ST. PAUL AND PACIFIC RAlLRoAD.-We
are informed that since this road was open.
ed for business its receipts have exceeded its
operating expenses, the average number of
passengers being between eighty and ninety
per day. On Saturday the number was
one hundred and twenty-tbree. July and
August are dull months for business and
it was not supposed that the earnings of
the road would amount to much. The fall
business will be large. The Company are
preparing to bring the end of the road to
the levee at st Paul. That being done,
and the st. Anthony terminus being taken
to Front street, near the suspension bridge,
60 as to accommodate the citizens there and
at Minneapolis, both as to passengers, and
grain and lumber, the Company could un
doubtedIy make such showing OF business
as would astonish those who have doubted
the ability of railroads 10 this State to earn
dividends. We understand that $50 cti
zens of st. Anthony have petitioned the
Company to lay their track upon Front
street, while IA have demonstrated. What
the Company will do We are unable to say.

FEMALE SHARPsHOOrER.--Insta are
numerous, in the past and the preeent, as
every one knows, of females having proved
themselves worthy to take front rank in
enterprises of almost every kind. But an
instance occurred yesterday, which, for nov
city. we think, has 10 parallel. A man re.
siding on jackson street, becoming imbued
with the martial spirit, now pervading all
classes of our citizens, thought, truly, that
be was in duty bound to join one of our regi-
ments at present organizing. He so deter.
mined to do, and announced his intention to
bis better half" She replied that if such
was his deter nination, she would accom~
pany him and take up the musket. After
demurring awhile, be finally acquiesced in
her resolve. Being go agreed, they pro.
ceeded to burnish up an old pistol in their
possession, and then set up target in the
rear of their premises, and commenced prac.
ticing. After few rounds, the man
acknowledged hImslt beaten, and was so dis
gusted with the result that he Immediately
proposed that she alone should wear the
regimentals, and be would stay at home. We
understand that she was so eated with her
success that she has announced her intention
to apply for admission into Berdan's Sharp
shooters.

Early in the last year, when civil war seemed
