The purchase ofthe Como Park was a

day it would not bring enough to pay
three years interest that the tax payers

DR.. Stewards house was purchased

twenty five hundred dollars per year,
and it is impossible for me, from all can

luctantly from the city to earn money
elsewhere to send to st. Paul to paw my

During the past year l have visited
Redwing several times, and | became
very favorably impressed with the wise
and judiclous manner in which the city
government was conducted, and eXten-
slye public improvements that have been
made at a much less cost than we have
paid in st. Paul. In that city the people
have no cause to complain from high
taxation and speculation in contracts.

east, Minneapolis on the north, and cities
on the west, in the valley Of the Min.

able condition OF our public affairs, to-

must shortly step down and out of the

OF minds, and another class of men, to re
deem st. Paul from the financial destruc
ton which awaits her.
What say you fellow citizens, shall VIZ
have reform, or shall we have destruc.

While am well satisfied with the eli

when one is compelled to leave the city
on account OF contiscation of his prop

FALL CRY, July 9Th. 1876.
ED. INTELLIGENCER: This WAS the
happiest gathering we ever had out
here, in fact, success in every respect
Crowds Of people from the Lower Sno-
qnslmie came up the day previous and
took up their quarters among the
neighbors near toe picnic grounds. On
the Fourth. all the people from the
prairie and the settlers around the Falls
came to celebrate tho day. At II
o'clock Rufus Stearns. the president of
the day, called the assemblage to order.
Mr. Baxter led in prayer After the
reading OF the Declaration Of indie
pcndence by Mr.. Stearns. owing to the
sudden illness of Rev. Mr. Mcmillan,
the chosen orator Of the day, Justice
Janioke. Of Tolt Precinct. was called
upon TO deliver the Grafton. Messrs.
Royce 4 Stcarns followed, and Mr..
Harrington closed by neat. numerous
speech.
l counted 30 persons on the ground
when the procession was formed, Mr..
Harrington at the head of the column
playing one of those patriotic airs dear
TO the American heart, lead the people
to tables set cut, and supplied in q way
which reflects the highest credit to the
taste and generosity OF the ladies who
had the matter in charge.
A chcir Of ladies and gentlemen filed
the interlude with songs and national
airs. Towards evening the lovers of
the dance repaired to the school house
where dancing was kept up until two
o'clock. Other celebrations. no doubt.
have been more brilliant than ours, but
none more patriotic. j.
