THE RAILRoAD.-We mentioned q
week or two ago, that the President of the
St Croix & Lake Superior Railroad Com
psny, and parties wishing to contract for
the building of the road. for the first
twenty miles, were to be here; and we
have now the pleasure of stating to our
readers that President Lockwood, En-
gineer Daniels, and Messrs Noyes and
and Baldwin, contractors, arrived here on
Sunday last and have been cut for The
past two days, prospecting on the line.
There is every probability that the work
upon the road viii soon be commenced.
Mr.. Noyse is an old contractor and has
lately been at work upon the Delaware
and Lackawanna road, among the hills
of Pennsylvania. He cannot fail having
n favorable impression of our country,
and we predict that within thirty days he
will be on hand with the requisites to a
beginning of the work,-Hud North

Gg The weather-that never failing
resource for newspaper parapraphists-
demands passing notice. By some
strange influence, the weather during the
past Spring has belied almanacs and chro-
nology. The sunny days of May camo
drifting by in glad procession, while it
was yet March, and boisterous March has
gloomed upon us through nearly all the
''merry May" But ''seed time" has not
failed, and though corn is in its infancy,
other crops look finely. A gentleman
who has just come by land from the south
ern portion of the State informs us that
nowhere has he seen better looking crops
than in the Kinickinic valley. Nearly q
week ago W were shown 3 tuft ofrye Ia
ken from Mr.. PoMERoY's field measuring
At feet in height and well headed out.

FrsHNc.- The last legislsare have
enacted a law providing that no brook
trout shall.be caught between the first of
November and the. first of March, nor
shall shey be caught at any time except
with hook and line. This is a good
law, and we hope and believe that in our
vicinity it will be strictly enforced.
