have so deservedly entered. Accept my hearty
congratulations on the commencement of your
building under such favorable auspices, and my
sincere thanks for the kindness of your invita-

ST. Paul, NJ. T., June 9th, 1856.
Gentlemen THE Benevolent Society of the
United Sons Of Erin, has received your very kind
note, inviting the Society to assist you in laying
the corner stone of your building. The Society
do fully appreciate your kindness, and also the
motives for which it was rendered But, Gen
tlemen, we regret very much that cannot ac-
cept your invitation, as you have chosen to lay
that stone according to, and by ceremony of a
secret Or.er, with whom we cannot have any
communion whatever, as Society. But, we can
you, that we heartily approve of the objects
YOU have in view in raising an edifce, in which
to preserve the relicts of the past, as guide to
future generations, whereby they can trace the
obliterated land marks of Minnesota.
Yours, Respectfully,

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION,
WAsHlNGToS, June 10, 1856.
Gentlemen Il beg through YOU to tender my
sincere thanks for the invitation conveyed in
your letter Of the 9th ult., and to express the
qualification it would afford me; could | be
present at the interesting ceremony of laying the
cornerstone of Il building intended to accomo-
date the Minnesota Historical Society. l have
from the first been much interested in the estab-
lishment and progress of your Institution, and
have referred TO it as a model for imitation in
other newly settled portions Of our country
The every day occurrences of the present which
are considered Of little Importance at the time,
become the materials of history in the future
1t is. therefore, highly desirable that they be
gathered up, and that records be faithfully pre-
served of everything which tends to shape the
character IF your rapidly advancing territory.
Besides collecting the facts of the present
there is much in your country to be CLEANED as
regards the past, in the evidences of the changes
which the earth has undergone in geological phe-
nomena. You have also an interesting field for
cultivation in the language, manners, anu
toms Of the Indian, which is fast disappearing
from our Continent, As well as in the mounds
and vestiges of the more ancient inhabitants,
which arc TO be found within your borders.
You have made an admirable beginning in
these invests ations and trust that your Insti-
tuition will continue to flourish and not only
tend to advance the cause of knowledge by its
own immediate labors, but also indirectly by its
example in the way of establishing other soci-
cites of IL similar character.
1t would afford me-, as | said before, much
pleasure and qualification to be present on the
interesting occasion of the approaching eelebra-
ton, but regret that my duties are such as to
prevent me from accepting the invitation.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE "A corresp ondent in

the trying days OF lSi0-we gave our labor
