Forest Hill---Junction of the Ne
osho and Cottonwood Rivers.

FOREST HILL, with its numerous advan-
II tages, is now paramount TO all other places,
as it is situated the north side and to the
Junction of the Neosho and Cottonwood Rivers.
The elevated position which the above named town
occupies, gives commanding view Of the coun-
try all around, confirming the many fattering re-
ports which have already been made by all trav-
elers, who are constantly coming this way to fill
up the fertile valleys of the Neosho and Cotton
wood. The clear, cold water of the streams tells
well for the health and prosperity of the country.
The abundance of sand which the Neosho and
Cottonwood furnish, makes this location more de-
sirable than any south Of the kanzas River.
Limestone and building stone of the very best
quality readily be obtained in unlimited guam
titles with little no expense. Contracts are be-
ing made for lime at the kiln for 25 cents per
bushel.
Two brick kilns are in successful operation, the
first and only yards of the kind in this section of
country, and contracts are being made at six dol
lars per thousand. A steam saw mill, within a
stones throw of the town. is in active operation,
and contracts daily filled of the best quality of
lumber for $25 and $50 per thousand feet. A Sec
ond Saw and Grist mill, on a large and extensive
SCALE will soon be completed by the Messrs. Baker.
The Blacksmithing and Plow factory is being
carried on by Messrs. Stevenson d Bunnell, who
are supplying the country with home manufactur-
ed articles, thus preparing the way for the hus-
bandman to turn over the soil in order that part
of the grassy plains may give way for the golden
grain which will soon cover this valley far and
wide.
The large number of buildings which are al
ready under contract give full assurance that a
large town must soon spring up. Two Stores are
now prepared for trade. The vanguard of Emil
grants who have not yet found home on this
fertile soil, invited to to the rich Valley of
the Neosho and share with those who are busy at
work building for themselves homes In the land of
the west.
The most direct route and best road from Leav-
enworth and the Missouri river is by way of To-
peka where the emigrant can cross the Kanzas riv-
er by the elegant and substantial bridge just fin
ished, the first and only bridge that river;
thence by way of Brownville, Wilmington and
Waterloo to Forest HILL thus making direct and
good route to Eagle City, Shell Rock Falls, Verdi
girls and Walnut creek country.
The natural crossing which the Junction af-
fords, is one of the many reasons why the south
ern emigration crosses this way Preparations are
being made for the speedy construction of good
Bridge at the Junction, for the better aeeommoda-
ton of the emigrant.
All those wishing for further information rela-
tive to the above named Forest Hill direct to Col

How TO SroP BLooD.-Take the fine
dust of teas, or the scrapings of the in
side of tanned leather, and bind it close up
on the wound, and the blood will soon cease
to flow. These articles are at all times ac-
cessible and easy to be obtained. After
the blood has ceased to flow, laudanum may
be advantageously applied to the wound
Due regard to these instructions will save
agitation of the mind and running for the

ING INTo THE FLEsH.-Do not cut away the
offending corner of the nail, very short, as
Is done, but cut notch in the center, quite
down to the quick. and keep that notch
there until the difficulty is cured, which
will sometimes be with the first cutting
The philosophy of the remedy is that the
cut breaks the arch, and naturally changes
the curvature of the nail, making the cor
ners turn up instead of down.
