The Minnes otian a. an Advertising Medium.
The Daily Minnesotian has larger circula- /
ton than any other daily journal published in
the city of St Paul, and is extending its circu-
lating bounds with arapid increase every week.
Our Weekly circulation will compare favorably
with any other paper published in the Terrific
ry. These facts we state without fear of con-
tradiction.
We are not in the habit of /" drumming up
for custom but as the spring business is about
to open, we feel disposed to call the attention
of our business men, mechanics, and all others
wishing to advertise. to the fact, that the Min
nesotian office is the place for them to transact
their business. We believe we have not arnold
customer on our advertising list who is not sat
isfied that he has obtained more than "value
received for every line he has ever inserted in
our columns; and we intend, if possible, to
make it still better for them the next year.
Our paper circulates among that class of peo-
pie who read and appreciate advertisements.
SHINPLAsTERs.--We understand Messrs. b.
rup & Cakes, have refused to redeem the old
issue of their rags, with specie, and now re-
deem them with currency alone. The new is
sue of fives, is redeemable in currency. Sound
banking, that especially when you are told
that Indiana wild cat money is currency
Democrat of last evening.
This is even so! We predict that here is but
the beginning oftrouble and loss in regard to
this Borup d Cakes shinplaster ':currency."-
We have, time and again, warned the people
not to trust these irresponsible wildcat bank
ers, but our warning has not been needed. Our
citizens appear determined to pay dearly fol
their experience in connection with this mat
ter Well, ifthey will it, so be it!
lSs- The name of Joseph Powers figures il
the police reportsas officially made by the c.tj
Justice last week to the Council. 1t is due tt
Mr. P, who is a quiet and orderly citizen, tt
say that the charge of assault and battery
against him was instituted while in the dis
charge of his duty as police officer, and tina
the case was promptly dismissed by the Jus
tice upon learning the facts.
ns- The last Social Assembly of the season
comes off at the Winslow House this evening
Those who dance will doubtless all be there t.
enjoy the pleasures of the evening.
SIGNS OF STRENGTHENING away of cart
and rubbish are being made about the city, pre-
paratory to building. The lumber for the ex
tensive new hotel at the corner of Jackson ant
Seventh streets, is being rapidly delivered
upon the building site.
i The sound of the hammer is heard upon tn
several steamboats, that have quietly rested a
our landings since the close of the navigation
The Luella and Blackhawk will come on
"gOod as new" as soon as the ice goes out
Both, it will be seen, are advertised for " frs
trips'' up the Minnesota. The Globe, which i:
also being overhauled and repaired, will be Oh
hand early for a voyage in the same direction
Another sign of Minnesota spring is the fact
that the snow and frost are rapidly disappear
ing, and the mails from the South and East are
very uncertain and irregular.
CARVER CoUNTY.-A county Of this name sit
uated on the North side of the Minnesota riv-
err, was established by act of the late Legisla-
ture. 1t is bounded on the east by the new
line of Hennepin county, commencing on the
river at point opposite Shakopee, and on the
west by Sibley county, the county seat of
which latter county is the noted town of Hen
derson, which Councillor Brown has so success
! fully labored to make an important point.
Carver county had three rival points which
manfully contcnded for the honor of her coun-
ty seat, namely Chasca, Carver City and San
Francisco but the latter was successful in
carrying the measure, and is now, of course,
the town of the county. II is eligibly and
pleasantly situated Immediately at that impor-
tant point on the Minnesota known as the
"Little Rapids" and cannot now fail to $50
ahead and become a place of considerable
Importance. We will have more to say of San
Francisco after the opening of navigation.
