Trout FIsHiNa.--We question if there is

Trout FlsuiNa.-We question if there is
any place in America where days sport in
trout fishing yields such grand results, both IS
regards the enjoyment and the number of fi>h
taken, as in the vicinity or within easy drive of
st. Paul To prove the truth of this assertion,
let facts be submitted to candid public
MessIs. Kitlredee, Warren and Galloway, of
this city, started out on Friday morning and
drove to what is known rs Bowles Creek, six
te;r miles from the city, and Notwithstanding
The Gear, tunshiny day, alwsys unfavorable for
taking these shy but royal fish, they caught In
q short time l03 as fine trout as ever pleased
the gaze or tickled the palate of an epicuie,
and reached home before dark. This is no
fish story" but veritable fact and we have
to our own salts faction demonstrated the truth
of it by the trite and unmistakable rule that
THAT the proof of the pudding Is in chew
ing the string" 1t may DO we don't like trout!
Oh, no! We never eat them!

HEAVY SALE OF FURs.-The season for
heavy sales of furs from the frontier is near at
hand, and the first sale we are called upon to
record is that of Mr.. Wakefield from Crow
Wing, who brought down fine lot which
were bid upon by oil the dealers In the city and
finally sold to II. A. Bromley Esq he being
the highest and best bidder. Mr.. Bromley has
been absent from the city for several months,
but returned few days ago, in time to enter
more extensively than ever in his business in
which he has long been one of the heaviest
dealers in the State. Ifanyone can beat Brom-
ley on bid for furs, they will have to set their
figures rather high.

SAD ACCIDENT 8 O'Clock Friday

SAD Acc1DKNr.-About O'Clock Friday
evening sad and fatal accident happened from
q runaway horse. The facts are as follows:
Mrs. Nicholas Brier. living near the Fort road,
and almost opposite Benzberg's Brewery, was
coming into town by way of Summit avenue.
When o little below the residence of Mr.. Geo.
l.. Ois some part of the harness gave way, and
the horse started of at full speed. just after
entering st. Anthony street opposite Major
Cullen's residence, the woman was violently
thrown from the wagon, falling directly on her
head and striking In the stone laid water gutter
beside the street. Dr. McMssters being but .
few wards distant at the time, FASTENED to her
aid in few moments. Several ladies and gen.
tlemen who were also near by assisted In carry
ing the unfortunate woman into the house Of
Mrs Tullis, aud she was made as comfortable
as possible.
Dr.. Willie was on the spot in very few mo-
meats and soon DR.. Stewart also. II soon be-
came manifest that her injuries were fatal, and
In little over On hour che had passed beyond
the things Of earth. We learn that she leaves
fiye email children. She kept garden and
cold vegetables at the market and on the streets;
was an active, energetic and fine looking wo-
man. Her husband is in Captain Mixis con-
papy. of the Independent Battalion of cavalry.

KILLED BY, LaHrNINa.-We learn that
las Saturday during the heavy thunder shower
young woman named Ellen Rome, aged
about nineteen years, living at Lakeville, Da
kota county, was killed by lightning. It seems
her father was at work near the house, aad
when 1t commenced to rain she started out to
carry his coat to him. Shortly after her father
returned 10 the HOUSE, having seen nothing of
her, but had heard her call to him once or
twice. TIER fears were excited and search
was made at once, resulting in finding her
lifeless body not far from the house. having
been instantly killed by Lightning.
