The FIRE RIoT.-We need hardly saw that
the terrible riot that took place on the corner
of Pennsylvania avenue and FOur-and- half
street, on the night before last, has filled the
peace-loving in the community with just alarm,
and is a subject Of universal condemnation.
We are not believers in the idea that the NUM-
eipal authorities Of Washington are unable to
prevent such occurrences, and know well that
our feilow-eitizens look to them for their re-
preston We heard last evening that such a
not as did occur, and at the precise point where
1t occurred, was anticipated throughout the day
by hundreds in .arious parts of the CITY: that
the probability Of it was talked over in and
around the procession of the Northern Liber.

down TO the point in question, where there
proved to be an armed body Of rufians congre-

We have not heard Of single arrest in this
case for the yindication Of the outraged law.
The community in the neighborhood believe
that the United States Hose organization is n
mere cover for rowdy rufianism. We know
not on what grounds this opinion is entertained,
except the fact that the vicinity in whisA the
hangers-on about their engine house eongregate

EXTRAORDINARY SUPERSTITION.-TheL Ian
caster (2a.) Express of 9th inst. says tia
on Sunday last the good people of Ephrail
and vicinity were startled and shocked b,
the intelligence that the remains of a Ger
tain Miss Sophia Bauman, who died abou
nine years ago, had been exhumed on tha
day BY two men hired for the purpose b.
the friends of the deceased. 1t seems thal
tho young lady had died of consumptlon
and that since her death, two sisters, her
mother and two brothers had also died Of
the same disease. In all these cases he
reditary faint was strongly marked, and ne
doubt was left upon the minds OF physician
and all sensible persons as to the cause ol
their death; but the superstitious belief " as
seriously entertained that by some hoe s
pocus the winding sheet Of the corpse had
got into her mouth, and that by continu i
suction 1.-THE modus operaxdi If which was
only known to the spirits) she had actual y
drawn the other five members of the family
after her; and that unless this windipg-sbeet
was speedily removed from tn. mouth of the
corpse she would in like manner cause the
premature death of the whce connectiop |,
The body was accordingly e,humed, but to
he astonishment of the dehded relatives
10 winding sheet was fouEd in the coffin
he poor creatures having brgotten, in the
zeal of their superstition, that the last shred
IT piece of bleached muslin would rot
way long before the expiration of nine
'ears. The body was speedily re-interred.

Kandiyohi.


An advertisement in this mornings Min
nesotian notifies shareholders that an assess-
ment of twenty Ave dollars on each share
Of the town Of Kandiyohi has been made
This assessment is for the purpose Of enter
ing the town and prosecuting system Of
improvements already commenced, that will
be highly beneficial to the surrounding
country. Among the improvements spoken
of is the erection of steam saw mill and
single and lath factories. They have al
ready been purchased, and are now IN ST.
Paul waiting transhipment
Kandiyohi is situated on the chain of lakes
of that name, about 90 miles little north
of west from Minneapolis, and IS miles
north west of Hutchinson, in the most beau
tful section of country that the writer of
this article ever witnessed. Emigration,
which till last summer had not reached q
point farther west than Hutchinson, and
Forest City in Meeker county, is now set
Ting Kandiyohi-ward at most rapid rate,
and when the town company determined on
the erection Of mill, they did nothing but
what was demanded by the rapid settlement
of the country. We take pride in MOTTO
ing improvements going on in all parts Of
the country, but more especially in this, the
loveliest spot in Minnesota.

Fifty-seven years ago all the Northwes

will not pass away until the United Stat
has attained population of one hundrt
millions. The triumphs of the past are wo
drous. From o land without cultivation
without schools, without internal improv
ments, this has become a State, both pro
porous and powerful! The vessels whicI
traversed the beautiful river flowing at out
feet were the Kentucky ark for descendins
and keel boats for return. Fifty-one yea :
ago was young man, representing tt
county in the Legislature of this Stat.
when those pioneer steamboat builders, Me
sers. Fulton & Livingston, made a proposi-
ton to our State authorities to establith
lines Of passenger and freight boats on tn
OHIO, propelled by steam against the cure +.
at the rate of four miles per hour The pr
position was laughed out of the Legislatu
as impracticable. l was young fogy the

upon us of that day, the magnificent enter
prise of steam navigation would not now be
startling us with its grand achievements.

