VIEW LOCATIOT.

JACKSONVILLE, KANSAS TERRITORY,
y has been relocated, and is now outside of
any Indian reserve beyond doubt. 1t is situa-
ted about ten miles from where itwas originally
located, about ten miles from Alexandria, and
ten miles from OsaWkee, within one mile from
the road leading from ParkViile on the Missouri
river to Uniontown on tye Kansas rieer. It is
the nearest and most direct route form Fort Leay-
enworth to Fort Riley. The town is situated on
abeautiful undulating prairie, surrounded on the
north east and west sides with a large body of
good timber. Immeditely adjoining the town
tract is an abundance of first rate running spring
water. The country adjacent is at this time
densely settled, and every thing points to this
place as the centre of alarge wealthy and pop
ulous county.
In the Immediate vicinity of jacksonville is an
abundance OF lime stone rock, and stone coal in
in-exhaustibie Quantities, with soil unsurpassed
for fertility, good water and plenty of timber,
this place must make an important town.
The town will be Immediately surveyed, amp
piats made. and public sale Of lots take place
eome time in the Spring.
We have submitted few facts with the view
of directing attention to the place. feeling assur
sured, an examination of the premises will satify
any one of its superior claims. The country ar
round is the most magnificent the eye ever rested
upon. A rare chance is now offered to the poor
,aan, the specuiator, and all who want to make
profitable investments in town property. Jack
soayille is bound to go ahead, and will prosper
for the men who have located there have deter
mined to build up place. Those who want to
: huyIots before the sale, and get good star
: with the place on easy terms had better apply

Saint George Is located upon the north bank
OF the Kansas river, one hundred miles from
Fort LeavenEoFth, and Immediately upon the
| shortest route from there to Fort Riley. The
great Emigrant Road from the southwest to
California and Oregon crosses the Kansas here,
and thence with the conrsesof the Big Blue, to
Its intersection with the northern route at or
near Fort Kearney. We claim foraE George a
location, not equalled for beauty ,by any other
town in Kansas Territory; the lots ars.laid out
ing from the bank of the River back for two
miles, Of easy access from any direction.
One of the most beautiful as well as useful
features of the location, is the fine grove Of tim
Der surrounding it; this grove extends for sever
al miles up and down the, river and from one to
two miles back; all tn. adjacent country for
many miles ia every direction is well watered,
perhaps better than any other section of the Ter
ritory, and as consequence, more timber, for
where the water courses are, there too the tim

The Big Blue is only about ten miles to the
west: the VermiIlion the same distance on the
east, the tributaries of which interlocking, wa

while upon the south side, Immediately oppo-
site the town, one of the finest streams for set
Elements, is to be found, and yet little lower,
another of almost equal magnitude, and excel
lence. The location is about the centre of what
will be the STATE of Kansas, and being also
just below the mouth of the Big Blue, where
navigation will be suspended butfor few months
during the year. it is confidently expected that
the PERMANENT SEAT OF GOVERN
MENT will be located here.

.ssssskzx. RESPECTFULLY Y tenders his pro-
fessional services to the citizens of
upper Missouri and the Kansas Ter
ritory. Having carried on an Eye infrmary
for several years past in Platte city, Mo-, and
having treated large number of patients with
almost every description of diseased Eyes, he
fatters himself that he will be able to give satis-
faction to all who may desire his seIvicess His
infirmary buildings are large and fitted up so
that patients are not only well Accommodated but
under his immediate care. The cost of being
cured at his establishment is compararatively
small when travelling and other expences to St.
Louis or anyother distant point are considered.
Persons having children laboriRg under longcon-
continued scrofulous disease of the Eyes are most
positively assured that they can get them cured
at his infImary. DIR. Brown would, also, most
respectfully invite the attention of the med
ical profession throughout the country to his es-
tablfshment, and if cases of diseased Eyes should
spring up in their practice that can only be trea-
ted successfully at an eye infrmnary he would be
much pleased to have them recommended or sent
to his. If any further information is wanted,
call on Capt. Eastin, OF w. H. Adams, at the

ries this spring.
The Republican published in Jersey
Shore, Penn, says that a very large num-
Der of people are advertising their pro-
perry for sale in that region by individ-
uals wishing to settle in the State of To-
wa. No doubt many Of them will find
their way TO Nebraska.
The Ottawa Free Trader says
The hard lines and suffering Of the
past winter at the east, " lille the west,
Notwithstanding the drought Of last sum
mer, has as ever enjoyed a su~perabun-
dance OF the necessaries Of life, are hay
ing the effect Of bringing, with the ope-
nlng OF spring, a wholly Unprecedented
tide of immigration h~itherward. The
Chicago papers are astonished and the bo-
tels are overwhelmed at the floods the
railroads are pouring upon them. The
Fress says, a single passenger train, on
The Michigan Southern Road Oh Wednes-
day evening, consisted Of fourteen cars
crowded with passengers, and nearly eve
ry N comes to stay"
Let town proprietors look well 10
their interests, by making preparation for
the accommodation Of the greatest possible
number - build houses to rent and store
where every kind of out-ftdng articles
can be found. Make the condition Of
settlement as easy as possible.
