In %his. County, was acquitted at St. Paul last

We call attention to the report on our out
side Of the trial of Miller's Sugar Evaporator,

Restorative, under the head Of Especial No.
tices." We have seen many well-authentica-

ing. We ore very frequently in receipt of let
ters directed to Minnesota Territory, and we
receive regularly three times week the Phila.
dslphia Inquirer, large and influential paper,
bearing the following printed label: "DEMo-
Graf, st. Cloud, Minnesota Territory" Now,
We would most respectfully urge upon our
friends Of the Inquirer that they pay little
more attention to their photography and Geog-
raphy Remembering that Minnesota is not
spelled with an !, and that from being q terri
tory, she is now one of the foremost of the
Western States, and will, ere long, leave
Pennsylvania with all her coal and iron inter-
ests, far in the wake. Mr.. Filadelfy please be
q little more careful.
