the Black Hills has furnished $4,000 of

passed by the Senate, defines ~ its bound
aries rs paralleiogram extending fro4
Minnesota distance OF about 400 nils
to Montana and from British possessions
200 miles south to the boundary of " hat
will be Dakota Territory and will contain
an area of about 10000 square miles, and
= population, of about 10000; leaving
Dakota with area OF oJ,o32 square miles.
The bill has been worrying for four years
and finally has gone into the House for its
action, which we hope will be favorable.
Notwithstanding lac prevalent dullness
of the times, the eDtamarcial review of
the transactions il Milwaukee for the past
! year evidences a Substantial condition and
steady progress, although the receipts Of
wheat and corn has been less than last
year Ali other grain has increased, and
the excess Of flour over that of last year is
upwards of 100000 barrels, ANY iadi-
cations of healthy condition of COM
mercial transactions is gratifying, under
the gloomy depression that prevails in our
mids. so far away from our commercial
centers, and affords q crumb 0f comfort, al
least.
