OBSERVANCE The 22d instant, WASH
inston's birthday, was suitably observed
BY those of our citizens who were aware
that any preparations had been made. No
notice was given Of an intention to observe
the day in any special manner until in the
afternoon, and then but imperfectly. Quite
. number, however, assembled at the Sem
mary in the evening. Leander Gorton,
Esq, was called to the chair, upon taking
which he made few suitable remarks.
He was followed by DR.. W. r. Hunter

MoNoNoALIA CouNrY.-Mr. Samuel
Holes Informs US that the farmers in this
young county are in the most prosperous
condition. They have thousands ofbush-
els Of grain stored away, plenty Of good
stock, comfortable houses, large barns and
stables (some containing thirty tons of
hay) and fes, perfectly independent. 1t
sdjoins Stearns county on the Southwest.
DEclDED.-The case Of Tenvoorde as
Proctor was decided this week by Judge
Vsuderburgh in favor Of the plaintiff. 1t
will be remembered that last Fall, when
these two gentleman were candidates for
the Trcasurership, the polls at Maine Prai.
RE were opened before the hour prescribed
by law, in order to allow number of
Capt. 1nman's Company to vote before 60
ing to Fort Smelling to join their regiment.
Thele was no intention Of frauJ-the men
who thus voted were, and for years had
been, legal voters in that precinct; but
hey wished to reach Fort Smelling at a
certain time and to do this had to start
early on the morning Of election. Still
they did not wish to be deprived of their
vote-the result was the polls were OPEN
ed at seven o'clock or before. Mr.. Proc
tor received the largest number Of votes,
end obtained his certificate Of election.
But Mr.. Tenvoorde learning the facts
above stated contested the case, and. as it
appears, has succeeded There is no doubt
but that Jud 90 Vanderburgh's decision
is perfectly in accordance with the law on
this point yet it appears hard that these
men offering themselves to their country,
should be deprived Of their elective fran
chise, merely for little irregularity in
the manner Of voting. ... s:.
BETTER SUCCESS We noted last week
Z an accident that happened to Mr.. Craw-
ford's house while being moved from Sank
Rapids to this place. On Saturday he
had second brought over in like MN
ner, but with perfect success. ~"
REcRu1rs.-On Friday last Alex. Kin
kead, Al. White6eld and six others from
the Alexandria and Kandotta country oas-
sed through cur city, en- route for Fort
Smelling, to join the Minnesota I'd Bat
tory forming at that place. ,.." g..
