We refer to the Sweepstake Premiums,

ing us
These premiums are offered on Horses,
Cattle, Sheep and Fruit; and though not
large in amount, are still respectable. Still,
it was not supposed that the particular
thing offered would weigh so much with ex-
hibitors as a desire to compare the best
specimens in these departments, and to de-
termine the comparative advancement of the
Farmers of Lenawee, Monroe, Wood, Fulton
and Lucas counties, in the improvements of
their stock and fruits.
A considerable portion of these counties
is a fine grazing region, and ought to be made
famous for its fine stock In fruit, we know
of no region in the world that can excel it,.

smaller fruits, grow unusually large and de-
licous in this region while the clay under

NeBraska-Its Natural Advantages.

This territory now causing so much ex
citemeMt in the world in its broad general
extent is overated. 1t is not PERFECT par
udse. There are storms and winds, cold
and heat, sandy plains and fertile valleys
the very best and the very worst of lands in
It's limits. There is no country on the globe
that viii suit every person. What some
will call advantages Others will consider a
fault, thus it is with the tastes and judg-
nents of the human race. There certainly
is no :uore fertile land on the continent than
may be found in the proposed territory Of
Nebrssk sska--upon the streams and in the val
leys this may generally be found. The coun-
try lies in high waving swells like the wa
tersOf the ocean in tempest with an occa-
,ioaal broad lakelike prairie just gently ruff
lied BY the breeze. There is in many places
:. scarcity Of timber, though there are good
groves in the valleys, on the hill sides and
margin Of the streams the principal varie-
ties are, various species of oak, elm, linn,
hickory, black walnut, blackberry, coffee,
bean and muberry. The country is well
adapted to corn, (Which no where grows
more luxurious wheat, oats barley, rye,
buckwheat, beans, potatoes and all other
culinary roots and vegetables raised in Ohio.
Fruits will doubtless grow finely as is indi
Gated by the abundance of wild fruits every
where found. Apples, peaches, pears, plums
cherries, grapes, currants. gooseberries, rasp-
berries and strawberries, do well-many of
chem are indigenous to the climate and
grow in profusion.
There is an abundance of limestone and
chalk, and we are informed that coal, iron
ore and magnesia have also been found
Game is plenty, in the western or mountain
portion vast herds of buffalo make the earth
tremble with their laundering approach
Deer, elk. antelope, bear, mountain sheep
aud wolves are also common in the same re-
gion. Fish are generally abundant, but de-
crease in quantity and numbers as you ap-
proach greater elevation.
The Nebraska or Platte river nearly divides
this proposed territory and extends through
it's whole Western extent, forming a natural
highway and an almost completely graded
road for near eight hundred miles on an al
most direct westerly line towards the Pacific
and the Golden State. Although much has
been and still may be done BY interested
parties to turn the attention Of the American
people to other routes for the great Pacific
Railroad, and routes that are impracticable

travelled twice the hole length of the Platte
river and speak from personal experience
There are number Of large streams passing
through various portions of this territory,
among which, on the north of the Platte is
the Loup Fork, Elk Horn and Running Wa
ter rivers, with number Of smaller streams
interspersed through the country. On the
south side are the Kansas, Blue, South Fork,
Laramie Fork, &c. On many of these are
excellent sites for motive power for mills
and machinery. The climate is saIubrious
and delightful, there being little snow in
winter with much pleasant weather, the
greatest Inconvenience being from the winds.
There is scarcely day in the year but there
is little cool and wholesome breeze blow

dealt out. The water is excellent both from
springs in the hills or to be found by digging

indicate healthy locality. There is no
country on the globe where the roads are so

that the interest taken in this subject will

A Few WORDS ON BUSINESS. When we
commenced publishing the Journal, we were
disappointed in not receiving sum Of mo
ney that we expected, to pay for our printing
materials. Being cramped for funds lust
then, we offered to take $l.25 for a years
subscription in advance Of all who chose to
pay us that sum within the first three months
after we started. Thas limit of time expired
over year ago, yet we are still occasionally
requested to receive this sum in advance for
our paper year Here are the reasons why
we cannot do it. In the first place it was
too low. then for such paper as we publish
in such place, but we could not borrow
money and were forced to stand this shave
instead. But then we had two hundred dol
lars worth Of laws to print, this year s3u
worth, next year none. Then we had the
sheriff's advertising how we have not. Then
we paid 20 cts. per 1000 ems for type-settinc,
now %. Then paper cost S4. so per bundle.
now S6. Then -four was $3.50 per barrel.
now $9. Everything except newspapers has
advanced in price. The price of our pape.
is $3.50 year in advance, and no less. Il
is only by strict economy, and doing la.ge
part of the work ourself, that we can keep
it going If the paper, or price, is hnsatis-
factory to the public, we shall feel no great
reluctance TO stop it.
