St. Peter.

The propretors of st. Peter are going, to
make large improvements in their city TINS
spring. They are donating goood, lot worth
$500, to any person who will build house
and reside or do business there. Such ibe-
rality will ultimately build up very impor-
tant city at that point. Traverse and st.
Peter, we learn, is like upper and lower
town-all going head.-Ffee Press.
That is the right way to build town, and
we are glad to hear that Saint Peter is final
ly proving it by its rapid growth, and the
general attention directed towards it as about
the most thriving and promising town on the
Upper Minnesota We understand that sew
eral of our citizens contemplate making it
their residence with their families the pres
ent spring, and that large steam saw and
Touring mill and over fifty dwelling houses
are already contracted to 60 up there the
coming season. Someanhere on that River about
that distance from St. Paul, there is bound
to be big town. st. Peter is in the field
with prophecy embodied in her name.

Mount Vernon.

In June, 1855, John A. Washington pro-
posed to sell two hundred acres of Mount
Vernon, including the Washington Mansion,
burial place, &C., for 100000, to the State
of Virginia; but the offer was not accepted.
Latterly Mr.. Everett has been lecturing on
the character of Washington, and he has
proposed to devote the proceeds of his labor
to the purchase. In consequence of the &C
emulation in the hands of committees where
he has spoken, the owner of Mount Vernon
has been addressed in regard to the proposed
transfer, and he answers thus:
MOUNT VERNON, March IL, 1856.
10 Mrs. Maria S. Wo6@d:
MADAM have received your letter of
March 9th, respecting the purchase of Mount
Vernon by the ladies of different narts of
the United States. In reply. I resnectfnlIv
inform you that Mount Vernon is not sor
sale. .''
am, most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN A. WASHINGTON.
Almost simultaneously with this letter
appears the following paragraph in the
Washington correspondence of the New
York Herald:
Mr.. Washington, the present incumbent
Oh mount Vernon, stated a short time since
That the place was not for SALE The reason
