Minnesota Items.

We CLEAN the following from our last
Minnesota exchanges:
"The Indian payment soon to be made to
the Winnebagoes, at the new agency, at
the LIE Seur fork Of the Blue Earth, Is ex-
citing attention among the traders and they
are preparing accordingly. Messrs. Culver
& Harrington have fifteen tons o! merchan-
disc in readiness to forward.
The Winnebagoes are moving in earnest
toward their new homes on the Minnesota
Rivers What are known as the Mississippi
bands, and which have had their principal
rendezvous at Watab Prairie and Snake
Rapids, arrived at st. Anthony Falls on
Sunday evening last, and temporarily en-
camped. They number some seven hundred,
and comprise the bands of Winneshsk.
Little Priest, Little Hill, Old Road, Pro-
phet's and Carimoui. Each band has brought
its entire camp-furniture, etc, with the
canoes necessary for their voyage with the
| furniture, etc, up the Mime sofa"
The ST. Anthony Express says real estate
| in that place has risen fully 100 per cent
within the year. We quote
"On half of Hennepin Island, embracing
the main fall, was sold last July, for IS 600

4 ed for one undivided fourth of the same prop
erty. Two years ago, the highest offer

refused. Nine months ago, about 30 acres Of
Messrs. Sibloy g. Russei's land, adjoining
the town plat, were sold at Sl25 per acre
The same has been surveyed and resold in
lots, at the rate of $500 per acre. The
average advance Of land in the vicinity o.
the city, has been full 100 per cent. for the
wear. Some has been resold at 200 pei

lands in the Upper Town. The two corner

We clip the following from the Nebraska
City Neus Of the 12th inst:
Nebraska City is the largest city in this
Territory. We have more dwellings, twice
over, than any other point in Nebraska
We have now four stores in full blast
Provisions are twenty-five per cent cheaper
than at any other point, and consequently,
persons intending TO locate in the Territory
will do well TO examine this place and the
beautiful farming lands around it.
We have two sRw-mills in operation oil
thiJpsntalready & another very large steam
saw mill is in progress Of erection and YER
ring towards com pletion, thus we are en-
abled to furnish lumber cheaper and faster
at this place than at any otherin the Terri.

the prosperity of the city.

less than six or eight weeks. The Nebraska

We we're mistaken. II seems these hero
rlypaics are veritable "signs of ideas," and
desisned for no other purpose than to state
the simple. appropriate fact. Our Califor-
MIA Chinese contemporary, Tans-Ngai-San-
Luck, thus elucids.es the matter
Those mysterious characters that are
inscribed. like the symbols Of astrology,
upon the packages of tea, have bothered

braces Ill the latest improvements. When

grind SEQ bushels Of wheat daily, and it,
arrangements are such that 500 barrels Of
-four can be packed in day without spilling
4 handful. We quote from the Courier Of
the Gath
"The motive power OF this mill is the wa

es with irresistible force through the Indiana
chute. The mill-rsce was excavated at an
immense cost of time, labor and money
from the solid limestone that forms the bed
Of the rarids. The wheels are on an en-.
tire new principle, being similar to the sub
merged propellers used in war-steamers

A number OF Freedmen are about get
ting up an establishment at Utica, N. Y,
for the manufacturing Of boots and shoes BY
machinery. 1t is said that the manufa cturc
Of q hpe shoe will cost but ten cents, and
that Of Z fine boot but fifteen TO twenty
cents. The machines can be run by women
and heys, and their proper management
does not require any knowledge Of the pres
eat way of making boots and shoes. The
Isiegreps says that the owners are now in
Washington securing patent for their
machine, and it thus speaks Of its perform
ance:
1.-THE machine is so perfect that il is on.

sole and upper leather, and in an incred.
bly, short space of time IT turns out com
piete boot or shoe, as is desired. We learn
that . number Of capitalists of this city are
negotiating for the purchase Of the patent,
and that it Is their intention, should they
succeed in securing il, to purchase the
Globe Mills and 10 convert them into an
extensive boot and shoe manafactury, EN-
picying some seven hundred hands. A

Ecclesiastical Tryal.

The Pyesbytery of Louisville have lately
been trying Miss Mary Kate Shaw, who
killed a man in Kentucky, about eighteen
months ago We extract from its proceed
ings Of the session:
There were ten members OF the Pres
bytery present r. Valentine acted as
moderator. More than year ago young
lady, q member of that church, killed c. G..
Martin, who at the time Of his death was
engaged in an ARRAY with her brother The
provocation given by Martin to both the
brother and the sister, to the latter Of whom
he was engaged to be married, was one of
the most aggravated character. The young
lady was tried before the Examining Court
and acquitted the matter was brought be-
fore the Grand Jury, and they refused to
indict her The Coroner's Jury also failed
to find any accusation against her. She
was then brought before the Church Session
snd acquitted by that body, by u vote of
three to two.--Chic. Press.
