Mr.. Bross Of Chicago Press, visited us

We under the greatest obligations. On the
morning 81 Thursday he showed q. all abou.
the city, and in the afternoon took carriage
and with party Of friends took US out to see
for ourselves what Burlington could do in
fruit culture. Oar party consisted Of I. II.
Burcl, Esq. Of this city, Geo. Burch, ESQ.,.
OF Hcrkimer, CO.. N. T., a Mr.. Knapp, Of
Boston, and another gentleman whose name
We DO not remember. OF course we had seen
orchards before, but our obs srvations led us
fully to in1orse the opinion OF Mr.. Barry ex-
pressed the evening previous, that no man
ever raw Such ORCHARDS any whnre else.-
Both the sixe Of the fruit and the qua tity on
the trees were truly amazing. There must
be most happy correspondence both in the
climate and the soil about Burlington to de.
Nelop the richest Of Pomcua's treasures.

Burlington is situated 10 d senicircular
basin, having the Mississippi on the east. and
h,afs hundred and Fifty feet high in tho
rear. TIL" ground rises gradually frcm the
river for half u mile or more, to the height
perba Of fifty feet, when the bluffs rise alb
rapfly and the submits arc reached BY streets
through the ravines. On the sides Of these
bluffs and on the tops Of them arc situated
some of the finest gardens that can b. found
any where west Of the lakes. When n Few
years more have rolled away they will be |
equal to any in the older States, Already |
they surpass all others in the s,xe and the
quality Of the fruits they produce. we no.
tice particularly those of Mr.. Coolbaueb
Mr.. Walbridge, Mr.. Chamberlain. Gov
Grimes and Mr.. Adams, and we have no
doubt there are many others which, deserve
honorable mention. Our friend Dr. Rauch
has selected most beautiful situation, com.
inanding splendid view of the Mississippi.
where as soon rs he has made another ind
more important selection. We have no doubt
he will display his horticultural taste. The
public will expect much from him, and we
have no doubt their expectation will be more
than realised.
Burlington exhibits everywhere evidences
OF enterprise and substantial prosperity
Large, spacious stores are going up on most of
her pflncipai streets; elegant mansions are
nrg,nn'ng to crown her beautiful bluffs, and
she begins to feel In every ibrs Of her sys.
