Western Missouri and Kansas.
We make few extracts from letters in
the Missouri Democrat from Weston,
Parkville. and other western Missouri
towns:
WESTON, No.. April %, 1857.
B1sin,ss in every department Of trade
is unusually brisk. and every boat from
below is laicn with freight for this poin,
aai crowlel with passengers. Weston is
now enjoying an unprece Tented prosperity,
and Is extending its limits far beyond its
former bonn ia-ies. Buildings are goin.
up in every direction in ths old and new
limits. In few days the buildings in the
burnt district will be finished. With
these additions to the business houses,
oarcity will present an aspect never before
seen in its history.
