notwithstanding the dull season, o.

Notwithstanding the dull season, our
town is progressing rapidly. Mr.. Hadley is
building new store, and another will soon
be commenced. Another blacksmith shop
will be opened in a few days. by Mr.. Kirk.
Mr.. Spencer has commenced the erection
of large hotel. Mr. VIM. Perry is about to
establish furniture warehouse, and Will
commence manufacturing as soon as the ma
chinery can be put up.
Several dwelling houses are in process OF
erection, and many others win go up as soon
as lumber can be had. As an evidence OF
the rapid improvement of Shis place and
neighborhood, the three saw mills in this
vicinity cannot supply lumber as fast as
wanted.

Ladies Should Emigrate.

We observe from late census that Mas
sachusetts has an excess of several thou
sand females over the male population OF
that State. The recent census of st. Louis
shows disparity in the sexes of nearly
1000 in favor of males. By the census of
Iowa, the males are IN majority of nearly
thirty thousand. Other Western States are
also needing large reinforcements of the fair
sex. We believe that in Kanzas the dis
parity is still greater than in the States.-
Who can doubt from these figures that more
ladies should emigrate to the West? Bro
ken down political hacks have for years been
in the habit of going West to secure posi-
ton, and sometimes they meet with success.
Sterling ability is always appreciated and
rewarded in the tougher sex t'out West, !"
and we believe real worth in the fair sex
equally sure of appreciation and reward
These figures also indicate to our hundreds
of unmatched lords of Kanzas soil where
they may no doubt proftably spend few
weeks of their leisure the coming fall and
winter, and from what we can learn of in
tentions to 60 East, not few of them may
avail themselves of the rare chances offer
ed. Feeling as we do deep and growing
interest in the prosperity of this our cho-
sen home, we wish all having an eye in that
direction the most abundant success, and
shall not fail to speak good word as to the
general character of the young minated
men of Kanzas whenever occasion shall
offer.-Laacrence Republican.

A Western Harvest Home"

week he went up on top of a hill called Mt.
Zion, six miles from GAINESVILLE, Rock coun-
ty, Wis, and counted on the plain one hun
dred and sixty-four horse power reaping
machines, busily cutting down wheat
There were one thousand men, women and
boys following after, binding and shocking
up the golden sheaves. 1t was sight worth
seeing, to behold the grain falling and being
gathered up at the rate of two hundred
acres per houri

Farming in The West.

us yesterday that he came to this county
FIVE years ago, with family of nine and
Just seven dollars IN cash, TO begin with.
He has now farm of nearly two hundred
acres of as rich soil as the sun shines on;
good house, reapers, mowers, plenty OF
horses and stock, and ''silver to spare. p
He will harvest this year a hundred and
thirty acres of wheat, fifty of corn and
about fifteen of oats. He win have several
thousand bushels of grain, which will be
worth, if there is an average yield and price,
not far from five thousand dollars. During
his residence in Rock Island county he has
sold all his wheat at an average price of a
dollar bushel. This is only one instance
out of the many, how farmers succeed in
the West-Rock Islander.

Ole Bulls Last Night in America.
r. nI. I

On Wednesday Ole Bull, accompanied by
his son, youth of seventeen, sailed from
this port In the steamer America.
We saw him for few moments on the
deck of the vessel as she left the wharf,
looking in much better health than he has
appeared during the past year. He has
gone to his beloved Norway, for which
country he has the affection of true son.
We understand that the evening before sail
ing, he spent the hours at friends house
with his violin, playing to a small company
which had assembled to shake hands with
him for the last time. It is said by those
who were present that his delightful music
never seemed more wonderful-that his soul
never seemed more closely allied with his
harmonies.
Till midnight he continued to draw forth
his rayishing sounds, possessed as it were
by the very Genius of Music. During the
last piece he performed he seemed spell
bound. aad continued to lay his faceglovingly
on his instrument. rs if unwilling to end
the strains. At last he ceased-it seemed
as if the old Morse spirits had been whis-
pering to him of his home. The earnest
good wishes of thousands In America viii

A Masonic Movement.

We find the following announcement in
the Richmond (Va.) Dispatch of the 9Th
inst:
We understand that one or more of the
Masonic Lodges of this city have originated
a plan for the purchase of Mount Vernon,
which, if taken hold of In earnest by the
"brothers of the mystic tie'' throughout the
Union, cannot fail of success. The plan
proposed is to get the subordinate Lodges
to contribute 81 for each member. The
price asked for the Mount Vernon estate is
$500, 900, and the Masonic statistics show
that the order numbers three hundred thous-
and; so that il all the Lodges in the Union
accede to the proposition-and the probabil-
ity is that they will-the purchase of Mount
Vernon may be looked upon asa fixed fact.
But the suggestion, as given out, does not
stop here.
When the land which contains the last
mortal remains of the immortal Washington
is possessed by the Masons, they propose to
present it to the State of Virginia, only re-
serving to their order the right to meet around
the tomb of their deceased brother once eve
