FROM LAKE SrPEkfOR.-Mr. VIM. Nettleton, of
Douglas Co., Wisconsin. the Western Lake Su-
perior region-visited US yesterday afternoon.
He left the Lake on Saturday last, and has
consequently made very quick trip, consider
ing the state of the travelling, which he de-
scribes as very bad. He brings no news OF i'm
portance; the ice all disappeared on the tenth,
and several Mackinaw boats had arrived from
below, but no steamers or propellers Coun-
try prosperous,a and miners proving their claim,
on the mineral range near the new settlement.
which promises to come up to their highest an
ticipations. The great complaint is the want
of mail facilities. None whatever are afforded
these enterprisng people who are now laying
the foundation Of great future commercial
mart.
OoNvALEsCENT.--The man who fractured his
neither jaw reading that gunsmith's sign at
the corner ofFifth and jackson street, is slow
ly recovering. He will not be so indiscreet as
to undertake the task again. The name upon
the sign more than dccimatcs the alphabetical
platoon of its consonants. 1t is "Pfcfrle."
10 We see Mr.. Keith, late ofthe St. Charles
House, st. Anthony, in town. 1t is to be hop
ed that he, or some other good landlord, will
take the Sintominc House and open it forth
with.
10 Hon. Robert Smith, of Ills. came up by
the Minnesota Belle. and will stop a few days
among his Minnesota friends. Mr.. S. as usual,
has been at Washington the past winter, lend
ing his influential aid to Minnesota matters
Es- Mr.. Dana White has installed himself
into the hat, cap and gentlemcn's furnishing
business at the old stand Off. N. Spencer on
Third street. People will find it pleasant
and eligible place to trade at.
E.c- The Times states that Capt. Roberts
has sold the Greek Slave to company at Rock
Island, for $4,000. We are not advised as to
what trade she will run in for the future.
