BILE experience in rendering it in public When
properly presented the Haymakers is one of the
finest compositions of the kind in American
musical literature, the music being of alively
and brilliant character, with considerable of the
humorous type interspersed. By the use of
new scenery, farming implements, rural cos
tunes and other accessories, the stage will
closely resemble real bayfield,. The scenery
is now in the hands of competent artist, and
Mr.. Hodgkins informs us that no pains will be
spared to make the representation perfect in
all its details, and highly satisfactory to the
public.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES,
The Northwest.

With surprising rapidity this portion of our
country is becoming settled and filed up with
population full of thrift and enterprise,
wherein the New England element is largely
predominant. 1t is estimated that fully 70 600
people have gone into Minnesota and perma-
nently settled since the first of July, 1870. The
greater proportion of these people have gone
to that part of the State which lies from 100 to
$50 miles west and northwest of st. Paul and
Minneapolis country which, till within
few years, was considered hardly habitable, and
was only occupied by rowing bands of predatory
Indians. Although the State of Minnesota
possesses very productive soil to induce rapid
settlement, still the great reason of its speedy
growth is the wonderful development of rail-
road communication throughout the State. 1t
was only in 1862 that the first rail was laid in
Minnesota, but to-day there are over two thou
sand miles of railroad building and in opera
ton. The Northern Pacific railroad have now
about $50 miles of running road in the State,
and have over 400 miles more contracted for.
to be built on or before the LIST of January, 1873
The first active operations of this road towards
building was commenced July LIST, 1870, and
the rapidity with which it has been built to the
Red River of the North, is only marked in
stance of what American enterprise can do
Owing to the eminent character of the man.
agement of Northern Pacific railroad, the COM
pany are ienabled to obtain abundant aid,
through the sale of their bonds for the contin-
ued building of the road to the Pacific coast,
and before JAN LIST, 1873, fully 1900 miles will
be completed, and in running operation, thus
giving railroad communication to the Winni-
peg country, by its northern branch to Pembi-
na and to Montana territory by its main line
extended to the upper Missouri river.
