= TRUE TALE.-During one Of the warm.
afternoons short time since, merchant
on Washington avenue observed a young
colt lying close to the sidewalk in front Of
his store. So, taking . long straw he
crept noiselessly up and amused himself
tickling the colts ear, to the no little
amusement of numerous lookers-on. a
young man doing business next door, OBJ
serving this little diversion, thought there
was . good opportunity for ':joking the
joker;;' 50 he procured : straw and with
stealthy tread came within reaching dis
lance Of the all-engrossed merchant and
gently inserted the straw III his ear. The
said merchant, without looling around Or
suspecting the double game, continued
touching up the colt with one hand and
striking at the imaginary ely" around his
own head with the other. The lookers-on
controlled themselves for time as well as
possible, but the tableau Of b. in front,
with straw in one hand and the other wab.
bling around his ear, into vhich / straw
was introduced and Withdrawn. BY the
young man behind just % the others hand
raised or fell, was too, much, and, burst
OF laughter revealed to the leader in tho
'.tickling operation the sttuation Of affairs.
We understand thst 10 intends soon retir-
Ing nom his present business, and, IN COM

FINE REslDExcE.-Our fellow-townsman,
Mr.. Joseph Edelbock, has chosen beau
tiful location upon which to erect for him
self residence. Il Is at the foot Of St.
dermsin street, in ine grove Of young
oaks, the plat Of ground-*hsss lsts-run-
ing down 70 the Mississippi, Of which it
aaords splendid view. The house itself
Is Of ''cherry'' brick. the main building
being AZ feet front by 50 feet deep; on the
north side is wing 20by 81, and attached
to that wash house 14by 10. The CELL
ings are elsyen feet down stairs, and ten
feet in the upper stories. s.Z @.,: r: s.sas
The main part will be finished off with
IN observatory, from which can be obtained
IN extensive view Of the surrounding coun-i
try. A cellar eight feet deep, has. been
excavated and walled up under the entire
wing, giving, Is Mr.. E. says, ...plenty Of
room for lager The house will be heated
throughout with hot mir furnace. We
also noticed one Of tho old-fashioned brick
bake ovens-th only one, We believe, in st.
Cloud. The mason work is done, and the
carpenters are engaged in finishing off
the inside, which Mr.. Edelbrock expects
will be ready for occupancy about the first
Of October. This building will be really
On ornament to our town, and We wish
that others Of our moneyed men would
follow Mr.. Edlebrock's example.

VrRx1L1oN GoLD MIN1s.-Mr. &. w.
Sweet, Of our town, arrived from the YER
million Gold Mines on Friday last, where he
has been for tho past six months.
He has been engaged - agent for the
Chicago Company, and has made more
thorough and extensive explorations Of the
Vermilion gold fields than any other per-
son, having examined the country from
Lake Winnibigoshish on the Mississippi to
Vermilion Lake east, and from Lake Supe-
rior to the British line north.
He is quite sanguine in regard to the flu
ture prospects Of quarts mining in the Vi
cinity Of verm,lion Lake, and informs Us
that their company have quarried already
about 600 tons Of quartz, and are now to
king out 10 tons per day He met the ma
ohinery for crushing tho quarts on the St.
Louis river, near the mouth Of East Swan
river and expects it will arrive At Vermil.
ion BY tho 1st Of August. He states that
all Of the old miners from California, Pixies
Peak, Nevada, &c., who have had experi-
snce in mining, are highly pleased with the
veins about Vermilion Lake. But little
has yet been done in the way Of ''guloh"
mining, but gold has been found IN many
places and will probably be found In pay
ing quantities, when tho country has been
thoroughly prospected.
BED SPR1xas.-We have tried the bed
springs Of p. G. Chase's patent, manufac-
tured by R: Reynolds Of this placs. They
are good article and On addition to sne's
comfort in sleeping; and are furnished at
lower price than other springs. The
manufacturer is 80 we'll satisfied Of their
superiority to al other springs in use that
he only asks the community to examine
and try them.-Rochester Post. .~ss.. y
We can heartily endorse every word Of
the above. Messrs. spicer & Carlisle, the
enterprisipg furniture dealers Of this city,
put in set Of these springs for US short
time since, and We now consider them in
dispensable. They are easy, light, Aexi-
BILE and comfortable, embodying all the fine
points of the much more costly spring mat.
trasses. They are furnished quite cheap,
and We can imagine no reason why they
should not be durable. We confidently an
ticipate their coming into general use.-

PETITION FOR UNIVERSAL sur

FsseGE-
The following petition is in circulation,
andis to be presented on there-assembling
of Congress:
To the senate and House Of Representatives;
The undersigned women Of the United
States, respectfully ask an amendment
of the Constitution that shall prohibit
the several States irom dissranchisin9
amy OF their citizens ON the ground oi
sex.
In making our demand for suffrage, we
would call your attention TO the fact that
we represent fifteen million pecple-one
half tile entire population of the country
Intelligent. virtuOus, native born Amer
lean citizens: and ret are we the only
class who stand outside the psle OF polit-
icaI recognition.
The Constitution classes us rs " free
people,n and e0nnts Us as whole persons
in the basis of representation, and yet We
are governed without our consent, COM
PEELED to pay taxes without appeal, and
punished for violations OF law without
choice of Judge or juror.
The experience OF all ages, the Decla-
ration of the Fathers, the statute laws OF
our own day, and the fearful revolution
through which we have just passed. all
prove the uncertain tenure of life, lib
er,y, and property SO long as the ballot
the only weapon of self protection-is
not in the hand of every citizen.
Therefore, rs you are now amending
the Constitution, and, in harmony with
advancing civilization, placing new safe
guards round the individual rights of
four million of emancipated slaves, we
ask that YOU extend the right Of suffrage
lo women-the only remaining class of
disfrauchised citizens-and thus fulfill
your constitutional obligation "tO guar
antee 20 every State in the Union re-
publican form of government
Az ali partial application of republican
principies must ever breed a complies
lion of legislation, as well IS a disconten-
ted people, we whould pray your honor
able body, IN order TO simplify the ma
chinerv of Government and insure de-
nestle tranquility, that you legi5late
hereafter for persons, citizens, tax payers
and not for class or caste.
For Justice and equality your petitioners
viii ever pray.
