We take the following items from the
Register. OF the 2sth.
In our last issue We announced that John T..
Adshsad had been appointed British Consul Tor
Minnesota. We expect the opening OF the sas
katchewan and Red rivers 10 settlers, aud the
over land route TO Frazer river gold mines was
the cause Of u British Consulship being estab'
lshed In Minnesota
The Methodist church building, the frame Of
which was raised but n few weeks since, In rap
idly progressing towards completion, The
foundation of the Congregationalist church
building has also been laid, and Ne expect In a
few days TO see the framework towering aloft.

most every farmer between Helen and Carver
sowed more or lesa, We may expect quito .
large quantity Of winter grain 60 be harvested
IN July. We do hope the Minnesota grist pilla
will be busy from August, lsSa, 70 August 1850

There will be bu, little, II any, winter wheat
raised on tho prairies, II being Killed, but We
are glad that 4 good deal Of winter rye was
sown last fall, aud that II looks exceedingly
well. Our prairie farmers must sow winter
wheat in their corn fields, and pillow II in about
tho last Of August. Let tho corustalks remain
| TO gather the snow during the winter, which
will protect tho wheat, and they need have no
fear that they will not have = large crop. II
will live all tbs time. In the spring crush the
stalks down with roller to give an opportuni
" to reap the wheat.
We notice the arrival Of numerous prairie
schooners al Glencoe during the past week,
