TO THE PUBLIC.
The Best Speculation Of the DAY.

We present to the public one Of the greatest comblna-
tive projects of the day, and we solicit their attention to
the particulars. A plain statement OF facts WILL 0e It's
best recommendation.
The undersigned are the proprietors Of the greater
part Of the Town of Louisville, on the south side OF the
Minnesota River, about hfty miles from us NOUN
The Town has been laid out about two years, and al
ready contains a small population, two stores, . steam
erist mill, two steam saw mills, lime-kilns, &c. The I'M
designed have at a large expenditure Of money, bought
out the whole town site, together with some OF the ad'
Joining property which they have also laid out as parts
Of the original town. The site OF the town IL one OF INC
finest on the Minnesota River. 1t possesses an excel
lent landing, and the land on which the town Is ouiit
rises gradually and beautifully from the river, gentle
undulations of the prairie overlooking each other as they
recede, forming one of the handsomest scenes one can
find in the whole valley of the Minnesota. It IS already
the centre Of a considerable trade, and would IN 'ne OF.

for each lot will be apportioned according to its location:
