The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1852-06-12

M,ssrs. Melvill of the DIR. Franklin,
Girdon of the St. Paul, Pym of the West
Newton, Brooks of the Nominee, and
Dawley of the Golden Era, have kept
our office SO well supplied with papers
this week, that we have had very little
use for mails until just this moment
Friday afternoon we are very
anxious about that Democratic Vice Pres
ilency, and the Platform, before we go
70 press. The Excelsior, old Doctor, or
West Newton ought to come in now, just
to accommodate us.
The St. Paul on her trip up last Mon
dav, started out of Galcna with the
'a-gest passenger list ever carried from
that port to points above. She brought
nearly two hundred to this place.
The Monday packet will have goodly
company of St. Paul folks, going down.
Rev. Mr.. Merrick. of the Episcopal Mis-
sion, we regret TO learn: is compelled to
60 East on account of ill health, and will
leave on Monday. Charles ]. Henniss,
Esq, Collector of the Port, also goes Eas.
upon business of very delicate nature.
May he not faltcr and turn back!
Notwithstanding the wind of Sunday
made some bad work with Stccs' new
building on Third street, all damages were
repaired, and the top brick was laid by
Thursday. A flag is flying there now,
TO denote, we suppose, that the building is
finished. 1t certainly carnot be they
have been drinking anything up atop
there. 1t is fine structure, and adds
much to the appearance Of Third street.
The first court ever held in the new
county of Chisago convened at Taylor )
Falls on Monday last, his Honor, Chief
Justice Fuller presiding. They have an
expeditions way Of doing things up there.
The grand jury were charged and sent
out at nine o'clock the first day. In an
hour or SO they had a chap indicted for
selling liquor. He was Immediately put
upon his trial, and by one o'clock was
tried and convicted. Very little business
was before tie court, and it adjourned
Wednesday. Taylor's Falls is rapidly
growing place, and has the right kind of
population to push it ahead. They take
more newspapers there than at any other
post office on the ST. Croix, save perhaps
Saltwater.
There was a mistake in the Telegraph
ic report, published some time since, that
the bill for the completion of the public
buildings Of Minnesota had been killed in
the House. All cur bills, save the one
granting land tothc ST. Paul and St Louis
river railroad, are in a very favorable
stage to get through Congress. There
has been some very interesting debates
upon these bills, which we would be glad
10 publish had we the space. The cs-
Scncc of what was said has, however,
appeared in the other St. aul papers.
Mr.. Sibley. as usual, stood mp to the
work manfuly, and battlcd his measures
through.
