THE MATCHMAKING MOTHER.

Ny married daughter could you see,
I'm sure y,u would be struck
My daughters all are charming girls,
Few mothers have such luck,
My married one-my eldest child
All hearts by magic wins
And my second so resembles her,
Most people think them twins.
Ny married daughter spoils her spouse,
she's quite pattern wife
Aud he adores hcr-well he may.
Few men lead such q life
And she ne'er had marriet mortal man
Had he not won her heart
Aud my second darling's just the same
They're seldom known apart.
Her husband oft has press'd my hand,
While tears stood in his eyes,
And said, You brought my Susan up,
With you the credit lies"
To make her domestic wife
] own was all my aim
And my second is domestic too
Ny system was the same.
Now, do you know. I've often thought,
The eldest Of the two,
(She's married, so may speak out,)
Would just have suited yous
You never saw her s-how shall I
Ny eldest girl portray?
oh my seconds just her counterpart,
And her you'n meet to-day.

sion VIII ch the numerous drays. wagons. coach
es &c, will sometimes get into on that crowded
place. Some of their drivers are rather op
posed to this doctrine of take your time," and
try to crowd their neighbors out of the way
But they generally get brought up standing
by some star, and have to come into the prac-
tise of some accommodation and forbcarance
Numerous hot disputes arise between the Po-
licemen and the draymen on this account, but
tney have generally succeeded admirably in
preserving order and peace.

A company of eighty emigrants. with over
four hundred horses, passed through Dubuque,
Iowa, last Saturday, on their way by the over
land rOte from Minnesota to California. The
recent cold weather in Minnesota has dsgusted
many of the settlers there.-Cineinnafi Times
The Dubuque paper which first gave curren-
cy to this lie, or fabricated it out of whole
CLOTH" was either knowingly making a mis-
statement, or was egrcgiously hoaxed. No
such occurrence has ever taken place. We
have never heard of any party who left this
country after settling here, under any pre-
tcnce. Sometimes an immigrant or two disap-
pointed in not making his fortune in two weeks
residence, or finding splendid farm ready for
claiming turn back. giving terrible reports of
this awful country. But the 'recent cold
weather. hasn't affected the poor Minnesotians
half as bad as some of the Dubuquers Or Gin
cinnatians have suffered from the dsagreeable
winters they have in those lot alitics. The
weather here wasn't a bit colder. more dsa
greeable, protracted, or "disgusting" last win
ter than you had il in your own cities.
AS an Offset the 80" emigrants and over
400 horses" fl llg from Minnesota, we want to
tell you, MI. Cincinnati Times, of great
many thousands of men [with horses proper
tionate,] who are daily coming to this terrible
cold country. to perish here in the desperate
,cinters rumor saith we have. Even from your
own city, scores are arriving every day, not
withstanding your report of the party who fled
from here in dismay. Many of our population
are from the Queen City; and the united opin-
ion of all is, that the winters here are delight
full compared with the wet, damp. chilly, mud
dy, changeable, rainy winters of Cincinnati
Nearly all have done well in this country. and
we know of no one who could be tempted to
go back. especially for such reason as the
cold ,ceather. Just spend winter in this arc
tic climate. on trial, and you will settle here
for life, we guaranty.
"Disgusted with the cold weather." ha ha,
Mr.. Times-we fear you are sold, and for low
price too.

THE THEATRE.-The theatre was again well
to witness the representation of the thrilling
drama of the Female Gambler. The whole
play was excellcntly well acted. The farce of
the Maid with the Milking Pail, was also ad-
mirably we'll done.
The bill for tonight lisa good one, being the
same as was offered on Saturday evening,
which is said to be the best one played in ST..
Paul, and which many persons were unable to
witness on account of the weather.

Horse AND CATTLE MARKETs-We would he
glad if those in this business would leave us
memoranda occasionally of sales made by
them, with prices. &c. We propose to devote
more attention to the cattle and horse market,
which is daily assuming more and more import
ance in this place. 1t involves such labor to
visit all the yards, many of which are distant
from our office, that without such favors, we
could do but little.
Account of horse sales made iby F. E. Col
Inns during last week:
Span black Horses, years old at auction $3.50 90
large gray Horses land years old
Span large gray Horses and years old. 525 90
1 Z" 6 year ods. Observation-Disclosures. $50 90
Fine Buggy Horse. ...... .............. 800 90
From this will be inferred the quality Of
horses in demand here, and the average prices.

