In Tracts of 40 acres and Upwards, on Long
Credits and at Low Rates of Interest.
NNHESE lands were granted by the Govern
4 ment 10 aid in the construction of this road
and are among the richest and most fertile in
the world. They extend from North East and
North West, through the middle of the State,
to the extreme South, and include every variety
of climate and productions found between those
parallels of latitude. The Northern portion is
chiefly prairie, interspersed with fine groves,
and in the middle and Southern sections timber
predominates. alternating with beautiful prai-
ries and openings.
The climate is more healthy, mild and equa-
bic, than any other part of the country--the air
is pure and bracing, while living streams and
springs of excellent water abound.
Btuminous Coal is extensively mined, and
supplies cheap and desirable fuel, being fur
nshed at many points at 81 to S4 per ton-and
wood can be had at the same rate per cord.
Building Stone of an excellent quality also
abounds, which can be procured for little more
than the expense of transportation.
The great fertility of these lands, which are
black rich mould from two TO FIVE feet deep,
and gently roling--their contiguity to this road,
by which every facility is furnished for travel
and transportation, to the principal markets
North, South, East West, and the economy
with which they can be cultivated, render them
the most valuable investment that can be found,
and present the most favorable opportunity for
persons of industrious habits and small means
to acquire comfortable independence in few
years.
Chicago is now the greatest grain market in
the world, and the facility and economy with
which the products of these lands can be trans
ported TO that market make them much more
profitable, at the prices asked, than those more
remote at government rates, as the cost of
transportation is a perpetual tax on the latter,
which must be borne by the producer in the re-
duced price he receives for his grain, &c.
The Title is Perfect and when the final pay
ments are made, Deeds are executed by the
Trustees appointed by the State, and in whom
the title is vested, to the purchasers, which con-
yey to them absolute titles in Fee Simple, free
and clear of every incumhrance, lien or mort
gage.

Treatment Of Group.

Spaking of this fatal disease among
children, medical correspondent Of the
New Hampshire Journal Of medicine
states that for three years he has used al
um in Group, and in all that time he has
not seen fatal case which was treated
with it from the beginning. He usually
gives about ten grains, once in ten min
utes, until vomiting is induced, using at
the same time tartar-emetic or the hive
syrup freely--the latter subdning infam-
nation, while the alum has more of a
repulsive action.

The Japan Pea.

The Japan pen is much commented by
Mr.. Thomas masln, of Mooretiald, Har-
dy county, Virginia. He says that from
six Japan peas sent him in 1854, which
were not cultivated in way to give much
hope of success, the product the first sea
son was 1850, or an average of ,225 TO
each stalk. The next year he planted
two ounces Of the peas, many Of which
were destroyed in their growth by the
cutworm, but the product was about five
bushels, after the family Ind used what
had been wanted in the green state. He
further remarks:
They grow mp il q stiff stalk about the
size Of mans finger, and throw out
branches from th4 ground up, and every
branch is completely covered with pods
which contain three or four peas, aud
from bush nearly rs large as a -four
barrel. When green they are about the
size and shape of corn bean. ] coun-
ted some stalks this fall that had $500 to
5000 peas, and have seen as much as
one hundred pods upon branches not
foot long. have no doubt but they will
yield five times ms much per acre as any
other grain or Vegetable have ever seen.
They are very fine for table use, either
green or dry, hut particularly so when
dry, and have no doubt but what they will
Be valuable for stock, as my fowls and
the rats eat them in preference TO corn.

our Yeeth.

Itis asserted that the teeth of the pre-.
sent generation are inferior to those oi
the generation who have passed US. We
wish that some of our many dentists would
prove literary enough 10 give US dental
history. We should be astonished prob
ably at the dental evils ofother days.
Evidence of the use of false teeth by
the Romans two thousand years ago were
found among the ruins of Pompeii.-
Three hundred years ago Martin Luther
complained Of the toothache; and Ger
man Ambassador at the Court Of Queen
Elizabeth spoke Of the imperfection Of
the English peoples Teeth, which he at
tributed to their custom of eating great
deal of sugar. Shakespeare makes one of
his characters speak Of being kept away
by raging fang. Roger Williams was
struck by the Naraganset Indians, who
toothache troubled exceedingly.
George Washington had set Of artlfi-
.eiaI teeth for which he paid FIVE hundred
dollars. Napolean always had bad teeth
and was especially troubled with them at
ST Helena. Walter Scott speaks, at a
comparative early period Of life, of dental
troubles, and wished he had some fresh
teeth. Such are very few facts which
came up in our poor memory concerning
q somewhat interesting matter. We would
like to have many more of them. For
our part we have no doubt that dentists
were il demand at the Court of Chedor-
