The RUSSIA party of Pixies Peakers

returned to Chicago, state that, by accu-
rate count and record, they met 5,488 teams
on the road between Fort Kearney and
Omaha City, making total of 1888 teams
on the road, and all going west. They say
it looked like village the whole way, from
the number of teams and people. As each
team was attended by from four to ten per.
sons, there must have been thirty thousand

A PARTY of emigrants came through the
city yesterday bound for Stearns county.
Notwithstanding the terrible grasshopper
plague, few years ago upon this county,
in consequence of which some families were
compelled to leave it temporarily, we have
found, by inquiries of emigrants, that a
large portion of those passing through this
city were going to make settlements there.

STATE AGRICULTURAL FA1R.-The Gem
trail Committee of the State Agricultural
Society met at the Capitol Thursday
morning.
The committee on premium lists reported
progress, and the meeting adjourned until
July 10th, when the lists of premiums will
be completed and laid before the Central
Committee, who will then proceed to view
the Fort and grounds so as to make the ne
cessary arrangements for the approaching
Fair. At this meeting the editorial
corps of st. Anthony, Minneapolis, and the
neighborhood have promised to be present,
and the President requests the favor of the
company of editors of st. Paul and other
parts of the State.
We hope our editorial brethren will en-.
deavor to arouse the people of their respec-
tive sections of the State to the Importance
of contributing, as far as they are able, in
all the products of the soil, the dairy, and
live stock, to make this Annual Fair what
it should be, q credit to the State.
Distinguished friends of Agriculture from
other States are expected to honor the &C.
CASTOR with their presence, and every Min
nesotian should feel an interest in making
as favorable an impression as possible on
their minds, of the unparalleled resources
of the State, and the enterprise and public
spirit of its inhabitants.
The Hennepin local Society is expected
to forego their Annual Fair, and make the
State Exhibition tell the story of their ag-
ricultural wealth. Much is expected also of
the Farmers of the Minnesota Valley, from
the eligible point, for them, where the Fair
is to be held, and we hope they will be in
cited to make large contributions, and to a
large attendance.

METEOROLOGICAL NOTES FOR JUNE 1861
June has proved a satisfactory month for
Minnesota. Its character was all that
could be desired for the husbandman, rain
and sunshine being mingled in proportions
that could hardly have been better adjusted
by the most pervese grumbler against wea>
ther. As result on every side, an unpre-
cedented harvest Of every kind, is promised
to the agriculturist. 1t may be noted for
future reference, that green peas were in
market on the 9th, and new potatoes on the
18th ult., while the strawberry season
seems to have reached its height at day as
early as in New York.
Observations of the thermometer give
these results

Rain fell On eleven days to the amount of

There were thirteen clear days.
Winds came about equally from all points
of the compass.
A comet of considerable proportion was
observed first on the evening of the Goth,
about 50 above the horizon, with a tail of
l50, and in direction nearly N. N. w.
No announcement had been given of its
coming, and we are therefore in ignorance
of its name, and period.

The period of English history embraced in the pres
ent volume extends from the time of the ancient
BritoDs 10 the reign of Henry VII The work consists
Of series Of essays the most significant events in
the Brith annals, without aiming a, the unity or the
completeness of continuous narrative. Less profound
than Hallam ard Lees speculative than Guizo the au
thor presents the results Of his inquiries in popular
style, and to the tastes of the majority Ct reaiers VIII
doubtless prove more attractive than either OF the
above named historians. OF the topics discussed at
length in this volume the various relations of the Nor
man conquest the development of industrial and intel
lecual lie 10 England, and the dawn of the Reforma-
ton, will be found to possess remarkable interest.
