How to go West. -

Forty years ago, Illinois was as far
West as most people wished to go and
journeys were made in the legendary
Prairie Schooner" but in these days of
Progress and improvement, the word West
has come to mean Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas, Colorado, California and the Ter
ritories, and the Traveller reaches almost
any point therein by Z splendid Line of
Railr Dad.
This Line of Railroad is the Burlington
Route, which starts from Chicago over
the Chicago, Burlington 4 Quincy R. r.
from Indianapolis over the indianapolis
Bloomington 81 Western Short Line, and
| from Logansport, over the Toledo, Pc
oria & Warsaw r. R., and running through
BURLINGTON, reaches Omaha, Lincoln,
Nebraska City, St. Joseph, Atchison
Leavenworth and Kansas City, connect
+, ing with the Union Pacific, Kansas Pa
cific and other Railroads running from
those cities.
| Always go "By way of Burlington, .
and you will be sure to be right.
The Burlington Route has admirably
answered the question, How to go West ?
by the publication of a truthful and inter
esting document, filled with facts in re
gard to Time, Connections, Accommoda
lions, rates of Fare, and other interesting
i items, and illustrated by large map
(! truthfully showing the whole West, which
they distribute free of charge. Copies

HARPER'S MAGAZINE.

!. No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly in Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
cd, are yet admirably adapted to the popu--
lar understanding, and designed as much to,
difuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion of Useful knowledge"
The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses OF people. There are few
intelligent American families IN which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated
Harper's is edited. There is not cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly more popular magazine in the world

as not to permit of any comparison between
it and any of their number.
Its columns contain the finest collections of

Its illustrations are numerous and beauti-
full, being furnished by the best artists in the

Harper's Weekly deserves its pTimaey in
this class of publication, alike for the value
of its matter as the excellence ofits illustra-
tions. The spirited and telling pictorial sat
Tres of Mast are power in society, and are

This paper at the outset occupied 4 place
not filed by any American periodical, and
won for itself a deserved popularity. 1t is
really the only illustrated chronicler of lash

are worth the subscription price of the paper.
While fully maintaining its position as a mir
ror of fashion, it also contains stories, poems,
brilliant essays, besides general and person

spared no labor or expense necessary to make

The farm of the Town Market for
the remaining eleven months of 1872
was sold at auction by the Treasurer
on Tuesday last, in accordance with
the resolution adopted by the Com
mon Council at their last meeting.
Mr.. A. E. Ramirez was the purchaser,
and the price bid was eight hundred
and fifty dollars, or a small fraction
over seventy-seven dollars per month.
The gentleman will be fortunate if he
realizes any profit from his investment,
fer We are credibly informed that the
dues collected by the Market Clerk
have not equaled the rate paid for the
lease for some time past.
