DON'T FORGET THE LADIES' ENTERTAINMENT AT
THE CRY HALL -TO-NIGHT.-Of course all the
young gents will be there as all the young la
dies will. Ofcourse all the married folks will
be there, as the finest kind of a supper will be
served up, and a fine Band of Music will be in
attendance. Accommodations are provided for
everybody, and this is probably the last enter
tainment of the kind for the season. 80
10 LosT.-Some one, in great haste no doubt,
proceeded to take from lady's package in No.
ls, st. Charles House, ST. Anthony, on Tues
day evening last, an otter fur T" ear muff1er, -
which the owner would be thankful to have re-
turned to him at the Minnesotian Office. or left
at some place where he can be put in posses
sion of the lost property. y 49,, ~ -, -
CHEAP BULDINGs.--We would call especial
attention to the advertisements of Mr.. Jas. F.
jackson, who has located among us as an ar
chitect and builder. 1t will be seen that he is
prepared to erect the new style of concrete
walls, which are now coming so extensively
into use at the East, and for cheapness, dura-
billty and beauty are likely to supercede all
other dwelling-house structures.

FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2s, 1855



The House proceedings Of yesterday, it will
be seen. are quite important. The memorial
praying Congress to aaaul the charter of the
M. and N. W. R. R. Co., was before the House,
and the motion of Mr.. Sibley to commit the
memorial to the Judiciary committee scas lost
on tie uote. This was test vote on the me-
mortal; and we are now fully persuaded that
the memorial cannot pass the House In the
Council it has much less strength even than in
the House. -..
Mr.. Hanson introduced his bill to amend the
charter, which received its first and second
readings This bill is favorably received by
members who were not expected heretofore to
be disposed to regard it with any favor what
ever. ."~@t+e -.-I- .-# 5
In this connection, we would call attention
to the Gard of Hon. Joseph Lemay. He can
never suffer, however, from calumniating
tongues so long as he has almost unanimous
constituency to back him in his course. ~

who start up every day in city like this, and fill

the selection of remedy in these cases.
The Fluid Extract Buchu has been pronounced
by eminent physicians the greatest remedy ever
known 1t is medicine perfectly pleasant in its
taste, and very innocent in its action, and yet SO
thorough that it annihates every particle of rank
and poisonous virus of this dreadful disease; and,
unlike other remedies, does not dry up the disease
in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by self
abuse, most terrible disease which has brought
thousands of the human race to untimely graves,
thus blasting the brilliant hopes of parents, and
bightingin i'll the bud the glorious ambition of many
a noble youth. can be cured by this IntalIible
Remedy. And as medicine which must benefit
everybody, from the simply delicate to the confined
despairng invalid, no equal is to be found acting
both as Cure and preventive.
