HsHETown of Delaware is situated in Kan
Il gas territory, on the south side of the Mis-
souri, river, three miles above the line OF ths
Delaware re essrve, and ten miles below Leaven-
worth city. This town was laid of and located
In February last, on a tract OF land denseIy tim
aered. easy of access from the surrounding
country and situated favorably for health: al

Ffrstfy-A Good landing.
The Missouri river at this point is compress
ed within narrow space, the channel is re-
markedly deep on the Delaware side, and wash
3 es for mile above and below, the Kansas shore,
thus affording at all times safe and secure
landing for steamers.
SccosldEy-Tizi,Iser IN Abundance
The tract of land on which the town is laid
out, is scovered with valuable timber, for build
ing purposes, besides this, there is on the oppo-
site side OF the river large bottom, heavily
tiE5ered with oak, ash and walnut.
ThirdEy-Ets Position.
This town has on the Kansas side of the riv-

lands In the Territory, while on the opposite
side OF the river there is large and fertile bot

size. This is the most accessible point from
which the Delaware nation of Indians can pro-
cure their supplies Delaware is the nearest
apd most accessible point at which the country

spendid view of the Missouri river for miles
above and below the town, the country in the
vicinity presenting view at once. pleasing and
ro,na1Itic. =
Every indacement will be given to mechanics
to make Delaware the place of their CHOICE
we ask each person to examine the place. The
merchant will find an examination, that
delaware is obliged to command a trade not
second to any town in the Territory; from such
persons we ask an examination. In a word,
ord we ask for Delaware an examination by
