Figures.
The Winona Democrat says that there is
now stored in that city 6s,311 bushels Of
wheat. We have taken it upon ourselves
to find out how much wheat has been stored
in Red Wing since the close Of navigation,
and the result Of our inquiries goes to show
that we lead Winona by about $1,000 BUSH
els-the amount now on hand in this city
being about 10000 bushels, and hundreds
Of bushels coming in daily. The absence
Of snow is quite detriment to team:ng.

Good News.
As we intinatcd last week, tho wreck of
the steamer Galena is now nearly high and
dry on the lsvee, thanks to the cxertions Of
Mr.. DIN. Several articles Of furniture have
been found in the hull, together with some
pieces Of money, pistol and a watch.-|
The arrangements are SO perfect that two
horses are enabled to do the labor Of five
huadr,d, and at the rats she is now being
hauled out she will be clear in loss than a
week. In fulfilling his contract, Mr.. Din
has shown himself to be an excellent me-
chanc, and We but reiterate the wishes of
tho whole community when we say that we
hope his labors will be we'll rewarded.
Skating.
The recent thaw has rendered the ice onI
the river so smooth that the young people
are taking advantage Of it, and everything
in the shape Of skate has been called into
requisition, and at all hours If the day the
merry ringing laugh Of the skaters may be
heard as they glide hither and thither over
the smooth polished surface Of the Father
Of Waters" This hsalthfal and delightful
recreation should, We think, claim the At
tention Of all in greater degree than it
now does, and instead of the lean and sal.
low complexion which adorns(?) the faces
OF our youth, the rosy blush Of health would
mantle the cheek, and the doctors would
soon have to leave for other chimes.
Dancing.
The second Of Fraacisco's series of dane.
ing parties, came off At Philleo Hall, on
Wednesday evening Of this week. About
fifteen couples mingled in the festivities, ana
improved the time very pleasantly until IL
O'Clock, when all departed for home, having
enjoyed themselves in such q manner a.
those who did not participate can have no
idea Of We know it is true, that dancing
is decriel by very many persons, but to ::se
= borrowed expression, they arc those who
" would switch grey squirrel for his MIN.
bic antics, and be mad At tho bobolink be-.
cause he don't sing psalms instead Of his
merry. mad roundelay."
Dancing is not only pleasant and agree.
able amusement, but it is also . healthfal
physical recreation: yet. like religion, poll
tics, &C., it may be carried to excess, when.
OF course. instead Of benefittiog, it becomes
injurious. Persons with weak minds will
sometimes become insane on the subject of
religion, and when the fit is on will im.e-
inc that they are the only "elect ;" or on|
politics. and seem to think that tAey are the
only lovers Of liberty, but did you ever hear of
sny ono getting crazy On account Of dancing?
No! and why ? Because no one Of the
senses receives more than its share Of exer-
erc'se, but all are taxed equally -thus keep
jn0 the mind Dnnnerlv h.lonc>d 80
