HIAwArnA.-We took run up to Hia-
watha, last week, for health and recreation.
We found the town much improved since
our last visit, hundred years ago or so.
Among the Improvements are several mag
,nihcens suburban residences, with finely
ornamented grounds.
We called at the Dispatch Office, where
everything seemed to be prosperous. The
proprietor complains of doing good bus
iness.
At the Hiawatha House, Brother Selles
still holds forth. lie has greatly enlarged
his house, since we were last there, and is
still crowded with guests, which indicates
that the popularity of his house is up to its
full capacity. We are glad that Selleg is
prospecting: for he roughed it in the bush
with the rest Of us old kansans; and he
had faith in Hiawatha, and showed it by
his works, when there was but little to
build faith upon.
We learned that there was considerable
emigration into Brown. County, and much
improvement going on throughout the
County. The emigration is mainly of men
OF some means, who come prepared to buy
improved farms, or to make Improvements
at once.
