SLOW MUcn BETTER -" How much better
that school-house would look if it were only sur
rounded with young trees So said stranger
to us, the other day, he passed the Baldwin
School house: and so cxclaims almost every clti-
zen whose eyes rest upon the bleak, barren walls
of that otherwise pleasing building. Plant trees,
RowpYIsM There is too much rowdyism in
this city, caused in great measure by intoxic IT
ing drinks. If this once gets the upper hands OF
us, it will be hard thing to put it down, and it
is therefore necessary that great promptness
should be used on the part of our public officers.
The decisive steps taken by Mayor Becker on
Thursday afternoon, in arresting and carrying to
Jail noisy, brawling, drunken man, is worthy
imitation.
IMPORTANT TO SETTLERS Notice has been re-
that any and all lands in that district are still
subject to pre- emption, and will remain till the
railroad lines have been established by the Legis
lature, and the companies have made their selcc
tions. The same rule, we presume, will hold
good in this territory. Settlers should take
notice.

bra,ion at St. Paul. The head of the man who
fred it, was somewhat I'M ured, but no one else.

man in out of Il ''muss' about as quick as
any one we know Of.
Another OUrRAGE!-The St. Anthony Repub-
lican gives an account of another outrage at

of new and fne residence, near the dwelling of
Mr.. IIolinshead, in the upper part of the city,
lie has already an excellent garden in high
state of cultivation
CT We would cal the at cntion of our read

as being an admirable place to make good add-
ton to their Libraries. The stock is large and
contains very valuable works. Prof. Pickett spi-
ces his sales with free Lectures. Call in and see
the Professor.
THAT FEScE!-We quite anxious to know
why it is that the Capitol fence has not been
constructed before? Has not the money been
appropriated for the purpose? Why are these
public improvements delayed so long? Is the
Commissioner paid BY the day, or has he ayearly
salary? These are questions upon which we de-
sire light? Who'll answer?

Executive Committee of the Minnesota Historical
Society, that the publishers of the various pa
p;fs 10 this Territory, address copies of their
respective papers, regularly, to Rev. Il. ID. Neil,
Secretary, who desires them for preservation for
the Association. We feel sure that our editorial
brethren will most checrfully comply with this
request.
AFTER tlIN 80 Anthrax" has an army of Min
nesotians after him, and if he is not annihilated
it won't be because there has been no shot and
powder expended. DIR. L. L. Mann takes him to
task through the columns of the Ledger, and
other Philadelphians to follow him. We are
not sure but Mr.. Silver has done Minnesota a
great service. He has ovcrshot the mark, and the
poison he intended for us, permeates his own sys-
TEN. Poor Anthrax" How he wrthcs and
squirms, and groans.

or and Traverse. On the 4th Il celebration was
held there in which soma 800 persons participa-
ted. An Grafton was delivered BY Judson Jones,
ESQ.,, which breathcs the true spirit of Freedom,
but which is too lengthy for our columns. The
seed, we think, has been sown on good ground
and will bring forth abundant fruit. A poem by
