a WE'LL MANAGED SPECULATIoN.-Ac COM
pany of land proprietors, owning about two
hundred acres ofland near the city of Louis
Vile, for which they paid at the rate of $105
per acre, have managed to put themselves in
the way of making good deal of money by
entering into a speculation which needed only
tact, enterprise, and ,liberality in expanding
money--in advertising and otherwise-to
make their venture a success. They bought
the land on the LIST of June, and immediately
proceeded to lay it out in squares, streets
and avenues, well fenced and whitewashed
and named appropriately--e tablishing in fact
complete town, minus the houses, public
buildings &C. Having progressed thus far,
they next advertised the sale extensively in
the city and interior papers of Kentucky and
neighboring States, prepared taking maps
of the site of the proposed new village, built
a short railroad at the expense of $3.50 DOC, and
during the days, of sale spread a fine lunch
free to all corners. The result was that a
large throng-mostly nlechanics-attended
and the enterprise of the parties was reward
ed by selling one.half of the tract for $25, 900.
The other half, the more valuable portion of
the property, was reserved by the owners,
who, it is thought with reason, viii realize a
large fortune within less, than six months
time from their enterprise. s. a 5d ls8A

funny accident whereby he unwillingly

has large willow tree near his well, the

room. Our friend very cautiously placed a
ladder on the roots in the well and descend

ladder and the tree OF course, when the
roots were cut through the ladder, Ratchet

well, but few lusty yells soon brought as
sistance and he was extricated from his damp
position. He got rid of the root difficulty,
