An application for a charier for a ferry across the
Mississippi, at this place, has been made to the Co. Com
miigtttßn by Mr. Launder Wells, one of our wide
awake citizens.' He » now preparing his boats, one of
which is to be 18x55 feet; he will commence opera
tions about the first of May. Persons going to St.
Paul with teams from this quarter, will save six or
eight mil es by taking this ferry, and save making the
ferry at St. Paul. This enterprise is one of the links
that are gradually being formed to connect the back
conntry to Niningec: the inducements to trade and
travel will be solid and substantial, to draw people here,
before long, that cannot be found in any other town on
the river. That’s what it is to have the right kind of
citizens to carry ou t a good project.
Continued aotivity prevails in all kinds of business
in this town. All the buildings we have heretofore
referred to are going on witb, some others have been
commenced, and more arc projected to be commenced
sOOn. The Baptist Church is now under way ; a com
mittee of seven, consisting of Messrs. Cressy, A. Reed,
Case, Miller, Hickman, Carle, and S. Caleff, into whose
bands the entire control has been placed, to raise money
.and apply it to the erection of the building, have been
uppaittted. We regard its early completion as settled
under this able management.
Mr. Hfllhouse’S Livery Exchange is already framed
wnd makes an imposing appearance.
The Good Templar’s Hall is being enclosed; they
intend to hold a Festival on tbe occasion of opening it,
which will be some time in May.
Mr. Brookman has moved in here from Empire City
where he kept a large hotel, and has purchased lumber
to build a large house.
Mr. Jackson has 3beei> hauling stone to put up an
other building alongside of his present stone house.
• What more is going on we cannot say, as we have to
up our news aoy way we can, and find it useless
to rely on others to keep us posted, and we might occu
py all our time in such service.
Mini Offer Lyceum.
A very interesting Essay ou Geology was read be
fnjp the Society on Monday last, by L. N. Countryman
It was listened to attentivelyhy an interested
audience, for over an hour. At its close, it was deemed
. advisable to again adjourn the discussion on the Loan
a Bill to the next meeting, and a little time was occupied
speaking on the subject of tbe Essay, between its
author and some other members.
It is now getting late in the season for such enter
miusents, business is being resumed in all departments,
; uad the gardens and such out-door employment takes
up the attention that was before fixed upon in-door
•excitements —and lycenm?, dancing, and such like, are
not .so inviting this lovely weather as they were when
irarm sfcftcosy rooms were in demand. A slim atten
dance is all that may be expected at the meetings if
they are to he continued much longer.
It is gratifying to look back on tbe evenings that
have been so profitably spent in the Lyccnm the past
season. They have made the winter seem as pleasant
aud cheerful to a large number of persons as any of
-.those When business was prosperous. The meetings',have
Wtftogtheoed social bands that are so generally loose in
new places at the West. Its members have been much
improved in their exercises; which have left gratificat
ion at the good effect that resulted therefrom. But
above all, tbe uninterrupted harmony and good feeling
, (hat have prevailed throughout, is the highest tribute
can be paid to tbe intelligence and courteousness
*«of all Who took part in the discussions, which were
. often exciting..
.It is certain that the Society will be looked for in
<fhe fall as an indispensable institution, and to it will
be attracted the new element that will come in here
lin the meantime, and with its present members, will
be in a position to enlarge its sphere of usefulness—
-probably to erect a fine hall and establish a library.
* • < Nlnlßfer Boys’ Lyceum.’
The boys of this town held their sixth meeting this
*ireek Wednesday and discussed the’quest ion of Country
•or City Life, the former of which was sustained by W.
iEaton, F. Mabee, W. Callahan and A. McMullen and
King; the latter by S. King, A. Fish, J. Hand, H.
Jfaod, P. Callahan., and P. Fish. After being spiritedly
nfiecmssed it was submitted to the jury, who decided foi
die eountry party. The following oncers were elected,
—President, W. Eaton ; Vie£ P., J. Hand ; Sec., A.
