New Bu1LD1No.-Among the many
evidences of returning prosperity, We note
the fact, that Mr.. Joseph Broker is about
to erect a large Brick Store, in the central
portion of St. Cloud. Messrs Burbank &
Go. are adding forty feet to their extensive
Warehouse and Store building, at the Up

F1RE.-Thc Stable of DR.. Fillmore de-
ceased, in Upper Town, was consumed on
last Friday evening. Undoubtedly the
work Of an incendiary.

most liberal contributions toward the pros
pcrity Of central Minnesota. We think
that in stcarns County, twice as many
acres arc sown as we're planted one year
ago. Mr.. David Spalding, of Maine Prai-
RE, has already seeded one hundred acres
of wheat, and fifty of oats.

with ability. 1t is published monthly by
Z. YOU'VE & Coz. 7. Freed y Editor.
r@- We have received the first number
of the Daily Wabosha,o Journal. Its q
very neat little sheet-but we arc afraid,
will not pay. The publisher says he "vill
continue it as long as it pays, 1us no lon-
9er." We wish it success.
A- River going down stream all the
time: and not much Of a river at that
Not boat has reached our wharf this
Spring; but the lumbermcn are getting
their logs down. Fowler g. Owen have
their boom full, and great numbers have
passed down.
"a St. Cloud has been alive with riv-
er-drivers for two weeks. They have been
out in the woods all Winter, and are con.
soling themselves by having a good time
in town. They have laughed, and shout
ed, and danced, and walked the midnigh
echoes right heartily; but have injured or
insulted no one.
n9~ We arc indebted to Mr.. Abel for
the May No. of Harpor's Magazine
1t is good, and can be procured at Mr..
Abclps Bookstore, opposite the Post Office
pa- Stephen Miller, ESQ.,, as a Delegate
to the Rcpubl can National Convention,
left St. Cloud on last evening for Chicago.
p8> I. G. Alden, Esq, one OF our car
Hest settlers, left last week for his early
home in Connecticut. We all recognise
the force of the reason which takes him
back to the old homestead as the stay Of
the declining years Of bis parents, but still
his departure is a dispensation of Provi-
dcnce to which our citizens in general, and
we in particular, are not resigned, and do
not intend to be. 1t Is serious loss to St
Cloud; but he is attended by the best wish
es Of large circle Of friends here. =.
n@- Since the lac fire by which his
Store-room was destroyed, Mr.. Rohr, Of
St. Paul, has removed his store to new
room near the Post Office. He had added
much, to his stock of music, which was for
tunate1y saved, and has also large assert
ment Of Books, Stationary, &c. &C., and
says he will sell as low as any similar es-
tablshment in St. Paul. We would call
attention to his advertisement on our fourth
page.
