Wild geese arc beginning t. come to mar.

the State. John took us out riding the

Excitement -
Quite little hubub was occaSiohctt las
Monday by noise iii the streets, occa<ioncl
by two men from the country, who were
having little quarrel all to themselves
Windows flew up and people rushed into
the street, thinking that the Republican:
were holding another f" Conven:;oa'' This
however, was not the case, bit, We believe
the quarrel had its origin in the aim ght,
dollar"
Refreshing, very.
We are informed, by a gentleman VIII,
took particular pains to find out, that more
than sixty loads Of wheat were brought t,
Red Wing last Tuesday. The streets wer,
thronged all day long. with farmers and thei
teams. This was truly refreshing sight
I Ills true that prices are low, but it is also ,
fact that the yield Of the crops has been I'm:
usually heavy, and what is lost in price j.
nearly made up in abundance: Large shin
ments are being daily made, though man,
farmers choose to wait for higher prices
That the prices will be higher before rex
harvest, we very much doubt-at any rate
we do not believe they will advance enough
to remunerate the farmer for the trouble O

A Bad Road. go. H.
The old Hay Greek road, is at present al.
most impossible. We had occasion to pass
over it, . few evenings since, and found it, il
possible in worse state than has been red.
resented. The hills on either side of the
creek, are badly quilted some places q
foot or more in depth. 1t is unsafe for any
one to ride up and down those hills, and it
does not improve wagon either. Work
is being performed upon the new road, and
so rapidly, that lift is continued at the pres.
ent rate ofspeed, it will pc passable in about
five years. In its the new road's) presen,
condition it is unsafe to drive q heavil,
loaded team across the bottoms, and we dc
not believe one could cross after a week OF
two Of rainy weather. We hope soon to
see this road in better order, for it is il
fact the most feasible route to the country
being nearly level all the way, and having
no hill that would inconvenience travel. w,
hope this matter will bo looked to, for tn,
prosperity Of our city depends in . grea
measure, upon our roads, If tho roads ar,
good, the farmers will come to Red Wing
ifnot they will 80 somewhere else. The,
will 50 TO trade where the best roads are.