Pish ; Treasurer, B. Mabee. At the next meeting the
% question, ‘ Does Washington detitrve more praise than

We would call particular attention to the ad
vertisement of Messrs. Cheney & Clark'S > n another col
umn. it is relative to a cheap and excellent Roofing
for buildings for which tftey bold aitexclusiV’e right for
the State of Minnesota. We have no occasion to speak
of these gentlemen)to our citizens, as to their abilities
upd qualifications, but those at a distance who desire
to transact business in their line, may iely on their
assurances as to the character of the patent, and on
the execution of the work they may do.
Mr. Cressy holds a spelling school in bis school room
on Saturday evenings. We understand they have been
n source of pleasure and profit to his pupils and others.
It is a gratifying to have such amusements, and we
hope the opportunity will be improved by all who wish
to be thorough in the accomplishment of spelling.

The City ef NlMager-lls Rise, Pregrem and
Prospect a.
Niu inner is situated on the west bank of the Mississip
pi 25 miles below St. Pan. by water, and 17 miles by
land, (ferrying at Niningcr )
Those who visit Niningcr now and recollect the ap
pearance of the landscape w hen they paused to admire
it eigh teen months ago will -urcly exclaim, ‘ truth is
slrai ff. r than fiction.’ Wen* i not for the indelible im
pres >o<t made on their minds by the rare beauty of the
loca’ * >i and its proiuiueni landmarks assuring them it
was u same spot, they could scarcely believe that in so
shor a joriod a thriving town of seven hundred inhabi
tant * old arise, where on tbeir previous visit they could
only discern two lonely dwellings. Part of this aston
ishing progress, be it noted, has been realised during a
re.vulsiou almost unparalleled, aud while other places
were stationary or retrograding.
The natural advantages of the spot a? a site for a
large city are such as could not long have been over
looked. A party of shrewd business 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 themsJvcs 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 hia stipulated improvement»
were put up t no man who bought at coat price could get n
legally perfect Title Deed for hia lota. Some lots were
reserved by the proprietors, and sold at high prices with
out an improvement clause. Tbe Deeds for these are
perfect.
It is also tbe most accessible point to tbe vast tracts
of laud of unsurpassed richness in the heantiful valleys
of the Cannon, Ycrmilliou and Straight rivers. The
distance to die flourishing towns back of us is as follows
—Caunou Fails 16 miles, Lewiston 27, Waterford 27,
North field 29, Faribault 85, Rosemount 10, Lakeville
20, Sbieldsville 30 miles.
The location of Niningcr is an admirable one for a
distributing river town, and the settlers in tbe fertile
valleys of the Vermillion and Cannon rivers, and the
Cottage Grove district, congratulate each other on the
advent of a river town at the precise point best suited
for their wants. We have already two Saw-mills and a
Sash, Door and Blind Factory. All tbe machinery for
a first rate new Grist mill is on the spot, and the mill
will soon be doing tbe farmers some service. There are
Carpenters, Plasterers, Blacksmiths, Wheelrights and
Shoemakers. Grocery and Dry Good stores, Stove and
Tip-ware and Hat, Cap, and Shoe stores. The Nininger
Lime is in high repute. The clay for Brickmakiug 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 has 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 Maohine shop; an Agricul
tural Implement Manufactory; a General Hardware
store; a merchant Tailor; an Apothecary; a Book
seller and Stationer; a Hair Dresser; 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 suo
cess. During the season of navigation steam packets
pass tbe 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 work going on than at Ninin
ger.
We doubt if there is another place in the whole coun
try where the revulsion of trade last year has been felt
so lightly as in this town. If it did interfere with the
prosperity of the town somewhat, and stopped the pro
gress of certain classes of business, its effect on tbe
spirits had hopes of the people was hardly perceived.
