Minnesota Climate.

Nothing on this continent is SO misun-
derstood and misrepresented as the Mime
sofa Climate, Eastern people appear eth
er determined not to beb;ove the facts. or
are quite unable to comprehend the posi-
bility of such weather in this latitude.
Now while the Middle and Western
States are moaning over the destruction of
Millions of Dollars worth of crops by a
June frost they are extending to the great
North West their sympathy in fixed ex-
pectation of hearing that we are all fro
zen.
But we want all the world to take no.
ticc, that up here, eighty miles due North
of St. Paul, we set out tomato plants from
a hot bed on the 18th of May, that two
nights we stuck single in the ground
endwise, beside each one, and leaned it
over to protect them in the event of frost;
and that this is all the protection they
have had, yet they are thrifty, vigorous,
and such green to day, the goth ofJune,
as no one ever saw a Tomato vine in Penn
sylvania. 49, ....-s~.. =.
We also have citron vines, melon vines,
beans and corn that now are growing
beautifully; and our garden is far behind
our neighbors, for it was broken up from
the original prairie and fenced this spring,
The earliest bud that came out on any
tree in this region is growing; and the oak
trees at our door are literally covered with
great, strong shoots from six to fourteen in
ches long Of this years growth.
WE HAVE HAD NO FROST IN
STEARNs COUNTY SINCE THE
FIRST OF MAY WHICH WOULD
HAVE KILLED CORN; but the wind
has been generally from the South, and
East, bringing raw, chill unpleasant Weather
which has prevented the rapid growth Of
corn and delicate vegetables.
The 10Th the sun began shining in reg:
ular Minnesota style, that is sixteen hours
day, every day, and our corn is travelling
upward and onward as only Minnesota corn
knows how to travel ~ 81 -
Old inhabitants here say, that a frost
to injure crops is great rarity. h.

THE RECEPTION AT THE I
Willis HOUSED

Col MOBILES party reached this place on
Friday evening last, and the time being
too short to give extensive notice of a pub
lie reception, G. G. ANDREWS, Esq, and
some other, invited Col. MOBILES and sew
eral Of hia companions to an entertainment
at the "Willis House,"
+ Mr.: WILLIS did ample justice to the
occasion, in table we'll spread with luxu-
ries, after this came the s'feast of reason"
Mr.. ANDREWS, as the presiding officer of
the evening, opened with a very neat
speech on the: importance. of exploring
this North Western route to the Pacific.
and the results that must accrue from the
::;access of the present expedition lie
concluded by toast to ''Our distinguish.
ed guest and pioneer, Col. Mobiles. -: = >.
The Col responded by giving history
of his carly life in Minnesota, the progress
Of settlement &c, He built the first dwell
ling house in St. Paul, was the first black
smith, made the first wagon in minnesota,
and was one Of the first to explore the
region north west Of US, and is still devo-
ting his best energies to the Development
of our youthful State Mr.. WuEELocK,
Editor of the s'Pioneer & Democrat was
called on to speak for St. Paul. He re-
sponded in some humorous remarks, in
which he referred to St. Paul as the head
Of navigation. This called out Col No.
BLEs again, who protested against the idea
Of the head Of navigation being away
down there. St. Paul was not the head
of navigation, St. Anthony was not the
head of navigation, St. Cloud was not the
head Of navigation; but to find the head
of navigation you must 60 on down the
Red River of the North through Lake
Winnipeg, and up the Saskatchewan to
the very foot Of the Rocky Mountains.
Massachusetts, was next represented in
speeches from Messrs. l.. GoRToN and
Hon. T. G. MCCLURE. New York was
call for in speech from Mr.. MANroS
MARBLE, the correspondent of the Owen
ing Post" and of the "Iarper." -:
He modestly declined making speech
as his forte was to talk through the pen.
He wished to say, however, there was .
marked interest being aroused in New
York in reference to the North Western
route to the Pacific, and much depended
on the reports sent back by our party.
MIR. billiard represented Tennessee in
a short speech, J. NJ. MoKELvY was call
ed on to speak for the "0ld Key Stone
He excited laugh by hoping the CORES
pondents present would give good ac-
count Of Minnesota in general and st.
Cloud in particular.
Mr.. MARBLE gave as sentiment, The
Editor of the St. Cloud DEMocRAr."-
COL MOBILES remarked that the lady de-
served credit for her enterprise in publish !
ing her paper.
The evening being we'll spent, the com.
pany after wishing COL MOBILES a success

THE MORNING PRESS.

CPIhlI OF Ih6 LuOIi~'iA'O = A'HoS'
The Union. speaking Of the Boston post Office
SAYS that the measure passed at the late session
prohibiting its removal until after the next
session of Congress was carried ins the Senate
under the erroneous impression, on the part of
Democratic Senators, that its passage was de-
sired by the Department, and that it was put
through the House on the morning of the 4th
Of March under the supposition that it had been
carefully considered in the Senate. The Union
says it understands that the Attorney General
has decided that rs the Office was not entirely
removed until the 5th Of the month, the law,
which is regarded as having passed ON the Sd,
has been violated, and that the postmaster
must remove back to the old site upon the guar
antee being given by the remonstrants as re-
quired by the proviso of the act.
The Union takes the Savannah Republican
to task for misrepresenting the tariff policy of
the Democratic party in alledging that it ad-
vOcates low duties, while it has actually in
creased them to an alarming extent

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

JUDGE CRAWFORD. -InvidiOus newspaper
comments having been made upon Judge Craw-
ford's declensiOn to wave, during the current
trial, the rule of the Criminal Court of this
District, requiring prisoners being tried for
murder to occupy 1.-The dock" while in the
courtroom, we have to remark that his de-
cisiOn on that point met the evident approval
of the counsel of the accused-D E. Sickles.
Their allegation was that so great was the
crowd intervening between them and their
client rs that they could neither see him nor
conveniently communicate with him at all
times, during the trial. To obviate that diff
Guilty, Judge Crawford, though declining to
permit the prisoner to seat himself at the at
tOrney's table, as requested, announced that
he would direct the position of the prisoners
dock in the courtroom to be changed, so as to
be Immediately in the rear of his counsel and
also, that thereafter tho bailiffs Of the Court
should keep space between the prisoner and
his counsel clear, so as to facilitate any neces-
sary communication between them
ApTopOs A Washington dispatch in the
New York Tunes of yesterday afternoon be-
rates Mr.. District Attorney Ould for requiring,
in this trial, that the provision of law making
1t necessary that juror shall be possessed of
property to the amount of $500 above and be-
yOnd his liabilities, be duly observed 1t is
to be presumed that such comments on the
manner in which he is discharging his duty in
this trial will only serve to commend him the
more strongly as public functionary, to those
whose lives and fortunes may be directly af
fected by the manner in which the laws of the
District Of Columbia are executed. No one
doubts that the law requires the juror, in such
case here, to be worth $500 above his debts,
and the District Attorney has no more right to
waive, in this trial, compliance with that pro-
vision Of law, than to waive that which makes
it his duty to indict and try d. f. Sickles for
the crime for which the grand jury presented
him.
