that he received letter from Philadelphia

made, that they would be sent Immediately,

most tasty and elegant kind. 1t consists of
scarlet jacket. with sky-blue collars, and cuffs,
and trimmed with silver. The pants are white,
without any trimmings. The cap is the U. s.
regulation cap, with the letters S. 2. l.. l. in
front, and tasty design representing the rose
and thistle. On the whole, this will form
splendid uniorm, and Will certainly set off the
company, who are line looking body of mer,
without exception. The Capt informs us that
they expect TO turn out about fifty horses to
their first parade. on the tenth of this month
We are sure of treat, and know that our city
will have reason to be proud of such company

aquatic sports. Yesterday, gentleman tells

to be a beneficial oustom-would encourage

but if their households are not extensive
enough to allow them bath room, let them
seek some more retired spot on the river, and
not offend decent people by indecent exposure.

a MAN SHOT AT FORr MADISON BY CART.
SrEAN OF THE SrARACEN-The last act of the
tragical career of this unfortunate man seems
to have now commenced. We have at various
times recorded how The Saraccn was blown on
the rocks at Prescott, on her last trip up. and
had hole stove in her hull--hOw she was
tied up here for debt. the difficulty with the
officers. and lastly, how. on her trip down she
was driven against the Rock Island bridge.
and nearly broken into pieces. But the last
unfortunate affair in connexion to her, we have
yet to record We condense the following ac-
count from the St. Louis Inteligencer:
At Fort Madison. the Mate got into an al
when the fellow drew a knife and pursued the
mate. The mate armed himself and returned
to the cabin, when the darkey fed, and secre-
ted himself in small building on the wharf.
Some OF the crew pursued him, dragged him
out. gave him u sound beating, and took him
to the boat for the purpose of tieing him up to
the capstan and lashing him. The crowd on
shore now interfered, declared that the iauc
should punish the negro for his attempt on the
life Of the mate, and demanded of the crew TO
give him up. This was refused, when melee
enSued between the mob on the shore and the
crew. Stones, clubs and brckbats were thrown
Oh them from shore, and shots fired. The
crowd had increased to several hundred. Cap
tain Stran was hurt by the missiles, the mate
was knocked down by q boulder and shot also,
and several other Of the crew and passengers
were hurt. Capt. Stran and the mate, with a
passenger or two then fired on them, and
wounded several and killed one of the rioters.
The cable was then cut, aud the boat put up
stream. A telegraph dispatci- was sent to the
Sheriff of Burlington to arrest him when he
should land, Oh charge of murder. Several
thousand people assembled at the wharf. but

had been sent to the Police.

