The Pennsylvania Company, to which

cite county, are located at Big Springs,
about fifteen miles west of this, between
the California and Tecumseh roads, and
some FIVE. miles distant from the latter
place. Of the entire company which
came out, but a single person has return
ed east, and he has gone for his family
with the purpose of coming back and To-
eating in, the vicinity.
The company have joined their forces,
and are pushing matters along as Be-
comes pioneers to Kansas. WIN. Y.
RoBERTs, Esq, the President of this par
ty, in company with others are about lay
ing out town. We learn that they have
a very lovely site, on an eminence, some
two miles south of the Kansas river, and
but short distance from the Big Springs.
The whole party are enjoying good
health, are perfectly eontented and enga-
+ged in fitting up the soil and preparing
it for crop. Sixty acres have already
been planted in corn, and more is being
made ready as fast,as possible.
We feel proud of this company, and
point to its efforts with pleasure. as an
evidence of what can be done by energy,
perseverance, and unity of effort.
