A Pill for Old FOcies!

The lot opposite the Winslow House, corner Of
ST. Anthony and Fort streets, was sold yesterday
by MIR. Nathan Myrick, of this city, to B. H.
Campbell, ESQ.,, of Galena, for $4,000 five
years ago the lot cost Mr.. Myrick just 5000! MIR.
CampbelFs business relations have brought him
to this city frequently during the last six years,
and had he taken advantage of the opportunity,
he might have purchased, within that time, the
whole ground upon which st. Paul now stands
for the money he yesterday paid for single
building lot, almost on the outskirts of the citv
Yet, even now the lot is obtained at a bargain.
and in few years, will sell readily at FIVE times
that amount. Men are coming to our city every
day who "came very near starting some years
ago." and are discovering that though our land
sells at higher price than it did month ago,
1t does not yet cost half so much as q lack of
confidence! Experience will teach the lesson.
GT We published the news from Pennsylya.
nia---unwelcome as it was---in advance of both
our cotemporaries, whereat the Pioneer man
wakes wrathy, and vents its spite by charging US
with the frightful mistake of awarding 81 in
stead OF 2l Representatives to Ohio. We are
glad that while the witty Pioneer man indulges
in so much braying and "fourish Of trumpets,"
(tin,) aud while his patriotic Uranium is continu-
ally rocking with such clouds of Gumbugum gas,
he still keeps his eye peeled to detect the blum
ders of our typo! We always set up our latest
news, while the editor of the Pioneer is asleep,
and We are glad that in transferring them into his
columns ne should condescend to correct couple
OF figures. The " Generations yet unborn we
read OF, will bless his ass-tute vision. 1t was
wretched blunder, and might have led to awful
results had it not been SO sagaciously and Provi-
dentially discovered |! We acknowledge the

- GD Very destructive fires are raging in the vi.
cinity of Henderson. Large quantities of Hay
and other produce have been consumed, and the
farmers are sustaining much damage. In the vi
cinity of St. Peter also the losses have been very
severe, farmers having to sell their cattle in some
instances for lack of fodder. The Courier is in
formed that the fires are kindled by the Winnie
bago Indians, who are incensed at the settlers for
inhabiting those beautiful lakes which they hunt
and fish on. Cannot these fires be stopped?
