Timber is found only ON the creeks and riv-
ers; that on the creeks is principally oak, and
in places of fine quality, though not great ia
quantity. The scarcity of timber, however
will not prove as great an obstacle here, as in
other portions of the great Mississippi valley,
from the fact that we have an abundance OF
white lime and sand stone rock, finely adaptO
to building and fencing; and yet thisis far from
being what Pennsylvanians term stony coun-
try As has been before stated, the country is
all undulating or rolling, so much SO that few
sections of prairie are found nnhroken by di-
vides or ridges of moderate elevation The
rocks appear in the sides of these divides and
on the tops of the narrow ones, while the land
between them, and on the tops of the broad
ones, is Of the finest quality, and entirely free
from rock.

MALE INSTITUTE AT AupunN-HRR CAprURE.-
The Auburn Aaerieqn, on Friday last, noticed
the mysterious disappearance from the Fc.
male Academy in that city, of Hiss Mary j.
Stead'nan, daughter of Mr. d. c. Stead.nan, Of
Cato, aud a pupil in the Auburn Female Insti.
tute. She had once before disappeared. and
in the present instance her father offered re.
ward for her return. The Americas of Monday
sevening contains the following:
This girl, whose disappearance we noticed ON
! Friday, was seen in Syracuse on Saturday, in
company with IIallenbeck, her paramount. The
hitter is u married man, and has two children.
He Is small, Insignificant looking fellow, des-
ttutc OF single charm in personal appearance
while Miss Steadman is possessed OF more than
ordinary physical charms. On Saturday night
he purchased two railroad tickets for New York
| Two gentlemen of Syracuse, formerly of this
city, who had seen the notice in the american,
took measures to have her arrested. She is
now in custody of the Police of Svracuse-
They reached this city by the freight train yes
terday morning, and proceeded to Cato to have
an interview with Mr. Stead Ian. After fatig-
ming ride of some sixty les, they returned
to this city last night, hq ing been unable to
| find him
Thus tho matter rests at present. The be-
gulled girl seems to be perfectly Infatuated
ohe Is not wholly lost, and we trust she may
yet be reclaimed. If she should succeed in
reaching New York, her ruin would be com
plete This no Doubts her seducers object

THE LAST DoDss TO SECURE TnADE-The la
test dodge whereby profitable tradeis secured is
that which has been lately brought into prctice
by a sausage vendcr in Paris, where Brussels sau-
sages are in lively demand We find the fol-
lowing account of the dodge in a translation
from French papers
AS every traveller knows, the Brussels sau-
SageS are savOry nutrition. Working men
particularly, who wish something that will pro
coed promptly to the replenishment of the ex-
liansted juices of the spine, and without mate
rally taxing the pocket as it passes dine oEten
est on BRUSSELS sausage. To make living by
the sale of so cheap an article however, it Is
necessary to sell many; and Monsieur Yauden-
dale, of the Saucisse dor Cas he descriptively
names his eating house,) has hit upon the way
to bring this about
AT the usuui- price Intl like anybody else,
Monsieur Naudendale sells sauSages-but the
one you eat at the Saucisse dor may be a blank
! or 1t may be prize. In every fifty sausages
there Is one in whose sayory bowels is hidden
gold dollar! Your chance, therefore; to come
upon THIS pleasant variation of minced meat
| Is one In nifty. 1t Is said that the number
OF sausages eaten at this place, since the cstab-
! lishment of tue lottery, is truly Incredible So
great is the crowd that it is difficult to gain adj
mission atthc door; audit is said that this sue
cesstul lottery principle is to be introduced as
an advertisement for many other articles OF
common use"
