COMING TO Nlbhhohh'
We commend the following extract from
a letter addressed to us short time since
by Mr., Walker.
The views entertained by Mr.. Walker,
respecting The propriety Of shipping the
principal part" Of a house in a finished
state, are sound, and We hope a similar
course will be odoptodby others intend
ing to settle in this country.
Sickness is not common in this country,
and a great portion Of that that does exist,
may be traced to the want Of comfortable
dwellings and suitable food both of which
difficulties, as a general thing, may be
avoided when timely measures are adop-
ted. Extract:

MIsCHIEY kAKERs.

The following paragraph taken from the
Dubuque Tribune, and endorsed by the
Dubuque Observer, throws light on a sub
jcct where it was greatly needed, and fur
sishes a tes!imony-so far as it relates TO
Gov. Cummings at least-which the great
majority Of the people Of Nebraska will
most heartily endorse.
The Doctor is n personal friend Of ours,
but for ought we know, has been 10 some ex-
tent lcagued with the arch-mischief ma
ker with whom his name is associated

co demagogue Of our extensive political ac-

News endorses him. he and Governor Cum

the whole Territorial Legislature can remedy
in ten. -Dubuque Tribune.
That there has been a great deal Of mis-

already, the people have found out 10
their sorrow and shame.
If the mischief, fraud and de~bauchsry
praciiced since the death Of Gov. Bart,
was to be continued in the same ratio IN
which it begun, for the next two years,
ten years would be "a very short period in
which to recover from TIE confusion, cor
