REAL EsrATE-There has been steady ad
vance in she price of Real Estate in ST. Antho-
ny aud vicinity, since the opening OF the sea
son, without The slightest tendency to spccula-
ting prices, or an unhealthy tone in the mar
kct. The average rise in value of Real Estate
the past six months we estimate at from quar-
ter to one third. Judge Gamble, Chief Justice
of Missouri. has recently purchased two lots
on Second St. on the bluii, back of Col. Spoon
cr's for building site, as we understand. price
$1,000.
SWEET PorAroEs.-Why do not some of our
enterprising merchants, bring upa supply of
this delicious esculent. We have not seen a
bushc in the Territory the present season.
We understand however, that several of our
farmers have them OF very good quality and
large size.
ToDAcco-We think it is now conclusivcly
established, that Minnesota can produce as
good tobacco a. any Northern State, if not i'll
deed, fully equal To that raised in Virginia }.
Ii. Stevens, Esq and MIR. lIoag both exhibited
very fine specimens, III the late Fair, OF their
own raising, without any extraordinary care OF
cultivation. Many farmers i'll New \ ork and

TIE Ef-I.EyE.--Wc have been shown a let

ncpin Co.. from an officer in the General Land
OlliCe, III answer to the course now To be pur-
sued in relation to the sale of the Reserve
The letter stated that the lands would be again
advertised for three months before IL sale could
be had but nothing was said is 10 Whcn such
advertisement would take place.
The writer states as Il Reason for the sales
not having taken place at the time advertised.
that il had been impossible for the Department
to have the maps aud Instructions in readiness
for the sale. The explanation seems to us iarrum
satisfactorily. IL; it Guild appear that nearly a
year should be sufficient to prepare maps Tor

the order of sale. We trust soon TO see anotll-
cr order issued. and that the settlers will oh
tain their lands before spring.
The ADMINISTRATIONS. The rc:ult of the re-

ana has developed one of the most astounding
and complete changes Of public sentiment. in
regard to the policy of an Administration. that
