ERETT's lecture. We say Mrs. Sw1ssHEIM
devotes that amount of space in her paper,
but the article has certain ear-marks, by
which we learn that it was the production
of one of her devoted friends and admirers
in St. Paul. There is scarcely word of
commentator for the lecture, but many at
tempts to ridcule the eloquent author. She
Tor hey says of Mr.. EvERErTs appearance {:
In personal apps arance he is tall, and well
advanced towards corpulence SO that he wears
we'll thrown back and the chronological de.
velopments of the forehead would make one
wonder how he has achieved the reputation
! he has. The face is large in proportion to the
head and slopes slightly backward from the
| point of the nose. There is a want of firm.
| ness and concentration in every feature. AL.
| though his appearance is characteristic of the
man who ''never originated an idea, or put an
| old thought into new Frame"
She Tor hey then finds fault with the
Press for saying that Mr.. EvERErr's address
was superior to any ever delivered in this
State, and speaks of addresses delivered in
st. Cloud by GALUsHA A. GRow and Lieut..
Gov. DoNNELLY, as being considerably
better in manner and matter. "She then
adds:
| The people of St. Paul have right to feel
indignant, if among all the really great men
who have visited their city and spoken pub
| licly, none have ever given them anything
better than that lecture. If we lived in St.
Paul and felt that it was so, we should forth.
| with address circular to Messrs. Seward,
Schurz, Hale, Trumbull, Doolittle, Clay, Col.
fax, &C., requesting them never to come back.
We are decidedly of opinion that there are one
| hundred men who live in this State who could
write as good lecture and deliver it as we'll,
and that Saskatchewan" Taylor is one of
| the hundred.
We think the above will answer, to show
how hate and prejudice can warp Judgment
and taste.
Mrs. SwIssHELM pays high compliment
to the Masonic address of our friend 4. B.
CURRY, Esq. She publishes it in full and
says "the manner of delivery was impres,
sive, rising in many passages to iervid elc-.
quence."
CAR1Boo. Davis and others have
received news of the Cariboo party from
this place, dated at Fort Garry, June 9Th.
They report good health and a successful
trip thus far, but Mr.. Davis writes that
they were informed that it would require
four months to make the trip from Fort
Garry to the Cariboo diggings.--&. Peter

OUR citizens will be glad TO know that
Lieut.. w. w. Woodbury. has been pro-
NOTED to a Captaincy in this company,
Second Minnesota Regiment. Capt. Wood
bury deserved this position long ago, as he
had command of the company at Mill
Spring, and has had ever since..-St. An,
thong Nea0s.
We have had in this locality during the
past week several delightful showers of rain
which have been very acceptable to cur
farmers, as in some particular sections of
the State rain was much needed. We still
continue to hear the most fiatteriDg accounts
of the growing crops. Rye is almost ready
for the reaper. Haying will commence
within few days there is large crop of
grass and our farmers should not permit a
blade to be lost.
The heaviest shower of rain ever witness
ed 10 this region, fell on Thursday night
last, doing some damage and an immense
deal of good. The race.way of the Non
pareil FIGURING Mill was damaged consld-
| erably, which, however, will soon be re-
paired. Our worthy friend Strattord, the
brick maker, also lost about 10000 unburnt
brick, which is to him no small lOss.-Ctat>
field Democrat.
The Carver Transcript says: "The crops
hereabouts, of all kinds, are looking mag
ni6cently. Wheat never looked better. We
notice, too that good many farmers are
trying small pieces of winter wheat, and in
every case it is doing very we'll. In fact it
looks better than we saw the same kind of
wheat looking at the East. Corn, oats,
rye, barley, potatoes, etc., are all doing
finely, and the prospects are for good crops
all round"
Mr.. GODFREY SHEITLIN, OF Minneapolis,
has shipped direct from this point, via New
York, to Shanghai, China, several hundred
tons of prepared Ginseng. 1t is clarified
and packed in sealed tin boxes. Perhaps

TIE Rochester (Olmstsad Coz Republic
licam, in speaking of the Homestead
Bill, says The effects of the bene6cent
measures of this Bill are already notice
able. Of the great caravan of immigrants
that are daily and hourly seen in our streets,
great share are pushing on to find gov.
eminent land to settle and make themselves
homes. The great share of those who are
taking the full benefit of the provisions of
this bill are Germans and Norwegians,
nearly all of them having good teams,
stock of cattle and money. They will
make excellent Pioneers and contribute
largely to the material wealth and prosper
ity Of our State.

Come from every nation, come from every
way.
