PETIT JURY.
NEWS OF OUR OWN STATE.

The Anoka Republican says Mr.. Dwight
Woodbury. Informs us that he has received
letter from Mr.. Rice, who is in New
York, stating that Mr.. Litchfield, jr.,
would be in St. Paul the first of May, to
resume work upon the road, and that it
will be prosecuted with vigor until it
reaches Anoka.
THE Anoka Republican gives the fol-
lowing account of a death by poison in
that county:
Mr.. AlonzO Cook, who came to this place
from Meeker county last fall, on account of the
Indian disturbances, and who had just rented
Mr.. Isaac Kimball's farm, died on Monday, I'M
der the following circumstances: He had been
blowing during the day, and upon returning to
the house at night, complained of feeling bad
ly, attributing his indispositiOn to eating wild
artichoke, which he picked up while blowing.
He drank cup of tea and stepped into anOth-
er apartment, when he fell to the floor in a
spasm, and died in about forty minutes. We
understand it is the opinion of the physicians
who examined the body, that his death was
caused by eating will parsnip which he mis-
took for on artichoke. The deceased leaves a
wife and child.
Rev. HORACE HILLS, Jr has moved to
Saltwater and taken charge of the Epis-
copal Parish at that place. His health
has been almost entirely restored by his
residence in this State, and he has con-
nected himself permanently with the Do
cese of Minnesota.

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR. regret Il

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.-We regret to
state that fine boy aged ten years, the only
son of George w. Prescott, Esq, serving on
Gen. Sibley's Staff, met with sad accident on
Wednesday, which resulted in his death on
Thursday morning. 1t appears that the poor
little fellow went out hunting, and when, in
the vicinity of Dayton's Bluff, was attacked by
number of boys who endeayored to get his
gun from him, and in resisting the attack was
struck in the temple by one of them with
stone. He went home and stated what had oc-
Cured, but no alarm was excited in the minds
of his parents fer some time after. He how
ever sunk rapidly, and physician was sent for.
In spite, however, of medical skill he died on
Thursday forenoon. The physician in attend
ance gave it as his opinion that death was caus-
ed be conclusion of the brain. The funeral
took place from the residence of his parents on
yesterday afternoon.

FIRE.-A fire broke out on Thursday
night in a'two story dwelling house on Fort
street, owned and occupied by Mr.. Esch, a
German shoemaker having store on st. An
thony street. The building was totally de-
stroyed, but the greater part of the furniture
was saved. We have not been able to ascer-
tain the origin of the fire. Mr. Esch estimates
his loss at 81 900. There was an insurance on
the building in the Piscataqua Insurance Com
pany for 5000. The Hook and Ladder Com
pany was the only apparatus belonging to the
Fire Department on the ground.

FIRE IN ST.. ANTHoNY.-A destructive
fire broke out in St. Anthony on yester-
day. We have been furnished by our cor
respondent at that point with the following
particulars:
Sr. ANTHONY, April 49, 1868.
Editors Pioneer A fire broke out in this city
about 3 O'Clock P. NJ. Of to-day, and consumed
the house and barn of Samuel Lawrence, Esq,
house and barn of Amos Stiles, barn of B. f.
Hidreth, and also of s. Shaw. Mr. Lawrences
house was a well finished structure, costing
about 5000, insured for $500 in the Home In
surance Company. Mr.. Stiles was insured for
$3.50 in the Phoenix Insurance Company 1t
was with great effort that the residences of
Messrs. Shaw, Dow and others, and the Presby-
terian Church were saved
The origin of the fire is unknown. 1t was
first discovered between the barns of Messrs
Lawrence and Hildreth, firing them simulta-
neously. As coincidence, 1 will state, that an
insurance agent and other parties were in the
act OF taking the dimensions and survey of Mr.
Hildreths buildings preparatory to making an
insurance, when the fire was discovered.
Yours, ST.. ANTHONY.

the wife of Mr.. George Knowles of Beaver,
Wisconsin, fell overheard and was drowned.
Mrs. K. had been in very ill health for some

rapidly, her husband was sent for and ar

were returning when the occurrence men,
toned took place. The lady was too weak
to accompany her husband to the table at
the supper hour, and remained in her state
room while he went out. Upon his return
he found the state room vacant, and in
quiry for bis wife soon elected the fact,

had fallen into the Lake. 1t was too late,
however to make any effort to save her.
Mrs. Knowles was about thirty years of
age and was woman of much intelligence.
Her body was not recovered.
