Leaving the East and arriving at
Chicago or Indianapolis, bow shall we
reach the WestY The best Line is &C.
kuowledged to be the c., b q @ Joined
together with the i. Dc NJ Railroad by
the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
called the uilngton Route,
The Main line of the Route running
to Omaha, connects with the great Pa
cific Roads, and forms to-day the lead
ing roule to California. The Middle
Branch, entering Nebraska at Platts-
mouth, passes through Lincoln, the
State Capital, and will this year be
finished to Fort Kearney, forming the
shortest route across the Continent by
over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ, di-
verging at Red Oak, falls into line
running down the Missouri through st
Joe to Kansas City, and all Kansas.
Passengers by this route to Kansas,
see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Mis-
souri,, aud, by slight divergence, can
see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should remem-
Der the Burlington Route, for its towns
"high cleaning from afar"-its tree
iringed streans-its rough bluffs and
quarries-its corn-oceans stretching
over the prarics further than the eye
can reach.
Land-buyers will be sure 20 remem-
Der it, for they have friends among the
two thousand who have already bought
farms from Gee S. Harris, the Land
Commissioner of the B. & NJ. r. r. at
Darlington, Iowa, or among the four
thousand home -steaders and pre-emptors
who last year filed claims in the Lincoln
land office, where "Uncle Sam is rich
enough to give us all farm"

NgGa Gomc.-The AIerts, Of this
place, sustained tremendous defeat at
the hands OF the Lightfoot club, of
Brook vile, on Saturday last. The
former club left here on Friday accou-
panied by few friends, and arrived in
DrooSvile by six o'clock, where they
were met by members of the Ligh ttoot
club at the American House. Friday
evening and Saturday morning was
spent ia sauntering around and viewing
the town, and on Saturday afternoon at
o'clock both clubs appeared on the
ground ready for play, Mr.. q. q. Rich
ards having been chosen umpire, play
was called at 2:45 with the Lightfoots at
the bat, the Alerts having won the toss.
1t is unnecessary for us 10 give de-
tailed account of the game from its

interesting, made SO By the bad playing
Of the Ridgway boys. We have seen
the Alerts play good game of ball, and
had some hopes that they would sustain
their hitherto good reputation at hand
ling the ball and bat, but we must say
that the playing indulgod in by them on
Saturday, would have disgraced nine
that never saw a base ball. To be sure,
the Alerts played at a disadvantage,
several of the players were out Of con-
dition the grounds were not what would
be called fair grounds, being bounded