They have kept busy—usefully employed—and enjoyed
themselves heartily, but temperately. A regular weekly
dance has been kept up two evenings, in the fine large
room in Tremont Hall—the second ope was started be
cause the attendance was too large to allow many to efh
joy it all they desired. Both of them close precisely
at 12 o’clock. It may be mentioned to tfie credit of
our town, and especially to their managers, that no
indulgence in spirituous liquors has taken place on any
occasion of pnblic festivity, there has, consequently,
been no disturbance or riotous proceedings through all
the winter.
The past of a town is often an index of its future,
particularly where that past has depended on internal
force and not on fortuitous circumstances. Where,
however, a town has grown because it has been borne
up by the general mJyauce of tbe country, and has had
no rivals to contend against, no argument is furnished
for its future success when arrayed against active ap4
energetic rivals. In the history of Nininger it mast be
observed that it has attained its present position in the
face of tbe opposition of the then most prosperous town
in Minnesota. Its strength has thus been thoroughly
tested. It has also been effected by the worst possible
condition of monetary affairs, the late crisis. It
must therefore be borne in mind that onr past career
has not beep one of easy ar.d natural growth- We have
had to fight our way against all kinds of obstacles, and
whatever we haye achieved 3$ been by perseverance
and determination.
What better pledge can wc offer the new-comer for
our future than the mere rec td of these facts. Such a
crisis as that of 1857 is not again expected to occur ip
the next twenty years. The opposition we at first en
countered is every day growing less.
Now let us examine wbat resources we have for the
fature.
In the first place, we anticipate fairly and reasonably,
a proper share of that growth which it is hoped the
coming spring will bring to the whole of the great West.
In the next place, one material fact which militated
greatly against us in the past, will ddring the coming
spring be obviated, tiz : the opposition heretofore ex
perienced from the steamboats. This will be removed
in two ways;—first, by the fact that Nininger is now
tpxde an advertised point at which the mail boats must
leave the mail,—-and it is tfre determination of many of
our citizens to take legal measures against the piail con
tractors if they fail to perform their duty; secondly,
our Town Council contemplate at once extending the
levee to 4 Bassett’s Landing, 4 which will at once remove
all possible objections on the part of the steamboats to
landing here, for it is a fell known fact that for seven
years past 4 Bassett’s Landing’ has held a reputa
tion among steamboat captains as a landing mace,' and
that too, long before a town was thought of inpjr ( e.
In the third place, the emigrant who visits oiijr jtown
during the coming year, will find our citizep busy in
majfcigg various ornamental and useful improvement?.
He will see the fork on the levee going on; he will see
various streets being graded* b e SW see board walks
being built around some of the madp blocks, apd he fijl
see that all these works distribute among the citizens a
large amount of money, irhi.eh must redound to the
prosperity of the whole place.
In the next place, a careful examination of the im
provement clauses contained iu the deeds of those who
bought under the covenant set forth above, will convince
any one that a large amount of benefit will be derived
to the town from that source alone. Between two and
three hundred thousand dollars worth of improvement
are to be made under those covenants. Whether these
have to be made at once, or in proportionate parts dur
ing the coming one or two years, they will nevertheless
dd materially to the growth of the town.
* In the next ‘place, although the great depression in
money affairs has made all railroad projects a matter of
uncertainty and doubt, and although it has fallen with
particular weight upon our own railroad enterprise,
nevertheless we still hope that with the return of better
times, the Nininger and St. Peter Railroad Stock may,
under the inducements set forth in an adjoining oolump,
be disposed of If this is not effected, the attempt,
backed up by every effort, will at least be made, and
the scheme ouly abandoned wheu it has proved ntterly
impracticable. We have in our town a great number
of Eastern and Western interests, and among our siticepa
a greater number of intelligent individuals that any
other town in the West of the same size, can boast off
and in these we find a strong assurance not only for ip
urging on of the Railroad enterprise, hat for th&jpml
prosperity cud advance of the town, fiojflf clear
minded and energetic men cannot the in
terests of the town to slumber. *£o* *
We would close by remarkim/lKt passengers on tjbe

the river. Those who f«t any interest in it should
therefore land and proceed!© the Handy side House,
