the resources of the Territory. We intend to
write up q good Territorial sheet every week
the coming winter, life and health spared. We
(the senior editor) will be absent for the next
two or three weeks on a tour of recreation and
business to the States, whence we hope to re-
turn Refrigerated for the performance of our
duties. Persons who wish to take Minnesota

cannot do better than give us a call at this
time.
IMPR0vEMENrs.-The town is about to be beau
titled by the completion of Mr.. Riheldaffer's
church, near the Capitol, and the Baldwin
School near the Methodist church. Both these
are elegant and tasteful structures of brick
large and well proportioned.
-Winslow's Hotel is now fully enclosed, and
the plastercrs are hard at work inside. 1t
will be ready to open in the spring, and after
that st. Paul will stand upon par with other
cities in the way of first class hotels.
SHERIFF FRIDLEY.-The people of Ramsey
county can congratulate themselves on having
elected Sheriff that will attend to their bust
ness punctually aud faithfully. Mr.. F. has a
handsome majority in the county, showing con-
clusively that he is held in high estimation by
a people among whom he has resided but a short
time. 1t is something to have Wing Sheriff
in strongly Democratic county, and we fully
appreciate the magnanimity of many of our OPP
ponents in thus yielding us this important
point.
- Among all the results of the late election.
we regret none so much as the defeat of Mr..
Tinker for Register of Deeds. Mr.. T. is poor
man with family, and unable, from i'll health,
to work at his trade. Besides, he is one of orr
most peaceablc, moral and upright citizens
and having been deputy in the Office under
Mr.. Wilkinson, is thoroughly qualified to dis
charge the duties of the Office But, unfortu-
nately, in an evil hour for his political pros
poets. in the discharge of what he conceived a
sacred and conscientious duty to the church OF
which he is member, he crossed the path OF
some of our 'moncyed men, through whose in
flucncc the ST. Anthony Mill Company was set
going last Tuesday, to saw him as,lndcr The
work was accomplished most cffectually. We
regret that those who have committed the decd
can reconcile it to themselves as a neighhor-
ly and Christian act. Mr.. Oliver Mr.. Tinker
successful opponent, is qualified fully for the
post, but is, comparatively, rich man, and did
not stand in need of the Office.
| - The Town Council were busy at work, two
or three weeks before the election, improving
sundry principal streets Singular TO state,
since Tuesday last they have
''Iaid down dc shovel and dc hoc,,'
and the rocks and gravel stones of Third

primitive beds as in the days when St. Paul
