tate Office on the ground as soon as the neces-

healthy growth Of our city, and is only u FORE
runner Of more extensive transactions.
. In our article Ola the fracas at the Capitol,
which appeared in yesterday paper, we stated
that blows were passed between Messrs. Nc
Leod and Heard. In this we were mistaken.
Mr.. Mcleod brushed his handkerchief over the
face of Mr.. Heard and seized his cane, when
the latter pushed the former over the bannis-
tiers. We also stated that Mcleod was put
under arrest and held to bail. This is incor-
rect. Mr.. Mcleod is at liberty and took his
seat in the House yesterday. - .s g.. -
WAYzArA.-Ths is promising little town
on the North shore IF Lake Minnetonka, con-
tanning steam saw mill, two blacksmiths shops
two stores, and six or seven dwellings,. 1t is
principally owned by o. E. Garrison, who has
recently received warrantee deed Of the town
site. Success to Wayzata.
| Cold Manufacturing the last month
and the one previous, the mercury for tllir-
ty.two days, ranged below zero. We are in
formed by gentleman who has resided for
thirty years in Minnesota, that during that pc.
riod he has never known so cold weather as has
been experienced this winter. The weather
East and South has been almost as severe, and
even in Louisiana it is reported that one or two
persons have been frozen to death.
A RARE OppoRruxIrY.-There never was
better chance for good, enterprizing man to
make money. than to start an Express between
| this city and the Eastern States. We know a
large number of our citizens who would give
such an enterprise their cordial approval. Will
ey can be made out of it-come along and try.

LAxENrABLE! Many of our readers have doubt
less seen in the city papers (our own among the
rest.) articles from the pen of r. B. Curtiss, a
young man of fine ability. Mr.. Curtiss died at
Shakopee on Friday last, aged "a years. Young,
talented, ambitious, he has been struck down by
that Unsuitable demon Of Hell-RUM! He was
native of Norwich, Ct. and has father and rel
atives residing in New York State.
We hope we shall be able in few days to
make room for several communications now on
hand, but at present it is impossible to give that
attention to our friends we desire. 80
