SAINT CROIX RIVER.

The Wisconsin Historical Society. in a late re-
mort enormously supposes that this name was Civ

Frenchmen.
In LaIIurde's Louisiana. there is an abstract of
the Ju urnal Of LeSueur's Voyage to the Mankato

lie made this day three and three fourth leagues;
ana on the 10Th of September he left a large river on
the East side named Saint Croix, becarse a French
man of that name was wrecked at its mouth"
Both the Saint Pierre and Saint Croix derived
their name from individuals with whom Sueur was
n cotempO.ary. The Dakotas call the Saint Croix,
Hogan-waukekin. The legend is, that in the dis
tant past, two Dakota warriors, were travelling on
the shores of Lake Saint Croix; one of whom was
under a VOW to one of his gods, not to eat any
flesh which had touched water. Gnawed by hun
ger, the two perceived, as they supposed, a rae
coon, and pursued it to n hollow tree. On looking
in, the one who could not ca: flesh that bad touch
ed water, saw that the animal was II fish and not n
aua1ruped. Turning to his com paniOn he agreed
to throw 1t to the ground if he was not urged to
eat. Hunger, however, was imperious, and forced
him to break his vow and partake of the broiled
fish.
After the meal. thirst usurped the place of hun
ger. He called for water to cool his parched
tongue, until the strength of his companion failed
and he was then told to lie down by the lake and
