scnts . very neat typographical appear
anee. The editor SAYS nothing whatever
in this number with'reg4rd to tho politi-
cal positio. of his paper, bnt devotes .
great portion of his space to local news.
We clip the following items:
~ Those Who participated in the
pleasure excursion to St. Cnud, last Sat-
urday, on the Gutter, aver that they had
4 ''grand old tine." Good enough for
them.
On D1r.-One Of our Bankers, it il
said, has become the recipient Of . fortune
Of Seventy Thousand Dollars. No enc

who would do Likewise in their behalf.

to be at once taken to memorable Con-
gress for an adequate appropriation -
Should this fail, then let m effort bs
made mex: Winter to get State sppro.
priation. Will our up river friends have
an eye to this in the selection Of their
next Legislative representatives.
