. preaching completion, sufficient
variety of religious denominations
to give people of every creed a
choice The climate is dry and sa-
lubrious-the winters being short
and pleasant,
The population comes from every
section of the Union, with but few
old persons, and none whose coun-
tenances are cadaverous and sickly.
All seem to belong to the Kansas
tEulogy Society, and have learned

The Democratic candidate for
Governor of the State resides here,
and is personally very worthy and
popular man who will add strength
to the ticket-cnough to carry the
County by small majority. He
will, however, need eight or ten
thousand more votes than he can
Get for election. The State nomi-
nations on the Republican ticket
are worthy of their place, and are
received with great unanimity. The
canvass is fairly opened, and no in
telligent Democrat has any other
expectation than n majority Of
about ten thousand for Grant and
Colfax.
Missouri is safe for the Rcpubli-
can ticket, notwithstanding the per
sistent and bullying efforts in many
localities to defeat the operations

worn on such an GRAND, and hence
the perpetration of outrages cannot I
escape punishment.

Christian gentleman, who is ever
ready to bear his full share in enter
prizes for the public good.

ful section of country on the old

thousand acres of choice land in ,
the celebrated Kickapoo reserva-
Iion and vicinity at low prices and t
on accommodating terms to actual
settlers, there is a constant press Of
viewers and purchasers over this !
road. Ohio is well represented in
filing up theselocalities. The res r
