We recently had the pleasure of ma
king one of party of ten from this VIII
lage who visited Bear Trap and Sucker
lakes in Polk county for the purpose Of
hunting and fithing. The trip was in cv-
nv sense a successful one. We found the
roads better and the country better filed
with settlers than we anticipated. We
had the pleasure of seeing the Identical
American Eagle, about whom so much
viii be said next Monday. He and his
family were stopping at Bear Trap
On our return home We s'pitched our
nightly tent in the village of Huntington
on Apple river. Huntingdon WAS laid
out but little over year ago by the
Messrs. BowRoN. They have a fine grist
mill in operation ana the village has
youthful but H0e appearance.
Coming over to Richmond, on Willow
river, we found McGREGoR doing good
and doubtless making money, by furnish
ing goods TO the people. Richmond is
quite a village, containing store, hotel,
saw-mill, blacksmith shop, &c. Star
Paaili,, on the border of which both these
villages were located, for natural beauty
and fertility, is not surpassed by any part
of ST. Croix Co. Its advantages seem to
be appreciated, for it is rapidly filling up
with settlers, and the number of buildings
on it we should think had doubled in a
year past.

The Crops.-The prospects are
now very cheering for largt harvest in
this section of the state. Wheat and oats
never looked more favorable, and corn
gives promise of a good yield. A few
days since we were conversing with two
gentlemen from Waukesha County, who
assured us that both the wheat and corn
in Pierce and St. Croix Counties was bet
ter than any which they had seen in the
Southern part of the State. If anything
like present prices continua to rule, Ct
which there is good prospect, we may
reasonably anticipate good times in the
fall.

June As we look oat into the rich
ether of this perfect day, we feel Ike pay
ing II tribute to June, and feel unable to
worthilv do it. June is the queen of the
vear-the month of flowers and beauty
month of serenest skies, that fills Us
with sensuous life flowing in upon the
nerves from every point in nature. Low
all the sub.crrancan forces of nature are
at work, silent and unseen. yet putting
forth their marvellous forms Of beauty
How the tree tops spread out their green
awnings. each day gathering denser fui-
ness, while the shadows lay deeper and
richer below, and all around on hill and
valley, the sunlight lies lovingly, Ike the
benediction of God. 1t is sad to think
there are human eyes which can gaze on
all this wondrous scene = this nameless
charm which graces Heaven and Earth,
rs gazes the stupid OK, discerning not the
miracle Of beauty which lies before them.
True, such weather is good for corn and
wheat and potatoes, but this is not all it is
good for, it warns the soul into its rich
est moods of feeling, gives to the senses
their purest bliss. To the young, it is an
embodiment of the poisoning joys OF
their own being, and to the old, grown
tired and sad. it comes like renewal of
their youth. Tken blessing on the be-
nefcent June-the youth-time of the year

ANEcDorE OF THE czAR NICHOLAS.

ANECDOTE OF THE CZAR NICHOLAS.
Among our visitors on this convivial day
were two gentlemonly youths. cadets, from
one Of the several institutions for the military
education Of the sons Of the nobility, the one
to which they belonged supplying mos: Of
the officers Of the guard regiments. The par
ticular corps to which they belonged had for
years been under the immediate surveillance
of the commander in-chief, the Cars youn-
gest brother, Of whom they stood in consd-
erably more awe than they did of the Car.
This feeling extended even to the commonest
soldier aud they tell story which is enjoy
ed by the "younkers" exceedingly, how the
Gar one day met a raw recruit on the Eng
lish quay; the man carried bottle of votka
under his coat, portion Of the neck Of it
protruding from its hiding place. The keen
eye of the Emperor caught sight of it in
twinkling, and touching the soldier on the
shoulder he pointed to the obtruding bottle,
and said hastily "Hide il, my child, hide
it here is the ommander-in-chief Michael
Paulovtch, behind you" The poor fellow,
in his fright, never regarded his Imperial in
formant in any other light than that of a
friend who had warned him from "the wrath
to come, and in the simplicity of his simple
nature, replied "Where shall | hide it,
where, where;" "Into the Neva with it
