The rroprietors of St. Peter arc going to make
large Improvements in their city this spring. They
are donating IA good lot worth 500. to any per-
son who will build house and reside do bu-
siness there. Such lilerality will ultimately build
up very importan. city ut that point. Travei Sc
and St. Peter, learn, is like upper and lower
town-all gong aheaJ.-Fee Press.
That is the right way to build town, and VIC
are glad to hear that Saint Peter is finally prov
irg it by its rapid growth, and the general a,ten-
ton directed towards it rs about the most thirty

We understand that several Of our citizens con-
template making it their residence with their
families the present spring, and thata large steam
saw and Touring mill aud over fifty dwelling
houses are already contracted to 60 up there the
coming season. S0Daerhere on that River about
that distance from st. Paul, there is bound to be
IL big town. ST. Peter is in the field with proph-
ccy embodied in her -Minnesofiam.
We can freely endorse the Free Press and Min

trine that libcrality alcays wins

Is not in the catalogue of human maladies one more
TO be deprecated than this well because of pres

the system under its deteriorating influence is
either impaired or entirely destroyed, and a class
OF symptoms superinduccd. that units man for The
performance of any Of the ordinary duties Of life.
The injuries done to the physical part of man are
truly iamentable, but trifling when compared to
those of the censorium, the great nervous centre,
and 70 the great nervous system generally. This
disease which is too often consequent upon that SOL
itary vice, seli-abuse, involves pathological cond
tons Beyond the comprehension OF the uninitiated,
but which are well understood by the regular prac
ttioncr. Among the symptoms most conspicuous
are the following Love of solitude, aversion to
business and society, distressing timidity. nervous
excitement from ght causes, loss of memory con-
fusion Of ideas, inability TO correctly, low
spirits and lassitade dullness Of apprehension and
misanthropy. These being functional derange-
ments. are often the harbingers of horrd organic
LESSONS OF the bran which produces fatuty, demen-
tia aud death.
For the cure Of this and all kindred of diseases
DR.. Czapkay has established his Institute where all

which long experience and thorough devotion 70
his profession has given. Those who suffer should
