The Minnesota pioneer. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. Territory) 1849-1855, 1851-11-13


Let us now say, once for al, that the Pionssf
will not advise any particular sort Of tradesn,ep
to come here. Letseycry man be his own Judge,
and take his own chances, upon his own respou
sibiIi,y. as we lave ours. Again, we do NOT pre-
tend to publish, either public or a private price
current Of lands and claims. To inquire the
price Of lands, near any town, is about as indefi-
mite and absurd, as the question we heard Of be-
ing discussed in a debating society, viz: 'Is Eu-
rope jus;ifabIe''
WHEN WILL TRUrH GET his Doors ON!
"A Canadian newspaper, says Of Minnesota,
"New as the Territory is, we already hear Of its

Paul."

A Prophecy VERIFIED-Two years ago
we stated in The Pioneer, that Secretary Smith
had stolen into the Territory, and stolen in the
Territory, and would in the end, steal out Of the
Territory, with whatever p'under he could alb
stract from it,
TO verify this prediction, the old rascal return
ed here from Ohio, on Monday in the night, with
the key Of the safe in his pocket, and went and
burgariously robbed the safe Of its contents, and
on Tuesday night, under a petence of going to
Saltwater, left ST. Paul forever, with every thing
valuable that he could lay his felonivus fingers
upon!
RAIN.-Wednesda night it commenced ia in
ing and poured down copiously all night. Rain
was much needed, and 10 behalf of the people of
Minnesota, we humbly offer especial thanks for
it, to our Heavenly Father.
