Though we have somo rambling adyen-
turers, starting for ''Pike's Peak" yet
we have sufficient cattle for all practical
purposes, and some are making fortunes
by raising stock to sell. The country is
well supplied with beef, which sells at
fair prices.
AS to tie clothing Of our people, ]
have the first to see yet, with rags on
their feet; and for good warm clothing,
will put them up against Seneca county
Ohio, jackson Township included.
This is like all new countries; in order
to get a start on new farms, few years
Of labor and ard care, is necessary II

by turning upon their heel, they turn

ing some kindred spirit, that they may
mutually vent their imprecations against
so monstrous a country.
Money matters are pretty close here at
present; but nearly all have what it is
necessary for them louse. We can not
expect a very great amount of wealth at
present. 1t is not the wealthy monied
aristocrats, who come among us to live.
II is the man of moderate or small means
who come here to obtain farms, and, by
their own labor, become wealthy; after
breaking up and fencing their prairies -
The man who is willing now 10 come
here, and put his small means into a good
piece Of land and live the life Of one set

know the process by which he has doub-
led his fortune every year
1t IS now but about 8 years since the
first settlement was made in this county
and / can now point you to thirty far
mers, who come here five years ago, and
ali their earthly possessions did nota
mount to $4,000, who are now worth a
round $l5,000,OO and who have not
made it by speculation in buying and sell
: ling lands but by the rise in the value Of
their farms, and the sale OF stock and
grain. All have not done this WELL but
Of those who have applied themselves
faithfully to their farms, there are more
who have tripled their fortunes, than
there arc, who have fallen short OF their
mark. Thus it is that some are taking
Che nitatory step every day toward in
dependence whilst others are too coward
ly to adventure.
EXeBpt perhaps that we are not so well
supplied with fruit at present, there is
little or no difference in living here and
in any Of the more Eastern States; aud
am rather fearful that there are some a.
mong us, who, instead Of being hurt by
too much "pure cold water" find little
more "bad whiskey" than is for their
good ]. G. p.
