CHvRcH BELLs.-There j. u large new bell, |
very fiuc one, Just received and hung up in the
rear of the Catholic Seminafy--a present from
Loais Roberts. There are now four good bells
in ST. Paul. and another coming for the Baptist
Church. We havesso,ne good church begga~ in
ST. Paul;. and our town has rung in pretty well
upon the liberaii,y Of donors, the pas, year. Our
atmosphere is Just right, to make the ringing Of
church bells musical The Catholic bell is hung
upon four posts, {the erection Of the befry being
for the present, thus post-poned) II rings much
louder for being sear the ground. The four bells
make Tegulur gamut Of tones-the lowest note
being the Catholic, next above, the Methodist.
next the Presbyterian, next the Episcopalan. II
the Bapis, bell should weigh 500 pounds, it will
go TO the bottom Of The scale, which being eked
GU, with the Mission bell and the little Catholic
bell al the old church, will give us quite gamut.

is an original, we msy say, a remarkable man,
whose progress is every where heralded by the
press, when he journeys; and wl,hal he is as

The Rev. Mr.. RiheldafFer, missionary of the
o. S. General Assembly of the Presby terian
, Church, has taken up his residence at St. Paul
with the view Of gathering Second Presbyterian
Congregation. We are requested to give notice

fully invited to attend.
We learn that there was nothing done at tn.

Complimentary Dinner to Gov. Ramsey
and Alex. Wiii,iD, Esq, Secretary o.
the Territory.
: Two events concurred to make appropriate u
| this time. public demonstration with knife an.
e fork, in our Territory. One was, the removal o
e u notoriousiy Infamous, from the Office o

: III his place; The other was, the return Of his Ex
o celency, Gov. Ramsey and suit, half furnished
: from prolracted camp service ever since tn
last Of June, to negotiate not less than three i'm
: portant treaties--a service Of much hardship an,
of weighty moment TO the interests of MINES ota
? The dinner was therefore well timed. The Gov
q, ernor was hungry from the treaty, and it is 10 b
f., presumed that the new Secretary, yet fresh il
A office, was also hungry; and so the dinner wa
d prepared by Mr.. Parker, at the American House
/, las, Monday. At eigh, o'clock P. NJ, about 10
i gentlemen, Wings and Democrats, sat down o
e the entertainment and helped themselves.
