st. Peter.

We learn from the Report of the Secretary Of
the St. Peters Company, that its affairs are in
prosperous condition, and that there are now in the
Treasury, $9,l56 90. Three years ago this new
and aourishing town was mere extent of prairie,
with only one or two houses, and presented such
an isolated condition that few could be induced
to live there or accept the property as gift.
Those who, two years ago, prophesed its growth
and prosperity. were laughed at as disposed to
puff into notoriety paper town but the events
which have transpired within the brief period al
ludcd to, fully corroborate the views entertained
BY us at a time when sneers and insinuations were
deemed more eifectivc than arguments or
reason. On the l4th of March last, the Dr.
rectors declared Dividend of so per cent. at u
time when the Capital stock was only 100000
now it is $l5O,00O. Lots are selling at the
rate of $500 to $500, and there is every reason
to believe that the town will continue to prosper
more rapidly in the future than during the past.

Another Bloody Affair.


We do not seek scenes of violence and brutal.
ty, but when they occur it is our place to chroni-
Gle them. 1t seems that Jerry Donahoe, the pro-
prietor of the brothel by the Upper Cave, betook
himself to the other house of ill-fame on the
Saltwater road, for the avowed purpose of &c fog
ging" its proprietor. 81" 10
But the second Lothario met his assailant on
approaching, and a deadly fight ensued, in which
the keeper of the upper establishment" was
worsted. Without dealing any serious blows, he
received several frightful wounds from some
heavy weapon which rendered him at once un
conscious. There were eight or ten awful gashes
inflicted upon his head, laying bare the skull so
serious that for a time it was thought they would
prove Immediately fatal, but he was brought to
this city where under the best medical care, he ID
speedily convalescing. His nose was also broken,
and his face badly lacerated.

he must keep out of bad company.

Fire I'm Third street!

Our citizens were startled last evening by the
cry of fire." which proceeded from the Dry
Goods Store of Mr.. A. T. Chamblin, on Third st.
near the corner of Robert. The structure con.
sisted wholly of wood and in short time was
completely enveloped in flames. All the adjoin-
ing buildings were in imminent danger, and it was
only by the timely assistance of the activity and
energy of the hundreds who had assembled, that
the fire was warded of and thousands of dol
lars worth of property saved. The citizens ex-
hibited commendable promptness in helping
wherever they could, but we noticed - worthyo of
especial remark, the prudence, GOODNESS and in.
trepidity of the members Of Pioneer Hook and
Ladder Co. No. l. Their work TOLD. With the
wind blowing from the South -east, strongly for
this lntitude and climate, how the flames could as
i'll this case, lick up one frame structure from the
mdstof a:nest of wooden buildings without ma
teriaiiy injnring any of those adjacent, aeems al
most miracle. -
3 Mr.. Chamblin, the occupant, had stock of
1000 worth of goods; insured $4,000. He
also owned the consumed building, which was in
sured for $1,000. (This We think will cover the
scost.) j. j. Shaw Co. in the Hat Store adioin-
ing, had about $4,000 worth of goods insured
for 81 900. Most Of the goods in both stores
were saved, though in damaged state. The safe
be found this morning 8 in good order and con-
dition," among the ruins.
The fire was communicated to the building from
the chimney, and first caught between the floors.
We learn that in the excitement, a man was se-
verely injured; being struck upon the head by q
roll Of carpet, thrown from an upper window.
As we chronicle these fires, we cannot help
thinking of the possibility of those more disas-
trous, and of asking mentally Gentlemen of
the Common Council where are the efficient fire.

Industrial University.

DEAR TIxEs.-Your suggestions in relation b
the establishment of Peoples College at the
present Fort Smelling, are in harm ony with the
oft repeated efforts Of some of the best scholars
and most practical thinkers of the present day.
In Europe, Polytechnic schools of the highest
order are sustained by the Government.
The more we think of the project Of converting
the Fort Smelling grounds and buildings into
Peoples College, the more heartily we respond to
the national want of such an institution.
The vast mechanical interests of the Ncrth
West, its engineering, milling, mining and agri-
culture all demand, as with one voice, the es'
tablishment of an Industrial University, whereat
the vigorous youth of the coming genera
ton may draw knowledge from reservoir OF
science, endowed by the liberal forethought and
wisdom Of the nation. -
What better time to take this subject into con-
sideration than now, when We are about to throw
of the pupilage of Territory and assume the
mantle Of State !? We trust the present Legis-
lative Assembly will make some movement to-
wards such high purposes. A CITIZEN.

The Ladies, Festival.

The Ladies of the Baptist Society of this city
gave magnificent entertainment, on Friday eve-
ming, in the Hall of the Pioneer Guards. Owing
to pre- engagement, we were not able to be
present, but we are informed by one of the par
ticipants, and one who is seldom absent on simi-
lar occasions, that this was one of the most So
cial affairs of the kind ever got up in the Terri
tory. Two tables sixty feet long were freighted
with viands and delicacies of every description,
and the whole arrangements Of the Festival were
as generous and tasty as the furnishing of the
table was sumptuous. The attendance was fair,
and we are glad to learn that the liberal patron
age will amply recompense the Baptist ladies for
their enterprise and their labor. aa- it

Printing of the House, to state that this Office
was entirely unsolicited, as it was undesired by

justice to this gentleman to say, that his name

that he was chosen merely as the Trustee of the

Press of this city, and that he has since, accord
fits and profits of the situation to the Times and

dence of the political party of which our cd friend

as high and deserved compliment-andw we hope
that if in the future, this party have any honors
to confer, it will hold in remembrance those who,
