CITY GLOBULEs.

The oyster trade is picking up Cool weather
does it.
Sunday in st. Paul is always quiet day, but
yesterday was un usually so. There was little
excitement in any portion of the city, and no
disturbance.
While the moon was obscured by the clouds
last night the city was in utter darkness, and
not the slightest glimmer of gaslight could be
seen in any direction.
The clouds that threatened to deluge this
part of the habitable globe last evening passed
off, and we couldn't get drop to raise the
spirits Of the Mississippi.
wandering tramp approached the city from
the east yesterday, but being informed that
help was wanted on the stone pile, he started
back towards the Wisconsin line.
There are good many stagnant pools in
lower town which, if allowed to stand MANY
days, may breed disease. They ought to have
the attention of the street inspectors.
The September term of the district court,
Judge Wilkin presiding, will begin on Tuesday,
the Oath inst, when the grand jury already
summoned will be sworn and receive their
instructions.

last evening for Eau Claire, where they appear
this evening. The three entertainments of
the company in this city will be long and
pleasantly remembered.
TIE advent OF cooler weather has had a ten
dency to increase the attendance on the
churches, and all the houses of worship yester-
day, both morning and evening, could boast
larger congregations than on any Sabbath for
several months past.
Col. Robt. Filkins, VIM. Dalton, N. Con-
well, James Jordan, Fred Leslie and James
Heaney, of the great 4-Paw show, spent the
Sabbath in st. Paul, having left the company
at Hastings, where it exhibited Saturday. The
gentlemen leave this morning for Faribault,
where the aggregation spreads its tents to-day.
The closing entertainment of the season at
Col Knauffs Lake Como resort yesterday af-
ternoon and last night was q great success.
Large crowds drove out during the afternoon,
| and in the evening the grounds were thronged.
The best OF order prevailed. 1t is estimated
that 5000 persons visited the place during the
day and evening.
II may not be generally known, but it is a
| fact, that the police of st. Paul are constables
at common law in every part of the State of
| Minnesota. They are therefore permitted to
pursue male1actOrS, OF to serve processes
wherever duty calls them. No pent up st.
Paul contracts their powers, but the whole
boundless State Of Minnesota is theirs.
For the thirty-six hours ending at II o'clock
last evening not single arrest has been made
by the police, and the cooler was absolutely de-
serted. This may be thought strange, consid-
ering the habit of the police to drag in every
body of suspicious looks or irregular habits.
| But the truth Of the matter is that all our
people behaved themselves, and the police had
no excuse to pull any body in,
visit to the fair grounds yesterday showed
quiet state of affairs, in marked contrast to
! the situation few days ago. The grounds
have not yet been cleaned and renovated, but
the temporary buildings are rapidly disappear
ing. The dog kennel has entirely vanished
Thurston & Bushnelps building has nearly de.
parted, and dining halls and refreshment
booths, which sprang into existence like magic
have disappeared. A large pile of straw and
refuse was fired last evening. Fortunately nc
wind was blowing or the rubbish might have
| communicated to the fence and stables
