K tillage r Lyceum. The attendance at the Lyceum last Monday evening was not as large as usual, probably owing to the ques- tion of debate being regarded uninteresting. It should be the aim of the Society, as far as possible, to take up questions that have some general interest, so that every one attending tuay be benefited. Some questions are too thread-bare, and others too one-sided, to afford grat ification to speakers or audience, while others rest so entirely on some one fact of law or custom, as to afford no scope to the speakers, and consequently, no spirit to their remarks. Whatever will interest an audience and animate the debaters, are always the proper subjects for Lyceums to discuss. Such as these will deve’ope the latent powers of all who take part in them, and stir them to put forth their utmost efforts, as they become warmed up ia the debate. The Society has certainly progressed finely ; the at tendance of citizens has been complimentary ; most of the speakers show improvement, and all have done well. Those who feared, yet tried, are no longer embarrassed ; those who desired to try, but held back, are just where they always will remain, so far as public speaking is concerned, until they make the effort. In regard to the harmony prevailing, it has been pleas ant throughout; but little that was objectionable has ever escaped the lips of members, even in the heat of debate, and no occasion has been taken to refer back to any word or act of any member as ungentlemanly ; the Society steadily pursues a course that keeps all impro prieties in restraint—by giving them no encouragement. The question debated was, ‘ Should the Fugitive Slave Law be respected and obeyed ?’ which was vigorously attacked and defended by a well divided body of speak ers, each part of whom were earnestly alive to the just ness of their position. Some excellent things were said on both sides, and the usual amount of merriment was enjoyed by the ‘ hits,’ occasionally made. The jury gave the debate to the negative. Mr. Countryman was appointed by the chairman, Mr. Case, to give a declamation next week. A question that has caused some talk in and out of tbe Society, was adopted for debate next Monday even ing, viz., * Does reason or revelation teach that man is inherently possessed of an immortal soul ?’ It was feared, at first, that it would turn on some unmeaning theological point, or covertly attack the Christian re velation ; but the proposer claimed to he an evangelical believer, and said his grounds were that there was no authority for accepting the point of general belief, eith er in the Bible or reason, and it would be well to look into the matter to test it. It was therefore adopted, and the disputants appointed—Mr. Countryman on the Affirmative, and Mr. Macdonald on the negative. New kind or Bridge —Mr. J. Frost who has always been prompt and punctual in providing a mode of crossing the river at this place and elsewhere above and below us, has entirely disappointed everybody this winter. Our citizens, giving him up, set about the completion of his work io novel style, last Friday; a party of men, cut out about half an acre of ice, and floated it down the open channel to a point where t hey wished to cross, whose width they had calculated, where it became tightly wedged, forming a convenient cause way. No less than fifty men are engaged cutting wood ijr-this place, most of whom have to cross daily to the island opposite, where their work is going od. Immense stacks of cord wood now line the edge of the island, ready for the steamboats in the spring. Other large piles are stored for next winter’s use. Probably twice iho ordinary amount of wood has been cut and banked tliis year than any previous year. The increased de. maud, judging from past years will be from thirty to fifty per c<*nt. A large amount has been cut and stacked to be kept over the next, in expectation that prices will lie down. But we apprehend that the price will not be lower in proportion, as its eost to get it cut and banked h?s been less than usual. School Excursion —The school in this place, un der the charge of Mr. Creasy, was treated by the es teetned gentleman and teacher to a delightful excursion on Saturday last. Mr. Creasy provided a fine four-horse team, in which all his scholars who were inclined, were taken to Hastings, where they spent a few hours with the scholars at Mr. Traver’s school, in their Saturday .exercises of declamation and reci‘ation. Afterwards ' tihey rode out to the Vermillion Falls, when they re turned home delighted as only happy children can be with their excursion. Mr. Cressy deserves much praise for the judicious course he has pursued with his school training. In this instance he has combined much use ful information with healthful exercise, and in their delight attached his scholars to him and their school. Financial —We hope to keep our readers fully posted up on Eastern financial matters, having made arrange ments for special correspondence from headquarters (Wall street, New York.) We shall also have interest ing general correspondence from the same source. Our Bee Line. Our citizens should be up and doing so as not to be liehin 1 with the bridge and ferry, which will be so much wanted in the spring. This spot must eventually be the great place of crossing for the travel to St Paul, the Cottage Grove district and Stillwater. The required link in the chain is demanded of us, and while we are laudably enough planning other and more expensive i n provetnents, we must be careful not to lose sight of this matter, which of itself will have a great tendency to make Niniuger popular and prosperous. Argus Nininger, Feb. 10th, lßsd. Always suspect a man who affects great softness of manner, an unruffled evenness of temper, and an enun ciation studied and deliberate. These things sro ail tto watura', and bespeak a discipline into which he that has no purpose of craft or design to answer cannot submit A Wtrd «• Emigrants. Editor Emigrant Aid Journal: Sir t As I understand your Journal is intended to aid emigrants to Minnesota, I think it may not be amiss to have in it special articles from time to time, caution- I ing emigrants to beware of being iuveigled into, or en tangled with schemes, projected by putties strangera to them, and perhaps governed too much by selfish motives. Next spring the bulk of the emigration is likely to consist of persous, to whom the judicious investment of every dollar is of csseutial consequence; and, Sir, I think that the position you occupy is one, the responsi bility of which cannot well be over-estimated. Suppose for a moment, that you should unguai dedly endorse any project of an evidently premature