We Inadvertently omitted in our last. 10 notice
the lecture Of r. S. Schuyler, Esq. His subject
nas &" The Mind and lis Culture and though he
had but shor, time 70 prepare fo- the occasion.
j; was e~ideni that the Lecturer has not been an
idle spectator OF men and things, but that his
mind had been active, treasarins up the fruit. Of
study and reflection.
On Wednesday evening last, Dr. WILDER lec;uT,
Cd upon Science" and his was truly scientific
lecture" That the Doctor has read much and
thought more" is very evident, and his lecture
was he fruit Of deep study and search into the
mysteries Of science. He dealt largely in meta
physics and logic and advanced some ideas which
may not meet response from al his hearers. ye;
;hsy canno; fail TO acknow Ledge that ne treated
h.s SUBJECT with more than tyros hand.
We have neither time, space, nor inclination
TO review the lectures. We may hear sentiments
advanced which we cannot fGIly endorse, we find
much food for reflection, and doubt not all may De
teneh.sd by attending Inc course.
This, "wednesday evening" J H. Clary, Esq 4,
viii lecture upon the subject of History
IMPROVEMENTS ABoUr TowS-During the
past year there have been more permanent i'm
provemenis in the shape OF buildings, made in
Mineral Point, than ia any previous year since
our residence in the pace. Among the most
prominent are those Of Messrs Thomas & Co,
the store of John Milton on High street and the
store and warehouse Of G. W. Cobb, on Com
MERGE street Each Of these building 81 Of stone,
three stories high, and built in The most perma-
nent manner. That OF Thomas {, Co is forty by
sixty feet, calculated for two stores on the gronud
floor, with spacious rooms for Offices &c in
the second and third stories. john Millions is 100
feet deep, the first and portion of the upper
stories occupied by himself Store and Iron
depot, and we have doubt IS one OF the best
store buildings in the State. On the second aoor
are tie Offices OF y B Boyden, Esq, and Dunn &,
Reed, Fsqrs The third IS occupied By oursei.,
ard is fine room for Printing office as can De
found Mr. Cobbs building is 10 by II feet,
fire proof ard one Of the best buildings for tae
purposes for which il was intended, in the west.

truly evidences of enterprise and prosperity. A
large number OF other buildings, (so:2e sixty or
seventv> have been erected during the past year
and still il is with the utmost difficulty, that 4
new conner can find a house room that IS not
already occupied Another season we trust wi
witness sui gaea,sr number of permanent
Buildings in M.nera! Point. Many more are
needed, and a good Hotel suited TO the increasing
wants Of the place, appears 10 us indispensable
No better chance for safe and profitable invest
nent OF money can be found than IN the erection
OF good Hotel in this town.
