BENEFIT FOR THE RELATIVES OF DOM
ELLEY.-The proprietor of the Peoples The
atre having kindly given the use of his
theatre to the St. Paul Light Cavalry Com
pany, for Benefit in aid of the family of the
late j. Frank Donnelly who lost his life in
an engagement with the Chippewa Indians,
we are induced to hope that the citizens and
visitors of st. Paul will respond cheerfully
to this appeal to their sympathies. The de-
ceased was young man in the prime of life,
beloved by all who knew him-the main sup
port of his bereaved father and mother, to
whom no earthly reparation can compensate
for the loss of their beloved son, engaged in
the service of his country; and while acting
under the orders of the Commander in Chic f
of the Territory, to protect the homes and
firesides of the defenceless frontier settlers
from the depradations of a lawless band of
rowing Indians poor Donnelly was killed.
Such case is justly entitled to our warm
est consideration; and we know it is only ne
cessary to intimate to our fellow citizens
that Thursday evening next is appointed for
the benefit, when they, with their accustomed
liberality, will come forward to man, in
support of such an undertaking, and pour soil
and balm" on the lacera ted spirits of the be-
reaved family. The Military Companies of
the city will attend in full uniform, and the
aid of all is invited, in such a charitable un-
dertaking.

The Saint Paul Fire Dcpartment--.Ap.
preparation Of 5000 by City Council.
We have a Fire Department al last, and
are in fair way to have good apparatus.
"IIoPE ENGINE Co. No. l" was organised
on Monday evening, in Upper Town, in anti
cpation of the purchase by the City Council
of apparatus to rig one out. The following
officers were elected for one year.
M. Levoy, Foreman.
r. @. Wiley, Assistant Foreman.
Joseph Aey, No..
John. 7. Toal, Recording Secretary.
j. II. Dodge, Treasurer.
J Ii. Bristow, Steward.
The company applied for admission to the
Fine Department at the City Council yester-
day, and were recognized by a resolution pas
sed by that body, as belonging to the Fire
Department of St. Paul, under the name
chosen.
AID. Branch then offered resolution ap-
proprating $4,000 towards procuring two
Fire Engines and two Hose Carriages for the
use of the Department
Aid. Emerson from the Committee appoin-
ted some time since to procure estimates Of
the cost of the apparatus, stated that they
had been offered in Philadelphia by man
ufacturer, a seven-inch Cylinder Engine, for
$1,000, and hose cart with 500 feet of hose
complete for $1,000. They had concluded
to take two of each, and the remaining $1,000
would pay freight expenses, &c.
The resolution was passed without de-
bate.
Another company will be Immediately Or
ganized in lower town.

COTTAGE SITES AND ARcHITECTURE-T
number of beautiful sites for cottages and
elegant residences in and around St. Paul,
has been often remarked by strangers. 1t
has not escaped the notice of our own citi-
zel IS either, as the number of tasteful resi-
dences attest. But more beautiful order
of architecture could we'll become prevalent.
With the fall in the price of lumber, a great
err disposition seems to be indicated to 90 in
to more superfluous and expensive styles of
building But neat Gothic or Italian cot.
taee forms just as tasteful and elegant dwell
ing for suburban residence as costly and
ma ssive rectangular pile of brick or stone.
We would like to see some such STYLES Of
architecture common along the drives and
avenc:ts around St. Paul. Many fine resi-
dem; now dot the hills of st. Paul, and
hu:.cr eds more will be built soon. But an
+; III ovement is needed in cottage arcbitec
t--c. Then, what would otherwise have been
s'n all, ill-arranged and i'll looking buildings,
will become, with no more outlay, handsome
cottage homes. The appearance and beauty
of the city will be enhanced, and short time
change old and common looking districts in
to beautiful ueighborhoods.
