4 From the Red Wing Sentinel.
i The citizens of Florence and the adjoin-
ing country are now supplied with something
they have needed for sometime. Mr.. Phil
lips, first rate mechanic, has established
himself in the Blacksmithing business at this
place.
Mr.. Potter, the enterprising and liberal
proprietor of this beautiful location for vii
lage, holds out rare inducements to mechan-
les and others wishing to establish themselves
in business at some new point and grow up
with the place.
To all such we would say, pay Florence
visit, and give Mr.. Potter call, and we are
sure that you will be SO pleased with the To-
| cation and the announcements offered, that
you will, like Mr.. Phillips, conclude to ''stick
your stakes there"

ComINa.-We have been favored with the
perusal of letter from a gentleman in IL
linois, to friend here, which states that
company of forty families will start for this
place in early Spring. Let them come
there is room for them. Let them bring
strong arms and stout hearts, and our Valley
will afford them glorious field in which to
realize fortunes. If they are indolent-or
GROWERS Minnesota was not made for them,
and they had better stay where they are
Our Territory was created for men of iron
will-who can smile at adversely and laugh
at the hardships incident to a pioneer life.
These are always welcome, and ever sue
coed. For all such cordial welcome is
waiting.
MINNESOTA SETTLEMENT ASSOCIATION
We are in receipt of the Constitution and
Bylaws of this Association, which meets
every Wednesday evening at No. 1853 Bow
cry, New York, for the purpose of making
the necessary preparations for embarking to
this Territory-and to the Minnesota Val
ley, on the opening of Spring. We would
say to this society, that if they would wish
to engage in Agricultural pursuits. there is
no better section of the Territory than Nj
collet County affords. Much has been said
of our county; but if any one will come
hither and examine its soil, he will agree
with us that "the half has not been told"
WINTER WHEAT.-We venture the asser-
ton that Notwithstanding the short time it
has been settled, farmers in the Minnesota
Valley have now more winter wheat in the
grouiid than those of the whole Territory
combined: The success which attended the
trial crops last year, has made it's culture
fixed fact, and we hazard nothing in saying
few years will show 1t the only kind raised
in this section of Minnesota.
A COOP YIELD.-Mr John Pettijohn, of
this precinct, the past season raised three
hundred and sixty bushels of potatoes off of
three bushels of seed Think of this, We
who croak about the sterilty of the soil of
Nicollct County. 1t is fact which every
days experience demonstrates, that there is
no section of our beautiful and fertile Terri
tory superior to this. just wait until we
get our Agricultural Society under way, and
if its first exhibition don't astonish all, we'll
give it up.
WoLvEs-Will no tthe Legislature offer a
bounty for the destruction of these animals
our farmers are sorely perplexed by them,
and the surest way of getting rid of the
nuisance, seems to be to pay small pre-
MUM for their scalps.
FoxEs.-Great havoc just now is being
made in the fox kingdom. We hear daily of
the destruction of many of these vile depre-
dators:
