this fall. Already is the question mooted Of
uniting all parties outside of Hastings in
contest against this City at the Fall election,
and in such an event it is evident what the
result will be. hope that such may not be
the case, but indications favor such conclu-
sion.
Great enthusiasm was manifested here last
evening by the Irish friends of Mr. Robinson
congratulatory Of his triumph. The anvils
were brought out, and round after round was
fired, yet Mr.. Robinson failed to present him
SELF SO it is possible that he is ashamed of
the tools he used so effectively in elevating
himself to Office. ..
The varic us steam-saw mills in this City
are in active operation, and since last year
another has been added to swell the number.
This mill is owned by Messrs. Curtis & Co.,
is situated on the Mississippi near the foot Of
Eddy street, and is capable of turning of a
vast amount of lumber annually. Messrs.
Curtis & Co., deserve great credit for erecting
this one of the best, as well as largest Mills
in Minnesota. By the way understand that
a German was seriously injured at this mill
yesterday morning, by one of the bands fly
ing from the wheel, which in its course struck
the unfortunate individual He will proba-
bly, recover.
An Agricultural Society has been formed
in this county, and with the farming commu-
nifty it meets with great encouragement
With mechanics however, there is not the in
terest that could be desired. A meeting will
be held at Hampton on Tuesday next, June
lst., at which it will be determined when and
where the fair will be held, and at which q
premium list will be adopted. We under
stand that there are some excellent improved
cattle and sheep in the county which will be
on exhibition at the fair, and also that me-
chanics as well as farmers are preparing to
make the fair an interesting one.- I can but
look upon this Association as powerful in
strument in the development of the resour-
ces Of the county. Our farmers expect to
greet the State with the best display, and a
larger area of cultivated lands within her
borders than that of any other county
The work of grading the streets, and con-
structing levees at their foot, projected and
carried forward by individual enterprise, has
for some time given an air of prosperity to the
City, and in fact this work is permanent
benefit. Second street has been materially
improved, while the levee at the foot of Ver-
million is being slowly advanced. It is a
heavy work, yet have no doubt but the en-
ergy of the individuals who projected it will
push it forward to completion. Ramsey and
Tyler streets have been opened out to the
broad prairie, and all these works have given
employment to laborers of the City since
early Spring-thus doing public service in
more ways than one. Hard times has not
blighted the energies of our people, Eor has
it abated their ardor; it has but deprived
them of the means, and the temperance of
circulating medium will witness resump-
ton of every branch of improvement.
There are a few buildings going up in this
City-a large store-house on the corner of
Second and Ramsey streets, is the principal
building, while private residences are being
erected in various parts of the City.
A big show-the bearded woman, the
trained monkeys, the female band, the Swiss
warbler, and what not, are to perform here on
Saturday next. Doubtless it will pick up
considerable amount of the small change
which just at this time we can lily spare.
Yours, truly, FERULE.
