s1lNNEsoTA GROWN LARarR.

A curious and interesting discovery
has just been made in tho department
Of state, bearing upon the boundary
line between the State of Minnesota
and the British Provinces. From time
imn'emorial. Ill the maps that have
come before the public, haye#rep' esent-
ed the dividing line as barely touching
the utmost southern extremity Of the
Lake Of the Woods, and then passing
directly to the westward. A recent
investigation Of the maps and treaty
touching the matter have brought to
light the fact that the boun ny line. at
ter reaching the lake passes through
one half Of its centre, tftrcc wes,wa.a
up an extensive bay orarm, then direct
ly south again, until it reaches the
main meridian, aud then continues to
the west. The upshot Of The Story is,
that some cute men have nIede it known
that Minnesota has big lump Of vul.
liable land which she cid MT know: be-
longed to her, and that she has full
command of the Lake Of the Woods

Elegant SrYLE.-Thc personal
controversy which has been kept ep for
several years between the st. Paul
Press and Faribault Eepub';can, in
which both parties have displayed more
acrimony than good Judgment, broke
out alresh short time since. This
result was produced by an editorial in
the former, and now Brown opens the
wills Of his wrath upon Wheclock's
head in terms Of which the following
are choice samples: 'Demagosues'

TONS ''mi*erahlc rimp Of the politi-

"malignant.les and infamous Islander"

quietude and. lack of war news, such
articles as, those from which the above

n'ers to i!ant every available here of

!h'rraSsmcu,s a'eS;Etethcr too highly col
rted, yet THE spirit of the article is
;;oi't. u is in the power Of the far
'hers Of the country to greatly tighten
The burdens Of the war by drawing
from the soil those resources which it.
seldom refuses to yield to skill and la
Dor. The improved agricultural ma
chinery now in use will enable few
men to do the work once requiring
many, and in this way the scarcity Of
help will not be so severely felt. Still
1t will b.. necessary for those cultiva-
ting farms to work hard, commencing
early and ending late, and to, literally,
>l,;>ve no stone uuturncl'' in their en-
beavers to make next seasons crop
most bounteous. lA!l ground that has
previously been titled must he planted,
and new sod broken. {
From tabular statement published

'4er. the year 1852, we ind that Mime:

conversant with the yield of the staples

The f Surcs arc at the minimum rather
than average. But as it is, they are

no other State that sh ,ws .as heavy: a

utmost exertions to make every acre
contribute its proportion t6ward~fecd-

tic danger Of having an over!lus; but
even should there be, ''old wheat" will
DC found as good as gold to constitute
