The Nest Speculation Of the nay.

We present to the public one of the greatest combina.
tive projects of the day, and we solicit their attention to
the particulars. a plain statement Of facts will be its
hest Recommendation. ....... .. ID.
The undersigned are the proprietors Of the greater
part of the Town Of Louisville, on the south side!ef the
Mianesota River, about fifty miles from its mouth.
The Town has been laid ont about two. years, and al
ready contaips q small population, two stores, a steam
grist mill, two steam san mil!s, Hme-kilns, &c. The un.
~dersigued have At 3 large expenditure Of money, bought
out the whole town site, together with some Of the adj
joining property which they have also laid out 40 parts
Of the original town. The site Of the town is one Of the
finest on the Minnesota River. 1t possesses" an excel
lent landing, and the land on which the town is built
rises gradually and beautifully from the river, gentle
nnduiations of the prairie overlooking each other as. they
reeede, forming. one Of the handsomest scenes one can
find in the whole valley of the Minnesota. 1t is already
the centre of q considerable trade, and would in the or
binary course Of events, and without the assistance Of
the enterprise detailed below, have gone on steadily to
success. as.s sj s:.. at-ss..e. -~I e
The undersigned have, however, bought it for another
object besides securing it for its intrinsic merits. They
are interested in the City Of Niuinger on the Mississippi
River. They are interested in seeing the Nininger and
St. Peter Western Railroad built, and they are willing
to hold out nnsxampled Inducements to the public to
subscribe to the Stock Of that Road. Hence at a heavy
outlay they have secured the town site Of Louisville,
band how rake the following proposal. , proposal they
believe to be unprecedented in lberality, and in benefits
TO those ono nay eak0 edNAoIage OF IT, ~
They offer to sell lots in the Town Of LoaisviM 70,
ten dollars each, 10 sxch parties as shall .xbscr,be ia,
Stock in the Nin;nger and 81. Peter Western Rai1roao
Company.
The lots will be selected by the purchasers in the or
der in which they subscribe for Stock, those FIRST sub
scribing haying the first choice. To prevent, however
those subscribing last from having nothing left but re
fuse lots, the amount Of Railroad Stock to be suhscribet
for each lot will be apportioned according to its location
astheamost N6iashla will require tBo,o or even three shares
Of Stock to the lot while on the other hand, Of the or
binary lots two or three lots may be sold for ten dollars
each, as the accompaniment of one share Of Stock. II
this way it will average over the whole town one share
of Railroad Stock to one lot, those t:king average lots
neither extremely valuable or extremely inferior, vii
get them at one share per lot, those running into ex
tremes must pay more; it may, however, DO said in
general sense, that a share for a lot will be the term
upon which the lots will be sold.
: The shares Of Railroad Stock will cost One Hundred
Dollars each.. As the payment Of this amount on
fnuuiber ofshares might be q serious obstacle to man.
