The RIENHART MURDER TRIAL-The pre-
liminary examination of j. G. Rienhart was
closed on the 9th, and he was committed to
await his trial. He was defended by NJ. j.
Severance, Esq, but the case was very strong
against him. The universal opinion is that
| he is guilty.
The St. Peter Free Press says that the cit
| izens of Lexington would not consent that he
should be taken to Saltwater for confinement
nor even to LIE Sueur for examination-so
strong is their determination that in this case
Justice shall be meted out to the guilty. They
are now busy erecting ajail, in which to keep
him secure.
"Rienhart is represented as being much
alarmed, and looking and feeling very badly.
The excitement was very great-persons be-
ing there to attend the examination from Man.
kato, Henderson, Belle Plaine, and the sur
rounding country. We are glad to learn,
however, that no violence was attempted by
the citizens, nor is any now anticipated. The
citizens of LIE Sucur County, though fully
satisfied of his guilt, and being determined
that he shall not escape, have wisely manifes-
ed disposition to let the law have its course.
A special term for his trial has been mention
ed, but whether or not it will be held, we are
not informed"
NAVIGATION, &C-Our navigation may be
considered as closed The Milwaukee came
up as far as Hastings on Tuesday night and
put back There has been no arrival since
day before yesterday morning, and as the
boats have probably got scared off, the North
ern Light was probably the last boat up this
season. There was no ice in the river yester-
day, however.
"a ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE" E."-On Friday
last a young damsel, respectfully connected,
appeared before Esq. Simons, and in the inter-
view, confessed, with many bushes and tears,
that she chad loved not wisely, but too well''
certain gentleman who had not yet fulfilled
solemn promises made to her about half
year prior. She gave up his daguerreotype to
aid in finding him, and Judge Simons issued
a very pressing invitation for him to call and
make the amende honorable, in default Of
which, short sojourn in the ''institution" at
Saltwater would be necessary for his good.
The gay deceiver" was brought in early
next morning, and after receiving some very
plain and paternal advice from City Attorney
Horne, Judge Simons, and Father Gibbs, the
upshot of the affair was, that all the parties
went to Mr.. Horne's office, where the young
lady and the erring lovyer were speedily made
one, ESQ. Gibbs officiating. Ais well that
ends we=
The TRIAL OF EDWARD HEENAN, REGIS
TER OF DEEDs-This Gentleman was brought
up before His (Acting) Excellency Sibley,
yesterday morning, charged with malfeasance
in Office, on which charge if proved, it is the
province of the Governor to depose and re-
move the incumbent. Mr.. Heenan appeared
in company with his Counsel Messrs. Smith
the prosecutors in the case, were represented
by Messrs. l. V. D. Heard and Henry j.
Horne.
Mr. Gilman, after the preferring of the charg
es, moved for postponement of the trial, or
hearing, until after the January term of the
District Court, as on some of the charges
now preferred Mr.. Heenan stands indicted,
to be tried at that term.
The motion was argued by Messrs. Smith
and Gilman for the defence, and opposed
by Messrs. Heard and Horne, for the prose-
cutors The defence endeavored to show that
"A prejudice exists in the minds Of the people
against Mr. H., which may have even reach
| I'd the Executive Office. He commented on
the powers of the Executive to so try and de-
| pose, and claimed for Heenan trial by Jury
on the charges already pending against
him before any arraignment and trial before
the Governor should be had, &C.
His (Acting) Excellency said that he would
require some interval to examine the province
and:powers of the Executive in the case, and
adjourned the case until this morning at ten
O'clock
THE ice was running quite heavy in the
river yesterday, and the thermometer ranged
in lower figures than any day so far this sea-
son. But Old Sol, albeit low down on the
Horizon, shone with bright rays, and seemed
to infuse a lively gaiety into everything. So
far, our winter has been pleasant enough,
and ustifes the good opinion of those who
believe it the most pleasant part Of the year
in Minnesota.
GENrLEMEN's FURs.-Everybody is enquir-
ing where to buy furs and other warm articles
We would say to such that the largest and
finest stock of fur caps, gloves, collars, &C.,
in the city, is to be found at Hazlett's, corner
of Third and Wabashaw streets. Everything
in the Gents Furnishing line is to be had
there, and at reasonable prices. Haslett al
ways keeps 'em.
