either lake. This mill is owned by Messrs.
Mines and Pomeroy, aad is being built by Arson
Dart Esq, which is sufficient guarantee that il
win be well done. Ii is to be completed during
the ensuing month of August. | have examined
this country fora number OF miles around this set
Element and came to the conclusion thar if a far

he ought never 10 have farm. Tho next settle
ment wish 10 notice il
HyLAsD's PRAIRIE-'rhis place tooi its name
from Amasa Iiyland, formerly of N. Hampshire,
who 18th a MIR. Stanton commenced settlement
here thres years ago. These two gentlemen have
extensive improvements and large stick OF cat

quite extensive, though somewhat scattered. The
most of the Improvements however, are up or near
the road leading from Waupun to Madison; Is
miles from tho former to tho latter place, There
are about three hundred acres ofwnter wheat now
on the ground which bids fair 10 yield an excel
lent harvest. Nearly .vo miles from the main
road and directly from tho centre Of this set
Element, lives a venerable patriarch by the name
of Clascn, who has eight sons all married and set

industrious farmers.

Prairie, on the road from Waupun TO Madison !;
is quite a thriving settlement--well watered and
well timbered. The land here is mostly OPEN
ings, but ola good quality, and abundanty ropays
the farmer for clearing and breaking. Mr.
Alderman from Nav York city, is the most ex-
tsnsve farmer at this place, having as he informed
me, about twenty thousand rails put into fence :
bu, the neatness aud beauty Of al The farms ia
this place, relec, much credit upon their industri-
Gus proprietors. An excellent saw mill is in OPP
GRAFTON here, aud | understand there is 10 DO run
OF stono arranged for grinding wheat in the same
mill this season. The Rev. Mr.. Ordway, Pres
bytcran Minister Of the New School, has taken
up his residence at this place, and breaches reg
ulsrly TO the people.
Flnall-, Mr.. Editor, this whole section OF coun-
try is 80 good aud so well adapted TO the farming
Interest," That should know hardly whore to direct
a man TO find the best place. All OF tho above
named settlements possess isnumerable advnnta-
gcs--sorne perhaps more than others, bu, II immi-
grants wish to know which is superior, let them
''coms and see.''
