to compete with the world, it is to be hoped
that the Secretary of the Navy will order the
construction at the Washington Navy Yard Of
at least one, if not two, of the new steam

the rapid advance in property in Western
towns We notice in q late number of tho St.
Paul (Minu.) Advertiser that j. A. Case, real
estate agent, of that place, sold seven lots in
Bayfield, for $3.50
On the 10Th Of April last this fourishing

place.
We notice by tho same paper that the work
on the railroad Is progressing as rapidly as
could be expected at this season of the year
A company of men are at work in the deep
cut near the crossing Of tho Black river, which
is the heaviest cut at that end of the roa
