Dear Sir Having just returned from

inquiries respecting the past. present and future
prospects of that young. but flourishing City.
On arriving there, was favorably imp essed
with the throng Of business along Main Street.
1t was living panorama Of horses, carts, re-
destrians and workmcn, delving and blasting
into the bluffs. as though determined to raise
City in defiance Of the severity of winter, the
bowling storms of the North and the majestic
hills which strive to hug them in. ~
learned from your friend Scott and others,
that the business Of the past season had increas-
ed one fourth ; and as to building, there were
many new houses and blocks erected within the
past six months. The attention received from
Mr.. Scott is hard TO be found among Strangers
If McGregor can boast of many such kind

it is bound, ere long, to rival Dubuque.