GETTING TO HEAVEN BY WAY OF NV
ORLEANs.-The Philadelphia correspondent
of the New York Dispatch gives the follow
ing:
A few days since, young man who h. d
long been been attached to q church, al 4
who was about to leave for New Orlear 3,
came to bid his pastor farewell. "And so
you are going to that degenerate place, New
Orleans, are you?" said the parson. "Yes,
sir; but don't expect to be influenced by
any extraneous pressure of any kind" re
sponded the young man, with considerable
earnestness. Well, am glad to see you so
confident. hope the Lord will guide you
But do you know the temptations which e.
list there?" "Not particularly, SIR" I'VE,
l do. You'll find wanton women in the
guise of Peris, tempting the very elect; am
rare wines and ardent drinks; and you Ii
find fine company, and night brawling, and
gambling, and dissipation, and running after
the lusts of ADAM" "Still, sir, l hope to
combat these successfully" 81 hope you
will, my dear Christian brother" was the re-
ply. II hope you will, and let me give you
this much for your consolation in case you
should fall from grace. The tempter is wors
than the SIM and the greater the temptation.
the more merit there is in resisting it. The
man who goes to Heaoe~ by aay of New o.
leans, is sure to have twice as high q plaoc
in eternal cory as he who reaches Paradis
through the quiet portals of Connecticut Or
Pennsylvania.

The Fourth of July.

A pretty general disdosition appears to be
manifested, to carry cut the suggestions of
the city press in relation to having general,
hearty and patriotic celebration of the COM
ing anniversary of our National Independ-
ence day. We hope it will be done, and
that all who intend to join in it, will make
timely preparations. Let all join in it. Let
every one decorate his house or store or
every public street with flags and other dem
onstrations. Let our national banner flutter
from every house in the city, and at night
bonfres, fireworks, balls, parties, music and
other demonstrations mark the returning
anniversary which we all in former homes
have been used to seeing properly celebrated.
We do not wish to see this greatest of all
public days pass by with a soulIess indiffer-
ence to its importance, as if we were dead to
all patriotism, and alive to nothing but gain,
money or position. Patriots, begin in time,
and we may yet have such demonstration
as will gladden. the hearts, and crafty the
national pride of every true American
citizen.

Hints to HOuSkeeDera.

Among the causes of the high prices of
all the necessities of life, the North Ameri-
can sets down household extravaganza as
one, and its remarks in that connection, CO.
pied below, are applicable to other cities be-
sides Philadelphia:
The unchecked plenty in which Ameri-
cans have usually lived, have caused habits
of wastefuness. We do not mean that peo-
pie are wilfully, or even consciously improv-
ident and careless. But we have fallen in
to habits of lavish provision for tho table,
through which at least twenty per cent of
the food purchased is wasted or thrown
away. 1t needs no peep into the kitchens
is detect this. The awkward city regula-
tons for the removal of the wasted food
from the houses, by which pals and tubs of
salmagundi are exposed on the curbstones
betray the fact that in nearly every family
wholesome food is thrown away. Pieces Of
white bread, of the finest -four, large guam
titles Of cooked vegetables and means, and
all the evidences of careless provision, meet
eyes and none as we walk the streets. We
have placed the rate of this waste at twenty
per cent, and are very sure that this is an
under estimate. A reduction of one-fifth in
the prices of household necessaries would
be regarded as very great advantage. Yet
it is in the power Of almost every house
keeper to make this saving without diminish
ing comfort; and if such reform were gen.
eral, the lessened demand must eventually
tell upon market prices.
