American House. at NOrthficId.

This new public house, we learn, was OPEN
perhaps the most spacious aud beautiful build
ing in the interior of Southern Minnesota
1t stands on an elevated site, and commands
a very wide view of country, rarely exceeded
in fertility and natural beauty. 1t is three
stories from the basement, with so finely fin
ished and furnished rooms, besides parlors
&c. On the summit is a lookout, afording
as delightful a prospect as ever falls under
human eye. At little distance the gentle
Cannon winds its way in silent loveliness, and
beyond lies the ''big woods" In other di-
rections broad prairies and fields offer their
rich perspective, and one of the very best of
our new towns is rising around it.
This hotel was built by j. w. North, Esq,
and could not have cost less than $4,000
1t is rented by Mr.. Cutter, the architect, and
now attracts the traveller and the RESIDENT
At the opening supper but little less than 100
ladies' and gentlemen sat down to table as
handsomely set and as tastefully and literally
loaded as can be found at the first class ho-
tells of the country. 1t was quite evident
that the house was as 70; tunate i'm its landlord
and lady as it had been in its architect, and
proprietor. Besides large number from
Mortified, several from Faribaut and other
neighboring towns were present at this pleas
ant social gathering.
Travellers on this great thoroughfare can
now enjoy all the comforts of good hotel,
with gentlemanly and lady-like attentions,
and sojourners who come to enjoy our health
giving climate, will find no more agreeable
place in the territory. And it will be found
out before long that this atmosphere is worth
far more than Saratoga Springs Or Newport
breathings of the sea.
Our best wishes for the "American House,;
and the excellent town of which it is so rich
an ornament.

On Thursday evening last, says the Waba-

held meeting of the Grand Lodge of the
Territory, at Morris Hall, Wabashaw, for the
purpose of forwarding the interests of the
cause, and we understand very spirited and
harmonious feeling prevailed.
On Thursday evening at the same hall quite

Lecture by the Rev. Mr.. Quigley, who is
travelling throughout the Territory instituting

SHADE TREES season is now ap-
preaching for planting shade trees, and we
hope subject so important will not be over
looked by our citizens. Shade trees add
much to the beauty of the avenues, and to
the private grounds whereon they are plant
cd. There is lack of this kind of ornament
in our city, and we decry the vandalism that
cuts down and destroys rather than protects
and raises beautiful trees. In few years by
Il little taste, places now barren and desolate,
and dirty, ungainly streets can be made live
ly and pleasant, and attractive by the judi,
cious planting of shade trees. Let every one
who has house plant some, and our word for
it, he will be repaid ere long by the romantic
beauty with which it will invest his home,
and tie comfortable cool shade it will afford
him in the sultry summers. 1t was true
remark made by distinguished American,
" Plant trees for they will grow while you
arc sleeping" and thus what was done with
little trouble and expense, will soon prove a
source OF comfort.
There are many trees which will grow we'll
here with little care. The Locust, Maple,
Finn, Oak, Cedar, Walnut, Poplar and Pine,
all of which are elegant and hardy trees, are
indigenous to this soil, and can be easily pro-
cured. We should be glad to see this sub.
ject taken up, and two or three seaso ms will
make great change in the appearance of our
city. No place We were ever in presents
more of field for the display of taste in this
matter than St. Paul, or has more natural
facilities for being made the most lovely city

fractions, very often stays out late. Alb
out the noon of night few evenings ago,
B. came sauntering home. ard finding the

a latch key. Then he tried the knob again,
aud made second search for the key:
These mysterious movements were watch
ed with great interest by a couple OF stars
municipal stars-reader, for the night was
cloudy across the street, who now drew near
under cover of building, ready to nab tie
supposed burglar. B. finally concluded he
couldn't get in at the front door, and took a
step or two back to look up at the windows,
to see if there was any one up. Not seeing
any light, he bethought of q last resource,
viz a shed kitchen, ir N which he could
climb into window. No sooner thought
than he started. B. mounted barrel, and
was just about springing on the shed, when
the two Policemen grabbed him, and gave
him no very gentle jerk back again on terra
