In the show windows of Sherwood Hough's
book store are to be seen number of photo
| graphs of portion of St. Paul as it looked
in 1857, from the corner of Wabashaw and
Fourth streets looking north. The city was,
at that time, a Struggling country town. The
old capitol building can be seen in the dis
lance and so can the present Jackson NJ E.
church. Between the corner of Fourth and
| the points named is mostly bowling wilder
| ness with here and there houses scattered
| along on what are now streets. Little frame
buildings occupy the places where are now
built large brick and stone stores. Brush and
swamps alternate all along between.
Information has been received from Charles
Etheridge, formerly citizen of st. Paul, but
now of Arizona. Some years ago Mr.. Ethe-
ridge left st. Paul very suddenly and dscredit-
ably, and from that time to this he has kept
himself out of sight. A few days ago gen
| tleman in st. Paul received letter from a
gentleman in New York making inquiry
about the standing and character of Ether
ldge while residing in this city. Of course
there was but one reply that could be made
| to such an inquiry. The cause of the inquiry
was that Etheridge, who is now in Arizona,
had written to an insurance company in New
York asking to become the agent of the CON-
pany. Before appointing him of course the
company wanted to know something about
him before appointing him.
