a severe sarcasm on the whole foolish

cows are better in the milk line than in
squirrel hunting.

Opening OF Navigation.


An examination Of our TINES enables
us to report for "a years.
We are all interested in the clearing out
of the ice in the Spring. by the opening
of navigation, we mean the passage
through lake Pepin to st. Paul. This
lake is 200 miles above the City Of
McGregor. 1t is a spread of the Missis-
sippi to an average width of six miles,
and it is 30 miles in length. An immense
sheet of ice forms there, and in current
necessarily sluggish, from the great width
of the river, it is often late before it is
navigablc. The river is "opcn' above it
to St. Paul generally month before
Pcpin yields to the softening influence Of
Spring. Below are the names Of boats
and Captains, and the dates Of St. Paul
arrivals since 1874, except for this spring.
The average "opcning," it will be seen
is the middle Of April, the earliest being

April 10 to 81, the. St. Pauls may expect
to hear from America" by river transit.

We usually expect the river to be fcrri-
able by March Goth at far,hest, but having
no control Of the elements, we can make
no predictions worth betting on.
This navigation matter, years ago. was
very interesting to all the north west, but
tclegraphs and railroads have destroyed
the sensation as the scythc of Time rubs
out all old things. We give the tables as
remembranccs of the past. The Ferry of
'6S was Is days ahead of the average
since 1853. At present, the ice is strong
and the air decidedly wintry but these
go for naught up this way. A few days
of south wind ana warm atmosphere will
send the present corerlet Of the river to a
climate nearly as ,ra,m as we were prom
ised by the old>style preachers of our
boyhood. The heated orthodoxy is pretty
much played, but the river ice must give
way soon to the caloric system formerly so
popular with our grandmothers of both
sexes.
EAsTER.-On Sunday, the 2Sth, comes
Easter. This is the end of Lent; all
those who observe this well-known period,
are released on that day from the abstin-
ence required by the Church authorities;
in European countries, general rejoicing
takes place. We may as we'll have a
little of that most happy demonstration
here. We thought Of writing out our
knowledge (?) of the feasts and fancies of
the churches, both Jewish and Christian,
but the labor is too much. An examina-
ton of Webster's Dictionary will inform
all who arc interested about it.
On Monday, the Goth, there will be q
Waltz Cotillion- Polka Schottische-
Northumberland party at the Cambrian
Hail. This party is not money-making
one. The price of admission is put at the
small sum Of one dollar, so that all can
participate. The General Directors arc
not seeking profit. They want to pay
expenses only. and furnish nights en-
tertainment to those who know how to
enjoy it. Cross grained GROWERS are not
invited.
