October in better condition than
when they started in June. Not
over dozen animals were lost
through death or estraying.
The feeling against the negroes
took violent form in this city Thurs
day, when the shanty and household
effects of Mr.. Hawkins, an in
offensive and Industrious colored
man, were totally destroyed by an
Infatuated mob.
The mortal remains of Little Six
and Medicine Bottle are by this time
being dissected in medical hospital
in Philadelphia. Soon after the
execution the bodies were removed
from the collins and in their places
were put stones of about the same
weight. They were then hurried
down to a drug store in the city,
packed in alcohol and shipped east.
In the meanwhile the collins, with
the supposed remains were deposited
with all due formality and solemnity
in the post cemetery. Along about
midnight after the burial the guard
was startled by seeing two sable
forms stealing towards the cemetery.
They shrewdly guessed them to be
doctors after the redskins remains.
Deciding upon having some sport,
they loaded their guns with blank
cartridges, gave a fiendish yell and
fired their muskets. The doctors
(who were from St. Paul. were last
seen making quick time down the
bluff, where they had a boat con-
cealed.
That period known in the east as
the lecture and theatrical season,
but in Minnesota only as winter, has
at length set in. Several months Of
long, cherries nights are before us.
How are we going to spend them?
During the winter season the people
Of St. Paul are shut out from the
rest of the world and are compelled
to rely upon their own resources for
amusements. An icy barrier sepa-
rates us from the more favored
sections by which we are deprived
of the literary and musical treats of
civilization " Lecture associations
exist in all cities accessible by rail
roads. But because we cannot have
Beecher, or Phillips, or Cough, or
Anna Dickinson, it is no reason why
we cannot have lectures. We have
a. good order of talent in our midst,
which, if brought into requisition, a
course of lectures both interesting
and profitable could be had. A
number of literary gentlemen readily
occur in our mind, whom the people
would be delighted to hear on special
topics, such as Ireland, Noble,
IO'Brien, Patterson, Markoe and
others.

Thanksgiving day (the first Thurs
day in December) was generally
observed by the closing down of
business houses and we'll attended
services in several of the churches.
The feature of the afternoon was
the great crowd skating on the river.
/ Standing on the bridge one could
see the gray-haired sire, the blush
ing damsel, all the more bewitching
for the ruby tint that Boreae had
imprinted on her cheek, and boys
and girls of all grades down to the
liliputian size, all enjoying the fine
exercise and drinking in the health
giving ozone of Minnesota
