We remarked in the Minnesotiar of Friday,
that if the Republicans of Rice county had
done their duty at the special election for
Representative the day previous, DIR. JEW
EFT, the Republican candidate, would take
his seat in the House on Monday. Our
friends of Rice did their duty nobly, and the
Doctor was accordingly in his seat yesterday
backed by some seventy majority.
In noticing this agreeable fact, we have a
word of advice in connection Herewith, to
Gen. Shields, the great leader of Southern
Minnesota democracy" in general, and Rice
county Democracy" in particular. If he
wishes to preserve his credit as a straight
forward, consistent Democrat, it strikes US
he can do SO great deal better by pursuing
a straightforward, consistent course. He
may as we'll cease hereafter all attempts to
come the sold soldier" over the Rice county
Republican boys by running independent"
candidates to beat their nominees. The
Shieldsville vote will never become suffic-
iently large to elect pro-slavery man from
Rice county to the Legislature.

Our Merchants who are expecting freight
will be rejoiced to read the following from
the Dubuque Express and Herald of April
oath:
Up RIVER FREIGHr.-Wc noticed yester-
day at the warehouse of T. J. Hills, Freight
Agent for the Minnesota Packet Co.. in Dun
leith, an extraordinary large amount of
freight, and upon inquiry found he had in
store about 500 tons for St. Paul and over
100 tons for points between the Lake and
St. Paul. Mr.. Hills yesterday commenced
loading the Golden State for st. Paul, and
expects before the end Of the week to have
all Of this freight in transit for its destina-
ton.
The Steamer Galena left last evening with
300 tons of freight for St. Paul, and the
Golden State leaves this morning with 400
tons for the same destination. Both Of
these boats will 60 to St. Paul before their
return, and what Capt. Harlow and the
Golden State cannot accomplish in breaking
up the crystal substance in Lake Pepin, no
other need try.

In submitting to you, gentlemen, my first
official communication, | cannot forego the
opportunity to congratulate you upon the
present suspicious prospects of this Terrific
ry. Rapidly approaching the day of her
adoption as State into the Union,-with
soil of unsurpassed fertility,-with navigable
streams extending in every direction, both
within and beyond her limits, to bear upon
their waters the bountiful products of an in
dustrious and enterprising population-with
all the natural resources which contribute to
the wealth, prosperity, and material indepen-
dence Of State, and with the assurance of
an early construction of an extensive railroad
system,-let us hail the dawning of bright
future for Minnesota, whose interests and
prosperity it should be our single aid to pro-
mote.
1t will afford me sincere pleasure, as it
will be my duty, to cooperate with the Leg
islative Department at all times, in whatev-
err may be deemed calculated to preserve
the well-being of the whole Territory.

A GROSS OUTRAGE AT FUNERAL.-A
correspondent Of the Marysville Tribune writ
ing from Milford Centre gives the following
account of a gross outrage committed in that
village by set Of ignorant Catholics. He
says: sr .s..-.-
"Thc feelings of this community were
very much shocked by an outrage, without
parallel in the history Of this peaceful COM
munity perpetrated on funeral occasion, at
the house of John Conner, whose wife lay
dead in the house. The facts of the case are
these; Mr.. Conner had invited Protes-
ces of the deceased, which gave offence to
the Catholic friends Of the deceased, and
they came in considerable numbers, led on
by one Patrick Conley, determined that the
funeral rites should not be performed. Reason
and argument were resorted to by the peacea.
BILE citizens, and by the husband Of the deceas-
cd without avail, they being Dc termined to
break up the meeting. .a~ r-e
Conley, supposing the services about to
commence, boldly entered the room where
the deceased wife was lying and forbid any,
thing being said on the occasion, when an
epsped between AR. Conner apa
Conley. Conner ordering OOnley out of the
house, Conley refusing to 60 when general
row ensued which battles all description
Some siding with Conner and others with
endeavoring to put Conley
out of the house, and others trying to pre-
vent it, whilst the cries and screams of the
children of the deceased were truly heart
rending. The spectators were astonished,
bewildered and amazed. Conley at last
went away, and quiet being restored, the
services were performed. Such scene we
hope never to- seq again, and such things
should be condemned by every lover Of quiet
and good order.

MARRIAGE IN CHuRCH.-On Sunday eve
ming last, after the close of his sermon, Rev.
Mr.. Mattocks surprised his congregation by
announcing that marriage would now be
solemnzed. People stared at each other,
but no bride or bridegroom could be deserted.
Presently, however, the smiling countenance
OF we'll known gent up town, was seen COM
ing down the aisle with lady upon his arm,
followed by another gent and lady, who to-
gether acted as bridesmaids and groomsmen
to the bride and groom who Immediately fol-
lowed. They marched up to the altar where
the twain were soon made one by the Rev.
Mr.. NJ, when they all marched out again,
looking as happy, apparently, as if nothing
had occurred.

