ARREST OF EXTENSIVE FoRGRs-NEw SHIN
PLASTER ESDORsERs IN THE FIELD.-On Sat
urday last otfic rs Crosby and Bracket,
assisted by others of the police force, arrested
two men, named Ben Monmouth, an English
man, and Charles Thompson-both butchers,
charged with passing bills on the "American
Bank" of Dover Hill, Indiana, with the ell
dorsement of Nv. b. Banning"
These men have slaughter house on the
Fort Smelling Road, about there miles from the
city, where they have been in the habit Of
butchering cattle, the meat of which was ai-
forwards sold in quantities to the railroad
boarding house keepers.
The money with the spurious endorsement
they used TO purchase the cattle with. The
scene of their swinding operations was in
Carver county, among some OF the honest
ducing to part with sundry fine cattle, giving
them as a quill pro quo, this nancy with the
spurious endorsement. Naturally shy ofrags,
were those sturdy German farmers-and as
country people have not so many facilities for
posting themselves up as city residents, they
were rather unwilling to take the money. The
one that did the purchasing has not yet been
arrested.
Accidentally of course, at this juncture
along comes two travellers-the same now in
jail-who, being accosted and Intercepted as
10, tba yolun af tlo rropnunnaI II :
good as gold" SO the Germans let their
cattle go, receiving about S17O or $175 of the
rags in return for them.
The Germans sent boy to help drive the
cattle, but after proceeding short distance,
the travellers casually overlook the men, and
offered to help drive the cattle in for dollar
each, as they were going that way. So the
boy was sent back, and the three accomplices
got off with their cattle, no doubt chuckne
over the greenness and gullibility of their vic
tins.
But the laugh was on the other side Of theil
mouth soon. The men whom they had swim
died, on goingto Shakopcc to make purchases,
We're informed that the money was worthless,
They started on foot to ST Paul, and on arriy.
ing here, presented the money to Messrs. w.
L. Banning & Co., who, of course, denied the
paternity Of the trash. The Germans then
visited Chief Crosby, and stated the circum
stances, when he despatched officers as above
to their house to arrest tic parties Mon
mouth was found hard at work carving up ar
OK. The hides of the animals were identified
and the spectators arrested.
As the chief operator of the gang was no
arrested, the others were released on payin|
to the Germans the value Of their cattle il
good money. 1t would have been difficult t
have convicted them, probably, but it seem
too bad to turn them off without any punish
ment Tor an act which all will condemn as NJ
better than the forgery of draft or check
which is punished severely.

Coon TINES AHEAD For Our MILITARY.-
We are pleased to learn that Adjutant Gen.
\. c. Jones has succeeded in committing the
eight hundred muskets due from the old Ter
ritorial apportionment, into four fine,. new,
brass field pieces besides a splendid lot of
new rifles, sabres, pistols and carbines. This
is good news to our military, and will give a
new incentive to the formation of companies.
But what is more gratifying than this, pro-
badly, to those companies already formed,
we learn that Quarter Master General Becker
intends to build, (under the provisions of the
62d section of the military law an Armory
one Hundred feet square next season. This
will store away all the arms and ammunition
of the Brigade, besides aflording drill room
where an entire regiment can be man@uvred.
The provisions of the new law are the best
we ever knew. 1t affords ample encourage
ment for the formation of companies &C.
and in the course of time we will have in
Minnesota an armed, uniformed and well dis
ciplned body of citizen soldiery that may be
equalled in numbers by other States, but can
not he surpassed in anything else.
Below we give the military establishment of
Minnesota, as we find it in the pamphlet law:

SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS Owing TO THE
CIrY-The recent investigations by the Chief
of Police and his assistants in reference to the
number Of license-payers, and those that
don't but ought to, has revealed the fact that
there are enough unlicensed rum sellers, dray-
men, liverystables, water carts, wagons, &C.,
to bring about six thousand dollars in the
City Treasury, if all honestly paid up. AS
this is too big a pile to lose, steps are being
taken to collect it in. Violators of the ordi
nance, stand from under.

