Census of Winona Prairie and Town Proper

The third of December was so delightful and refreshing in its character, that it lured us forth from heated rooms, and scribbling, to breathe invigorating air, and we thought it a good time to take a census of the Prairie. Mr. A. P. Foster offered to assist us, and we commenced at Dr. Baleorcomb's, taking the account of new and old buildings, with the number of inmates, visiting every house in town to Mr. Zeyes, at the extreme eastern point of the plain.

(Note, only number of inmates in buildings given here.)