AEHklfIC t1URRlCANE AT W HITE BEAR LAKE.
The storm on Sunday, which visited our city
so severely, also did great damage in different
parts of the country. At White Bear Lake,
twelve miles from Saint Paul, it amounted to
perfect tornado, which, though we believe no
lives were lost, did considerable damage to the
pleasure seekers in that favorite spot.
A party of eight of our citizens went ont
early in the morning. for days fishing, and
arrived there about o'clock. After break
fast, two sail boats were manned, and during
the forenoon, which WAS warm and pleasant,
the partyihad excellent sucoess. They went TO
dinner, and returned again to the boats. A
slight breeze ruffied the bosom of the lake
there were several hundred persons on, and
around the lake. and having good wind the
party spread sail, and had an exciting race
Engrossed in this. they scarcely noticed the
change in the elements. The lake became
calm--the breeze died away, the air grew still
and oppressive, and in the distance the sullen
mutterng Of the coming storm warned them
Of the approaching danger. Instantly, before
they could use their oars, it burst upon them
with roar like ''the voice of many waters"
The waves ran dozen feet high, and the air
was filed with spray and foam, and rain. 1t
was impossible TO see ten feet ahead. Running
before the hurricane. in imminent danger of
swampng every gust. they reached all island,
Oh the shore, and went down. Most of them
were only in their shirt sleeves, and pants,
and barefoot. having lost the rest of their CLOTH
ing. Here crouching under low bank, cold.
half clothed, wet and shivering they remained
several hours exposed to the merciless fury Of
the hurricane, and the driving. binding rain.
The tornado is described as being awful 1t
twisted large trees off at the roots. and hurled
them through the air. Some points running
down into ihc Lake, were stripped almost bare
of timber. The water was full of sticks and
limbs blown from the shore. Two buildings CT
Lambs were blown down, and other property
along the lake injured.
After the storm had somewhat abated. they
began to look around to see where they had
been driven to. They first supposed that they
were on an island but after walking long
distance. they crossed peninsula and got on
the main shore several miles from Lambs 8
Hotel. where they had started from. They had
to traverse all this DISTANCE On foot, part of it
after night. some of them barefooted and only
half clothed. They got to Lambs long after
dark in nmaerabie plight. That gentleman i'm
mcdiately got them some warm refreshments.
built fire, and gave them dry clothes from
his own wardrobe. Here they got their teams,
and the whole party arrived in St. Paul about
midnight
1t is feared that some were not so fortunate
in escaping as this party. Two or three per-
sons hai not returned when they left Lambs
though it is hoped they had taken shelter in
some house.

Analysis Of Minnesota Soil.

The public are indebted to Mr.. &. Whit
field Artist, who travelled extensively through
Minnesota last summer for scientific anal
ysis of Minnesota soil, and which he had
procured at the hands Of DIR. Hayes, As
sayer to the State Of Massachusetts,. We
may remark that the specimen was taken
from gopher hill on the prairie near Lake
Kandiyoh. The water is from lakes in the
same vicinity. We take the account as Nj.
w. has himself furnished it:
TO the Editors of tis Boston journal:
A great deal has been written about Min
nesota, the advantages Of its health-siying
climate. the beauty of its crystal lakes, the
invigorating elasticity of its atmosphere, its
freedom from that horrible disease so com
mon to the Western country, the fever and
ague, but | have never yet met with any
thing very definite about its soil. Now as
this is unelestionably very imports Mt mat
ter, have loceiisly submitted to DR.. A. A.
Hayes, AsSayer to the State of Massachu-
setts, sample of the soil which is found in
Central Minnesota, or that part lying be-
tween the St. Peters River on the South,
and Crow Wing on the North, and extend
ing from the Mississippi on the East to Big
Stone Lake on the West. This region en-
braces TIE most delightful portion of the
Territory, and is full of the prettiest lakes in
the world, abounding in fish, and frequented
by innumerable wild fowl. As general
thing here is plenty of wood land, and the
soil is of the richest description, as the fol-
lowing analysis will think amply demon

MEANNEss.-While the party whose adven-
ture we have recorded in another plac, were
returning around White Bear Lake on Sunday
night, two CT three of them stopped at house,
and asked for some refreshments, as they were
tired aud cold The man of the place inquired
how they came in the plight, and on learning
of the accident refused them anything, saying
.'seryed YOU right-had 10 business to go fish
ing on Sunday--gO way from here" The
gentlemen left disgGsted with his inhumanity,
as it was cruel to have turned dog out in such
storm. let alone refuse q fellow being the sa-
cred right of hospitality. But. we blush for
shame to say it--there are such creatures to he
found in the world, who have no idea of kind
ness or generosity. To show hospitality to the
stranger is a pr.riiege, duty. Dar5arOns ma
tions even consider II an omen of good luck to
have stranger repose beneath their roofs the
needy wanderer is treated with sacred kind

mudgeon who turned them Off with such an in
suit. We would like to publish his hideous
meanncss so plain that all white men would
avoid him like an adder.

Mr.. Tuttlc is FIRST rate artist in his line,

which certainly bear comparison to those exc

LADIES NAMEs.-One who pretends to know,
