Snow AND POVERTY IN MINNEsorA.-A gentleman
from ST. Paul informs the Prairie du Chen Courier
of recent date, that there were in the first part Of
the previous week eighteen inches of snow on the
ground at st. Paul. The Times says
The snow at Hastings on the morning of Sunday
was eight inches deep. This seems too terrible for
belief. A great portion Of Minnesota is in state Of
destituton. No money is in the country. Large
bodies of emigraIts are huddled together in places
entirely new and remote from supplies, and now the
rigors of northern winter are upon them, nearly q

for those who are without provisions or money, and
