of Lots, On the premises, on or about the S6sh
dsy of November, 1857. Aware as he is, that
he community are heartily diSgusted with hum
bug and "paper towns" he viii not descend TO
the auddy ssassrs Of misrepresentation, nor stir
the tus5id pool of ambiguity, in setting forth its
merits, which are transparent to the depth OF
ssvsrsI Jeet. Nothing but the s0eiIing-Hp Of
benevoIence and charity; no ssOelIins tide Of tin
eel verbiAge, no lack Of OveyeosUins desire to Eq-
widate debt of generous kindness which he
owes to the "rsst Of mankind" shall sctuate
him in this connexions and may his cup Of grief
ever svesfsr, his discomfort SEn like TiUsT, and

The "aboTs" City is situate en- the north
bank Of the Missouri River, 90 equidistant from
the Allegheny and Rocky Mountains as to en-
brace al the intervening country ifh@ brilliant
career in the future should require is.
Its immediate boundaries may be given as fol-
lows, to-wit: On the north and south by bluff
and water; on the eestrs and south By s0;ad
. and water" on the west BY great mosquito fats,
and On the east, BY the lost fork of "roarin
river"
To the advantages Of ordinary town sites we
may add the most extensive water power, as
the site extends TO and into the river, or the river
extends to and over the site alternately; and
moreover the propEietOrs have already shipped
BY way of the river, and viii continue to ship
vast quantities Of this valuable location TO the
"tOder side Of Jordan" where they propose to
Establish branch in which, it is believed, q
large portion Of the inhabitants of the mother
City viii make speedy and peaceful peTsOnal iH-
UestmeAt. The President is happy to announce
that merchin " or sliding scale" is fitted
up to prevent fraud upon purchasers, as BY this
scale they are always able to ascertain the value
Of real estate in the city. For instance, If the
fluid rise on the scale q graduated post set in
the grsund) say, six feet in a day, real estate
sinks six feet, or in professional parlance, a. six
per cent, :" and vice versa.
The ferry privileges are numerous and extern
sive, Is at any point within six miles Of the city,
travellers can be forwarded with great despatch;
also magnificent patent Armstrong Propeller,
the Floating scow," is kept for the use of the
citizens in pTOmsnadiRy the fashionable streets.
Visitors at the sale will be ferried gratis in this
boat. except those who invest, in which case the
fare viii be calculated BY the above "merchin "
or scale.
The city is beautifully laid Of, with three large
avenues running through its centre, and termi-
mating in great Wiggle Tail Bend of the Mis-.
souri, River.
These avenues are 800 feet wide, and are
named as follows: Gar, Gallinipper, and " Yal-
lergater." The principal streets for the business
part Of the city, have the following highly Or
astrological names, to wit: Duck, Didiper,
Tadpole, FrOgiana, Terspin, Snipe, Subsnipe,
and Snipee. " In the midst of the City " may
be found the Great Mosquito Square. on which
its inhabitants hold one perpetual gala-day Of
singing, 6Gek-analian riot and eanni5alism. This
Sreeherchs" entertainment Is also furnished
visitors gratis.
The President would also st&te as further
inducement to purchase, the significant fact, that
this alluring spot is the oldest and best regula-
ted frogery on the Missouri River, and the Com
pAny are now importing live French gentle
man." in seven large bsndboxes, to oversee this
branch Of their export trade. History also "lends
enchantment to the view" as the archives of
the City Company contain authentic documents
establishing the fact that this site is the verita.
