The present number of the Gazette completes three years since we came into possession of the office. During that time we have endeavored so to conduct it as to make the paper a source of useful information to our country friends, having in all cases, when pressed for room by an extensive advertising patronage, given the preference to NEWS over light reading. This may have made the Gazette less interesting to our town readers than it might otherwise have been, but the tone of approval accorded from all parts of the county assures us that we pur sued the proper course. Since the adoption of our system of receiving no new subscribers without payment of a year s subscription in advance, and striking from oui i list a large number who probably never intended to pay, we have found it works so well that we i shall adhere to it as rigidly as ever. We *uve a considerable amount of money , standing on our books for advertising and job . work—all of which ought long since to have been paid. Will those who know themselves indebted see to the liquidation of these accounts r As to the future, we have but little to say. j Our past course indicates what it will be ; and if improvement in type or enlargement of the paper be called for, it can only be accomplished by prompt payment of all dues, whether sub scription, advertising, or job work. We have enough outstanding to pay for making material ! improvements, but we unhesitatingly say that we shall never go into debt to make them. Five Irishmen were arrested at this place a few days since, charged with having committed a rape in Jnniata county. Another prisoner in our jail gave leg-bail to the keeper on Wednesday morning. We begin to think that the concern had better be shut up, j and the county saved the expenses incident to a building ol the kind. The Hollidaysburg Register has put on a new dress, in which we hope it will attract lots of beaux and btlles in the shape of subscribers and ; advertisers. Miss FILLMORE, a daughter of the Vice Presi dent of the United States, recently received an appointment as teacher in one of the public schools of Buffalo, and is now acting in that ca- j pacity. How striking an illustration of the j simplicity of our Republican institutions! —the lather the second officer of the greatest re public on earth, and the daughter a teacher in a public school ! Miss Fillmore received her education at the State Normal school. COURT or INQUIRY. —A Military Court of In quiry, consisting of Major General R. C. Hale, of Lewistown, Gen. Jas. G. Reed, of Gettys burg, and Gen. Samuel D Karns, of Harris burg, met in Bloom Geld on Thursday afternoon, the 11th instant. The object *of the Court, the Freeman says, was to inquire into the legality of the votes cast for Major General of the Divi sion composed of the counties of Perry, Cum berland and Franklin —exceptions having been taken to the issuing of the commission to Gen. Fetter by the friends of Major Biddle. The Court adjourned on Friday evening, to meet in Harrisburg on the second Monday of January next. Notices of Advertisements.

AFFAIRS IN MINESOTA. —The St. Paul Chron icle and Register, of September 22, gives vari ! ous correspondents sundry information in re- j gard to Minesota and its capabilities. We copy a portion of its remarks : " Minesota is a good country. All it wants is improvement. Nature has done her part ; well, and we know of no place where a man can do better with the same labor and means Capital can be invested profitably in various ways. The farming business we think the at present, as we have yet but few farmers, and produce is high. This state of things-must con tinue for some time to come, as the increased demand will keep pace with the supply. There is no richer soil in the world, nor a country bet ter adapted to all kinds of farming than the " Prairie" between here and Point Douglass. "The winters are long, it is true, but the ground is invariably covered with snow, six or j eight inches deep, from December until .March. ; It is cold, but dry, and good sleighing during j the winter. Very little mud at any time, as the soil is composed of loam and black sand. There is less wind than in Illinois during the winter; and all those who have been here dur ing the winter prefer it to a more southern lati- I tude, w here the weather is more variable. "Mechanics of almost all kinds are wanted, especially house builders. Enterprising arti zans of small means could acquire property arid grow up with the country. The lumber busi ness is becoming one of great importance ; it ! might now be profitably extended, and still . mure as the population increases. With regard to mercantile pursuits, we think the prospect ! not equal to many other avocations, the capital now employed being equal to the demand ; but as numbers increase, so will the demand for merchandise it" I">>l* :* R 111 I) 11' ID.—l.
