Great care is taken of their cows, both

\ New TowN IN La SALE CoUNTY.-A
new town called Huiland has been laid out
in this county on the Illinois Central Rail.
road, between Wcnona and Mnon stations,
about midway between La Sale and Bloom
ington. 1t is to be settled by an association
of Emigrants from Vermont, who after hay
ing, by u committee, thoroughly explored
the states Of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Wis.
consin, have finally pitched upon the local..
ty in question of the most eligible they could
find in all these states. The quality of soil
is better than they could iindin Iowa, while
the difference Of climate, superiority Of water,
readiness to market and abundance Of fuel
were advantages not countcrbaanced b, diff
ference in price Of land in that State.
We find the following in reference to this
association in the Springfield (IH) Journal
of the Sd inst:
The company have purchased %, 900 acres
of land of the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany, with the refusal Of $4,000 acres add.
iional if required. The land is beautifully
undulaling prairie, well watcred and admi-
rably adapted to stock raising, which will be
the principal business Of the settlers.
The town has been laid oil, 10 lots dis
tributed by lottery, several houses erected,
and preparations made for building extren.
sively the coming season. The railroad
company will commence putting up station
houses Immediately, and contracts are out
for steam mill, church, hotel and school
house. Rutland will therefore start under
the most favorable auspices, and soon as.
sumo prominence among our interior towns.
The character Of cmigrants to Rutland is
such that we may expect to see that the
"model" farming region Of Illinois. They
bring with them every Improvement in ag-
riculturc, both in materials, skill and stock.
They already own some Of the finest cattle

They have capital to commence their opera.

7. b. MCCREREY, of Wcnona Station, in
the southwestern part of this county,
writes MS desiring information in reference TO
a young man named Robert l.. Tharp, who
on Wednesday night of last week strangely
disappeared from that ncighborhood, and
who, as his parents live near Ottawa, it is
imagined may have come this way. Young
Tharp was living with man near Wcnona,
named White, and on the evening of the
Wednesday in question, left home to invite
some ncighborS to corn huSking at White )
on the following Friday. lie called at Mr.
John kelly's, then at Abraham Green's, and
next at Mr.. Coolers, where he left at IL
never got there, and has not since been
heard Of His horse came home some time
in the night, with the saddle turned, the
bride reins being still over his neck Fear
ing some accident had happened him, the
whole ncighborhood, to the number of a
hundred or more turned out on Thursday
and Friday, and made diligcnt search, but
could find no trace Of him. The suspicion
of foul play is enhanced by the fact that he
was known, when he left home, to have had
two watches and about 800 in money about
his person.
We have shown the letter Of Mr.. Metre.
rey to Mr.. \. Tharp, father Of the missing
young man, who informs us that he has nci.
Their seen or heard of him in this region, and
is confident some misfortune has bcialcn
him. He is laboring under deep distress
