Excitement
Quite a little hobub wa, accustomed las
Monday by noise in the streets, occa<ionc,
by two men from the Country, who wcr.
having little quarrel all to themselves
Windows flew up and people rushed into
the street, thinking that the Republican:
were holding another Conven.;oa.'' This
however, was not the case, but, We believe
the quarrel had its origin in the aim ght,
dollar" .
Refreshing. very. ....
We are informed, by gentleman VIII,
took particular pains to find out, that nort
than sixty loads Of wheat were brought t,
Red Wing last Tuesday. The streets wer,
throngcd all day long. with farmers and thei
teams. This was truly refreshing sight
Ills true that prices are low, but it is also ,
fact that the yield Of the crops has beer IN:
usually heavy, and what is lost in price j:
nearly made up in abundance. Large ship
ments are being daily made, though man,
farmers choose to wait for hi cher prices.
That the prices will be higher before rex
harvest, we very much dolbt-at any rate
we do not believe they will advance enough
to re'nunerate the farmer for the trouble O
"holding on" s... ..
A Bad Road.
The old Hay Creek 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 rep
resented. The hills on either side of the
creek, are badly gullied-in some places a
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 tho new road, and
SO rapidly, that lift is continued at the pres.
ent rate ofspeed, it will pc passable in abou,
five years. In its the new road's) present
condition it is unsafe to drive heavily
loaded team across the bottoms. and we do
not believe one could cross after week o,
two Of rainy weather. We hope soon to
see this road in better order, for it is in
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 b looked to, for thu
prosperity Of our city depends in a great
measure, upon our roads, If the roads an
good, the farmers will come to Red Wing
ifnot they will go somewhere else. The,
will go 10 trade where the best roads are.
