of furniture or documents, and the prob

PLattsmOuth.

Last week we spent a day or two at
the above named place, and was much
pleased with the improvements going IN.
A large two story building is in cousre Of
erection for The printing office, besides
several others for residences. The SPIT
itself is no, the best for a own site, but
art aud industry sometimes step in to the
aid Of nature. 1t may be so in this case.
The present business part of the town
is situated real the landing, on the only
level street in the whole town, which is
Main street. The bluffs on the south
side Of this street are quite abrupt on
the north side the land is more slop:ng
and answers well for residences. Those
who admire romantic beauty, or " nature
in its savage loveliness,' can have it here
to their hearts content. Some of the hills
and peeks rising out of the ~ravines and
valiies will make the most splendid places
for residences in the wor!d, in due time
with plenty of money.
For two miles back from the Missouri
River, the land is broken, so much so
that it could hardly be cultivated. This re-
gion, however, has the advantage Of be-
ing well ,imbered. Just south Of the towr
there is a soiid body of good hardwoo'
timber, such as Walnut, Oak, Hickory
and Elm. Directly west Of this broker

into a beautiful prairie, unequaled 10

HIcH WArER.-For the last ten days
we have been visited by a flood, which
has forced the rivers out of their chan
nels. aud in some instances has caused
great damage in soIne' localities. The
Kansas river has been full, and along the
low bottoms has overiown, causing great
injury. The Topeka bridge, without
doubt, has been carried away, as large
quantities of bridge materials aoated past
this place on Sunday last.
All communication between this place
and the Missouri river towns, as well as
places south of the Wakarusa, was cut off
for several days in successlons, and trav.
cling was wholly stopped Stages have
been compelled to lie oveI, and the re-
ceipt of mail matter was not be thought of.
As news shall reach us from distant
points of the Territory, we are appre-
hensive that a fearful tale of suffering
will be developed. The rolling charac-
ter of The pralries, and the absence of
forests to absorb the water among the
roots of the trees, and decaying vege-
tatlon, compels il at C. to find lis
way TO the r~avines, which bears it on
with great rapidly to the lesser streams,
and those to the larger ones, ill in two or
three hours from the time a heavy shower
visits the country, many streams have ris-
en- from twenty to thirty feet, sweeping
everything before it. and then rec ding as
rapidly as they rose. Bridges, and every
thing that obsiructs their p~recipltous cur
rents, are borne away before them. Thi:
must continue TO be the case, until greater
capital shall enable us to erect more per-
manent structures. HsrdH Of Freedom.
