cellaneous Provisions, coming up in the or.
der of unfinished business. all the amend.
ments adopted m Committee of the Whole
on saturday, were concurred in by the Con-
venti"n, except the recommendation to strike
out the 10th Section-pro viding for tie pub
llcatlon OF detailed statements of the receipts
and expenditures of the State-which the
Convention determined to retain in the Arti.
cle
Mr.. LISLE proposed an additional section
as follows:
"SEc. -. Institutions for the benefit If
those inhabitants of the State who are deaf
dumb, blind, or insane, shall always be fos.
tered and sustained by legislative enact.
ments'
Which was adopted.
Mr., BUTLER submitted an additional sec.
ton, as follows: = ''o"'' ''0-
"SEc; =. The powers of the Government
OF the State of Minnesota shall he Divided
INTO three separate departments--the Iec;s-
latlve' the Executive, and the Judicial: and

ments shall exercise any Of the functions be.
longing to either of'the other departments,
except in such cases as are directed or ner'

SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1857.

On motion by Mr.. KING, the Convention
resolved into Committee of the whole and
too up the consideration of the article on
Miscellaneous Provisions contained in Report
No 25, from the Standing Committee on that
subject-Mr. King being in the Chair.
Pending the Consideration of Sec. l.
Mr. MORGAN submitted, that the first
Thursday Of January might be more appro-
pirate than the first Monday - Thursday
being the day Of the meeting of the Legisla-
ture. But he offered no amendment.
Mr.. MORGAN moved to amend by stri-
king out Sec. 2. (persons in unurganized
counties may vote at the nearest precinct }
1t was loose provision. There was no pro-
vision against voting in a district to which
the voter might not belong.
The amendment was lost.
Mr.. BOLLES moved to amend by adding,
a provision, that this section shall not inter-
ferc with other provisions Of this Constitu-
tion."
Mr. HAYDEN and Mr.. MORGAN
thought such provisio out Of place, unless
gentlemen were willing to admit, that they
did not know what were the provisions of
| their own work.
| Mr.. BOLLES said there was doubt about
| the construction of this section, at least but
! he withdrew the amendment.
Mr. MORGAN proposed to amend, by
providing that no man shall vote for mem
bers of the Legislature out of the district in
which he resides.
Mr.. SECOMBE proposed still further to
add: NOR for Supreme and Circuit Judges
out of the district or circuit in which he may
reside"
Mr.. MORGAN accepted the proposition.
Mr.. BALCOMBE. All the territory Of
the State would be included in the Represen-
tative and Judicial Districts, and there would
be precincts established wherscver there were
voters. He saw no necessity either for the
section or the amendments.
| The amendment was rejected.
Mr.. MORGAN moved to strike out Sec.
8 the Legislature may declare and pre-
scribe the manner of filling vacancies which
was agreed to-

Our readers in this Territory are all more
or less interested in the culture of this de-
lghtful frnlt. A writer in an eastern paper
says of it 1T is now no longer O question
whether a common bush Cranberry can be
cultivated on sandy SOIL BY taking up the
vines in spring, and setting them in any soil
that is properly constituted for the produc-
ton of Indian corn, good crop will be Sc
cured the second year, and the fruit will be
larger, finer, richer favored, than that taken
from swamps or bogs. Were I to begin Gran
berry plantation, wonld begin by breaking
up, in July or August, piece of light and
warm soil, roll and harrow thoroughly, until
the surface was reduced to a fine and perfect
filth. would then spread on from twenty
to thirty loads of old manure, and turn it in
with light furrow, then harrow and roll
with heavy roller. In the spring would
furrow both ways as for corn, making tn fur
row six inches deep, and allowing space of
four feet between the hills each way. In the
points where | intended to set my vines. /
would place half bushe of we'll decompos-
ed compost, pond muck, forest mould and old
manure, in about equal proportions, and plant
ont my vines. These should be taken direct
ly from their original beds, and planted out
while fresh. The best way perhaps, to re-
move them, is to cut up section of the bog
earth, with as many roots as may be thought
sufficient to constitute a good hill, and re-
move sod and all together. No ''hils' should
be elevated above the plants IN their new To-
cation, and if the weather is dry, the effects
of excessive drought may be obviated by
mulching. AS soon as the weeds appear, I
would introduce the cultivator. and dress of
the surface smooth, removing the aquatic
weeds introduced with the vines, by hand
The dressing should be repeated during the
first season as often as occasion might re-
quire; and the same process precisely should
be observed the second year, when the vines
will hegin fruit, and make some return fol-
the labor and expense yon have bestowed
upon them The growth of the Cranberry
plant, when managed in this way, is very ra.
pid +; it is attacked by no insect, and so far as
my observation extends is subject to no dis
eaee.

