We were. yesterday morning, informed by an
old citizen, residing near Shakopee, and one
who has had ample opportunity ofascertaining
the sentiments of the settlers. that since they

them to safely so on with their improvements,

The telegraph on Friday announced the
sudden death of the amiablc daughter of En-
President Fillmore, and to-day we hear the
news of the death of his brother, Charles ID.
Fillmore, at ST. Panl, Minnesota. About

met by an upward bound boat, having Charles
ID. Fillmore on board, and the two boats round

! to meet for moment. This interview was
probably their last. Within few weeks the
daughter and brother are gone;-both stricken
