for the liberal support and encourag ementthat has
been extended to me in my business for the past
two years. This Office was opened here about two
years ago, not with the expectation of realizing
fortune, but with the hope of contributing some
thing towards the settlement and improvement of
this beautiful valley, by of direct personal
effort, and by furnishing information to those at
the East who were seeking homes and occupation
at the West. I have endeayored to keep steadily
in view the Future of this totcn and country, and
by means of considerable labor and expense, re-
gardless of present profit, my business is now es
tablished, upon firm and reliable basis; and
can offer to all who entrust their business to my
care, intimate knowledge of the country its in
habitants and their circumstances, derived from
extensive travel. and constant intercourse with
settlers, upon and since their arrival. claim to

A New ER1AL SHIP-An arial ship,
called the City Of NeaO York, intended for a
trans-A Atlantic voyage, has been in the
course of construction for some months
past in the vicinity of New York, and is
now so nearly completed that she will, says
the New York Herald, be ready to under
take the trip in October. The aronaut
who has charge of the enterprise is Mr..
Lowe, of New Hampshire, who has made
several successful ascensions. The dimen-
sions of the air-ship are greater than those
of any balloon previously built. The capac-
ity Of the gas receiver is $4,000 cubic
feet: the aggregate height of the balloon,
from the valve to the bottom of the boat, is
upwards of 800 feet; the diameter, 100
feet. Mr.. Lowe proposes to go directly
from New York to London in 48 to "a
hours.

Kangas Ed1tor 9 Hard up.,,

Our friend Martin, of the Atehison Cham
piom, has the following pathetic tribute to
"the Almighty Dollar:''
"Some time last winter we requested one
of our delinquents to bring us one dollar
in wheelbarrow, to enable US to pay off
our workmen; buy paper, ink and fuel ;
pay boarding; pay rent; and meet our
current expenses. The dollar was forth
coming, but we add with sorrow, is now
ron est. 1t has departed, left, decamped,
mizzled. absquatulated. 1t is no more
And we want another to take its place, and
do tie many wondrous things it did
Therefore we hope some one of our delin-
quents viii bring us another dollar, which
will be thankfully received, and honorably
mentioned. He can bring it in wheelbar-
row or in his pocket-book, as he pleases. -

OLD SEEDS. G.. Pardee, Of New
York, recently said: Much inquiry is
made as to the length of time in which
seeds may be safely trusted to gcrminate
If properly kept, | reply as follows -
Parsnips and rhubarb, two years; beans
and peas, two or three years; carrot, mas
turtIons, mustard, parsley aud lettuce,
three to four years; pepper. cabbage,
spinach. tomato, turnip, satisfy, radish
aud egg plant, four to FIVE years aspar,
sgus, onion, celery, okra, broccoli and
cauliaower, five to six years; beets, Gu
cumbers. gourd, melon, squash, pump
kins, corn and other grains, SIX to ten
years aud longer. The great secret Of
keeping seeds is to have them well n,a-
tussd. and KEEP: cool and dry. 1t is i'm
po.siblc TO say how long seeds may be
nade to preserve vitality, with proper
care but it is certain that any sort may
be spoiled in any year by damp and heat "
