HorELs- Winslow House.-This building
is ons of the principal ornaments to st. Paul,
and its erection and completion has added very
materially to the rise of property in the upper
part of our city. 1t is built Of brick, in the mod
ern STYLE of architecture, is five stories high, and
contains $50 rooms. A cupola surmounts it,
from which the stranger can get fair view OF
our city and the surrounding scenery. We learn
that it is to be opened in July next, and kept in
the very best style. The expense Of erecting,
completing and furnishing it will be not far from
$5O,OOO.
Sintominee House.-Qndian dialect, signifying
ssHome for all Nations.'') This hotel has been
erected in beautiful portion Of St. Paul-is
large and commodious, and cannot fail to attract
visitors with their families who desire to spend
several weeks or months among US, enjoy
ing our climate, and diving deep into the luxuries
of fishing, hunting, &c. The proprietors are now
negotiating with gentleman from Peru, ILL.,, to
open it as soon as arrangements can be perfected.
1t cost $4,000, and can accommodate several
hundred persons.
american Housc.-Upwards Of $1,000 has been
expended during tho past winter in renovating
this house and putting it in complete order. The
Messrs. Long spare no pains to make the visits Of
their customers comfortable, and they are realiz
ing, as they justly deserve, full recompense.
The Central House is always full, and if it was
twice as large as tits, We believe it would then
be full. If we are not mistaken, it is the oldest
hotel but one in St. Paul. Thomas Burton, Pro-
prietor.
The Smelling House has recently changed
hands, and in future, we learn, will be kept in
apple pie ORDER" Hiram Cheesebro, Propri-
etor.

connected with the Episcopal Church, and occu-
pies delightful situation.
There are two District Schools and two Catho-
lie Schools--one for boys and ono for girls
Beside these there are several private schools,
combining far better system of education than
is usually found in so new country as Mime
sofa. We are emphatically reading community,
and no pains are spared to give our children the
very best advantages for thorough and practi-
cal knowledge Of books. The emigrant then need
have no fears Of his children running wild for the
want Of proper means to educate them.

PoPuLArIoN-very near 5000.
The amount of capital invested which appears
in print is $9l2, 500. The amount moi in print,
but upon which reasonable estimate has been
put, is $l62,OO making total of 81, or, 800
invested in business in st. Paul in the spring of
1854, being $3.50 500 more than in the fall of
1853. We feel confident that few, if any, over
estimates have been made, and that our article il
true exhibit of the financial condition of our
city. 1t is certainly gratifying to us to record
such tangible evidences Of our growth, and We
trust our next article which will be taken in the
fall, will exhibit a still greater increase.
