Cy. We were shown a painting of the various
wild flowers of Minnesota last week, and were
surprised at their variety and beauty. Denizens
of the city can't appreciate the flowers of our pra-
res until they have spent at least one day in
culling them from their native beds and noting
their distinctive characteristics. The painting
was by Mr.. 10. Sweeney, who is a genius at
almost anything. ,..-. III,

the city better adapted fora large and commodi-
Gus hotel, than just beyond where the new Ma

It would front on Court House Squar,, be easy
of access to the boats, The Post Office, Market
House, Theatre, CAPITOL, and Churches. bet

sy- We learn from DIR. Stewart, that a lit
tie boy of William Hollinshead, Esq, of this
city, fell from the second story window of his
fathers residence, yesterday, and was seriously
injured. A child of Mr. Wakefield, fell from
the beda few days since, and was SO much in
jured, that for time its life was despaired OF.
THE CApIroL AND CArIToL SaUARE.-
The present condition OF our Capitol building
and the surrounding grounds, are enough TO
call forth tile tirtuous Indignation of every cti-
zen. The building is going to decay and the
square is'in just about as bad condition as it
can possibly be. We wish to know, and the
