The undersigned are The proprietor d the Town Of

about frty mics .rom it mni,sh, II town has been
laid on, abou, two years, and already contains q consid-
e,alls population, two stores, = stem gr'St mil, 1--we
steam saw mills, lime kilnS, Ac. IN. undersigned have
within the past two months, At ! b sc expenditure Of
money, bought out the whole town .site, iegetter with
some q the adjoining property which they have also 'aid
out as parts Of the original town. Tie site Of the town
is one Of the finest On the Minnesota River, 1t possesses
an excellent landing, an! the land on which the town y
built rises gradually aud beautifully from the river, gen
tie uudulations of the prairie overlooking each other Us
they rccede, forming one Of the handsomesi scenes cn'
can find in the whole ,ai!,y of the Minnesota. Il Is al
ready the centre OF a considerable trade, aud would ~
the ordinary course Of events. and without the assist
ance Of the enterprise detailed below, have gone on
steadily to success.
Thr undersigned have. however, bought it for another
ohiec, besides securing i, for its intrinsic merits They
are interested in the City Of Niainger on the Mississir
ri River. They are Interested in seeing the Nlninge'
and St. Peter Western Railroad built, and they are will
ing to hold out unexamriea Inducements I" the public
to subscribe to the Stock Of that Road Hence at a
heavy outlay they have secured the iowa site e LOUIS

The lo4s will be sole scd By the purchasers in the or
der IN which they subscribe for Stock, those first sub
scribinc having the first choice TO prevent, however,
those subscribing last from having nothing 1efs but re-
fuse lots, the amount Of Railroad Stock 10 be subscribed
for each lot will he apporsionel according to its location

of Stock to the lot while on the other hand, Of the or
d;narv lois two or threcSlots may be sold for ten dollars
each, rs the accompaniment Of one share of Stock. IN
this way i, will average over the whole town one share
of RosToud .Npk IL me lot, those taking average lots,
neither extremely valuable or extremely inferior. will
get them Il. a share per lot, those running into extremes
must, however, pay u,cre Or less accordingly. 1t may,
however, be said in a general sense, that a share for a
lot will be the terms upon which the lots will be sold.
The shares Of Railroad Stock will cost One Hundred
Dollars each. As the payment of this amount on Il
number Of shares might besa serious obstacle to many
parties joining the Company, we have for the benefit of
all, aud particularly Of The poor man, whose presence as
much or more than any other, We desire in our midst,
arranged the Stock 50 shat the One Hundred Dollars is
pail in small monthly instalments IF Five Dollars every
month for the period Of twenty months, at the expiration
Of which time the One Hundred Dollars will have been
paid in full. Thus the subscription for Stock will fall
lightly upon the subscribers, and will form no impede
n,ens 10 the purchase ~ lots even to the poorest. There
is no man who cannot buy one or two lots at ten dollars
each, and pay from his earnings, however limited, FIVE
dollars per mouth.
Let Us inquire next as TO the Railroad Company in
which. the Stock is to be subscribed. The Nin!nger and
St. Peter Western Railroad Company was chartered at
the last Session of the Territorial Legislature, aud APP
proved March 4th, 1851. Copies Of the Charter will be
given. together with al. Account Book for their pay
ments. to the subscribers for Stock. The road proposed
to be built will extend In its first section from Nininoer
to Louisville, a distance Of t~hirty.6ve miles. 1t will
run through an extremely fertile and rise agricultural
country, slfesdy i . 3 :. degree A1s911t
