Coon News FOR OUR MERcHANTs.-The Galena
Jefersonian announces the probability OF the lli-
nois Central Railroad being completed to that
point in September. Should such be the case,
connection could be made at Galena with the boats
and our merchants could then get their goods from
below without the vexation that has hitherto at
tended the transhipment Of their stocks.
WoN'r CONE Observation-Disclosures the fall
of breadstuGs in Europe, prices in this country
still continue good. In our larger cities all
kinds of provisions command good prices, and the
probability is that unless great decline takes
place in Euro; c, our farmers will reap fair re-
ward for their labor.
rT5@It is stated that the Canadian wheat crop
this year will exceed in amount that Of any pre-

snug sum Of $lS,OO0.00O realized from wheat
alone.

our lakes several summer residences, and to bring
their families to Minnesota to spend the summer
months.
That DAILY Mail. A short time ago, the Min
nesotian was positive that we should have daily
mail. 1t had seen some body and it was sure a
daily mail would be forthcoming. The editor must
have been mistaken, for we have scarcely had a
mail twice a week since. Our mail arrangements
are certainly miserable.
THE CRoPs.-Wc learn from gentleman re-
Gently from Cottage Grove that the crops in that
neighborhood are in an excellent condition, and
will produce splendid yield. We learn that the

us, Mr.. Minnesotian, is not John Wilson Wing?
Enlighten us on this subject.
Cg@ Editors suffer dreadfully these days for
the want of late exchanges. No boats arrive-no
murders are committed-in fact, the whole COM
munity are mindins their own business, conse-
quently the papers are dry.
Ey~ We saw water-mclons in our streets yes
terday, and one or two persons pitching into them.

Go" The La Crosse Democrat conveys the in
telligence to its readers that ST. Paul has daily
mail. Such is not only incorrect, but libel upon
us. Our daily mail comes twice per week, and
some times not so often as that.
q There is some excellent land lying between
St. Paul and Lake Superior, not yet entered. Ac-
cording to recent advices from the Land Office,
and the interpretations of those advices, actual
settlers can 60 on lands donated BY Congress for
railroad purposes and after having complied with
the acquisitions of the law. make pre-emptions.-
We hope our exchanges will promulgate this fact,
for as soon as it is known, we expect Minnesota
to increase in population one hundred per cent.
