much better facilities for buying in that market
than in New York. The only difficulty with the
Bostonians is, that they have not yet got their
promised transportation line into full operation
and consequently their goods do not reach here
as soon as those from New York.

now before us from the same grounds, prove

the fact that the grape can be cultivated in
Minnesota with entire success.
REMARKABLE EFFECT OF ADvERrIsING.-One
of our citizens lost note for a considerable
amount few days since, and by merely writ
ing out an advertisement, and bringing it into
the MinnesOtian once, he found his property

ADVERTISING LIrERATURE.-One of the City

popular drug stores 'Veaux Tonquc,' which
being translated can mean nothing else than
Tonic CalUes another journal informs its
readers that the same druggist has 'ChcvauX
ronque,' Tonic Horses, for sale. We presume
they all wish to arrive at Chcveux Tongue,

horses or horned cattle, or the calves of horned
cattle.

TIE RECIrROcITY TREATY.-Thc Montreal
Herald anticipates no opposition from any of
the Colonial Parliaments to the ratification of
this treaty. That paper says there can be no
doubt of the assent of Canada, and that the OPP
position in New Brunswick will not be serious,
while Nova Scotia and Prince Edwards will
hail the arrangements with pleasure. New
foundland has but little to do with the provi-
sions of the treaty, but she can avail herself of
them, if her legislature SO decide. Her assent
however, is not necessary for the perfection of
the treaty. In the benefits of the tr, atty. tho
Herald enumcrates the exchange of coal. That
of Nova Scotia will find its way to Eastern
ports, and that of Ohio will be carried into Ca
NADIA. That paper anticipates likewise still
more intimate intercourse as the wants Of each
community become known to the other. The
present treaty was not so much measure
planned by the Governments of the two coun-
tries, as it was produced by the absolute wants
of the inhabitants. A still farther knowledge
of these wants will break down other barriers.
