Wanted the proposed transporting

along a frozen rivera heretofore
unknown feat, it claims-the object
Of the removal being to place the
town among some hills that lend
themselves admirably to the pur-
pose of Notifications, thus securing
a-valuable military station. 1t will
undoubtedly be quite a feat to ac-
complish such a task, and if the
Russian engineers find any hitch in
their plans they a sur1nount the
difficulties by reference to a similar
undertaking successfully accom-
plished in the state of Illinois,
namely, the moving of the town of
Nauvoo over a frozen river. In the
course of three winters this was
done, and 700 houses were trans
ported, and new town, nova pros

Russian newspapers can boast of the

towns, but it is a pleasure to know
that the United States long ago an
