A Novel Voyase--Rrom Otter Tail
Lake to New Orleans.


While in St. Paul the other day, esaw rather
strange sight, being nothing more or less than
nminiatu.e craft, built at Otter Tml Lake, at the
head Of Crow Wing River, one Of the Western tri-
butares ofthc upper Mississippi lying in latitude
46s north. The proprietor, whose name Is Cur
tis, is an EnglisLnlan By birth, and in company
viii several other persons, went with bis family
from Boston last year, and settled at Otter Tail
Lakelwith the intention offounding city in that
Garden Of Minnesota
After having spent the winter there with his
family in solitude, his provisions all gone, and
the ''city having failed of an existence, save On
paper-he finally set to work in true Yankee
style, built him boat, about thirty feet long,
placed his family and effects therein, and upon
tile opening Of navigation, started down with
the current, Passing ont Of Otter Tail Lake In
TO Crow Wing River, he foated down that stream
and entered the Mississippi some l50 miles abo7e
the Falls Of St. Anthony, over which he passed
n his frail bark with safety. After getting bo-
luw the Falls he tied up, aud built cabin ubout
seven BY ten feet, and resumng his journey, lie
arrived at St. Paul, where his boat now lies, the
wonder Of all. To render the trip still more ln-
tcrestiuc, we may add that his crew were in-
creased some weeks since by the addition OF q
new born infant to his family! 1t may be graft
living to the courter5 Of the new world, as well
AZ to the old, to know thut both mother and
child are dong WE'LL
Curtis is a silver platter By trade, and proposes
to continue his journey i'll his UNIQUE craft to
New Orleans, stopping at the towns along the
| river only long enough to supply himself and
| family with the necessary provisions, which he
expects to obtain BY his labor It his trade as Up.
