EMIGRATION TO M1NNEsoTA.-The La
Crosse Republican notices the emigration of
farmers from the eastern and central coun.
ties of Wisconsin to Minnesota, and says the
emigrants appear to be substantial thrift
ty class of men who take with them valu-
able outfits. All of them have good teams,
considerable stock, large families and fat
babies. We noticed one party from JEFF
ferson county few days ago bound for
Minnesota with forty or fifty head of fine
cattle, and dozen splendid horses, mares
and colts-the total value of the establish

"prairie schooner" arranged with all the
comforts of home on wheels, drawn by
three yoke of large cattle, at the head OF

With all Difference to our eastern friends,
we take much pleasure in saying that Min

BODY OF WIN. G. GRAY FOUND AT LAST

BoDY OF WIN. G. GRAY Found AT LAST.
Friday morning Mr.. N. j. Herrick,
Deputy Coroner of this County, received a
letter from Mr.. J. B. Hoyt, of Red Rock,
stating that he had found body in the
Mississippi river resembling the description
given of VIM. @. Gray, and asking him to
60 down to that place and hold an inquest.
The Coroner accordingly went down, and
the evidence showed that the body was found
at ten o'clock Sunday morning-that it was
floating face downwards--and that the flesh
had almost entirely disappeared from the
body.
The dress was blue coat with brass
buttons, and doeskin pants-original color
of vest could not be determined.
A mass of papers were found in pulpy
condition, among them were bank bills,
drafts, Minnesota and Pacific Railroad
bond, and dunning letter from gentle
man who boarded Gray's horse. A small
amount of silver change was found, safe,
Office and other keys. These articles were
all deposited with Mayor Prince.
The evidence was conclusive that the
body was that of VIM. G. Gray, and a
verdict rendered in accordance Herewith.
The body was buried at Red Rock.
Gray jumped from the bridge the 10th
of November last, and has therefore been in
the water about seven months.

IT may be a solace to those who CON-
plain of hard times here to know that trav-
ellers- say that st. Paul is the liveliest
place on the Mississippi river. If any one
is disposed to grumble let him visit any
other place in the State, and when he
comes in sight of st. Paul from river or
bluff, on his return, be will realize that it is
not only the State Capital, but the centre
of its business.

POLICE CouRT.-Margaret Thompson, a
big black woman, weighing over two hum
dred pounds, and fat enough to grease a
wagon wheel, with her shadow, made COM
plant against James Burns, lean darkey,
weighing about Is pounds, for an assault.
She told the Judge che was all the while
beatin' on me-he beat me agin last night,
an can't stan it no longer, any how. l
don't want to do muffin wild him, but I
don't want to be beat in dis way"
The Judge asked James if he was guilty
or not guilty, and James said:
"Square, I asked Margaret for dollar
and hat, and she wouldn't give me but
dollar. I gets mad, and goes off and comes
back agin putty soon. She commenced
running on wild her tongue, and I tole her
to hush up. She KEEP her tongue runnin',
an haul off an smash her over de head
wild an umbarell."
The Judge said, "Did it break 2"
James" Break what ?"
Judge" Her head ?"
James" No; broke de umbarell."
Judge" shall fine you for this five
dollars and costs, which will be seven dol
lars and half"
James then turned to Margaret and said,
" Shan't beat ye any more shan't has nuf-
fin to do wild ye no mo-"
Judge" Officer, take James below"
Officer" Margaret, you can 60 now !;
you have got divorce"
So Margaret left the court room, and,
meeting James on the stairs, on his way to
"durance vile," she clasped him in her
arms, almost crushing him, and exclaimed
in tragic accents, james, James, can't
stan dis no longer" and then hauled out a
we'll loaded purse, and said, Here, officer,
is your seven dollars and half" which the
officer took, and James and Margaret went
on their way rejoicing.

ST. ANTHONY AND MINNEAPOLIS.
FROM oua OWN REPORTER.

FROM ouR OWN REPORTER.
FIRE.-A small wooden tenement occu.
pied by Mr.. Munson, in st. Anthony, was
totally consumed by FIRE last week. The
fire originated in the roof, from project
ing stove pipe. The family of Mr.. Munson
were at dinner, and the first indications
they had of the FIRE, was the crash from the
falling chimney. They had barely time to
escape. This makes the third time Mr..
Munson has been burned out. No one can
entertain the idea that Mr.. Muuson is
lucky man.
ANorHER.-On last Thursday night the
dwelling house of Mr.. Andrew Bradley,
situated back of the St. Charles, was set on
fire and wholly consumed. It was valued
at $1,000, and insured for $500 in the
Etna, of Hartford. This insurance was
effected by the mortgage, consequently Mr..
Bradley derives no pecuniary benefit from
the insurance. 1t was with great difficulty
that the family were removed. Mr.. Brad~
dley was absent from home at the time of
the Ere. Strong suspicious are afoat as to
who the incendiary is. We hope to hear of
his speedy capture and we'll merited pun
ishment melted out to him.
AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-The Annual Fair
of the Hennepin County Agricultural So
oiety will be held at st. Anthony on the
18th, 18th and 18th of September.
The officers of the Society are Asa Keith,
Richfeld, President; John Murray, Mime
apolis, Secretary; r. j. Mendenhall, Min

Irwin, Richfeld, Charles Hoag, Minneapo-
lis, R. B. B. Gibson, Bloomington, Execu~
tive Committee.
Exhibitors are required to become men,
bers of the Society before having any arti-
Gle or animal entered for exhibition. The
price of admission to membership is fifty
cents. The price of tickets to the Fair will
be fifteen cents.
Any person desiring information on the
subject, will please make application to the
Secretary, John Murray, Esq, and he will
furnish free of cost the printed circular,
containing the classification and the names
of those composing the several committees.
AS there seems to be some likelihood that
there will be no State Fair held this year,
our County Fairs as interesting as possible.
