A FAIR AT ST. PAUI.-An effort is being
made by some of our leading citizens to have
the next Fair of our Territorial Agricultural
Society held in Saint Paul. We hope they
may succeed in this, and have Fair which
will reflect credit on our City, and the Society
which shall hold it.
st. Paul is certainly as proper place for the
point of the gathering of the Representatives
of the agricultural interests, as there is to be
found. 1t is directly accessible, centrally sit
uated, as it We're, in the centre of the most
thickly settled, and best cultivated part of
Minnesota. Last year it was held at Minneap-
oils. We believe there is no other point pro-
posed as yet. That fair was, however, mainly
attended by St. Paulites and certainly, no
place at which it could be held in the Terrific
~, would command such large number of
visitors as this.
Our citizens will be waited on today for
subscriptions. Let all subscribe literally, and
we will have the next Fair here beyond doubt
1t will require about $1,000 dollars to erect the
necessary buildings, and prepare the grounds
for The exhibition. This amount was raised
last fall 10y the citizens of Minneapolis, and it
can surely be raised here this year. Let US,
then, have things done on such scale that it
VIII reflect credit on the liberality of the peo-
pie OF ST. Paul, and show to the Agricultursts
of Minnesota that their interests are here well
supported.

HOUSES OF hL-FAME.--Capt. Morton, Of the
City Police. yesterday went to most of these
resorts, and informed the tenants that be should
visit at night, and if any one was found around
the premises, he would arrest them. The places
thus noticed were "Minnie's," "Mag's," and
s.Mother Warren's," three well known haunts.

We were "pitched into" by an indignant
property holder yesterday, because we said a
pond of water standing on his lot was null

near by that spread such sweet scents on the
evening air. We are happy to make the cor
rection. But what about the NUISANCE of
the dead dog?

citizens who couldn't suffer any longer, have

THE heavy storm on Sunday night flooded
some parts of our town SO that navigation was
possible for small boats. We never saw it rain
harder for several hours Yesterday morning,
everybody WAS bailing out their cellars, which
leaves standing complaint against the neg

not having certain districts now flooded with
water, better drained and graded Some
houses along on Seventh street are entirely sur
rounded. Yawl builders would make money

BROKE JAII.-EsCAPE OF Two PRISONERS -
On Saturday morning, about 5 o'clock. two
prisoners named VIM Brown, and E. n. Bull,
broke Jail, and escaped. Brown, colored
man, was imprisoned for burglary, and Bull for
larceny, both about the first of April, and
were in adjoining cells. On Friday night Bull
succeeded in cutting away the wo cd around
wicket, and putting his arm through, succeed
ed in reaching a paddock and key which hung
on nail near by: the key he used in unlock
ing his own cell, and then liberated Brown
This was just before day light. The Turnkey,
Martin, was in the outer hall smoking, when
Bull called him, and told him some one was at
the back window. This was ruse to get him
in the back room, where they could lock him
in. But Martin merely went to the door, and
seeing nothing wrong returned. A few min
make their report, and they had to wait until
they were all gone. They then crept out, got
into an empty cell, and waited until the turn
key opened the outer door, and came into the
jailors room. They then, while the door was
open. made rush to get out. Martin saw the
movement in time. and rushing to the door,
drew it to after him, and endeavored to clasp
it. but the the two seized the inside handle, and
jerked it open. Martin then confronted them
in the narrow passage, and a desperate fight
ensued. Brown and he fought desperately for
several minutes, but being lame, he was
knocked down, and they passed over him. He
tripped Brown, grappled with him, and called
for help, as an officer was sleeping in an ad-
joining room. But before assistance could
come, Brown struck him stunning blow on
the head with a shovel standing in the passage,
which caused Martin to release his hold, when
they walked out of the front door, and es-
capped Martin was considerably hurt, having
received numerous blows.
The escaped prisoners are we'll known, and
cannot get away far. They went Immediately
to the edge of town, skrted along the suburbs,
and about o'clock were seen near Trout
Brook, "making Off" Probably ere this issue
of our paper they are again confined in safer
quarters. No particular culpability rests on
any one however; but our Jail ought to be more
secure.

A HUMANE Acr.-Yesterday as gentleman
was standing in Won Hamm's book store, he
observed boy take book from counter and
make off with it. He followed him out unOb-
served. and when a short Distance off, the boy
attempted to sell him the same book. After
talking with him about it for minute or two
the boy, seeing he had been detected. burst in
to tears and begged the gentleman not to ar
rest him. promising to restore the book The
gent went with him back to the store. where
he manfully made the restitution of the prop
erty. The gentleman, with kindness that
does credit to his heart and feelings, then talk
ed to him earnestly and affectionately in re-
gard to such course and the consequence of
it, giving him some good advice which it is to
be hoped he will follow. How much better is
such a plan than an arrest and prosecution,
transforming the misguided boy, in whom is
still the sparks of noble honesty Pickering, in
to hardened and utterly depraved criminal

TIE "DRowNED WOMAN''-A VISIT TO THE
SCESE.-On Saturday afternoon, not having
been able to learn any farther particulars in re-
lation to the reported discovery of the body of
woman in the river opposite the levee, and
knowing that no inquest had yet been held, We,
in company of the reporter of the Times, pro-
cured yawl, and repaired to the spot. 1t is
strange how thirst for news, especially for the
horrible and mysterious, will become the ruling
passion of Locals life. Nothing else would
have compelled us to row at least two miles a
gainst the strongest current in the Mississippi,
in blazing sun, but that on reaching the spot
we found that it was the body of a man: the
romance had vanished. There is no sentiment
anyhow, in the loathsome sight of death in such
a shape as this. The swollen features, the mud
stained, weed-tangled. ragged CARRIED body, in
its unresting sway from the ripping waves
this, sad and mournful.wa the foreground scene
The sullen. dark tide, eddying and whirling
along. seeming eager for new vctims,-the DIES
olate swamps, so lonely, SO wild, and the dark
and grim bluffs, that lifted above all, was its
background. C, who had prepared to re-
