Sup. Walsingham moved the APP
pointmeut of committee of 3 to in
vestigate and report to this Board
whether or not contract had been
made with the Register of Deeds for
compiling and completing of Tract
Index Book for the county. as request
ed by resolution of the County Board
Of 1879, aud whether or not the $500
appropriated by said Board for that
purpose had been paid out as compen-
sation therefor.
The Chairman appointed Sup's
Hutchinson, White aud Murphy as
such committee
On motion of Sup Burnett the
Board took recess of 40 minutes.
In 45 minutes the Board again as
sembled, and the committee to whom
was referred the matter relating to the
appropriation for Tract Index, re-
ported that no contract had been made
tor the making of such Tract Index
and that the money appropriated for
that purpose had not been expended
for such purpose On motion the re-
port was accepted and the committed
| discharged
Sup Walsingham suggested that
this Board make some provision for
the letting of the Court room, it being
frequently used as he had been inform
ed for different purposes without any
compensation to the county; that it
had been customary to leave the Court
room in charge Of the sheriff or JAM
tor and that he thought a reasonable
compensation ought to be charged for
the use oil it when it was being let for
pecuniary purposes and paid into the
County Treasury
Sup. Murphy moved that the sheriff
be requested not to let Court room for
any purposes. Sup. Walsingham
moved an amendment to the motion by
adding that the sheriff be authorized
to let the same, and that the price to
be charged be left to his discretion
and that the SUM charged be paid Into
the County Treasury.
The matter was discussed at some
length when the ayes and nays were
called for and the motion as amended
was carried by ID ayes to 2 nays.

ST. PAUL, March, II, 1851.
EDITORS JOURNALIST. Paul mourns the
loss OF her capitol and the absence OF her law
makers. Exactly how such building got
so nearly consumed that with difficulty its
with legislature in session, before the fire
was observed is an inscrutabie mystery
Twenty minutes more of delay would have
probably involved loss Of life. And yet there
are some so irreverent as to express surprise
that the legislature should ali get out alive,
when the insane people at the st. Peters asyl-
um could not all escape from their domioie.
Even here the fuel question began to have
an unusual interest during the snow block
ade. Some green wood was burned but no
suffering ensued as must have been the case
upon the prairies westward. We have also
paid five cents apiece for eggs,-a few, at re-
tail Among the visitors from your vicinity
is Miss Emily Pratt, OF River Falls, the guest
of F. B. Smith During her stay she kindly
consented to play La Somnambula before the
Lyceum of LIST NJ. L. Church. She was re-
ceived with rapturous applause by that or
ganization which is chary OF strong encores.
We learn that she is likely to have a large
class soon in st. Paul, as she should. She
| is well received by musical people and has
the confidence OF Prof Leib, the leading
teacher OF vocal music and voice cultare.
Shakesperean students were gratifed at the
advent OF the actor, T. w. Keene, at the
Opera House, ON Wednesday evening last,
with Richard Ill on the programme. There
is nothing better than such play interpret
| ed by such man to wean people who think.
and who do not, from the average extempor-
ICED travelling troupes who infest the country.
The mailed warriors and the hateful murder
er seemed to be real and when the Prince OF
| Wales and his brother were dragged from
their mother to be murdered, the tears OF
the audience bore witness to the genius, both
| OF the author and actors. The house was
| full and even the standing room was occu-
pied and that by the best class OF citizens in
| St. Paul.
| NJ. l.. Collins, well known for his pedagog-
ical success in Pierce County, looked over
various schools in this vicinity, including
the State University and the Franklin school,
| St Paul He seemed to be using his eyes,
and ears, aud drawing references as becom-
eth a schoolmaster abroad in pursuit of ideas
1t play interest some OF your readers who de-
sire to "raise cane" that prominent grocery
men here, say that the amber cane syrup is
rapidly driving all other molasses and syrups
from the market. Well it may, for much Of
that stuff sold for sweetenIng purposes is
wholly innocent of any acquaintance with
sugar cane, but not with sulphuric acid
We have hopes, not without reason, that the
| days of large imports OF sugar are past
for many sections OF the Northwest. An
other year will see comparatively little syr-
up besides amber consumed and we hope q
respectable amount of amber cane sugar.

The attention of farmers is particu-
ldrly called to a notice in another col
uran of premiums offered by Freeman
& stephens for the raising of hard
wheat. All the indications now point
Ia n much wider difference in price
Icing made in favor of hard Scotch
Fife wheat than formerly. 1t will
therefore be more of an object to raise
it. Freeman s stephens have some
scotch Fife wheat lett, and parties in
tesested would do well to make imme-
diate application. But where farmers
are determined to SOW some other sort
Messrs. Freeman { Stephens express
themselves as having less objection to
the Blae Stem.
