DELAWARE.

FHE Town of Delaware is located on the
i south bank of the Missouri River, ten miles
below Leavenworth, in Kansas Territory. This
town is laid off on a beautiful bluff, gradually
ascending, and commands fine view Of the
river above and below for fourteen miles in ex-
tent, with permanent landing for steamers,
reaching one mile; equal to that at st. Louis
Situated on the shortest and most direct route
for emigrants up the great Kansas Valley, near
er, by ten miles to Fort Riley, than any other
town on the Missouri River-within three miles
of the Delaware lands, it must command, to a
considerable extent,, not only the trade Of the
tile valley of Kansas. This town is sustained
by a back country acknowledged to be the very
best in the Territory.
Ferry !-There is at the center Of the town
site, ferry, equal to any on the Missouri river.
Timber! !-There is an abundant supply Of
timber, of all the varieties common to the coun-
try on the Kansas side; while opposite, in Mis-
souri, squads out an extensive and rich bottom,
densely covered with the largest timber produc-
tive and teeming with population.
Water There are several springs of ex-
cellent water, within the town limits, while 2aa
miles south, in the midst of beautiful country
there is gushing up in rich profusion, spring of
mineral water, offering at no distant day, re
treat to those in search Of pleasure, and the in
valid. Delaware was laid out in February last,
since which time number Of buildings have
been erected and now in the course Of erection.
Arrangements.h have been made flor the establish
ment of an Academy and the erection Of an Ho-
tel and Steam Saw Mill, which will go into op-
Grafton in q short time.
The company are determined to build up a
town. Those wishing to purchase shares or lots
can apply to the Trustees, Platte city, Mo-, P.
S. Able, Weston, or L. F. Hollingsworth, Del
aware, K. 7. Persons who buy lots will be re-
quired to pay one third down, the balance to
be paid when a complete title is made.
To Mechanics and others who may wish to OBJ
tain lots for actual settlement, we will offer
greater inducements than have been offered by
any town in the Territory. Those acquainted
with the location of our town, know its advan:

Speaking Out in Meeting.

The corruption and proaigacy O
the present know-nothing Legislature
of Pennsylvania, says the Union, is
becoming apparent to every man in
the State; but still we did not think
the editors of that new party were so
willing to acknowledge it. Yet such
is the fact as evidenced by the follow.
ing,cGpped from the Harrisburg Item,
one Of Sam" organs: oo''s
1.-THE fact is, legislation has fallen
into bad hands A set of political
scoundrels took advantage of the late.
revolution in political sentiment, anc
where they did not honestly succeed,
fraud was resorted to in order, to ae-
complish the object. The legislation
of this session, its glaring absurdities
and villainy, to make use Of the mild
est terms, will be execrated by every
honest man in this commonwealth. !
The honor of the State is bartered !
and sold by our secret eonclave, as if
they had no master, nor in any way
responsible to public.opinion. Banks
are chartered amid boisteIous merri-
ment, and foreign railroad capitalists
are the qions' who are worshipped at
the shrine of Mammon. When will
Moses descend from the mount, and

Nv Soul is Dark.

Ny soul is dark--oh! quickly string
The harp yet can brook to hear;
And let thy gentle fingers fling sl
Its melting murmurs Ger my ear:
If in this heart a hope be dear,
That sound shall charm it forth again;
If in these eyes there lurk a tear,
Twill flow and cease to burn my brain
But bid the strain be wild and deep,
Nor let the notes of joy be first; i
] tell thee, minstrel, must weep,
Or else this heavy heart will burst:
For it hath been by sorrow nursed,
And ach'd in sleepless silence long;
And now tits doomed to know the worst,
And break at once--or yield to song.

Elder Pratt, one of the chief Nor
mon prophets, says: 1--WE hold the
law Of God on the subject of matri,
mony, including plurality Of wives,
as a most sacred institution binding
on our consciences." We we're not
aware of The Salt Lake gentry going
half so far as that. We were well
apprlsed of their considering plu-
rality Of wives allowable, but ne new.
er dreamed of their regarding it as
IAN institution binding upon their
consciences. " According to the
prophet, they think that a plurality
OF wives is not simple privilege
but a solemn religious duty-neces-
sary probably to salvation. Some
young fellows might think such
terms Of salvation very easy indeed,
and some old chaps might think
them pretty hard.

: BerFsWiag Papers.

\ Many of our subscribers, both in
town and. out in the. country, com
plain that they cannot keep their
papers long enough to read them.-
They are borrowed, from house to
house, and taken from hand to hand,
until they are literally worn into
pieces. We are glad to learn that
our paper is so much sought after,
and hope even those who borrow it
may be so much benefited by it
that they shall feel that they cannot
well do without it. But is it right
to borrow mans paper, for which
he pays bis money? Ask yourself
the question. Are you not using,
as If it were your own, something
which belongs to another? You
read the paper, and are as much
benefited by it as the man who pays
for it. If he die not take it, you
would have no paper to read. So
you are dependent on him for all the
news you get. Think of this, and
you will see that you are doing wrong
when you borrow . paper. Many
persons desire to file their papers,and
Wish not number lost or soiled.-
Very few persons would refuse to
end paper, yet all dislike to do so.
\ man sometimes wishes to refer to
ONE article in the paper, on which
is thoughts have probably been
esting allday,b it is not to be had.
nd ne becomes vexed in no small
egree. How would you feel if you
new You had thus annoyed a neigh
or! Perhaps you are now, at this
cry moment, while you are reading
lis article, vexing some good man,

!, GREAT FIsHINa.-The Burlington
Free Press relates a new and unique
mode of fishing, which has been sue.
cessfully tried in a trout stream Of
northern Vermont, and which We take
pleasure in recommending to the
attention of all. long nosed disciples
of the famous Walton. The discovery
was made a few days since by wood
chopper in Hyde Park. Being thirs.
ty with labor, he chopped hole in
the ice of a mountain stream, and
laid himself down to drink. While
in the act Of imbibipg the fresh fluid,
bis nose was suddenly and unexpect-
edly seized by q hungry leviathan of
the brook, who buried his teeth deeply
in the. rosy protuberance, which he ev-
identity thought was a savOry morsel.
The astonished wood cutter, whose
alarm endowed him with superhuman
strength, threw up bis head with a
jerk, and pulled out upon the ice a
splendid trout, which weighed two
and a half pounds! The editor of the
Free Press has talked with man
who. saw the lacerated swollen nose,
and vonches for the authenticity Of
the story. We Go not believe, how
ever, that this mode Of fishing will
come into vogue, and we advise
those Of our readers who are disposed
to try it to wear false noses!
