effect those obects.''
The same paper adds: eve observe with
pleasure that preparations are making IN various
parts of the burnt district to commence building at

cross streets from Locust to Plum to be wdened to
a suitable width; Commercial street to be opened
and declared public highway; that the alley be-
tween Main and Second streets, from Locust to

MrSEsoTA.--That is fast getting to be a great
country, or rather, people are fast finding out
that it Is So They are going thifher in families,
troops and caravans, and the Minnesota trail bids

cd up into cabins, and stores, and sheds, and
houses, fresh from tho saw-mill, since the
last sun shone--it looks just as st, Louis did
within our remembrance, when the terminating
principle Of Yankee enterprise was first infused
into il. As for wages, why at St. Paul as every
where else, the employer hires as cheap as posi-
bic, and the laborcr gets all he can--being an
amount probably bearing some proportion TO the
amount performed. Any man who is really in
earnest about 4, except grave digger, can find
