In Louisville, now aourishing town in one of the Western States. tor which he paid 16T5. A few weeks since an agent called on him to purchase that land, and of. tered him t,cO hundred and seventy.fVe thOw. sand dottGrs, for what hut q few years since. cost him only 675 d"llars. This, says the
 Monitor, is a speculation worth making, and seems to give us some idea Of the rapid in- crease. the prosperous and H"urIshing cOndi-
 ton of the Western part of our country.
