It is indeed very unfortunate; but the evil will be soon in a measure obviated, as we are to have two large breweries put up this summer. Messrs Young & May intend putting up a building soon for this purpose, two and one half stories high, and fifty feet long. Joseph Fritz is also preparing to build, for the manufacture of the delicious beverage, and intends making an article that will please the tastes of the most fastidious of his customers.

The Brewery of Messrs. Young & (Charles) May, is up and enclosed, and they are daily expecting the arrival of the Machinery, necessary for the manufacture of beer. Fritz & Co., are also far advanced with their brewery. It is needless for us to add that with the addition of the above breweries to those already in full blast, will enable the retail dealers to keep supplied with beer, fully as good and at a less cost than St. Paul manufacture.
