the land bill makes every Lady worth 800 acres,
if taken before December next, you will be quite
safe in believing that Oregon viii soon be without

Our people will be delighted TO hear that Miss
Coates, lecturer on various physiological, pschy-
Geological, and anatomical subjects, now at Saint
Anthony, is expected to lecture in Saint Paul. II
