1t having been generally announced that
II. NJ. H. Sibley, who has been engaged for
few weeks at New York negotiating State
Bonds for the benefit of the Rail Road Com
panies of Minnesota, was to arrived in yes
terday's stage, party of Heavy Dorg Citi-
zens went out to meet HMM an eight-horse
sleigh, and three or four one-horse sleighs.-
The return was most triumphant, and the
whole was arranged in effective tableaux.
When the procession and escort was crossing
the river, the steam whistle, or ''horn" Of the
Rotary Saw Mill set up mellihuous strain,
and welcomed the Conquering Hero" in
loud key The effect of this was startling
that is, it started the men to dinner
Arriving at the Fuller House the Heavy
Dorgs disembarked, and formal reception
was given H. M. H. the COMMANDMENTS Chief
of the State Militia. VIM. G. Gray Esq,
took off his hat, and led the way for three
prodigious cheers, which re-echoed admirably
from an adjoining lumber yard, scared sever
al small boys looking on, frightened the hors-
es of the triumphal chariot and caused po-
liceman drinking lager in saloon square
off to drop his glass [empty] and run out in
such haste as to forget to deposite the usual
half dime.
H. NJ. H. was then ushered into an ap-
partment up stairs, when he evinced his deep
gratitude by calling for champagne and other
delicacies such as cakes and jelly, and last but
not least sugar coated New York popcorn
A general good time was had. The H. DIS.
were pleased with their reception, and all
agreed that they had "done the thing up au
fait :" (our Reporter is in doubt whether he
understood this quotation exactly it might
have been mil desperandum and thinks this
quite apropos) Another Horn.
II. M H. being called on for the latest
news from the Bonds, in the midst Of a
GREATNESS silence said that che was happy to
to announce that-the- bonds-were-
at-last-in fair way to-to-to-that is,
they-they-he had left them with very re-
sponsible house, who promised they should
be negotiated, if-if-if- the-the-the Rail
road Companies fulfilled the conditions of
the act" &C., &c. Profound sensation at the
overwhelming success Of the Embassy-one
OF the ii. D.s-dsade-"T That's very much
like coming out of the little end of the Horn" ~
The only visible excitement created by the
arrival of H. M H. is among the small boy
and girl who peddle popcorn. They are very
much concerned lest New York merchants
should supercede them. Their old customers
console them, however, that they can sell as
cheap as any new Corners.

PROSPECTIVE EMIGRATION. From many
sources we learn that a large emigration to
our young State may be expected next sea-
son, despite the false glitter and allurements
neid out to entrap emigrants to go to Kansas,
Arizona, and other like desolate regions. The
class OF immigrants we are to receive are the
solid, intelligent, well-to-do farming class and
enterprising mechanics and artizans- tbose
who will not take stheir families into a barren
overcrowded "gold mining region, but prefer
coming into new State where they can find
quiet homes, and make good investments with
their capital. We may add, too, that travel
ing will be very cheap on the Upper Missis-
sippi next season, and facilities for all who
may come will be ample.

IA TEUToN IN A QUANDARY.-One of our
worthy citizens of Teutonic nationality, was in
what is usually called "peck of trouble"
day or two since. 1t seems that JOhn-we'l
bet that's his name-was about to lead to the
Hymeneal Altar one of the Vaterland's fair and
plump daughters, and had the hour, place
and arrangements all duly announced, and the
guests invited. But one grave obstacle lay in
the way of the happy consummation. John
had had one vroao already, from whom he had
just procured divorce, in order to take No.
into his home in lawful manner. But
Johns lawyer still held the "papes," and tie
fee which he demanded for surrendering the
same-so that there could be no doubts or
objections raised when the ceremony took
place-was rather beyond Johns purse, and
so the ceremony was postponed. The bride
groom expectant was in a terrible stew at this
unlocked for and unwelcome denouement, and
Immediately sought the Clerk of the District
Court to gain relief What was done with
the distressed candidate for matrimonial hon.
ors, or what was the ultimate upshot of the
affair-whether the documents are still with
held, or whether the hard heart of the attor-
ney has relented, and the blooming Katharine
has been united to the ardent John, we are
not informed. How true, though, is the old
maxim, Many slip. between cup and lip.

The New THEATRE BUILDING.-We have
been favored by H. Van Lew, proprietor of
the present Peoples Theatre, with glance
at the plans and designs for the Splendid ORA
matte Temple which that enterprising mana
ger designs erecting next season, under the
auspices of several wealthy and liberal cti-
zens We have before mentioned the loca-
tion,-on the corner Of Sixth and Cedar
streets,-and given in general terms the di-
mansions of this proposed splendid ..edifice.
We will now more fully specify its architec-
tural details, and the internal arrangements,
which we think win make it the best arrang-
ed theatre in the West, while it will compare
with any in size, neatness of design, and i'm
posing proportions.
The Building will be 70 feet front, and $50
feet long. The walls, which will be 48 feet
high, are feet thick at the foundation, and
2 feet at the top. The stage is 80 feet deep,
and has 40 feet opening between the prosce-
mum boxes. Parquette is 40 feet deep, with
2 feet elevation. Dress Circle, 80 feet deep,
with inches elevation to each row of seats.
Gallery raised Is feet from Dress Circle, and
elevation of 10 inches to each seat. Main
entrance 2Ox24 feet, from which there are
two entrances to Dress Circle, each 8 feet
wide. Aisles between seats. in Dress Circle
and Parquette, feet 49, Side entrance to Gal
lery, feet.
The comfort of the audience is well looked
to in the arrangements for heating in winter
by hot air furnaces, and cooling the air by
ventilators in the roof, in sultry weather.
There are ample accommations for 24o0 peo-
plea larger audience than will fill it, per-
haps, for some years. The arrangements for
egress in case of fire are excellent, for the
whole building can be vacated in two minutes,
through the broad aisles, entrances, and stair
ways.
The Building will be lit with gas through
out, and painted, grained, and decorated in a
becoming manner. The mason work will be
commenced as soon as the weather will per-
NIT, and prosecuted vigorously to completion,
so as to enclose it by fall, and finish the in
side work during early winter, so as to be
ready for opening by Jan. LIST.
1t will be seen by the above memoranda,
that we are soon to have building worthy of
its purposes, where the Drama-lovers can
repair with feeling of pride, and which can
be used for coordinate purposes, the Opera,
Concerts, Lectures, &C., and have ample &C.
commodations for the largest audience that
our City can at present give.