: SrERNE says, "The grand error of lifeis, we
look too far we scale the heavens-we dig
down to the center of the earth for systems
and we forget ourselves. Truth lies before
US; it is in the highway path, and the
ploughman treads Oh it with clouted shoes
And it might justly be added-The plough
man and ninety-nine per cent. of his fellows
don't perceive it. Why? because, all hav-

glaring that it blindfolds them like the noon

THE ARRESTS AT FRANKLIN.
Correspondence of the st. Louis Democrat.1

LAWRENCE, Aug. IL, 1857.
A company of dragons passed Lawrence
this morning in the direction Of the village Of
Franklin. They returned in the most insult
ing way this evening through the town-al-
though it is not in their direct course, and
took six prisoners to camp.
They were arrested in Franklin.
There is a rowdy there by the name of
Crane, who fhas several sons of the ruffian
species. Last year this family, when the
Georgia and Missouri highwaymcn held the
town, burned down mill belonging to free
state man there. Although this fact was
known and coudreadily be proved, they were
not driven from the town when the free state
inhabitants returned. Forgiveness seems to
make some men more fendish. 1t was so
with these Cranes. The sons have repeated
" threatened, within 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 wait
ed on two of the SONS and told them, in the
name of the citizens, that they must cease
their impertinence or leave town. One Of
them left town-,-for Walkers camp-and re-
turned with a company Of dragons.

Glorious and cheering are the reports that
come to US from every part Of the country,
in reference to the ripentd arvest. Tie
gathering in season has nov fairly opened,
and ''peace aud plenty' is the joyous burden
of every report that is sent forth from the
gatherers.
The farmers face beams with Joy the act
ors in the great drama Of commerce pace
their ''boards" with evident satisfaction and
all men who live by eating bread, and mot
bread alone" and whose means have so long
been over taxed by high prices for food, feel
encouraged that the markets will be supplied
by an abundance and to spare. The great
soul of humanity is made glad and invigorat-
ed by the assurances that come up, like 'the
glad t,dlngs of great joy,'' from the East and
the West from the South and the North,
that year of plenty and prosperity has been
vouchsafed US by blessing dispel sing Prov
idence.
The largest crop of wheat that has ever
been harvested in this country is now being
gathered. The aggregate yield will, it is now
manifest exceed by hundreds of thousands
of bushels that Of the most plentiful harvest
that has ever blessed the labors of American
husbandry. The corn crop, too, promises
exceedingly we'll, and will, We doubt not be
as much in advance of any former year, as is
that of wheat. Oats and barley are likewise
reported as unusually good and abundant.
Vegetables and fruit products are also rep
resented as plenteors and of sound condi-
ton in most localities where any attention is
devoted to their cultivation. The potato
crop-that most important of all esculents-
will turn out glorious vie d, and this fact is
already having sensible effect upon the
market. In some of the eastern cities a de-
cline of over hundred per cent. per bushe
is also reported. Other commodities must
soon "follow suit."-Chicago Journal.

GREAT DEEDs.-The spoken words, the
written poem: is said to be an epitome of the
man, how much more the work done. What
soever of morality and intelligence; what of
patience, perseverance, faithfulness, of meth
od, insight, ingenuity, energy in a word
whatsoever of strength the man had in hun,
will lie written in the work he does. Great
honor to HIM whose epic is a melodious hex
ameter Illia1 But still greater honor if his
epic be mighty empire slowly built togeth-
er, a mighty series of heroic deeds-a mighty
conquest over chaos There is no mistaking
this latter epic. Deeds are greater than
words Deeds have such life, mute but un-
deniable, and grow as living trees and frnit
trees do; they people the vacuity of time, and
make it green and worthy!-CarIyls. Tae

points out Is the employment of Young women
instead OF men IN hair dressing shops TO attend
on lady customers and children. IL is an occupa-
