Ur, the LnEe.

On Thursday last about go of our cit
liens formed party to visit the Dalles OF
the St. Croix and view the beautiful
scenery that surrounds the village of
Taylors Falls at the head of navigation.
The swift and well appointed steamer
Wym@p x had the honor to convey the
party. [She must have done it for the
honor, as it could not have been for the
pay she received The Dalles were
reached Friday morning, at time when
the beauties of the scenery showed forth
in all their glory. The river at this point
is not more than $50 or 200 feet wide,
and is held in its course by grand old
walls of natures solid masonry, which
reached high above the smokestacks of
our steamer as we moved along and
almost shut from view the morning sun
light. Huge columns Of weather. beaten
rocks, immense gorges and crevices and
peaks-all with a crown work of richest
foliage through which glanced the laugh
ing sunbeams, formed picture worthy
the study of an artist or the pen Of Bay
ard Taylor.
Disseminating at the landing, a visit
was made to the falls about half mile
above the town. There is nothing, at
first sight, particularly sublime about
these fails; but to view the grand mass
of water, as it pours over the precipice
and goes madly rushing down the rapids,
breaking into foam against the rocks and
tossing about huge logs like feathers in
the wind, calls up feeling very akin to
awe, and an acknowledgement of the
mightiness of natures forces.
A good, substantial dinner at the
Chisago House, and visit to the natural
wells below the town, completed the
pleasures of the day on shore. These
Wells are WOHu0Ilul aui aLuiehSI IbOAPii-
cable. Some are said to be forty and
fifty feet in depth. For the elements thus
to have worn these cayaties into the solid
rock, it must have required countless
ages of time,
Music, dancing aud social intercourse
aused the homeward ride to pass quickly
and pleasantly. And though some were
weared by the length of the trip, none,
we think, regretted the exertion required
to make it.
We are requested to return thanks
to the good natured and obliging master
of the lyman X, Capt. FULsoM. and
also to the jolly pilot, Mr.. SEAvEY, for
many little kindnesses rendered the party.
They are both gentlemanly and agreea
bic in their manners, and will retain for
the boat its already widespread popular
ity.
We found CHAs. w. FULsoM-
he of the Reporter to his elbows IN
business at the printing office, making
up forms and preparing his paper for
press. We hope to meet CHARLEY

Our city representatives did good
thing last week by resolving to have a
city Marshal. Scenes have been enacted
daily on or streets, which were shame
full and unbecoming a city whose preten
sions are morality and good order. DIFF
ferent things may be expected under the
"new dlspensation."
1t was also a sound enactment that
provided for the appropriation of $1,000
for grading Orange street and building
sewer to protect the work after it is done.
Let all improvements made by the city
be of substantial and enduring char
acter. and though particular localities
may not seem to be benefited at the
time, yet it will only require a few years
to show the wisdom of such a policy, re-
sultiug in the general good to the cor
poration.
