i ~ Yesterday and Thursday were two mode
days. Model as exhibiting all the disagreeable
extremes, wind, rain, dust, and sunshine chasing
on each others heels. We never saw such day
and we were like everybody else in that partie.
ular, for all the misses on the street who happen
edto be environsd in hoops, turned half-round as
Boreas blew his bravest, and calculated in spite
full accents, 'sdid you ever?" Well, move
didn't-that's q fact. The air was flled-as
snow-Aakes fill the winter sky--with hats, caps,
I old newspapers, signs and sundries. Kolus was
on spree, and when he sent sudden Whit along
st. Anthony street, the doors and shutters we're
slammed together by an unseen hand, little fell
lows stood up heroically in the blast to show
their courage, as much as to say--swho's afraid2'
|men-young snobs, and substantial, mature men
Iran after fugitive hats at least three times
apiece, turning around each time to see if any
body was looking, and swearing intensely at the
clerk of the weather, and fair damsels scudded
slyly before the wind like a graceful schooner
i with all sails set. We can't tell half the antics
of yesterday suficeit that it beat local editor
in blowing. 1t is modest estimate 30 say that
not less than $50 men in the city chased $50 hats
at least so miles in the aggregate. We hear of
several tempers being lost, but no lives, though
Boreas INDUCED in good many startling inn
proprieties. The Police ought to see to him.
JUST AN ITrx.-.-The Legislature has been in
| session now two weeks, and the people Of the
Territory, not Congress, will undoubtedly have
to pay their expenses. What has been dene? A
report has been made on the legality of the ses-
sion; some resolutions have been adopted for the
release of the female captives and the punishment
Of the Indians, which were vigorous and we'll
timed in their way; notice of the introduction
Of several bills has been given-among others
one for the destructin of ground squirrels. This
stupendous business has been performed at the
cost of about three thousand too hundred dollars
to the Territory, and the members meet and ad-
journ over from day to day, the House having
been in session only about five hours this week,
and the Council not so long. The members are
trying-at least some of them-to get in work
ing order, but we fear that, what with lobbying
speculators, ,paper-town proprietors and bulls and
bears from Wall street, they WILL instead of ssee-
ing daylight through the financial fog, get lost
on unfamiliar paths, and entangled in new per-
GT We looked the other day through the ba-
kerry of Mr.. Morse, at the junction of St. Antho-
ny and Hill streets, and found all the facilities
requisite for carrying on an extensive establish
ment. Mr.. NJ. is about to open, for the accom-

street, and another on or near the levee, both Of
which will be conducted with neatness and dis
patch. He is an enterprising, wide-awake, prompt
and reliable business man, and deserves, as he
will receive, the patronage of the public.

Gg Citizens and strangers should not swear
at the bad condition of our sidewalks, particu-
larly where new buildings are in course of erec-
tion. Our business streets are so narrow that it
is almost impossible to build without obstructing
the sidewalks. Such is the case with the new
building just above our Office, where, however, a
large number of men are employed to expedite
business. Don't grumble---a short time will
suffice to put things in order. J ~ sn'
GT The Galena Advertiser says, that the story
(from the Lake City Tribune) that costly ban
ner and purse of $500, were donated in that
| city to the first boat that should arrive at Saint
Padl, was erroneous, but adds I" the city authori.
ties of St. Paul have released the boat first arri-
wing from wharfage during this season. These
dues are SIS the trip, and if the Galena has her
usual good luck she will save $500 by the opera
tion." .at..s5.au.lts45iisJ .-t.a a..1
sD1D You EVER ?"-We never did-see such
crowd of ladies who are constantly aocking to
the establishment of Mrs. Lambert. There GER
tainly must be some attraction, and if the excite
ment is kept up, this popular Milliner will be
obliged to stop advertising. We respectfully re-
quest some of her customers to keep away from
her store, at least for short time as we, consid-
er our own interest in jeopardy. ..4 '-g(4 ',..
GY Our advertising friends are crowding in
upon us SO fast that we can scarcely find room for
reading matter. Friday they monopolized al
most one column. In this connection, we invite
attention to the "Wants'' in another part of our
paper. Persons who have tested this method of
advertising, give it as their opinion that it is the
best and cheapest way of procuring what they
desire. There is room for a few more. bna !,

liams" of the Minnesotian says that 'yesterday
evening" . large sign blew down, and "narrowly
escaped falling on man passing by.' If it had
hit him, great apprehsnsions are entertained that
it would have ..been seriously injured. '" 2
p. S.-We learn that it has since been hung
for its misdemeanor. Astrologists say that this
is very good sign.

CO The Galena Advertiser copies one of our
half column articles entitled 'sAlong the River"
and credits it respectfully to the ssSt. Paul Pio-
neer and Democrat" If that paper cannot quote
correctly, We prefer that it should continue to
give our articles TO the Pioneer, rather than to
credit any Of the Pioneers articles to us. /,
BATHING sHousE.-An institution which would
| pay its owner handsomely, would be a, Bathing
House in this eity--one that would do honor to
the place and would be open at ali hours. We
guarantee at least one customer, and perhaps two.
| We feel sure that our contemporaries would avail
themselves Of its advantages, for they are dirty
