In addition to the above would add. that
the amount of vacant lands in the counties
OF Houston and Fillmore are as follows /:
Houston county, %, 59G acres. Fillmore
county, 34,G20 acres.
twill be seen that the aggregate receipts,
including land warrants for 1858, exceed the
amount of $l,25 per acre, which ari%s by
the sale OF an occasional tract along the line
Of the Southern Minnesota Railroad, for
$3.50 per acre.
The decrease in amount OF lands sold for
the year 1858, is not so great Us could have
reasonably been expected, considering the
distressing crisis with which the whole coun.
try has been visited for the last twelve
months, and speaks volumes in favor of our

Of money and rapid depreciation in the price

increase Of a substantial population, and the
rapid advancement Of valuable improve

of acres have been broken. which will be
ready for the seed the present Spring, and
the winter now over has been most favorable
for preparing fencing for the same Indeed,

The lands in Southern Minnesota are not,
