hhNNEooiA AiNEh DOSlNESS.--AG one time
since our last issue, four boats were up the Min
nesota. They were all destined for the high
est points of navigation yet reached The
Shenandoah left Fort Smelling on Monday,
with large freight and heavy barge in tow
for the new Fort. The Black Hawk returned
from the fort on Thursday. She reports the
water falling, but still twenty feet in the chan
mel above the mouth of the Blue Earth On the
Little Rapids she found eight feet The rains
of Wednesday and Thursday have probably
| checked the fall Of water. The work at the
new Fort israpidly progressing. The Commits
sary's and Quartermaster's storehouses are up
and ready for receiving the stores. The Tiger,
Clarion and Shenandoah, are still above, the
two former destined for the New Agency. The
Black Hawk left last evening with heavy
freight for the Upper Minnesota.
The Greek Slave departed for Traverse
des Sioux, on Thursday, having on board his
Excellency, Gov. German who we understand
intends taking the Black Hawk on his further
journey up to the Agency. The Slave had also
a heavy freight for the Traverse and intermedi-
ate points.
A LARGE FREIGHT.-The Asia arrived Wcdnes-
| day night with freight that would astonish
those who profess to believe that no business is
done in st. Paul. AS one item she discharged
at our landings 3199 sacks of grain. Her larg-
est freight bills were against j. W. Bass & Co.,
and Tyson 4 Co. She also discharged freight
on her way up at Quincy, Pontoosac, Dallas,
Burlington, Muscatine, Davenport, Keithsburg,
Albany Savanna, Galena, Dubuque, Gutten-
bursh, Clayton City, Prairie du Chen, Lansing,
Wild Cat Bluffs, La Crosse, Hammond's Land
ing, Nelson's Landing, Prescott and Saltwater
1t Gov. Medill, of Ohio is now on a visit
to Minnesota. Since his soiOurn here he has
been promoted to full Governorshp by the APP
pointment of Gov. Wood as Consul to VaIpa-
raise. Sam. Medary, of the same State, goes
out as full Minister to the Gillian Government.
and of course resides in the same city where
Gov. Wood holds forth simply as commercial
agent. This appears to be a sort of kangaroo
arrangemcnt-but it's no affair of ours
- VIM. n. Person is now opening Grocery
establishment in the new building adjoining the
upper New York Bazaar. Give will CALL
Advertisement next week.

Iron Foundry, and will carry on the business.
- People who come to new country these
days OF railroading, scarcely ever carry their
housekeeping utensils with them; and about the
first thing they stand in need of after they get
here is a cOok-stovc. Those who have never
had an appetite for substantial inner comforts
in all their lives, will feel one coming over them
the moment they breathe the bracng air of
Minnesota. Then they will want stove to do
their cooking, and upon taking up the Mime
sotian will directly discover that Bycrs on
Roberts street, has precisely the article they
want.
- We learn q man was shot at Wabasha
Prairie on Tuesday in claim quarrel. We

of the act, and has gone down to attend to his
clients case.
- Stees & Hunt have plenty of all kinds of
Furniture, from the finest to the plainest which
will save our citizens undergoing the economi-
cal (over the left!O process of sending below for
such articles as they may need. Their notice
as Undertakers is also worthy the attention OF
those whose sad fate it is to need articles in this
branch Of business.
Our old friend, V. 3. Barnum, has opened a

| PRESERVATION OF FisH-A bill for the pre-
servation of trout has been referred in the Con-
necticut Legislature to a committee. the chair
man of which is Mr.. Fish. We should not think
the trout would brook it.-Chicago Journal.
That reminds us our trout brook has become,
since Winslow's mill was built, no account,
damned stream for all purposes of former years
sport. Nevertheless they contrivc to have
sumptuous trout suppers at Hawley's-thc
spotted little gentry being daily hooked and
brought fresh all the way from Bowles' Creek.
