was felt for the safety of Rolette's train from
Pembina, which had been out over time, but
it has come forward in good order, accompa-
MED by the veritable 10. himself. The delay
was occasioned by the extreme hot weather.
The MARKEr.-Matters about the market

MERCHANTS HoTEL.-We haye, for some
weeks, neglected to notice the fact that this

It is now in the hands of Mr.. E. G. Belote,
an old and experienced caterer for the pub
lie, formerly of Western New York, who is
keeping the house in style which fully war
rants the confidence of the public. The
Merchants has deservedly an ga No. l +"
reputation among the Hotels Of St. Paul,
and as long as Mr.. Relotte stays there, We

are allowed about the House. Long may
this popular establishment live and prosper
under its present management!
