Of June, that farm.
crs here were then engaged in hoeng their corn
| and potatoes, with the mercury above indica
ted. We saw yesterday, June 9th, corn nearly
knee high as it stood upon the ground, and plen.
tv of ripe Strawberries on the prairie. Tel
this to croakers who say Minnesota is too cold tc
| raise ''cdrn'
THE CRors.-We are gratifed to learn tina
the crops in this country look remarkably well
The winter wheat is headed out and bids fan
to be more then an average crop. The sam.
may be said in regard to rye. Spring wheat
oats and corn are as promising as could be de
sired. Farmers should remember that the,
have all this month 10 plant potatoes. We ar,
sorry to learn that the gardens in this ricinit,
are backward, although green peas are begin
ming TO make their appearance. We saw
some boys yesterday who had large quantiiie
of strawberries which they gathered east of tn
cny on the priaries. Wild fruit will be YER
abundant this year.
THE LoGs.-The harvest of the lumberme
+. about being realized. The rear OF the driv
is at st. Anthony. The cash that comes fror
the one hundred million feet OF lumber whic
our citizens in St. Anthony have, will max
money as plenty as blackberries.
