Minnesota weekly times., 1855-05-15

more in . crippled form. We shall commence
our second volume next week on our full sized
paper, and we hope we shall not be under the
necessity of spelling the looks of our Weekly
again.
Gy The TINES, kind reader, takes of its hat
to you this morning. The TINES bows.
1t is the anniversary Of our Inauguration as the
leading Journal of Minnesota. Is it any wonder
we take of our hat, and bow profoundly, or that
our heart is very full this morning?
When we commenced the experiment Of daily
paper in St. Paul and threw our all upon that die,
it was not without some distrust Of our ability to
compete with the able Journalists who had en-
tered the field before US, or just after us. Our
apprehensions made us modest, at the START
Success has made us proud, not vain gloriously,
or self complacently, or defantly; we are not
intoxicated with it, or dazzled with it much as
to imagine our boots present shining testimon-
nial to the efficacy of 'Day & Martini when they
hav mt been blacked for week. We are proud,
kind patrons, of you, your number, your intelli-
gence, your discrimination, your support and es-
pecialiy your Dimes We glory in your dimes
If there is anything in our clothes which in this
>bour Of our triumph rings out more exullantnote
than anything else, it is, dear reader your dimes.
Next to our subscription list, and our indyid-
ual new ha.,we proud of st. Paul; firstly, that
it contains, and, secondly that it supports Jour-
nal of the character and calibre of the Time sand,
emitting the intermediate gradations of our
gratifed complacency, We are, twentiethly, proud,
that while it hugs the Times to its maternal breast,
with all the ardent affection of a mother for her
fayorite child, it has not cast our twin brothers
off entirely, but lets the poor dear little things
creep, and cry, and fret, through their several
teethings, and play around her skirts, and bump
their dear little heads against sharp corners, and
sleep and sleep away, without saying much Of
anything, without the least rufie of displeasure
on her amiable countcnance.
We have had troubles, reader, who has
not? We have been out of paper when it was i'm
possible to procure any. We have been OCCASION
ally at a loss for news, when the mail bags got
lost by tn, overland route, and on one occasion,
lost our dinner by not getting to it in time. But
we have borne our sorrows manfully. We
have had enemies too. If we had not hid enc
mics to conquer, we had not won the need of
victory, and we had not to-day been crowned by
an admiring public, with this glorious garland Of
subscribers, that adorns our temples at this pre-
else time.
Enemies? we rate our importance by our ene-
mies-measure our glory by their malice.
1t is not everybody who has enemies. The Idiot
has none. The Minncsotian now, who would
think of bcs;owing his hostility on that some
horse concern"
We have fought enemies at every step. Their
name legion. We have tough: DAY after day
through fraud, rascality, intrigue, jealousy and
every possible phase of moral depravity with
barred arms and trousers legs turned up, till there
isn't grease spot left of the whole aFrighted,
yclping, covering pack. We have not killed them
off by low personalities. Our vindictiveness al
ways takes high moral tone. We wrap pri-
vase piqus up in didactic essay, and hurl the
fatal bolt of vengeance, from innocant-lookng
clouds of gcneralisat.on OAR enemies wither ~
at our feet, and nobody knows what hurt thcm.--
They hear the thunder of spleen, but hav'nt
the least idea where the lightning strikes, inso-
much that coroner's luries sqlint NJ WHEN they
give a verdict of s'Icath from unknown causes.'
We may therefore be considered a dangerous
foe.
Advise people to put themselves on good terms
with US soon possible. Our paper is the
only medium Of econciliation-Smles can't SUBJ
due our ferocity, champanc may mollify, but it
can't eradicate our resentment. You can only
concillate by advertisement, or subscription.
In case of extreme poverty, will accept JOB work
as temporary Precipitation. 80.
REAL ESTATE SALEs.-Real Estate is getting
more lively, (don't have any concealed reference
to the prevalence of dusty Last week the inn
portant transactions were in first class lands, and
large tracts passed out of speculative hands to
productive proprictors. Besides the heavy ope-
rations last week already recorded of this char
actcr, we are informed that Franklin Steele, Esq,
has effected sale of l60 acres near Fort Smelling
and adjoining DR.. Bidwel's beautiful farm, for
total of over $4,000. The purchaser in this case
was Col. Bayard, of Philadelphia, who intends,
we understand, to make his home here, and to
commence at the other end the chain of handsome
residences which are ere long to occupy the charm
ing ridge of country which fronts with graceful
slope on the Fort Smelling Road.
CT The Galena in command of Capt. Blakely
left yesterday at 10 O'Clock A. NJ. her usual time
of departure, We have in the Galena clean,
comfortable and desirable boat TO travel on.--
Previous to her departure as is usual with her she
was thoroughly scrubbed and we do not hesitate
to say the Galena with her experienced Captain and
her cool headed thorough going mate, Laugbton,
will ever present as she did yesterday morning
cabin all clean and parlor-like, deck oil clean
and pleasant, sweet and comfortable. ,lnA9fiA
rF The New St. Paul from st. Louis, in COM
mand Of j. L. Bissell arrived here Sunday night.
She brought 100 tons of freight for this city
among which we find 800 sacks of oats 100 sacks
of corn. She left two barges below .Galens and
over three tons of freight. Reports no sickness
on board this trip and Capt Bissell says that but
one man ever died on board while in bis COM
mand. From the appearance of the boat and eu-
terprise of her officers we should judge her to be
neat little craft and worthy Of public patronage.
She left yesterday. Fare to Galens $500 to st.
