and Fancy Goods, into the store of Mrs.
Esping, on Main St., next to the new

Wheat is SO cents a bushel in this
city, to-day, (Monday) within four
cents of Chicago and two cents of Mil
waukee. Last week it was one dollar
on the street and ninety-fve cents in
store. The Goedhue County farmer is
getting as much for his wheat as the H.
l;nois farmer who lives within fifty miles
of Chicago and whose land is valued at
a hundred dollars an acre. So long as
things are thus, We see no reason to
complain and are willing to take off cur
hat to the wheat dealer and give the
agent of the transportation Co. a most
hearty hand shake.
The Royal Prussian Band that played
here last week did some fine playing,
but unfortunately the l6 drum perform.
er met with an accident at St. Paul and
did not come to time: and more unfor-
tunately still, the band were afflicted
with a piggish, grasping eimpleton for
Business Manager. Before the Hall
was quarter filled he gave out that all
except the reserved seats were tull.
The fraud was discovered and reported,
and large number refused to submit
to be taken in by 50 transparent a hoax
and went home, and it is believed that
the avaricious manager over-reached
himself and lost more than he gained,
besides creating deal Of bad> feeling.
The band otherwise gave good satisfac-
ton.
The Spring opening at Mrs. Charles
new Millinery Store was the sensation
of last week. Festoons of rich and del
icate fabrics, and ribbons; beautiful ar
tistic and unexpected arrangements of
colors, producing most charming effect
everywhere met the eye. A man,
moth yet most perfect hanging basket
of artificial flowers adorned one of the
large French glass windows, and in the
evening, even from the opposite side Of
the street, the store made most love-
ly picture, which was heightened by
the moving, laughing, happy groups of
elegantly dressed ladies, who were con-
stantly passing in and through the store
to witness the magnificent display.
We do not wonder that parties have
come from St. Paul, to get their wed
ding outfit of Mrs. Charles, and we are
prepared to believe our friends from
there when they say that Mrs. G. has
the most tasteful millinery store in the
Stats.
A suit came on for hearing bcfor e
Justice Graham Of this city, yesterday
which afforded little amusement, to
say the least for, our Cannon Falls
cousins and twelve men good and true
of our city. Miss Filomini Bissonet
having the peace and dignity of the
State Of MINES ota at heart, did, by
and with the aid of her learned Coun-
sci, Col. William Colvi)le, enter COM
plant before Hon. Chris. Graham, J.
P, against one Caleb Peterman, charg-
ing said Caleb with meeting her on a
bridge, not the famous London Bridge,
after dark and making love with pistol
pointed toward her noble brow, latter the
approved modern method, and yet not
pleasing to the fastidious Filomini,
nor in accordance with the pea &c
dignity of Minnesota. The defendant
was brought to time by Constable D.
NJ. Baldwin, jury of twelve men were
called in and the little love scene was
rehearsed by the lovely Filomini, which
was deniedin toto by the noble Caleb, who
proceeded to prove by the mouth Of three
witnesses, an alibi, which is to say that
he was not there but somewhere else,
engaged in more sordid pursuits than
love making. The jury took the case
and Notwithstanding the destinations of
the maiden, found Called not guilty.
The Court footed up the costs and
found that the State of Minnesota was
out of pocket just s6o.32, on account Of
