Drawing has hi herio been looked upon too
much a mere accomplishment. not as a

he moulds or shapes his work. besides finding

\ FACT IN REGARD To DRnIrSa WmEAr-
We wish to record a fact which seems rather

1t is the same kiuI OF wheat as that which
was drilled. Our readers NAV draw their own

E< Bavard Tavlor, in his lecture on tn

PHILOSOPHY of Travel relates the following
anecdote:
Il remember an English traveller Of this
class who, in ascending certain river. ex-
pressed great concern for his native boatmen
who, whenever the canoe struck a sandbar,
or a snag, jumped ont into The river, and go:
the boat off. He was SO afraid that the men
would take cold. that he invariably prepared
for them aposset Of hot brandy which he ad-
ministered to them On their return on board
The consequence was that his boa! ran aground
much more frequently than that OF any other
former traveller.

JACKSoNTVIITsD
Kansas Territory.

THE undersigned in behalf of the proprietors
Il have determined on laying of town Of the
above name, at one of the most eligible points in
the Territory. It is located on No ble's Fork of
Stranger Creek on the Pottawatimie road from
PaFkVii the Missouri river to UniontoWn, on
the Kansas River, and at the junction of the Fort
[EeavenWofth road 1t is about so miles from
RarkBlle, 10 from LeavenwoTth, 18 from Kick
apoo City and 70 miles from the Kansas river,
on high beautiful belt OF prairie Of about half
mile in width, with "a large body of good timber
on each side. The advantages of the location are
already known and appreciated, and inany persons
are now waiting to build. q
The location is about central between the
Missouri and Kansas rivers, and with the best
natural roads in the west leading to it. It is a.
bout central to country that is susceptible of a
large and dense population, ana everything points
to this place as the centre of county that will
be formed, making it of necessity county seat
y There is an abundance of lime stone rock, in
exhaustible veins of stone coal in the immediate
vicinity, which have been tested, and proved to
be good. Added to all these there is good tim
Der, good soil, and good water adjoining the
town. There are several fine springs of clear
running water on and adjoining the town tract,
and but a few miles west is where the old Del
aware Mills were established, said to be an ex-
cellent mill site.
I The town will be surveyed Immediately and
piats made, but NO public sale of lots will take
place before next spring. But in order to accom-
modate those who want to build this winter a
few lots will be sold at private sale.
An examination Of the premises, will not fail
TO convice any one of the superior claims of Jack
sonville. The great body of the travel from the
regson Of country bordering on the Mo. River,
from Weston down to Parkville, crossing, to the
valley of the Kansas must pass through this
place.
We have submitted few facts to the public,
to elicit their attention. glance at the coun-
try will afford view the most picturesque and
| lovely the eye ever rested upon. A rare chance
is now offered to the poor man, the Speculation,
and all who want to make money. Here is the
place to buy bargains.
