The Hotel at Lake Elmo il kept right and il
thronged with visitors.
Two DRINKS summed up the simple annals
of the police station yesterday.
The Standard club picnic to Lake Elmo yes
terday occupied four well-flled railroad
coaches, and returned after most enjoyable
season at that popular resort.
The steamer Josie, of the Diamond 10 line,
was in at o'clock yesterday morning, with
two barges of freight, and left on her return
down river at o'clock last evening.
So numerous and attractive were the various
outside resorts of the city yesterday, that the
streets were almost deserted, such pc estrians
as occupied the sidewalks being evident stran-
gers.

The cereal crop in the neighborhood of
Langdon, Washington county, is completely
ripe, and harvesting has commenced. There

degraded by it.

historic Fourth Minnesota volunteer infantry
clearly remembered that yesterday was the
seventeenth anniversary of the fatal Sunday on
| which was fought the first battle of Bulls

the fire originated is an entire mystery as ia
rs known to the occupants, but the destruction
