A faw days ago very benevolent dis
posed Yankee lady who had become i'm
PEELED with the belief that everybody born
and raised in Pennsylvania could not read
anything but DUTCH" consequently she
provided herself with q stock of German

Deuchter from sourkrout land. What was
her surprise on calling on one Of our intel
ligent legal gentlemen, hailins from the

NAIL TO RED WlNa.-An effort is being
made to procure the establishment of a daily
mail between Red Wing and this place. At
present We have no direct mail communie:-

of country, and daily stage and mail is ab-.
solutely needed. We shall doubtless have
it soon.-Mantoroille Ezpress.
