A STEAMBOAT EXCURSION.

The steamer Henrietta. from St.
Paul, will run up the Minnesota river
to St. Peter next Sunday and Monday,
to carry large party OF eXcursionists
from Henderson and LeSueur to St.
Peter. On Wednesday an excursion
will run from ST. Peter to Henderson
and return. A band of music will &C
company each excursion, and there
will be dancing on board the steamer.
The boat is of light draught, and the
captain has no fears but what there
will be sufficient water in the
channel to float his craft. If the
Minnesota river had the present vol
ume of water at all times, excursion
steamers could run regularly along
the river between this city and st.
Paul.

The trial of Jacob Leonard, of
Nicollet county, took up all of the
time of the United States court to-
day, and was not concluded. The dis
trict attorney decided to bunch the
charges contained in the four indict-
ments found against Leonard in one
case. The indictments contain thirty
one counts in all, and large number
of witnesses from St. Peter and else
where in Nicollet county were eX-
amined on the part of the govern
m ent yesterday afternoon and today
The evidence against Leonard
is very strong, and tends
to show that he unlawfully signed the
names of other people to pension pa
pers although they were not present,
that he certified to their signatures
as notary public although they had
not signed the papers and he had
signed their names in, and that he
had written in matter after the sig
natures had been made, without the
knowledge of the signers.
The government rested this
afternoon, and the defense began
the introduction of testimony. The
defense does not undertake to dis
prove the evidence given on the part
of the government. but rests it's case
on the alleged mental unsoundnesS of
the defendant. Witnesses were put
on to show that Leonard's mental con-
dition is such that he is irresponsible.
He is an old man trembling with age
and palsy, and his appearance lends
strength to the line of defense adopt
ed by his attorneys, Lorin Cray. and G.
r. Davis.
The next case for trial is the $40,
900 personal injury suit of Long VS..
the Omaha road. Long was badly in
jured year or so ago, and claims
that it was through the negligence of
the road.
The present case lis the last of the
criminal cases to be tried at this
term. There arets two or three civil
cases that will keep the court in ses-
sion good part of next week.
Deputy U. S. Marshall Sheehan
took Geo. Richie back to

THE NEW DIRECTORY.
1t is One of the nOst Complete Ever
rlade of the City.

Representative of r. l.. Polk
g. Co., of ST. Paul, were in sthe
city yesterday and today deliver.
ing the new city directory. The
book is fine one and by all odds the
most complete directory ever gotten
out of Mankato. The directory OF
Mankato city contains 1885 names,
excluding all firm names, corporations
and Implications. This number
multiplied by p, which the directory
people use as conservatively correct,
gives the city a population of l2,462,
which is doubtless about correct. in
the Blue Earth county portion of the
book there are 6,981 names, taking
only the heads of families, and the
multiple used is 81 and gives the
county population of 22,6SS outside
of the city, or total of 30, $50 for the
entire county. ..-
Besides this information as to
names, the directory contains full
list of all the corporations in the
county with a full list of the officers,
also list of the banks, churches,
schools, societies and various organi-
cations in the county, together with a
list of the city, county, and state Off
GERS, etc. Taken altogether, it is a
most valuable book, and has been
most carefully compiled,
