Before daylight on Wednesday
morning, some Of our citizens motto
ed a fire on Minnesota pier at the
entry. Mr.. Thos. Shiels and cnoi-
neer Donovan, Superintendent of the
Government work on the piers, with
all the workmen they could summons
at that hour OF the night, FASTENED
across the bay to extinguish the fire
when they found that the board
shauty, used as an office and store
house for their tools, was burned
down to the top OF the pier. The
flames were soon quenched and nc
damage done TO the pier, but with
the office, number OF tools had
been consumed. The loss to the
Government probably amounts to
two or three hundred dollars. TIE
origin OF the fire is a mystery--some
suppose it the work of an incendia-
ry, but we can conceive ofno object
to be gained, nor do we believe the
pier could be destroyed or even
much damaged by fire.

STATE E1Ecr1ox.-Up to the time of

STATE ELECTIoN.-Up to the time of
going to press we have received nothing
satisfactory as to who is elected State
treasurer. Partisan papers of both sides
claim the victory, while those less so
have but little to say. The majority
either way will not be great, and it will
require the returns from all the parishes
to decide. A NOR important matter
than the State treasuryship was the cOn-
stitutiOnal amendments, which have
been adopted bya considerable majority.
The legislature will be about equally
divided between the two parties, the
Independents holding the balance of
power. Their proclivities are probably
Democratic but, in conduct, in legis-
~lation, they also probably will actfOrthe
good of the whole people, and not for
merely party interests. The Senate con-
sists of thirty-six members, half Of whom
held e and the others have just been
elected. Nearly all who held over r
Republicans; and it is said that ten of
the eighteen newly elected are Republi-
cans-this gives the Republicans a ma
.jority in the Senate. The two branches
Of the legislature being of opposite poll
tics, will be a check on bad legislation.
From present indications it would e
that both parties have elected the same
number of the six congressman.

In every section subject to the visitation of fe-

Foremost among the invigorants, recommended

Whoever have travelled i'll the West or South
