TAXATION IN MISNEsoTA.-It appears to be
a settled fact, that the railroad managers
contemplate as coon as possible laying u
State tax on the people of Minnesota for the
especial purpose of meeting the interest on
the Railroad State Bonds. The Pioneer on
Friday and Saturday last seems to argue its
proprie,y very ccgently.
The Pioneer alleges that the people and
property Of Minnesota can bear tax OF
'ten times $4,000 or tax that will yield
$500, o00-a tax entirely for the benefit OF
the railroad managers.
Perhaps they ::can. But it did not orig

MASQUERADE AT DuBUaUE.-From
the Herald OF Tuesday we clip the
following account of masked ball held
at Dubuque
This affair went off New Years eve,
and as was anticipated, there was
great rush of people-part OF whom
we're disguised by masks and fancy
dresses. Others By hoops and such other
fashionable apparel as the times afford.
There was an immense deal Of fun on
m. occasion. The circle outside OF
the promenaders, was denseIy packed
with First families" fifth families, fam
lies with pretentions to this or that
numerical grade, Dutchmen, ioaiers,
quiet citizens, and in short, representa-.
tlves from every portion OF the social
concern.
Ia the circle went trooping ne
croes, Yankees, Indians, Shepherdesscs,
Knights, Barons, Shoemakers, Rag
Pickers, and characters Of every posi-
bic variety.
Among those who attracted unlver-
sal admiration for their tastefuness,
were the queen of Night" an Amerl-
can Indian, Cupid, and one or two 9th
ers OF the same sort. About ] o'clock
the assembly unmarked, and fell to the
work o. dancing, which continued with
long enough Intermlssion for an excel
lent supper, till daylight. That there
was some enjoyment on the occasion,
may be inferred from the fact that
twenty empty lager beer casks were
ranged on the sidewalk the next
morning.
The Fancy Dress Ball at Sanford's
Hall, was, AS we hear well attended by
a brilliant company.

The Hon. W. T. Miller, Judge, will

OF tie term, when he will exchange
with Judge Dillon OF the Scott Comfy
District in order to dispose of the
various cases in hich those gentlemen

SAYS that in that county there Is tlity

McGREGoR.-Th McGregor Times,
Of Dec. 23th, says workmen are now
/ employed cutting "A steamboat channel
from North MeGrcgor to upper Pralrie
du Chen via a slough which extends
, almost direct from town to town. 1t
is sad that 600 yards Of cutting will
turn the east channel to the Iowa side
and that the river will wash out a
steamboat track sufficient for boats in
the lowest water.
