town on Monday morning, and the spring
term Of the District Court opened on that
day. There is nothing of very special i'm
portance to come before it. The case of
Lowry IS. Lowry has been postponed. The
contest for the upper ferr, was decided in
favor Of Mr.. Wright. DR.. Hageman was
acquitted Of the charge Of having Destroy
cd a promissory note. These We believe
are all the cases worthy of note that have
been attended to so for.
Press that Capt. John Young, who drew
the Cutter around the Falls Of St. Anthony
last season, commenced preparations on
Friday last to move the Enterprise from
above the Falls to below them. The build
ing Of the railroad to St. Cloud kills steam
boating above the Falls. The whistle of
the steamer will be superseded by the
hoarser notes Of the iron horse; yet it will
always be pleasant to remember the days
when the early boats were hailed with joy
and the season Of low water, which laid
them up, met with no welcome.
''PENNr MisE' &c.-At the annual town
meeting it was resolved to pay to whatever
men might be drafted from this township
the sum of $3.50 cash, which they might
either keep and go, or use toward procur.
ing their exemption. This action is emf
nently on the penny wise and pound fool
ish' plan. How much better it would have
been to have, month earlier, offered
bounty of $500 to recruits and thus secur-
ed the men who were enlisted from this
place for Sank Rapids? We might learn q
lesson from our little neighbor across the
river, This action would have saved the
town $500, and at the same time have en-
couraged volunteering instead Of offering
inducements for men to await draft
