CROWDED UP !--Our business men, one and
all, to whom We owe notices, must excuse us
this week, as we are short Of "help;" only one
kinds Of orders for all kinds Of work We are
compelled to omit many advertisements and
notices which we had promised those who have
just received their spring upplies-including
Tullis, Livingston Co., (fresh groceries at the
Rice House) Jarvis i Co., (fresh stock) Elicit,
(new stock) Hyneman, NEW stock Of clothing)
and many others. Our mercantile friends mast
take the "will for the decd" and our readers
generally mast look over the advertising col
umns for any article they may need. Several
editorials and notices of improvements about
the country, are also crowded ont. We don't
often find it necessary to make apologies, but
on this occasion it must be done. Daily paper
now deemed absolutely necessary, which will
debar all further occasion for; cutting ADVERT
sing and reading matter short.
MAYORS INArGuRAi~-In the Council proceed
ings to-day, will be found the inaugural ad-
dress of his Honor, Mayor Olmsted. With the
views advanced in regard to city measures and
city government gencrally-we might say al
most wholly-we are pleased to have it in our
power to concur. He might have had few
words in regard to the immediate necessity Of
stringent police regulations, to check the riot
Gus excess and debauchery which too frequent
~ d!sgraces our streets, even on the Sabbath
day but as those topics which he does treat
upon are discussed pointedly and fearlessly we
will not find fault with him on this head, Just
yet. One Of the leading recommendations of
the Mayor is, that the further erection of wood
en- buildings be prohibited upon the principal
business streets of the city. This recommends
ton, it strikes us, the Council should lose no
time in carrying out. The arguments put forth
in favor of its adoption by the Mayor, are unan-
swerable and the city can never become safe,
respectable, and really beautiful unit! this reg
ulation is enforced. The borrowing of money
for the purpose of funding the debt contracted
by the late Town Board, and TO improve the
streets and erect public buildings. is another
necessary measure, and the only practical way
| in which justice can be done to creditors and
taxpayers, and the city placed in the position
which she should occupy.
IMMTGRArIoN.-Every boat arriving at st.
Paul is more thronged than its predecessor.
Since our last, the Nominee, War Eagle, DR..
Franklin, Greek Slave. and Excelsior have ar
rived. all filed to overfowing. Our citizens
| uh o hav haan ohcanf q in ofo h
ments. Maj. McCartey and Mr. Newton came
by the War Eagle, and Messrs. Elicit, Tullis.
and Turnbull by the Excelsior.
- The Minnesota river has risen considera-
bly,, and the Humboldt is now extending her
trips to the towns above the Rapids. The Mis-
sissippi has also risen some two or three feet.
DISTINGUISHED AREIvAL.-Ion. J. N. Galle-
gos, Delegate to Congress from New Mexico,
arrived by the War Eagle, in company with his
friend, Maj. Mccarthy, and is passing few days
in admiring the beauties of Minnesota.
OLD AcorANrANcEs.-The DR.. Franklin and
Excelsior have been with us this week-the
former under command Of Capt. Sam. Harlow,
and the latter still in the hands of her old boss
| Capt. Ward. In the midst of their elevated
feelings about the new boats, the St Paul peo-
pie did not forget to give these old farorites
hearty welcome.
The DAY FAMILY.-Dr. J. II. Day returned
from Lake Superior on Sunday last, whittier he
had been on mission, humanely set on foot by
Gov. German, to arrest the ravagcs Of the
smallpox among the Chippewas. We regret
that brief account of his travels was received
too late for publication this week. DR.. David
Day has just graduated with distinguished no.
nors in the medical department of the Pennsyl-
vania University. His thcsis-which treats Of
the practice of medicine among The Indians
has been selected for publication by the profess
sors He will be home in few days. co.
WHIrNEYs ST. PArL.-Wc neglected last
week to refer to the excellent and correct lithO-
graphic view of st. Paul, from Daguerreotype
by Whitney. from the press of Endicott, New
York. The view is taken from Dayton's Bluff
the only place adjacent where full and per-
feet view can be had-and gives Ivy far the best
idea Of Our city that has yet appeared on paper.
Surrounding the main picture are smaller views
of st. Anthony, Fort Smelling, and other noted
scenery in the neighborhood. The engraving
is published by Messrs. Whitney and lie Duo,
at the low price OF one dollar per copy. ANY
one who wishes to have st. Paul as it really
was one year ago, can do nothing so we'll as to
purchase copy.
INPRovEMENT.-Mr. Hyneman has brought
home with him from Philadelphia the plan Of a
large block of brick buildings, which he
proposes to erect on st. Anthony street this
season. 1t is to be of three storics-thc upper
one to be in two halls, the second in one, and
the lower floor to embrace three large stores
There is, as yet, nothing in the city to equal
his design
MINNESOTA T0BAcCo.-Who ever dreamed, two
years ago, that Minnesota would become to-
bacco-growing country? Yet we now have
before US several stalks Of as fine and fully ma