description, and not likely to be fully carried out; why, sir, your doing so, might be the cause of ruin to hundreds of families. Or, suppose you know of any schemes projected by parties known to be mere speculators, and likely after they have got what money they can out of them, to leave the undertakings to take care of themselves; then, sir, 1 am glad to say, I have no doubt your Journal will be found faithful to the emigrant. Persons from the East should be sure to inquire iuto the reputation of the leading parties commencing new undertakings of a plausible nature before investing therein, and if they find that the projectors are men who are known to faith fully do all in their power to see these undertakings honestly carried ont, so as to redeem all their pledges made at starting, then the emigrate may go-ahead with a fair chance of success. But if, on the contrary, strangers are foolish enough to place their money under the control of any man, or any set of men, who are known to require watching, to see that they unwaver ingly carry out to the letter what they promise, (when it is practicable for them to do so,) then they will be likely soon to realize the force of the saying that a ‘ fool and his money are soon parted,’ coupled with the con solation that they have themselves to blame for their rashness. Emigrants should beware of all projects which, at first sight, strike them as being of a visionary character, and not allow tbemsalves to be talked into such. They will generally find it advisable to abide by their first impressions, and let them remember the ad vice of Dr. Franklin : ‘At a great bargain—pause.’ There are abundance of opportunities for investment in Minnesota; than which no better have ever been presented ‘o emigrants. To your paper they will look for impartial information regarding many of these, and as you stick to your business, they are not likely to be disappointed. * Forearmrd — Forewarned.’ Nminger, Feb. 10, 1858. From Our Boston Correspondent. He discussrth the weather and prospect* of business—Re ktteth the tribulation of Mr. Samuel Lawrence , and speuketh highly of Herr Formes—He mentioneth the success if'the Ravels , and the election of Mr. Stevens as Serycant-ut arms. . .. .. . Boston. Feb. Ist, 1858. Mr. Editor : As a general thing I am much op posed to newspaper correspondents burdening the read ers with prosaic accounts of the weather, for lack of en tertaining ideas with which to interest and amuse them But I trust you will pardon my deviation from this rule while I discant a little on tbe extraordinary winter with which we have thus far been blessed. To-day chroni cles on the great dial plate of the seasons the commence ment of the third and last winter mouth. Four weeks more and the much dreaded season will have passed. The weather for the last two months has been *almost unexceptionable, blending tbe mildness of April with tbe beauty of October, it has been a perfect Godsend to the poor, aud seems as though it were expressly in tended by the Creator to cousole the misfortunes and comfort the distresses of those who have felt most severely the effects of tbe hard times Although theie is'an unusual degree of poverty iu our large cities, the amount falls far below what we had reason to anticipate, and with the aid extended by the wealthy aud charita ble, the winter will pass, attended with no more than the ordiuary quota of suffering. Business is gradually improving with us, although comparatively little is doing as yet. There is some un easiness felt by our merchants and manufacturers for fear that much of the extended paper, which matures in April and May, will not be promptly met. But all hope for the best, and there is considerable encouragement in the fact that many who have asked for exieusions are liquidating their debts in full, and taking up their notes before they are due. 1 am sorry to mention the sudden departure of our ‘once merchant prince’ Mr. Samuel Lawrence. Being accused, as it is well known, of appropriating to his own use money belonging to several corporations with whose business he was intrusted, he was suddenly missing one fine day, and the first news heard from him was, that on board a British steamer, under the disguised uaiue of Monroe he was making his escape to Liverpool. At last accounts he was travelling iu France, and was recog nized by an American gentleman who met bim at the dinner table of a hotel. How mortifying such a flight must have been to him—a Lawrence—whose name alone was a synonym of mercantile honor and integrity. What a blot is this upon the escutcheon of a family which has produced an Amos and au Abbott, the rep resentative types of model, upright, business men. It is said that Samuel ha* carried an ample fortune with him, but bad be all the wealth of the Indies iu his pos session, it would not allow him to enjoy again the sweets of a clear conscience and an unblemished reputation. Within a few days our lovers of music have enjoyed the privilege of listening to the voice of the great bauo singer, Herr Formes. He appeared, in connection with the Handel and Hayden society, of this city, in the oratorios of Elijah and the Creation, ou Saturday and Sunday evenings, (Jan. 23d and 24th,) at the Music Hall. He captivated the audience as much by his un assuming and modest demeanor, as by the marvellous powers of his voice. Unlike other noted singers, who attend only to their own part of the performance, indif ferent to the success of their supporters, Formes listened with the utmost attention to every singer, testifying his approbation by loud applause and hearty ‘ bravos/ when the. performer did well. Four boys with admirable voices liaving rendered a song with great beauty, Formes springing to his feet with enthusiasm patted tbeiu kind ly on the head and encouraged them to persevere in their efforts. Such disinterestedness commend* him at once to all. The famous Ravel troupe have been drawing crowded aud Luces at the Boston Theatre, for the past two or three weeks. The nimble Jerouie met with a fall the other night, while performing, which broke two of his ribs. He finished his part, however, but will be unable to appear again for « fortnight. The Legislature is now in session at the State Hopi As yet very little has been accompli: hed, much ti: having beeu absorbed in choosing a Sergeant-at-arun Benj ituin Stevens who has filled the office with credi for the past twenty-nine years was finally re-elected, though a strong movement wae made this year t,o tu him out. But in spite of much lobbying and jogrojl' on the part of aspiring politicians, the old veteran once more retains bis place. Yours truly, Eobekt. Tbe Tribune Almanac for ism.

