uoriharu Kansas.

A few days. travel in the counties
Of Doniphan, Brown, Nemaha and
Marshall, will develop to the inquir-
ing mind evidences of the prosperous
agricultural condition Of Northern
Kansas.
Doniphan county, which contains
some Of the oldest and best cultiyat-
ed farms in the Territory, is thickly
cultivated by sturdy, Industrious far
mers, whose yearly toll is giving cur
rency and credit to that wealth that
has ever lain dormant beneath the
unmolested sod.
Brown and Nemaha counties, di-
rectly west, are not SO densely inhab-
tied, but contain many excellent
farms, thriving towns, and a similar
working population to Doniphan.-
Of the two, Nemaha has the greatest
body of timber, and perhaps more
land under cultivation.
Marshall is still farther west, and
more sparsely populated, but, like
the others, is situated within that
tract of territory which is the garden
spot of Kansas.
Among the most prosperous towns
in Northern Kansas are Troy and
Highland, in Doniphan county, Hia-
watha in Brown, Pennington, Alba
ny and Seneca in Nemaha, and Ma
rysville in Marshall.
Senaca is in the northern part OF
Nemaha, is the temporary county
seat, and is benefited by that por-
tion Of the migration for the gold
mines which starts from Leayen-
worth, but is too far south for that
starting from Palermo and St. Jo-
seph. Pennington is situated ON the
Nemaha river where the old Califor-
MIA road crosses, and is the direct
route for the emigration starting from
St. Joseph and Palermo. Albany is
in the eastern part of the county, and
on the line Of the new Territorial
road from Palermo to Pennington
and Marysville.
There is one other town, which,
through some extraordinary process.
has made its name mentionable
abroad. This fact induced us, as il
may have some others, to visit it re-
cently-the town Of Richmond. i
contains 800 acres Of unadorneG
land, with not a house or even &
shanty on it. Near the town site
however, are two log houses, on diff.
ferent claims. In one of them is {
small stock Of goods, and in the 9th.
er, once a week, small amount o.
mail matter.
There are many such towns al
Richmond, which, after futile at
tempts by the proprietors to induce
somebody to build, come at last tc
the legitimate uses-corn-growing.
A singular law suit occurred il
Nehaha county, last fall, emanatinG
from ono of these town farms. On,
Of the Central City Company, fail
ing to succeed in selling town prop
erty, plowed up and fenced in th'
town site, and put in a crop Of corn
A neighbours cattle broke in and de-
stroyed much Of the corn. Th,
neighbor was sued for damages, bu
turned the tables on the company fo,
fencing up the streets and alleys
The matter is still in litigation
