We wera askea the other day, '.Mr. EditOr,

We were asked the other day, "Mr. Editor,
would it be agreeable 1 should write a commu-
nication for your paper, occasiohly?:"
Certainly, sir" was our reply; and we thus
publicly repeat it. Certainly, sir and fur
tber quote the language of our prospectus, eve
invite respectable and well written communi-
n@ications upon all subjects of general interest.
This invitation is not confined to the residents
of Brownville and Immediate vicinity, but is
extended to-our readers anywhere-and to any
one who may feel inclined to Ascribble for the
press" w are particularly anxious 70 have a
regular correspondent at every point in the
Territory, and will have, even If compelled,
for no other purpose, to visit personally every
important (and we feel there is not an amin
p0rtant point in the Territory, nor viii be fOl
many years to Gomez point in Nebraska, to
secure the services of some competent person
to keep.us posted in regard to passing events, =
present and future prospects, &c. Again we
say, any one who feels that he or she can
write "a line that will instrrct OF amuse, aprite.
More information can be given and gained BY
communications, than one mayat first imagine;
and more especially is this applicable. to the
farming portion of community. Mr.. a. B. has
tried a plan of bis own in planting, or raising
stock, which succeeds admirably; if'so, let him
tell his ~neighbor, thathe may have the benefit
of the experiment. What more appropriate
mode of communicating this information to bis
fellow farmer, than to write it out for publica-
ton in the county paper.

safety yesterday from Liverpool. Mrs. Por-
