CHANGE OF TRAIAs.-Assistant Superin-
tendent Rice, of tho st. Paul and Pacific
Railroad, informs Us that tho Company e.
poets to put two daily trains on the road
from this place to St. Paul on Monday
next. If the time table can be prepared by
that day, tho change will be made then, or
as soon thereafter as possible. One exclu.
sively passenger train will be run, starting
from here about seven O'Clock in tho morn
ing, and reaching St. Paul in three hours
and half. Leaving that city late in the
afternoon, it will return in the same time.
This will give parties from this place
about five hours in St. Paul for the trans
action of business-a great improvement
over previous years, VIII en- about all man
had time to do was to cat his dinner, which
was generally voted to be scarcely pay
ing operation. The other train will be Q
mixed passenger and freight.
A note just received from superintendent
Rice states thai the new time card will not
60 into effect until Monday, April Goth.
RIVER OPEN.-On Saturday last the Ice
in the Mississippi river made start, and
on the following day, Sabbath, April l4th,
raoved out entirely, leaving clear river.
The ice was very solid, bavin G been honey
combed scarcely at all. The breakup was
caused by a rise in the river above. No
damage was done at this place except to
the new railroad bridge.
A solid field Of ice, several acres in ex-
tent, struck the east and center piers,
knocking three stones from the ''nose" Of
the former, and one from the latter. The
mortar had not yet thoroughly set. The
damage will be fully repaired by TONER
row or next day.
The following table will show the dates
at which the ice has gone out during the
past thirteen years. It vii! be seen that
this year was little later than the aver.
