EDUcArIoN.-Everybody should have
his head, heart and hand educated. By
the proper education of his heart, he will
be taught to hate what is evil, foolish and
wrong. And by proper education of the
hand, he will be enabled to supply his
wants, to add to his comfort, and assist those
around him. The highest object is of
great value, every thing that hinders us,
of comparatively worthless. When wis
dom reigns in the head, and love in the
heart, the man is ever ready to do good
order and peace reigns around him, and
sin and sorrow are almost unknown.

IN February last, on trset ef land densely tim

country and situated favorable for health al
ready there are number of Esonses going up.
1t has the following resources IS good, and
prominent point:
FirstEy-A Good Landing.
The Missouri river at this point is compress
ed within a narrow space. the channel is re-
markabIy deem on the Delaware side. and wash
es for mile above and below, the Kansas Shore
thus affording at all times safe and secuFe
landing for steamers.
SecOnd1y-Timber in Abundance
The tract of land on which the town is laid
ont, is covered with valuable timber, for build
ing purposes. besides this, there is on the oppo-
site side of the rfFer large bottom, heavily
timbered with oak, ash and walnut.
ThirdIy-Tfs Position.
This town has on the Kansas side of the riv-
er supporting it, large district OF the very best
lands in the Territory, while on the opposite
side of the river there is large and fertile bot
tom. teeming with population. This bottom is
of itself sufficient to sustain a town of large
size. This is the most accessible point from
which the Delaware nation of Indians can pro-
cure their supplies. Delaware is the nearest
and most accessible point at which the country

her of towns on the Kansas that will find it to
their interest to make this place their shipping