KENTUCKANs IN KANsAs.-The Topeka,
(Kansas.) Tribune, Of the Odd, has the fol-
lowing paragraph, showing the feeling enter
tanned by Kentucky capitalists relative to
the future conditions of that Territory:
Gin conversation with some gentlemen
who came up the Missouri river a few days
since, significant fact was related, which,
in its influence on the institutions of Kan
sas, is worth more than all the speech max
ing and legislation which have interlarded
the proceedings of Congress. There were
on the same boat with our informant a num-
Der of Kentuckians, also on their way to
Kansas, who stated that they were coming
prepared to make large investments, provi-
ded there was any certain prospect of Kan
sas becoming Free State; but if otherwise,
they should return, satisfied, from their ex-
perience in slaveholding community, that
the existence of slavery is inimical to enter
prise and condition of prosperity.

THE "CoMING Man" WITH CowHIDE.
"A chivalric son Of the Cd Dominion, by
the name of Lipscomb, who is ambitious to
represent the Third District of Virginia in
Congress, has published an address to his
fellowcitzens, in which he declares himself
a progressive Democrat" and tells his fell
low-citizens, if they will but send him to
Congress, he will "cowhdc the first North
ern rascal who dares to insult his coasttu-
ents by making an offensive speech on the
subject of slavery" and that "he would like
to have the pleasure of stripping the back of
Burlingamc." He promises to treat the
Northern bully worse than the lamented
Brooks did his colleague in the Senate, old
Sumner"

Gentlemen direct from the East yesterday

have Secretary of the Territory, p'ce boss
rR-CHAs. L. CHASE, Esq, of st. Anthony
So far as we know, these appointments will
give general satisfaction, outside the ring Of
office-seekers. This statement is especially
true in regard to Mr.. Nelson; who, upon the
expiration of Judge Sherburne's term and
his unwillingness to be re-appointed, was
not only the general choice, from among the
members of his party, of the bar Of Ramsey
county, but also of all others who took any
interest in the matter.

DEATH OF ANDERSON THE TRAVELLER.

DEATH OF ANDERSON THE TRAVELLER
The Foedrelandet of Stockholm, March 2,
says: eve have just received the news of
the death of the celebrated Swedish travel
err Mr.. Anderson. He some time ago set
out on his third journey to the interior of
Africa to make geological researches, and af-
ter having explored the banks of the Tioghe
and Of Lake Nigami, he undertook, in COM
pany with an Englishman, Mr.. Green, an cx-
cursion in an easterly direction, and succeed
ed in reaching country into which no other
European ever penetrated. There he met
young elephant, and went in pursuit of it;
just as he was on the point of overtakine it,
a very large elephant joinedit. Twonatives
fired on the latter andwounded it, on which
the animal attacked Mr.. Anderson, and fkiiE
ed him by trampling him under foot. Mt
Anderson was buried on the spot upo4
which he was killed. His numerous aud
valuable collections have been deposited 1t

HOME ON THE FARM.-The farm pre-
serves the family in its integrity. The
home has in that charming word, and that
still m re charming thing, the Preside
around WHICH parents and children gather,
and where the bright and cheerful blaze up
on the hearth is but true type Of the fame
of love that CLOVIS in every heart. The par
ents have been drawn together, not by the
sordid motives of wealth, or by the ambi-
tious desire of social display, but for the per-
sonal qualities seen in each other. The glo-
ry of that fireside to the husband is that the
wife is there, and to he wife that he is
there. Here they gather at morning, and at
evening, and at noon. Their board is almost
always surrounded by the same CIRCLE
Here they spend the long winter evenings
together, enlivened with the school books of
children, the newspapers aud journals, and
works of history and science. A constant
homogeneous influence goes forth from this
circle to the young hearts that are molding
there. Parental vigilance guards the young
against wicked companions. If the religious
influences are right in that home, they will
all grow up to be good citizens, to be the
pillars of society, wherever their lot may be
cast, The sons follow the business of their
father as sooH as their lahors are available.
They are with him in the field, and by the
way, and at home. They form industrious
habits, and arc prepared for the responsible
ties of life. Rev. w. Cliff, Am. Journal of

The COLD WEATHER.-Pat's idea that the
cold weather is caused by the 'leet,e crathur'
called thermometer has been summarily
exploded. The unusual "cold term" the
present season, is said to be occasioned by
the rapid and near approach of the identical
comet which the professors claim is to scorch
us in June. BY what particular process this
cratic visitor is enabled to blow cold and hot
with the same breath, we do not exactly
comprehend. The comet is said to have al
ready entered the limits of our solar system,
and Is now visible in the evening sky to the
the climate have been observed before, du-
ring the passage of the comets near the
earth. The comet of 1855 is said to have
brought with it q dense and unpleasant fog,
which lasted twenty one days that of 1926
was accompanied by heavy rains and consc
quent foundations and unusually cold wea-
ther prevailed at the appearance If the bril-
liant comet of March l843. The comet now
approaching the earth, is that of Charles Y,
which first appeared in psrheiiom, In 1864.
1t is therefore an "old stager," and ought to
know the road we'll enough by this time to
avoid butting against our world in its way.
At least Wa dyaW comfort from the opinions
of American astronomers, who unite in the
belief that the passage of "the gentleman
that smokes" will not be productive of Sc

The Saltwater Messenger of the oath,

chased eighteen months ago at twenty dol,
lars per acre, now brings from one to two
