A Good Word from Ohio.

two dollars which yon will please place
to my credit OH your subscription list
have been taking the EAGLE about a
year, but think my time must have
expired. 1t is very welcome weekly
messenger, and am always happy to
receive It. Ii does me good to read
the fair prospects the farmers have for
a good crop out there this season, and
also hear of the continued growth and
prosperity Of Wichita.
Mr.. Adam Keller has returned from
u visit to the West, and seems very
much pleased with the Arkansas Val.
ley, and says he never saw wheat look
better than it does there, and thinks
great deal of i. will average forty
bushels to the acre. He talks Of sell.
ing two or three OF his farms in Ohio
and making an investment in the Ar
kansas Valley in the vicinity of Wich-
tia. The prospects for good crop in
Ohio, at this point, are not very fat
tering. The wheat and clover were
very badly frozen in many localities,
and the fruit likewise. There will be
peaches and 'ery few apples. Or
chards that were never known to fail
before, will not yield five bushels this
year. Yours, etc,

A War Promised.

4 Brownsville special to the Calves
ton NeWs says that Gen. Steele and
Major Dwyer left yesterday for the
Rio Gaande. Capt. McNeely and part
of his company arc below, waiting for
raiders now on this side The Next
cans report the crossing of fifty beeves
below here on Wednesday. Sergeant
Hall went to Bagdad to see some
beeves which Gen. CortuDa was ship
ping to Cuba. Many of them had
American brands, while o pile of hides
with American brands, was seen await
ing shipment. The men assisting to
ship IA say the beeyes were stolen
from Texas. About 100000 pounds of
beef is ready for shipment, undoubted-
" American, as Mexicans do not raise
half enough beef to supply their own
market. Hall was watched and sue
ceeded in taking only about twenty
brands. Sunday morning Gen. Corti-
ma left Bagdad with seventy-five men.
Above here cattle stealing is terrible.
Oxen are driven off daily. 1t is re-
ported that Gen. Steele has given or
ders for rangers not to cross tho Rio
Grande Oh account of the exasperated
feeling of the Mexicans, and the danger
that they would lay waste the country
between the Neuccs and the Rio
Grande before the force could be sent
there to check them. The war feeling
is strong ON the Mexican side.

Where Every Prospect Pleases, and

Where Every Prospect Pleases, and
Only Grasshoppers Are Vile.
The following letter was written by
one of the gentlemen of that party of
Illinoisans who visited our valley
few weeks since, at which time they
purchased quite large amount of
land through Steele & Levy's agency.
He is writing to his home paper:
EDITORS INDEPEDENT: Thinking
your many readers would like to hear
something from the Grasshoppcr Re
gions, will give them the benefit Of
my observation while travelling
through a portion of Missouri and
Kansas.
We took the o. clock train for Wich-
ita, which is about thirty miles south
of Newton. The country between New
ton and Wichitais certainly as nice as
the most vivid Imagination could pic
ture, both for farming and grazing pur-
poses, being what is called the second
bottom lands ir the Arkansas valley.
Arrived at Wichita about 8 p. IN. and
were soon made acquainted with the
firm of Steele & Levy, who are always
ready with buggies to show lands
from one to twenty miles in any direc-
ton from Wichita. These men are
the leading Real Estate agents Of
Wichita, and have gained reputation
that few firms can attain, in the way of
honest, straightforward dealing.
There is but little but that Wichita, Is
indebted to them for their Jealous
labors in inducing enterprising men
to settle up the country.
Starting promptly the roSt day at s
a. M, Mr.. Steele showed US as H,le
lands Illinois or any other State can
boast OF, both for farming and grazing.
The winter wheat (ths only kind
raised) promises to be the best of sew
eral years. 1t never winter kills and
is almost a sure crop. Corn and oats
also promise heavy yield. Judging
from the mildness of the climate, and
nature of the soil, this is destined to
be one Of the finest fruit growing Sec
tons in the State. Peaches, plums
and all kinds of small fruits do well,
and are bound to be success. AS the
country is quite new, apples have not
been tested yet, but we were informed
that some experienced fruit growers
were planting large nurseries, and
were sanguine that apples would do
exceedingly well.
Wichita, the county seat of Sedg-
wick county, is located on the big Ar
kansas river at the terminus Of the
Wichita railroad, with population of
four thousand inhabitants. 1t has an
immense Wholesale and retail trade, as
the country for one hundred miles
south, is dependent OH this point for
supplies. 1t has been only four years
since the first houses were built and |
through the entsrprising genius ex-
hibited among the people, it is bound
to be one of the leading cities in Kan
