came up on Monday noon, having left
Galena on the Thursday previous. We
mention this circumstance, to contradict
the report, currently circulated, that this
boat layin Lake Pepin all winter, in order
to get here early in the spring. When
we first saw her, we thought she had a
menagerie on board, but subsequently it
proved to be new livery stable which is
about starting business in this place.
After resting about two days, this boat
started up the Minnesota Enormously,
in many Of the maps, called St. Peters
river, with many citizens and strangers
on board. She is going to LIE Sueur,
Traverse des Sioux, Mankato sand all
along Shore" And now as there are
many who have arrived here since this
boat departed, we hope they will stay a
few days till she returns, for we assure
them they cannot get fair view of the
elephant" till they have had glimpse of
the Tiger.

specimen sheet of the Dakota Lexicon,
now being printed in New York City un-

stitute at Washington. 1t is printed on
excellent paper, in pages about the size
of Webster's Quarto Dictionary, and its
typographical appearance is both neat and
perspicuous.

One of the deck hands on the Nominee,
was seriously injured by getting into the

1t is source of remark. by the stran-
gers in town, especially those who came
from the Sucker and Hoosier states, what
vigorous and healthful appearance our
citizens present. We do not know Of
a single case of sickness in town, and the
doctors make bitter complaints Of the
hardness of the times.
Jackson street is to be graded from
Fifth street to the Levee, cutting it down
about ten feet where it crosses Third.
and cutting it down and raising up Fourth
street where they cross each other, SO as
to do without bridge, and the Council

Third and Fourth streets will be opened
through to SiJley street, and made an
easy grade.

bic. We can recommend him to our St.
Paul neighbors as first rate artist and
good fellow. May luck attend him.