STILL ANOTHER HORRIBLE MURDER!-A
Man Brutality MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY!
\ Gentleman who came down yesterday from
Mendoza, gives us the particulars of horri-
BILE murder which took place near there day
or two prior
A contractor (whose name he had forgot
ten) on the line of railroad near there had
been paid off, and started with quite sum
of money, to 60 to Faribault. This fact was
known to some avaricious wretch or wretches,
who pursued him, and having waylaid him,
cruelty murdered him on the prairie beyond
Mendoza and robbed the body, leaving it IN
buried by the roadside. This is even more
horrible affair than the Burdell murder in LIE
Sueur county. No one has been arrested,
nor was any one in particular suspected. The
tiends who committed the murder were sup
posed to be workmen on the railroad there.

MINNESOTA VEGETABLES ABROAD We
copy the following from the Richmond (Va.)
Dispatch, of last week:
Vegetables from Manesota-A basket of
vegetables, grown in Minnesota, consisting of
beets, three varieties of corn, turnips, Irish
potatoes and celery, all fresh and fine, is on
exhibition at the Agricultural Fair. The col
lection was sent to Mr.. Tho. H. Wynne, of
this city, by Mr.. Geo. L. Lumsden. These
vegetables were raised on new prairie land,
and are highly credtable specimens of the
growth of that productive country"
Mr. Lumsden informs us that some of them
were got on DR.. Jarvis's farm in Dakota
County, and somc'purchased as family mark
citing in market.
From the report of the committee on awards
we extract:
"The Committee also recommend the white
Ruta Baga Turnips presented by Henry Tim
berlake also notice the specimens of Vegeta
bles from Minnesota, which for average size
and perfection were entitled to the favorable
notice of the Society"

THE REPORTED LYNcHING OF RnlNEHART.-

ing or negativing the rumor that the people OIL
lie Sueur county had lynched or aSsasslnated
RuNEuARr, who was charged on vague CIR
cumstantiaf evidence with having murdered
Bodell in that county. We trust that the re-
port is not true We trust that the laws
made for the punishment of the guilty when
proved guilty; for the protection of the III
nocent persons charged with crime and net
prored criminal have not been outraged III
anv such manner-that the citizens oil Lie
Sueur county have not imbrued their m'''oS
in the blood of fellow being, and under 'he
pretense of Furnishing, mur1te'fd Inn Ill co'u
blood, We hope not to hear OIL ANY such
terrible transaction. We hope rather that the
people of LIE Sueur are law ABIDING people,
and not the, community of revengeiul, blood
thirsty outlaws which the commission of such
an act would show them TO be!
Wea await further intelligence from LIE Sueur
with impatience TO hear the rumor pronounced
an unfounded stigma on that county.

woman was at the Police Court yesterday
morning, who had walked all the way down
from Carver county to get the value Of some
cattle purchased by the two forged endorsers

day. The woman started with her husband,
but he was taken sick and went back. She
was much overcome by her troubles, and
cried freely. The men who had given them
the worthless rags are at large. The people
are poor, and tho loss of the money they need

TUE WINTER MAIL ARRANGEMENTS.-Or
Monday next, Burbank Express will com
mence carrying the mail from st. Paul to La
Crosse. The time allowed by the Department
is seventy two hours, but Mr.. Burbank, with
his we'll known enterprise has arranged mat
tiers so as to bring the mail through in .torty-
eight hours! Over two thousand dollars was
spent by him in fixing up one piece of road,
which has always been bad, in winter hereto
fore, and such things give st. Paul business
men the assurance that they will receive their
mails this winter even more regularly than
during the summer.
MeSsrs. Burbank & Co. have also made
arrangements to do heavy Express and Pas
senger business, and we opine that in the lat
ter they will have perfect monopoly.

SUPPOSED ANTICIDE.-Ye sterday morn
ing about o'clock, an old man was seen by
some residents near the corner of Fourth and
ROsabel streets, to be engaged in burying a
candle-box The box was lightly covered
over with dirt and left, ands'as the affair excl
ted some suspicion among the witnesses Of the
curious operation, the box was soon remoued
and opened, when 10 the dead body ola new
born infant appeared within. A large crowd
collected, and the Police learning the circum-
stance, arrested the person and lodged him in
the city Jail. He gave very fair account of
the matter, stating that the child was still
born infant, and he, being servant at the
place, was sent to bury it. His statement
proving correct, he was released, and the
mysterious affair" was cleared up. The
only error was in the improper way of dispos-
ing Of it.

