THE DIFFICULTIES IN MINNESOTA

10, (via Dubuque 21st.)-The Demo
cratic Convention to-day passed a reso-
luton for the appointment of commit

vention, for the purpose of arranging for
the submission Of but one Constitution

The SHOOTING OF WAGsTAFF IN
New YoRK.-The telegraph on Satur-
day announced the fatal result of an al
tercation between Joseph S. Wagtaf,
Tombs lawyer, and Theodore S. Minis,
formerly city librarian, at the Shaw
House, in Broadway, New York, on
Friday night. The Mirror gives the
following additional particulars:
"When WagstaG, who was a most
athletic, powerful and withal, quarrel
some man, entered and asked him to
drink, Minis declined, and Wagstafs, who
seemed to have some grudge, abused him
before those present, by calling him OBJ
scene names, and saying he came there
in the morning with only 25 cents in his
pocket, and generally stopped until y
o'clock at night. Minis made no reply,
and took no notice of the SANDER. Wag-
staff, not satisfied with this, went over and
slapped Minis in the chin with his hand.
Minis said 8 go away, I don't want any
thing to say to you Minis tried to get
away, but Wagstaff followed him into a
corner of the room and struck him sew
eraI severe blows. Minis still made no
defense until he was struck four or five
blows and completely cornered. Finding
he could not escape this violence, he
drew a revolver and fired twice in sue
cession, killing Wagstaf on the spot
Minis was subsequently arrested with
out resistance. He declared that the
shooting was done in sef-defense, which
seems to have been the opinion of the
Coroner's jury, who returned verdict
saying simply that Wagstaf came to his
death from a pistol shot fired by Minis
The Coroner, who said he considered i
clearly a case Of solfdefense, thereupor
discharged Minis from custody.

DIRECTIONS ABOUT MILKING.-Give
the cow an easy pleasant place to stand.
Be in good temper yourself. Approach
her gently. Always have a good stool,
and sit on it, if the COW win let you,
while milking. Commence very gently,
especially if the COW is very sensitive,
or her udders or teats are sore. When
you have fairly begun, milk with q re
gular easy motion, and as fast as you can
without great fatigue, till you are done.
Milk very clean. If you milk in a large
dairy, always milk the COWS, and let all
the mixers have their own COW to milk.
A COW is better cOntented, and will give
more milk, if She is always MIXED by
the same person. Women are the best
mixers but never set a woman to milk
a COW that milks hard. 1t is too severe.

From Kansas.

The Missouri Democrat has a letter
from Lawrence of Aug. Is, the same
date as that of our correspondent from
Quindaro, published yesterday. Our
correspondent stated that seven free
State men had been arrested on a charge
of making threats against an old pro-
slavery resident The particulars are as
follows
They were arrested in Franklin.
There is rowdy there by the name
of Crane, who has several sons of the
rufIian species. Last year this family,
when the Georgia and Missouri high
waymen held the town, burned down a
mill belonging to free State man there.
Although this fact was known, and could
readily be proved, they were not driven
from the town when the free State in
habitants returned. Forgiveness seems
to make some men more fendish. 1t was
so with these Cranes. The sons have
repeatedly threatened, within a few weeks
past, to shoot several of the prominent
/ free State citizens. As they were often
drunk, it was feared they might do So
/ A committee waited on two of the sons
and told them, in the name of the citi-
zens, that they must cease their imper-
Thence or leave town. One Of them
left town-for Walkers camp-and re
turned with q company of Dragons.
This sort Of thing has never been
tolerated here since last autumn. The
. bogus officers everywhere knew that il
they ever imprisoned any free State
mon, they would be shot for their pains
They wisely reGraincd-at least in the
interior. Walkers recent raid agains
Lawrence is encouraging them anew
/ twill be put a stop to in a week or two
The following local news is Of inter

complicated case.
