| We thank somebody for a delightful (?)
seranade during the I'VE sma' hours'' Of
last Tuesday night If = sound half way
between the grunt Of porker and the yell
Of catamount can properly be styled mu-
sic, then We pronounce it music indeed.
LO! the Poor Indian.
Quite large number Of Indians have
been in town this week, and are an object
Of considerable curiosity to strangers who
are visiting our city. 1t is about time for
new potatoes and roasting ears-hence, their
(the Indians) visit at this time. They are
camped on the Cannon about three miles
from here.
Gody's Lady's Book.
The August number of this excellent
magazine came to hand this week, and is in
no wise inferior to prior numbers. It is en-
bellished with large number Of patterns.
fashion plates, ETC., and is for sale by E. P.
Lowater Subscriptions received at this
office We will furnish the Sentinel and
Lndy's Box for $500 year.
New Volume.
One moro numbe: viii! complete the Sd
volume Of the Sntin<l, and we hone all
who wish to see our paper sustained will
use their endeavors to help us enlarge our
subscription list. We shall strive to make
the Stnt'na1a tirst-class journal. and wish
the aid Of all Democrats TO enable us to do
it. Now is the time to show your good
will and patriotism. Pitch in, gents.
Vegetables.
All may not be aware that we have a
vegetable market in our city, yet such is
the fact. We were somewhat surprised,
however. upon learning to what an extent
the trade is carried on. We allude to those
little girls and boys. who, with baskets on
their arms, and happy smile on their
faces, perambulate our streets every morn
ing. calling from house to house, with their
clean, fresh vegetables. These Industrious
little ones ought to be we'll patronized by
those who have to buy vegetables. Their
stock consists of turnips, bcets, radishes,
leutice, onions. etc, ETC., which they sell
cheap, and deliver fire: Of charge.
Yachting.
This is a new subject to most of our Red
Wing readers, but it is one which should
claim the attention Of all who wish to en-
joy our beautiful moonlight evenings to the
fullest extent. Directly opposite this city
is beautiful sheet Of water, which is both
large and deep enough to sail boat of ten
ar fifteen tons. 1t can bc rendered easy Of
access with very little labor and expense,
by.simply cutting small canal through the
island, the distance across which is cam
Iparativcly triding. When finished, boa.
could start from Red Wing, and in five min
ntcs be transported into one Of the most
beautiful lakes in the country. There GER
tainly ought to be energy enough omong our
citizens to consummate this desirable OBJ
ject. Who will take the preliminary steps.
Don't all speak at once, but let somebody
say something. Though not quite as large,
lit is much safer body of water to sail on
than Lake Pepin. We shall be happy to
chronicle the formation Of yachting club
in our city.
Hydr rpbObis.
Nearly every paper that VIC receive, con.
tains accounts Of the doings Of rabid dogs,
and makes US shudler while we read the
horrible details. In this city there are a
large number Of worthless ours, of all sizes
and species, from the huge mastiff and New
foundland dog, to the diminutive spaniel
and rat terrier. These dogs all have teeth,
and wonld probably soon find way to make
the fact apparent, should they become rabid. .
We would suggest to our friends through.
out the city, that the safest and most eifec-
tual preventive against hydrophobia, will
be to muzz!e the said animals with gentle
dose Of .strychnine. II this does not serve
the purpose, the application Of charge Of
cold lead, elected through an iron tube,
might not be out Of place. It would un.
doubtcdly make them mad for while, but
If tho preventives are judiciously applied.
their mad will bc Of short duration. and
save US the pain Of announcing shocking
