aathers brought lusty black bear to bay

DRowKED.--At Cannon City, on Friday
last, two young ladies', Misses Margaret Nor.
gan aud Sally Robinson were drowned. A
party of twelve, an equal number of ladies
and gentlemen had entered O sail boat for
the purpose of pleasure excursion on the
lake adjoining the village. The boat proved
to be too heavily laden, and the sail too large.
A gust of wind capsized the boat.-a GUAM
tity of lumber on shore was quickly convert
ed into raft and launched by the specta-
tors for the rescue, but too late to save the
persons whose fate We have recorded Miss
Morgan was native of Canada, Miss Robin
son of Ohio. Neither of them had mothers
living, and leave their fathers doubly bereay.
ed. During their short sojourn in Mime
sofa they had won the respect and love of
all who knew them.
WAs1oJA, DoDcE Co., M. I've had the
pleasure Of visit to this thriving village
few days since, and were truly astonished at
the rapidity of it's growth. All seems full
of life and activity. A new Touring mill is
in course of erection of three run Of stone;
buildings are springing up all around, and
we expect ere cold weather comes, to see
the town at least four times its present size.
Judging from the past and present appearan-
ces.-Owatona Watchman. '''
A New STAGE LINE.-M. c. Walker, the
celebrated Stage Proprietor, has purchased
the interest of Geo. W. Warren of Winons,
in the line of Stages between Owatonna and
Winona, and has put on Daily line, instead
of trl-weekly, as heretofore. The amount
OF traVe! is rapidly increasing on this route
and when tho existence of daily line be
comes fully known to the travel up the Mis-
sissippi. this will be the great thoroughfare
for Central and Western Minnesota.-D
SnoorING.-Last Saturday afternoon. or
a portion OF it, was occupied by company
OF our citizens in target shooting;-a very
pleasant exercise it is said to those who ham
die fire arms. We have no objection to the
but would like to suggest to
those engaging in it, that much better
place could have been found for it than that
used for it on Saturday. The shooting was
done on the town Plat, and nearly in the di-
reGtlcG OF oi1a Of cur principal Streets
There Is danger of glancing balls in such
cases, and human life is of too much value
to be put in jeopardy needlessly. Will our
sporting friends bear this in mind in future
in selecting place for shooting?-Ib. y rrs.
THE GOPHER HUNT.--The hunt ofwasch
we spoke in our last, was dec;dedoa Satur-
day. The number Of gss.avss, birds, &C.,
killed. was over htkaa Of which the larger
portion were goPhers or ground squirres-
The party, affeF tho count, sat down to
sumptucus dinner at the Eureka House. We
think tho corn crop will be affected by the
hunt.
The CRops.-The very favorable weather
we are now having, is telling beautifully on
the young grain. The Spring seems TO, be
rapidly making up for ita hteness, and
wheat and corn and cats are pushing ahead
with astonishin, ysgas. In fact it is doubt
fal whelhar spriag wheat ever did or ever
will look better 1T this time in June than
it does now
We have seen few fields of seasonablv
sowcd winter wheat, that is already knee
high. and giving promise Of extraordinary
yields. The only pieeea Of this grain that
look at all bad sfe those that were injured
by freezing out. This, however, Is only
seen where the fields are SO situated as to
exposed to the north and west winds. The
terrible winds Of last winter will long be
not more for the inconvenience
thay gave to travel and business generally.
than for tho warning they are now giving
in their effects upon winter grain. Farmers
will see the necessity of selecting localities
for fall sowing that are protected ~ much as
much possible, from the wind. There are
very few farms in thia city that have not this
protection, to soaAe parts Of them at least 1
stilla the damage done to winter wheat from
freezing out, is not going to prove very So
rious this season.
Corn is generally up and ready for the
hoe. 1t never looked better. .-O1oaoco Con-.

'PsssoxAL.-We had the pleasure to form
the acquaintance of the Hon. Galusha A.
Grow, few days since. Mr.. Grow repre-
sented the Bradford, Tioga and Susquehanna
District, Pa, in the last Congress and is re-
elected to the next Congress. As chairman
of the Committee on Territories MIR G.

the whole session. He will long be remcm-

clothes and being admitted as another star
