SHAKorEr.-In another column will be found a
statement of the business and improvements in this
nourishins town. Our readers, in making Compare
son between the business and population of Shake
pee and that Of New York, PhiladeIp hia, Boston,
&c., will please remember that at the opening of
nav igation last spring, the Sioux Chief, Shakopce,
with his band, occupied the site Of the present town
as we'll as the surrounding country. 1t is a town of
some eight months growth but is rather lge of its
age. The modesty of our correspondent, (who being
a lawyer is supposed to be modest man, has in
duced him to withhold some important items. Shak.
opee boast the largest, convenient and COM
Portable Hotel the side Of the Mississippi
above Davenport, in Iowa, and landlord that cam
be beat here. The buildings erected in Shake
make Ear better appearance than in the generality Of
n,~ towns. The site Of Shakopee isby far the most
beautiful Of any the Minnesota, Henderson not cx-
cepted, and the surrounding country is eqral in ert
ity of soil TO any in Minnesota. There is an album
dance Of water and Of excellent timber, and no where
on the Prairie back of Shakopec can be found those
sloughs, marshes or meodo,os, which poison the at.
mosphere OF the praries OF Illinois, Iowa and Wis
consin.
There are many large farms already opened in the
vicinity Of Shakopce, and during the next summer
we have no doubt that most, if all the land with
in ten or fifteen miles of the town will be occupied
for the purpose Of agriculture.
Shakopee is the county scat of Scott County, and
in addition to the rich agricultural country South Of
the Minnesota, it will command the trade of an ex-
tensive and rich agricultural country north OF that
river, which is being rnpdIy settled by population
of substantial farmers
