Why shouldn't it? Not because Newson has
anything to do with it, but because the 'sspon-
taneous rim of Western life" will, in spite of
every obstacle, build up great cities and great
States. stranger remarked to Yesterday
''St Paul is the fastest place in the West. Chi.
cago is some, but st. Paul outstrips everything

terprize, indomitable industry, and perseverance
of tie Inhabitants, will just rs surely make St

received by any President since the DAYS of

dated on the ed ult:
Last night another OF Col. Kinney's follow
ers, named Crockett, died and was buried this
morning. Col. Kinney himself is said to be
very i'll, and is really IN a pi,iable condition.
What an end is the great Kinney expedition
which was apPauded and helped on by some of
the presses year or so ago, approaching!
A singular mode of robbery has been detected
at Dublin. man used to send large press by
the Liverpool steamer, headed Sc this side up"
In this press was a compartment where he hid
himself. At night when all was still, he would
get out and rob the warehouses of valuabies, and
retreating To his hiding place, would be safely
conveyed with his plumber to his own house.
