| TyHETown of Delaware is situated in Ran-
| L sas territory, on the south side of tis asis-
souri, river, three miles above the line tt
Delaware reserve, and ten miles below Les "a :
worth city. This town was laid off and locat.
| in February last, tract of land densely tir
bered, easy OF access from the surr indins
country and situated favoraby for health: al
ready there are number of houses going W
1t has the following resources as a good and
prominent point:
FiFstIy-A Good Landin-.
The Missouri river at this point is CO press.
ed within narrow space, the ehanE& is re-
markably deep on the Delaware side, and wash
es for mile above and below, the Kansas shore,
thus affording at all times safe and secure
landing for steamers.
SecondIy-Timbe i'm Abundance
The tract of land on which the town is laid
out, is covered with valuable timber, for build
ing purposes, besides this, there is on the oppo-
site side of the river large bottom, heavily
tinbered with oak, ash and walnut.
Third7yIEts Position.
This town has on the Kansas side of the riv-
er supporting it, large district of the very best
side OF the river there is large and fertile bot
tom, teeming with population. This bottom is
of itself sufficient to sustain town ef large
size. This is the most accessible point from
which the Delaware nation of Indians can pro-
cure their supplies. Delaware is the nearest
and most accessible point at which the country
on the Kansas river can do their receiving and
forwarding business. There are great mum
Der of towns on the Kansas that will find it to
their interest to make this place their shipping
point, among them we would name OsaWkee.
Calhoun and others. As there is good ferry
at this point, emigrants travelling to Kansas Ter
ritory on the great State road from st. Joseph
to st. Louis, will find that this is the propeI
point at which to enter the territory, as BY this
means they avoid a great deal Of unnecessary
travel.
Health.
This location is high and commanding. hav-
ing no stagnant water near to generate disease
from its streets, there is presented to the eye q
spendid view of the Missouri river for miles
above and below the town, the country in the
vicinity presenting view at once pleasing and
romantic. -
Every inducement 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 on an examination, that
Delaware is obliged to command trade not
second to any town in the Territory; from such
persons we ask an examination. In a word.
word we ask for Delaware an examination by
the public.

Beautiful Sentiment.

A man without religion is at best poor
repro5ate-the football of destany, with no
tie linking him to ininity and the wondrous
eternity that is within him. But woman
that is..without it is even worse-a flame
without heart, flower without perfume.
A man may. in some sort, tie his frail
hope and honors with weak shifting ground,
and tackeled to his business of the world;
but the woman without that anchor which
they call faith, is adrift and wreck. A man
may clumsily continue a lkind of response
bility or motive, but can find no basis on
any other system of right action than that
of spiritual faith. A man may craze his
thoughts and his brain to thoughtlesness in
such poor harborage as fame and reputation
may stretch before him-a woman, where
tan she put her hope, while passing through
trials, storms AMI tribulations, if not in Hea.

love-that enduring hope, mellowing every
scene of life,lightening them with pleasant
radiance-when the worlds cold storml
