have made arrangements to publish daily items
from the above places. Our friends will also get
their daily papers earlier than usual.
PUTHAM FOR JUNE.-This orite magazine lies
Man," is continued, and presents as interesting
an article as the previous one. '.The world of
Now York; is another fine article. An article on
''Chicago in lSj6' comments itself for the
manner in which it is written. Putnam for June
is an interesting numbcr-get it and read it.
y The Western Literary Messenger for
June has been received. This is an excellent
oil Oh H. ~
Lathrop, publishers, Buffalo.
MoNEY.-The money market was quite easy
last week. y large amount has been brought
into the Territory, and although the rates of in
terest still rule at , 10 per cent, we believe they
must necessarily come down. They are too
high, end are held there by spectators to the
detriment of the poor man. Bring on your mo-
ney, gcntlemen-we don't care how much.
Posi- OFFICE At ST.. PETER.---A new Post Office
has been established at St. Peter, and George
llezlep appointed Postmaster. This is another
evidence Of the growth of this place.
NEW CoACH.-We observed in the streets on
Saturday, new Coach for the American House.
Ii Is a fine vehicle, manufactured at Concord, and
is another evidence Of the rapid strides we are
making towards the consolidation of Il great city.
FAILING DRIVE learn that the boats are not
busy as formerly. Most Of our merchants
have received their goods, and most of those who
intend to emgrate this Spring, have already ar
rived. When the fall trade sets in. business will
become more brisk.
CO We have not published the proceedings of
the Cincinnati Convention, because we have not
deemed them Of sufficient interest.
The Pioneer says that the receipts for Norths
Circus, in Dubuque, for one afternoon and
evening, was 81 900. Rather large sum.
sGg~ Capt. George, who has been on
brief visit East for bis health, returned on the

deliberately discussed by gentlemen of wealth
and leisure.

of imitation.

the arrival of Rev. Mr.. McClung. and his eman-

TINES week ago. They are all in our Territory,
highly delighted with its free SOIL free air and
free men. We give them cordial welcome.

ting into the same habit.
CULVER & FARRINGroN.-Thcre are probably
few firms in this city that do more extensive
wholesale business than these gentlemen. They
are in the Indian trade and the amount of money |
paid for freight this season is truly enormous
For the Minnesota River alone, $4,000 have al |
ready been expended for freight, and doubtless |
nearly double this amount for boats from be.