SATURDAY afternoon was another one of those
breezy days which in dusty time, induce sun
dry ill natured expressions from sufferers Real
estate was rising rapidly all over town, and
everybody unfortunate enough to be on the
street was engaged in rubbing their infamcd
optics, which had caught stray pulverous atoms.
The wind played strange freaks too; in fact did
pretty much what it pleased, without fear of
conseqNenees. We think this highly censura-
bic, and ought not to become too common in
the community; and had not a cooling and
dust-asSuag aging shower come to our relief about
o'clock, the patience of everybody would
have been severely tried. The streets were
sprinkled for awhile, in style which put the
watering carts utterly in the back ground.
The storm continued till late in the night
Yesterday morning, however, gave no signs OF
the elemental war of the evening before. All
was calm, bright and serene.

SAINT PAUL. MINNESOTA TERRITORY SATURDAY MORNING. MAY

News FROM THE RED WOOD AGENCY-ONE
OF THE CAPTIVE WOMEN RANsoMED!-Jas. E.
Phelps, Clerk of the Fire Canoe, which arrived
yesterday morning from Red Wood, where it
had taken Indian stores, informs us that when
they arrived there, they found about 700 In
dians of the Sioux tribe awaiting the distrbu-
tion, who had been collected there for several
days. almost without provisions, and were near
ly starved. On the arrival of the stores, they
become fairly frantic, and Mr.. Flandrau, the
Agent, directed so barrels of pork to be opened
and distributed among them Immediately.
One of the bands brought to the agency one
of the captive women which chief had pur
chased of the band who had stolen her, for
kcg of powder! Mr.. Flandrau Immediately
sent several men in the direction indicated by
the Indians where the other women were sup
pose to be, Offering reward of $500, for each
of them, to any one who would restore them to
the men. 1t is supposed they will be found,
and returned in safety to their friends.
No other news of Importance was brought
down by the Fire Canoe. -

ANOTHER MAN DRowNED.-Ycsterday about
noon, deck hand, whose name we did not
learn, of the Minnesota, while endeavoring to
jump on board barge lying along side that
boat, was caught or tripped by rope. in some
way, and thrown in the water. He rose once
after the first plunge, but the current carried
him under the barge, and nothing more was
seen of him. A boat went out in search, but
it was too late. This is the sirh man drowned
here since the opening of navigation.

A SUGGESTION TO STEAMBOAT CAPTAINS.-
The inhabitants of St. Paul work hard. There
are very few idle hands or heads in this me-
tropolis. All the week long, the brain and
body is taxed to the utmost, in the eager race
for wealth. When Sunday comes, forced upon
them, only is the labor relaxed, and scarcely
then. Restless and fidgety. that day of rest is
worried through with excess or amusement,
generally.
But if people ,cM have recreation of a ram
bling and sightseeing nature on Sunday. it
would be an excellent idea, and a profitable
one to the person undertaking it, to provide for
the pleasure seeking population, some cheap,
and sober amusement, in which all could join,
and find some sensible pleasure.
Our city is SO young yet, and withal, not so
over crowded that their spirit seeks relief in
Sunday excursions to the country when that
day comes, glad to escape from the noise, heat,
and dust; but still, that old and never subdued
desire for the green fields, the cool grove. the
delicious smell of the growing grass, flowers
sad foliage, is as active here as anywhere. 1t
is to the country that the n.aso sf ,ity lweli-
ers ever look for their amusements On Sunday.
We believe an excursion got up to some
point near the city on Sunday, would pay we'll.
Some boat which has nothing else to do, might
make "speck," by carrying the excitement
seekers few miles up the river,-to Fort Smell
ling, short distance up the Minnesota or
down to Red Rock.
In eastern cities. this has always been pop
ular mode of spending the day, and it requires
only some one to inaugurate it here. to provide
for our toiling population pleasant amuse.
ment to prepare body and mind for another six
days toll.
We hope we shall not draw upon ourselves
the censure of any one for having advocated
such movement as this. We believe this to
be much better than spending the day in So
looms and billiard rooms, or drunken, riOtOus
enjoyment which is only result of the natural
d,sire for some kind of relaxation 1t is a phi
lanthropic move. The mechanic. the over
worked shop clerk, and the business man. too.
can there, with their wives and children. enjoy
few hours quiet pleasure. Surely the contact
and communion with nature, now fresh and
lovely, will have none but good effect.
Supply will in this case, create demand -
We recommend an excursion trip to any steam
boat which happens to remain in polt to NOR
row. We believe such a movement would
meet with ample encouragement.
