in their aspirations by the cold weather. The
other day we noticed two fine stone buildings in
the progress of erection, near the Land Cfiice-
one by MIR. Goodwin Fuller, and one hy JOS
eph LeDuc. We are informed that there are
some fifteen or twenty buildings under contract
to be built before the first of April in that place.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES sixty Winnebago Indians
have been converted to the Catholic faith Mt the
Agency, recently, by s'Father' Vivaldi; by whom
they have been baptised.
WINTER WHEAT.-We venture the assertion
that, notwithstanding the short time it has been
settled, farmers in the Minnesota Valley have now
more winter wheat in the ground than those of
the whole Territory combined. The success which
atIenueu the trial crops last year, has made it's
culture liked fact. and we hazard nothing in
