THE survey Of the State Line r. r., from
Superior to an intersection with the Nor
them Pacific r. R., was completed last
week. The junction with the n. P. was
made at the point where that road takes a
direct westerly course from the L. S. &
M. r. r. The distance from here to the
junction is 2255 miles. From Duluth to the
same point by rail is q miles. Therefore
the State Line r. r., when completed,
will be a aight-forward continuation of
the N. z. r. f., into Superior, over an
easy, almost level grade, and A miles
shorter than by any other route to the
Lake.

addition to his residence in Middletown.
MESS. Klien d Decemval have lately en-
larged and added many improvements to
their brewery in Uppertown. They have
built, with stone walls and arched roof, the
largest basement cellar at the head of the
lake, to be used for storage purposes.
Ephraim Bruno is erecting for himself
lots lately purchased by him. We wish
more of our citizens would follow the exam
pie of Mr.. Bruno-that is, purchase lot
or two, build upon it, and become the owner
oftheir own home. Many of them are able,
pecuniarily, to DO 50; they only lack the
nerve. Now is the time for every man who
intends to make Superior his home, to get
hold of piece Of ground on which to build
Property will probably never be cheaper
here. while not the least uncertainty can exist
in the mind of any one as to the steady and
continual growth and prosperity of our
town.
John T. Morgan's new dwelling house

that it lacks now to insure its entire res
probability is a coat of paint.
In the new Court House the windows
have been placed, and it has received one
coat of paint-color white.
Two rooms of the Graded School House
are being finished on the lower floor to ac-
commodate the larger scholars of the town
the coming winter. Mr. Schultz, the clerk
of the District, who is now below, will we
understand, endeavor to procure a first class
teacher for the winter term.

Mr.. SAVER of this place laid upon our
table, last week, the largest head of cauli-
flower, we have ever seen. 1t was raised
in his garden, and we have never seen its
equal. even in the markets of ST. Louis.
An inspection Of the gardens of our citizens
would convince the most skeptical Of the
productiveness of our soil. We would
recommend visitors to convince themselves
by ocular demonstration, and we would
mention those Of Mr. Sayer and especially
the one cultivated by Mr.. Hunter Of this
place as perfect specimens of the art of
vegetable gardening, and convincing evil
dence of the fertility of Douglas County.

hoping for republican government since
tho expulsion Of Queen Isabella, is again

publican sentiment prevailing cannot
be suppressed. Conflicts have oc-
Cured between republicans and Csrlists

upon the Holy City, with no Napoleon or
French troops to block the way, and with
every prospect OF success in their under
taking. In Austria the establishment of
