\ TRUE AMAZON Just back of Messrs. Ber-
key & Eddy's stable, on Saturday morning last,
the teamster that drives Mr.. Symond's Ice cart,
very imprudently attempted, with his horses, to
pass ove- the clothes line Of an Irish woman liv-
ing near by, when she seized shillalah and gave
him good beating. While the poor fellow held
on to his horses to prevent them from running
away the heavy stick of the Amazon fell on his
back, as volumes Of oaths rolled out of her
mouth. The driver had discretion enough ''to
hold his horses'' as well rs his tongue, and very
dscrctely got out of the scrape as best he could.
We thought the affair one of considerable cool
ueSs-with ice in it.

MP. LOVEJOY'S SPEECH.
Correspondence of the New York Tribune.
Dur .nrYpur. V,,no1Q


PHILADELPHIA, June Is.
The speech of Owen Lovcoy, of Illinois, be-
fore the National Convention yesterday, deserves
more than the passing notice it received in the
telegraphic report. Mr. Lovejoy is brother of
the martyr who fell in defence of the Press at
Alton. and has long been devoted and able
friend of Freedom. For years identified with
the old Liberty Guard, there were some fears
when he was called to the stand, that his speech
would be too radical for the Convention. But
the first three minutes of his speech dispelled all
fears, and as he unfolded and illustrated the
fundamental principles which form the basis of
the Republican party, and kindled with the
mighty theme, the hearts Of the vast audience
swelled with intense emotion, and their feelings
found utterance in the most enthusiastic cheers.
His speech went to the root Of the matter, was
philosophical defence of the principles of the
Republican party, and the words fell like refresh
ing mamma ON the hungry souls Of hisanearers.
1t was the speech of the day and was received
with unbounded applause; and taken in connec-
ton with the speech of the President, Col. Lane,
it gave the Convention, and especially the dele
higher opinion than many of them had hitherto
entertained Of the ability and eloquence of
Western men.

requisites for the success Of newspaper and

Tho next meeting of the Society will be held
at the Office of Col. John II. Stevens, Minneapo-

We hope the citizens of st. Paul will see the
propriety and the great advantage to be derived
to them by holding the Fair in this city. If
every merchant should contribute $40 it would
be money in pocket. Hitherto Hennepin County
has been the most active in Agricultural matters
but we hope in the future that Ramsey County
will look a little more to her own interests.
