"OF THE SANE MrND."-Ramaly, the locali-
ger of the Pioneer, says two men of the same
mind, one wanting to rush on shore, and the
other on board, came in collision on the plank
of the Granite State when she landed on Sat-
urday, and were thrown into the water. This
israther an unusual result of harmony of mind
and intention.

A BLOODY REvoLUTIoN.-A South Afri.
can journal in speaking of recent revolu.
ton among the Zulus, says that the most
careful calculations formed by persons init
mateIy connected with the Zulu country
and with current events, represent the total
loss Of human life at not less than one hun
dred thousand, including of course the wo-
men and the children, who form large pro-
portion of the whole. And this facfEtba
massacre of the helpless, unofiendinc women
and children-shows in fripbtf;,I coiors ,ha

IMPORTATIoN.--We caution our citizens to be
on their guard as there are several bad fellows
prowling about our streets, probably imported
from the large cities.
So says the Times. Had it appeared in any
other paper, we should have concluded at once
it meant certain local editor imported from
the East last fall, who is now prowling around.

SERVED HIM RIGnT.-J. J. Suttire, the man
arrested on Saturday for stealing an overcoat,
was tried yesterday morning, and on convic-
ton was fined $500. He was committed in
default.
We think he is as much candidate for a
Lunatic Asylum as JAIL in stealing an over
coat at this season of the year.

SEEING THE COMET! "HAvE WE AN AsrRoI.-
oGER AMONG Us:"--On yesterday morning
about o'clock, as a we'll known Captain of
Police was perambulating the quiet streets on
his round, he discovered an individual leaning
against an awning post on Third street. oppo-
site the Post Office, talking and gesticulating
violently towards the moon, which was then
low on the eastern horizon. Approaching and
enquiring of the man what he was doing, he
replied, ''Why. Use (hic) looking at the (hic)
comick-don't you (hc) see it?" On an ex-
animation of the scientific individual, teles-
cope was found in one of his pockets, which it
is supposed he had applied to his mouth in
place of his eye, rather too often. Recogni-
sing the Astrologer as a person who lived few
doors off, the Captain took him home, with the
admonition not to allow his devotion to as
tronomy to interfere with his health any more.

The Presidents HEALrH.-The Cincin-
natl Enquirer has the following, respecting
the Presidents health:

A gentleman who has recently arrived in
Cincinnati, reading the lugubrous account of
the falling state Of the Presidents health in
one OF our city journals, desires US to relieve
the minds of His Excellency's ouer solicitous
s;ympathisers, by assuring them that he
dned at the White House week ago, and
that MIR. Buchanan eat heartily of roast beef
and potatoes, and washed them down with
his invariable half pint of good old south
side Madeira. 1t occurs to us that the Pres
ideht must be very bad patient, or he must
have very indulgent physician, if he is al
lowed such generous and exciting food while
suffering from so dangerous malady,

AnOka Precinct.-DemOcratic Skull
duSSinSo Exposed.

The Democratic County Commissioners of Ramsey
County have to the voters Of Anoka
and vicinity from voting at the June election by dirty
trick.
At the making of the present apporonment that part
of Ramsey County of Rum River in Anoka Pre-
anct, and that portion of the Town of Anoka Of
Rum River was in the representative district with
Morrison Sherburne and Benton Counties, and Rum
River Precinct In the representative district
with Cass, Todd Stearns and Wright counties.
This year the Commissioners aforesaid have united the
TWO precincts bringing thus parts OF two representative
districts into the same Anoka precincts disseminating
Rum River precinct. The consequence would be, if the
voters in precinct should all together that
their cotes soOuit not be counted in either representa-
tice district Anoka being strongly Republican, this is
just what would suit our Democratic County Commits
sioners of Ramsey County.
We think we do not mistake the temper of Anoka Re-
publcans, when say that they will submit any
such outrage. If it can be reconced in other way
the judges of election should be compelled to receive the
votes of the electors residing In representative dis
ric in box and Of those residing in the other district

for each set of voters. G.

We copy the above from the last Mime

his brief note, is more charitable, and nearer

Ing an act so mean as they are here accused
Of as "G." would be himself.
The facts are simply these: A large
number of the people of Anoka petitioned
for this very change now complained Of
they perhaps not thinking that such a
change might disfranchise portion of them
selves in voting for legislators and members
of the Constitutional Convention. The
Commissioners, probably, did not give the
petition that care and thought which they
should have bestowed upon it, but granted
the prayer without further inquiry-no one
of the Board, Democrat or Republican, ma
king any objection to it. If there had been
any Democratic skullduggery" connected
with the transaction, Maj. M'LEAN, the Re-
publican member of the Board, would have
been very apt to find it out.
We see no reason why the remedy which

A NOVEL LIQUOR CAsE.-While
Mr.. Abram Houghton of Lyndon was at
work in a field on the old Kathan place,
a few days since, his attention was d.
verted from his labor by a squirrel which
ran into an old stump. Mr.. Houghton
walked up to the stump ard gave it a
violent kick, which, as the stump was old
rotten, completely upturned it; when 10,
and behold. what SHOULD meet his aston
ished gaze but gallon jug. Mr.. Hough-
ton took the jug, removed the cork, ap-
piled his nasal organ first, and after
wards his lips, and then pronounced the
contents potato aohiSkey. The fact that
potato whiskey is commodity that has
been long since unknown in these parts.
would afford topic for conjecture how
this jug came there; but Mr.. Houghton's
memory came to his assistance, and he
remembered that forty gears ago this
summer, while at work in this same field.
with Mr. Kathan, he placed a gallon jug
of potato whiskey in hollow stump, and
when he returned from dinner was un-
able to find the identical stump wherein
was the hid treasure. We have not
learned whether the liquor has been spill
led, but presume that in these days Of

this forty-years-Old whiskey will be pre-
served as relic of better liquors in by
