Mr.. Editor:-As you are receiving con.
tributious from all parts of the County, per.
haps n few lines from Como, may be of
some interest. Couo is in the south tier of
townships in the county. 1t lies immediate
u south cf Liberty, aud west Of Newton.
In richness Of soil. and beauty of location
it is unsurpassed in this County. 1t is cons
paratively new in its settlement and im>
provemeut. At a very early day in the his
tory of the County. there we're u few
persons in this section, but only within a
few years has this township grown rich in
wealth and population. Within the past
three or four years there has been a tide of
immigration to the settlements here Of en-
serprising and hard working farmers, who
are breaking up the p~rairies, and fencing,
and building to such an extent and with
such energy, that it is truly encouraging to
the old settlers.
Those who have lived here for years are
doing we'll now. and have been doiug we'll
heretofore, Mr.. Durham, an old settler,
ton with an abundance of stock around
him. Mr.. Gould has been enlarging his
till able fields this YEAR. Arson, Burner,
khun. Todd, Newell, Garfield, Hopkius,
Powles. Marcy, Cress, Briggs, Manson, and
a host Of others, are all apparently, and
think really doing we'll in the pursuit Of
farming. And Mr.. Editor, what pursui, is
there more honest, more pleasant, and more
independent than farming. The lawyer is
shrewd and active. He will always meet
the farmer warmly, and always seeks the
farmers interest, yet it would be unsafe not
to watch hin while he SO carefully guards
the interest Of the working a The doc
tor is a travelling spothecary. who sore
times kills aud Sometimes cures. The
blacksmith is often,imes as hard in bis charg
es as Ia muscle. The day laborer earns his
livelihood by incessant toll. The merchant
is very homes, of course. The tailor cuts his
suits too small, and keeps the pieces for his
own use, and when he IS promoted TO Presi>
den, of the United States, he cuts his own
throat politically. The Spectator. what
shall / say of him? He is a foater, he is a

tics Como is largely Republican. At every
election this township rolls up all increased

cast our voice for ike perpetnation OF this
government, and the triumph Of the grsa
principles Of liberty.
There is quite a settlement of German,
in this township. They are iud ustrious and
peaceable farmers, and nearly all of them
are getting rich. They are building a
church which will be an ornament to the
County, and an evidence Of the faith and
religious zeal of our German friends.
