A GooDLY number of fine houses are in
course OF contract-one fine four story stone
block on the corner Of College and Main
streets, and a stone building of the same d.
mansions directly opposite, on Main and Col
lege streets. One of the buildings will be fin
lshed for first-class hotel-the other will
be used as a business house. These blocks
when completed, will be an ornament to our
rapidly growing town.-Democrat.
They have an academy at Monticello and
the Times says:
The great draw back 10 an educated emil
grafton in this Territory, is the lack of
schools, private and public, but this confessed
obstacle to the prosperity of so many of our
towns, has no existence here. 1t is not a
want unsupplied here, for, from the alphabet
to the highest requirements for entra nee to
college, and many studies even of a collegiate
course are successfully pursued and mastered
every day in our midst. Therefore every in
ducement to men of intelligence is given to
settle here, and if they do not, it is not the
fault of the Academy that they do not come.
If MINNESOTA had no other redeeming
qualities than merely her farming interests
alone, she would even then prove herself the
most brilliant star in the whole cluster of
States.-Red Wing Sentinel.