Nininger is situated on the west bank of the Mississip pi 25 miles below St. Paul by water, and 17 miles by land, (ferrying at Nininger.) Those who visit Nininger now and recollect the ap pearance of the landscape when they paused to admire it eighteen mouths ago will surely exclaim, * truth is atrauger than fiction/ were it not for the indelible im pression made on their minds by the rare beauty of the location and its prominent landmarks assuring them it was the same spot, they could scarcely believe that in so short a period a.thriviug towu of seven hundred inhabi tants could arise, where on their previous visit they oould only discern two lonely dwellings. Part of this aston ishing progress, be it noted, has been realised during a revulsion almost unparalleled, and while other places were stationary of retrograding. The natural advantages of the spot as a site for a large city are such as could not long have been over looked. A party of shrewd I usiness men determined to turn these natural advantages to account, and went to work in the right way. They sold building lots at cost price to parties who bound theme /vet by covenant to put up a certain amount of improvements within two years, or forfeit the lots. They gave due publicity to the pro ject, and as every lot sold at cost price would within two years call forth a stipulated amount of improve ments, the certainly of the town getting a good start was beyond a doubt. Till hit ttipulatetl improvement* were put up, uo man who bought at coet price could get a legally perfet Title Deed /or hit loft. Some lots were reserved by the proprietors, and sold at high prices with out an improvement clause. The Deeds for these are perfect. It is also the most accessible point to the vast tracts of land of unsurpasred richness in the beautiful valleys of the Cannon, Vermillion and Straight rivers. The distuuce to the flourishing towns back of us is as follows —Cannon Falls 16 miles, Lewiston 27, Waterford 27, Nortbfield 29, Faribault 35, Rosemount. 10, Lakeville 20, Shieldsville 30 miles. j The location of Niningcr is an admirable one for a distributing river town, and the settlers in the fertile valleys of the Vertuilliou and Cannon rivers, and the Cottage Grove district, congratulate each other on the ; advent of a river town at the precise point best suited 1 for their wants. We have already two Saw mills and a Sash, Door an t Blind Factory. All the machinery for a first rate new Grist miil is on the spot, and the mill will soon be doing the farmers some service. There are i Carpenters, Plasterers, Blacksmiths, Wheelrigbts and Shoemakers Grocery and Dry Good stores. Stove and Tin-ware and Hat, Cap, and Shoe stores. The Nininger Lime is in high repute. The clay for Brickmaking is firstrate, and two of our citizens intend making Bricks next spring. The building stone is excellent. There is abundance of timber for firewood near at hand, and we learn that coal bus been found about twenty miles south* west. * We have Schools and a Lyceum, and divine ser* vice every Sabbath by clergymen of the leading denom inations. Here the Emigrant Aid Journal is publish ed. There are favorable opportunities for parties to commence business. A wholesale Grocery and Provis ion store; a Foundry and Machine shop; an Agricul tural Implement Manufactory; a General Hardware store; a Merchant Tailor; an Apothecary; a saddler; a Gunsmith, and a Forwarding and Commission estab lishment are required, and many other businesses could be established here with reasonable probability of suc cess. During the season of navigation steam packets pass the town daily. Building lots can be bought on easy terms, so that persons of moderate means can get along with less capital than is required to settle at many places where there is less woik going on than at Ninin ger. There has been uo uudue inflation in the price of town properry here. N. B. As there is only a small part of the town seen from the river, strangers should land to view it proper ly at the Handyside House, where they will find every comfort, it being oue of the best hotels in the country.
