EDITORIAL VIslr.-Mr.. Carpenter. Editor
of the Wisconsin Patriot, called upon Us yes

be encouraged by our citizens-not the neglect

| MINNESOTA VALLEY. ITEMS.
We copy the following items from the Hem
derson Democrat:-The river has commenced
falling very last, and the prospect is that it will
soon be confined within its banks. Persons
from below represent it as resembling a lake in
many places. The water lacked about 12 in
ches Of reaching low water mark. We do not
hear of any damage that has been done by the.
flood. We can assure our readers that the
water has not caused a single person to leave
his dwelling; nor has it come within IL inches
of reaching the first floor Of any occupied build
ing. b fi9e it5

utensils for farming, and a large supply pro-

through this place on their way to Hutchinson,
Glencoe, and the country in that vicinity. with

an excellent class Of settlers, and possessed Of
capital and energy. Among them were some
Of the oldest settlers in Minneapolis.