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OF POLICEMAN
Yesterday morning Norwegian married lady
appeared before the Police Court, and swOre
out warrant against Policeman named
Charles A. Moore, recently appointed, on a
charge of attempting an outrage on her per-
son. The facts, as she stated, are these: She
got up about four o'clock in the morning to go
down to the levee, where her husband had
been all night watching their goods, with
which they were to go out on st. Louis boat
in the forenoon. Moore met her on the street,
and after attempting familiarities with her, en-
deayored to force her into a retired spot to ac-
complish his base purpose. She made an out
cry, however, when he left her.
The warrant was obtained and given to an
officer, but Mr. Moore was not to be found
immediately after the affair he had either es-
capped or secreted himself, and up to yester-
day noon had not been heard from. The Opin-
ion was freely expressed yesterday that his
escape was connived at, or else that there
were parties who knew his whereabouts. We
will not charge that any officer or officers know
his whereabouts, for we do not know such to
be the case-but they owed it to themselves
to bring him to justice if he was to be found.
AS the woman has left, and there is no chance
of convicting him now, we presume he may
turn up.
The antecedents III Moore's case are in keep
ing with this affair Our readers may re-
member that on the 18th of November, 1857,
or thereabouts, he, with two men named Hill,
and Howard, recently shot in later allray at
Columbus, were all concerned in a murderous
attack on the house and person Of a man
named Schwitzer, of Columbus. We believe
some of the parties arc under bail yet. Moore
and one or two others were brought by the
officers and confined in the city Jail here, and
now, few months afterwards, he is appoint
| ed a guardian of law and peace, and the lives
and property of our citizens. We are cred
IDLY informed that Mayor Kittson became cog
infant of these facts day or two before this
affair, and was about to remove him.

SHOCKING EXPLOSION I'VE learn from the
last Eoening Neps that terrible explosion of
the boilers of the steam saw mill at Industria
Give miles above Minneapolis took place at
about 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning.
The mill was erected and put in operation
last spring. the saws being propelled by a
powerful engine with three boilers. At the
time of the catastrophe there were II men in
the mill, and it is very miracle that many
were not killed on the spot The noise of the
explosion was terrific, and the wreck was to-
tai and most complete. The report of it was
distinctly heard in st. Anthony, and even as
far off as the Half Way House on the st.
Paul road, 10 miles away! Hardly one tim
Der was left upon another, and all the men
standing nearest were crushed in the ruins.
The mill was demolished The engineer, Mr..
j. Wolff, had his leg broken at the thigh,
and was otherwise severely injured. William
Hall suffered horrible fracture of one leg, a
portion of it being carried away. Four others
whose names the -Ncscs did not learn were
badly wounded.
One of the boilers, thirty feet in length,
nearly three feet in diameter, and weighing
$500 lbs, was blown a quarter of mile,
by actual measurement, through the air, pass
ing over two dwelling houses in its flight
Another boiler was sunk half its length in an
adjacent bank, while the third remained I'M
moved. The disaster is attributed to the
safety-valyes being out of order.
Drs. Murphy of that city, and Anderson OF
Minneapolis, were summoned to attend upon
the wounded. 1t was at first thought that
the two above named would have to suffer the
amputation Of leg each, but it is now be-
lieved that sllillful treatment will enable them
to recover.
The boiler above mentioned, continues the
Ne,cs, was carried six yards and one foot over
a quarter of mile at measured % feet
by 80 inches, and weighed over ton and a
half! Its course was up a hill and it is
thought by those who saw it, to have risen
800 feet into the air. 1t was fired like sky.
rocket, propelled by the steam escaping from
behind, and spectators of this novel artillery
practice, declare that, surrounded by steam
fire, smoke, and water, it resembled the comet
lately visible in our Western sky!"
