TARGET EXCURSION OF THE GUARDs.--On Satur-
day last the Pioneer Guards went on target ex-
cursion to Sandy Lake. They made a fine APP
pearance, except that they were few in numbers,
mastering but twenty-six muskets. They were
headed by IIoisington's Brass Band. Arrived at
the. bank Of the Lake, they partook Of cold
collation., washed down by plentiful supply Of
Champagne. The shooting then commenced-dis-
lance about ten rods. D. c. Wellrnan, of the
firm Of Wellman & Johnston, ''plumbed the cen.
tre," and took the prize Of silver cup. II. L,
Thompson made the second best shot, which was
in the ring. Sixteen balls were put through the
target board. They returned to the city well
pleased with their days SPORT and just in time to
escape the drenching rain which fell about six
O'Clock in the evening.

BrnDNc IN ST.. PAUL.-In the early days OF
newspapers in ST. Paul, as in other places, the
tireless loca! was expected to notice every new
building and to chronicle every improvement; ;
bat l. do it now would require the wings OF
Mercury or an omnipresence which is rarely pos
sessed. Almost every street is in degree blocked
with building materials, or excavations for inn
proyements. We do not know whether n record
has been kept of the number of buildings erected
this season or not, but we think the footing up
at the close of navigation will show an amount
OF building unsurpassed by any city OF its size in
the Union, and surprising even to our own cti-
Gems.

EuBRoIpERy.-We were shown the other even
ing some beautiful specimens of embroidery,
consisting of designs for slippers, chair and otto
man covers, table covers, pin-cushions. and va
rious other articles both useful and ornamental.
The only thing we objected to were the chair
covers--we should hesitate before sitting down,
for fear We might crush the birds and flowers.
These specimens were executed by Miss Guild,
who is prepared to give lessons in the art to
those ladies who desire it. Miss G. is at present
stopping at the house of Miss Bishop, ON Sixth
street, short distance north east OF the Baptist
Church. .-t

CATHEDRAL OF SAINT PAUL.--The foundation
Of this new ediiice now being erected in the rear
of the present Catholic Church, has been laid and
the walls have risen several feet. The walls are
very thick and substantial, and will not be likely
to settle, rs they stand on solid rock. We were
not aware that this building was to be SO extern
sye. There is lime kiln and a brick kiln on
the premises, while the huge piles of stone which
cucumber the ground in every direction, many Of
them of great size, have been quarried from the
Foundations site.

. OK THE LKvEx.-A AS the War Eagle was about
to leave for Dunleith, on Saturday morning,
Marshal Miller appeared On the scene and tied up
the boat. Considerable. excitement was .cca-
stoned among the crowd of passengers and by
ISLANDERS for i few moments: but the matter was
speedily adjusted by Capt. llarris, ana the Var
Eagle was permitted to go on her way rejoicing.
We understand that the boat had left quantity
of freight, intended for St. Paul, at La Crosse,
by mistake, and the owner took this method OF
recovering damage.

WEST ST.. PAuL.-The commencement OF the
high bridge across the Mississippi opposite the
Post Office, is directing the attention of our citi-
zens to the convenience and eligibility of the
high lands on tine western side of the river for
private residences. When the bridge is compile
ted, residence on the west side will be easily
accessible from the business part of the city, and
at the same time quite free from its noise, and
dust. Some of the front lots on the bluff COM
mand view that is unsurpassed. The present
prices, we should judge, are very reasonable.
We recollect, only two years ago, when forty
acres of the handsomest land on the bluff was
offered at thirty dollars an acre, part on time,
but failed to find purchaser.

Iron ORE.-We have in our Office some spe-
cimens of iron ore taken from the bluffs in this
vicinity, which we think would yield about Is per
cent. Of iron. We have mentioned before that
the bluffs, about here are literally covered with
nodules highly impregnated with iron, and there
are numerous small streams in this vicinity which
leave large depostes OF oxide of iron. Some
individual or company acquainted with the smeltI
ing business might do well to examine this 10.
cality with the view to the erection of furnace.

CARD PRINrINC.-The Office of the Chicago
Democratic Press, which last year put up two
Of Gordon's Fire Fv Card Presses, each of them
capable of printing ten thousand cards per hour,
cutting the cards and counting them at the same
time, has recently found it necessary to procure
another Of these presses in order to keep pace
with their increasing business. Orders for cards
that used to range from 100 to 900, now range
from GOO to 10000; and they are afforded at
such low rates that merchants find This to be a
cheap method Of advertising.
One Of these presses has been purchased for
the TINES Office, and is expected to arrive soon,
and be put in operation.
