E The following we extract from a Cor
~respOndeLce in the Cincinnati Daily
Times over the signature of "~Shinkwin,' u
who is now travelling in The West, and
is we'll posted:
1855" Among The places Of note along the
river Nebraska City holds a prominent
position, having rapidly ran ahead during
the last year, aud making quite a show
now in business and population. 1t is
1 apprehended, however, that UPON the
i. completion of the Union Pacific Road a
htrge proportion of its traffic will be de-
waited into other channels.
B~rownvllle Is a very pretty town In
Nebraska, rising rapidly IN consideration
q and importance. Il has been improved
within the last year by the erection of
many fine business houses, and the
Council has recently passed an ordinance
ProhIbirfng the erection Of other than
2 brick structures on The principal street.
There are many ~enterprising citizens
here, among whom might be mentioned
John l.. Carson, banker; Theo. Hill.
Messrs. Majors, Mcpherson, McLaugh-
. lin, Worthing Hoover, DR.. Holiday sc.
y There are three churches in the town.
and a district School, and Courthouse
will be completed by next spring. Ne.
EQUATIONS are on foot for placing a good
steam-ferry on the river at this point,
where the trade with Missouri is very
large. The city owns three. fourlhs #
.ssI the charter ferry privilege, and John l..
Carson the other fourth, which, in case
a good boat is provided, he proposes 20
donate 10 the lessee.
Brownville is surrounded by the finest
land in the Territory, well settled by a
q good class of farmers for many miles
back. The corn in this county (Nemaha)
is the finest / have seen anywhere. A
dollar a bushel is paid right on the farm.
Qnile a business is done here by team
9 sters in f~teighling grain to Fort Kear-
ney, where the cash price is three dollars
, per bushel. .
: ~ s.;;Shinkwin' has seen, at a glance, the
advantages Of this section Of the Terri
: tory. For, good farming land, well
b.watered and well timbered-for a pralr-
le counlry-ihis Land District cannot be
excelled. The prairie is gently rolling,
and has done well in both wet and dry
seasons, The above testimony speaks
wei for our soil, which has brought forth
an excellent crop Of corn while in many
sections east this crop is almost drowned
out. Our crops Of small grain will also
compare favorably with that of most any
county n the Nest
Our Ciiy depends upon these advant-
ages Of country and situation mainly for
its prosperity which can never fail it.
Thus every step is sure and firm, and no
collapse can come.
