NTASAAAA - S@cA NHA -. F
have been made al moderate prices, at
private sales,
A three story brick apartment Of a
block % by so feet, sold for $4,000, which
is several thousand dollars less than it
cost or could now be erected for.
Another small store house, about l6
by 80 feet, n story high, % feet lot
near Western Exchange Bank, sold for
about $500.
A % feet lot, near said Bank, for 5000.
The above lots are all on Farham
street, in the most business portiOnsof the
city, and well situated.
Another % feet lot was sold on Harvey
near the Douglas House, for $500.
The low range of the above prices is
not caused by a lack of confidence in Ne
braska property, but because the neces-
sity of the seller compels the sacrifice, for
the prospects are substantially better than
they were a year since, although times
are acknowledged to be dull at present.
Instead of the high rates for city and
farming property, which existed last year,
and which deferred many from buying and
residing among us, and drove them to
seek homes elsewhere, where they could
use their means to better advantage, we
now have the reduced prices to encourage
their investments, both for profit and i'm
provement for their own occupancy.
LABoRERs AND MECHANICS.
Nebraska and the Great West now Of
fer extraordinary inducements to the
common Iaborer and mechanic who are
now reduced to limited means in the older
sections of the United States, in conse-
quence of the failure to procure employ
ment.
In the West, they can find work at good
living prices, when, at the same time, in
the eastern portion of the Union, they
cannot labor at any price.
When times are good and work can be
! procured anywhere, then again the West
, is superior, for they can demand better
wages and ready pay, and when they
! have earned their money, even in small
> sums they can invest it profitable in pro-
; curing cheap homes for themselves.
l The land sales in contemplation this
= fall will render them opportunities to
purchase wild lands at 81 25 per acre from
government, or at small advances from
: original purchasers.
More than all that, a man of any in
! dustry and enterprise can besides amass-
ing wealth, show that he is one of the
: Almighty noblemen but as long as he
remains in those old cities, he is reduced
to the position of a servant.
SOCIETY.
Many object to emigrating West, fear
ing hat they cannot find good society,
and, at the same time, are mingling with
those whose claims on enlightened and
: intelligent association is very limited, and
whose condition in that respect would be
enhanced by locating in Nebraska. Here
is industry, enterprise, good society,
! wealth, and intelligence, not to be excel
: led by the same number of persons mis-
: c%ellaneously selected on the globe.
> The lazy and INDECENT drones and pau
pers never get this far from their old and
accustomed haunts, from the fact that
! they lack the energy, enterprise and
means to- travel, and you often hear them
assert that they will not move out of the
cities because they cannot find good So
ciety.
E~migrating to the West changes a
. persons disposition and nature in refer
renee to things around them, encourages
/, them to perseverance and industry to &C
/ cumulate and lay up treasures for the fu-
: ture, enlightens their understanding, and
: gives them confidence by their showing
the good results that flow from industrial
: pursuits, and encouragement of intelligent
and industrious neighbors.
MAILS.
= Letters mailed at Omaha for Brown
r vile, Sept. %, 1857, have just been rec
eived by return mail, being six months
from the time they were written. This
r is depending on the mail for quick news
v with a vengeance.
A short time since, whilst visiting a
city of Nebraska, l noticed the mail bag
lying on the hotel porch, and had been
there from early in the morning on Sum
day until after dark. When the tavern
keepers attention was drawn to it by a
| gentleman making the enquiry why it
| was not taken to the post Office, only a
few rods distant; TO which the landlord
r replied that it was a common occurrence
