STARVATION AT ST. CRoIx FALLS. -
On Tuesday last St. Croix Falls was
thrown into great excitement by the
conduct of certain Norwegians, who were
in condition Of absolute starvation.-
They made demand upon the local
agent of the Great European and Amer
lean Land Emigration Company. for
wages and money alleged to be due
them for labor performed, &C., which he
was unable to grant. The Norwegians
then took possession Of The company
office, and held the agent prisoner. A
sufficient posse could not be mustered to
rescue him, ard at last, to place bis life
out of jeopardy, he so far succumbed as
in measure to accede to their wishes.
After being prisoner from morning
until night, he was released. The Unit
ed States Land Office was in the same
building, and such was the alarm that
the funds were removed to a place Of
safety. Taglor's Falls Reporter.

CELEsrIAL.-We came across the follow
ing Is one Of cur exchanges which is a base
born, undetermined attempt TO wrest from Us
the glory of one of the greatest astronomica
discoveries of the age. 1t emauates from
the Cincinnati Gazette, and is an apt Illus
tration of the Jealousy that ever char8eterizes
the conduct Of eastern scientific men in
reference to the achievements and discover
les OF those of the west. The reputation OF
of Mr. Lingle for scientific Attachments and
ripe erudition in CELESTIAL matters can not
be affected hereabouts by anything the
Cincinnati Gazette may choose to say. Here
is the article
"Qulte sensational report ia making the
Journalistic circuit, to the effect that al
amateur astronomer of Rock Island, Ill.,,
Lingle by name, has discovered a hitherto
unknown planetary member OF our solar
system. 1t WAS seen, according to the
sta tement, some four weeks ago, when Mr..
Lingle was watching Jupiter. 1t appeared
about four degrees to the right of the planet,
presenting disc as large az mars, which,
when closely observed, was found to be
crescentric, an indication that ii is within
our solar systdm, or between the earth and
the sun
1t Is little surprising that, among SO
many assronomers,ama and professional
as we have in the United States, Mr.. Lingle
- the only one who IS the news, and Rock
is'aho the only place from which the start
mug stranger was discovered. And this
especiaiiy as, just at the time when this
olscoVery was made, nearly all the telescopes
Vi Sn.s eohl,heht were turned to the very
quarter OF the heavens where il made ;ts
appearance, ior the purpose of examining
the ancient planet Mercury, then visible 70
the naked eye, and, from its somswhs,
peculiar relations to the sun and ear,h
unusual facilities for observation
