Summer Excursion "Trip to 81. A,athDny's Falls,
in Minnescta- Railroad Rides-1He Weasher--
appearance IF the Country Slavery. &c.
Though not usually on the list of the health and
pleasure seeking citizens Of our Eastsra and Middle
States, this region is, nevertheless, one highly
worthy their notice and attention. Western cities
have now grown large that the residents thsreof
like unto thsir more enlightened brethren and
sisters Of the East, are accustomed TO spend
. few weeks In travelling and in real enjoyment
amongst the delightful lakes openings and scenery
of the Upper Mississippi country. Ssnated in high
latitude, no more healthy region Can be found in
the world than st. Anthony and the surrounding
country. In fac: the healthfulness. salub:ity and
bracng efapt Of the air is proverbias among those
who ara iamilier with that favored region.
The season is now Of hand; and in order that our
Eastern friends who may be casting around for .
suitable excursion for the sake OF health, pleasure
or gYatiAcation-or all combined may b fully
informed and well posted, 1t becomes the very
pleasant duty Of one who, in yesrs gone by,
paid visit to his BROTHER saints to make known 10
Others the great enjoyment which sttends--and
eurely follows summer tour to Saint Paul, Saint
Peter and Saint Anthony. The writer has no other
interest or desire Ia this matter than thas this part
Of the country snould become more generally known
to summer excursionists, aud has NO hesitation in
referring the doubling ones to those (unf0.tunatey
not very numerous, who have already made this
tour; feeling confident thst one have been or will
be disappointed. OF the route some Of your readers
may be MquiriDg.

For niHe dollars, and in about the same number Of
hours, the traveller s carried entirely ACROSS tho
noble keystone State, and them finds himself in
the valley Of the Mississippi. Ffom Pltssburg hs
will amply be repaid for his expenditure Of time and
money in crossing the great States Of Ohio Indiana
and Illinoie-a feat now easily accomplished since

and very soon will be entirely competed. At s.
Louis will always be found regular passenger pack

profession, ard famed for the end attention they
bsstow on the safety and comfort Of their passsn-
gers. Beside the regular traders, many fine boats
