FACTS AND EANCIES.

lack of interest in the reading matter of this
proper cause BY another week matters VIII
come around right side up--aftcr the old fash
ion. Several interesting items which we had
made note of. are necessarily omitted this
week.
THE MINNEsOTIAN OFFICE is now located in
one of the best, if not the very best, buildings
in St. Paul. 1t is of brick, twenty-five feet by
fifty, three stories high, with fire-proOf roof.
1t was erected for Judge ii. \. Lambert by
Edward Stewart, one of the most sklful and
energetic builders we have in Saint Paul
The fnsh--particularly the plastcring, which
was executed by Mr.. Lewis, recently arrived
among us-we have rarely seen cqualled any
where. We are inclined to think VIC have the
best Office above st. Louis.
New PArER.--We have received the first
number of the Hudson Journal. a well appear
ing sheet from our prosperous ncighboring
town on the other side of Lake ST. Croix. 1t

people, and the country" and as such we well

western press. 1t is Democratic in politics
L. b. Shaver, editor and proprietor.
- We understand from Democratic authori-
ty that Mr.. II. NJ. Rice approves the plan of re-
moving the Winncbagocs to Grow river. as
contemplated by Gov. Germans treaty. We
are inclined to doubt this. Nevertheless, as
Mr.. Rice contemplates representing Minnesota
in Congress, it is important that the people
should know how he stands upon this question.
Sioux PAYMENT.-Thc graphic and interest
ing account of the Sioux council and payment
at Red Wood should have reached us two or
three weeks earlier. But old as it is, it cannot
fail to attract the attention of the reader.
DRY LrMBER.-Mr. Bass has gone into the
business extensively ION his own hook See
notice in advertising columns.
How CANE IT We observed that the people
about the Minncsotian Office. from the Editors
and proprictors' down to the devil were ali
getting high on Monday last We have hereto
fore thought the Minnesotian Office was steady
in its halits, and this display of utter disregard
of former associations is therefore matter of
greater surprise.-Pioner.
However high we may get in the world,
ncighbor, we will never be too proud to speak
well of our old associates although some of
them appear to have fallen into desperate bad
company these latter months.
DELEGATE To THE GRAND LODGE OF THE T. S.

the Order in this Territory will doubtless be
benefited by the observation-disclosures
Here too. We were last week so deeply en-
gagged in reflections upon moving ourselves
that we neglected. to think of the movements
of any body else. Mr.. Brunson is not only a
model Odd Fellow, and Il father of the Order
in Minnesota, but also. young as he is. one OF
the fathers of the Territory. Our Grand Lodge
could not have made better selection for its
first Grand Representative.
Pass HIM RoUND!-The notorious scamp al
ludcd to below, two years since was q Journey

good of him while here. His game during his
stay in st. Paul was to deceive and mislcad his
