We have been kindly permitted TO
peruse letter written by MIR. ID. Lam
bert teverybody about Lebanon reneua-
bers Daye) from Henry county, Southwest
Missouri, under date OF March 7th, 1875
From the perlsal OF this letter we arc
inclined to believe that Southwest MfssemR
is not altogether q paradise. Mp. LauD-
bert says: ssTimes are very hard here thia
winter, and win be next summer, Is we
had almost an entire failure OF crops hast
summer, which len a large portion ofour
farmers destithee--i. e., not enough feed
to last the stock through the winter and
nothing TO sell to hriRg money. Yo1 can
form some idea of thu states OF bsHineas
here when tell you that if could collect
what is due me, would leave nay property
and Missouri, and 60 where the wcodbfne
twinetll. The long day spell we have had
made water scarce through the winter,
ana many head ofstocls died for want Of
water. It has been mine months since we
have had rain to supply the streams. One
or tive instances of snow melting has made
wator plenty for the time being, but the
ground being frozen hard and deep, tho
water soon ran off. - need not at
tempt to enumerate all the Obstacles tho
farmer has TO contend with here, such as
chinch bug, ny, grasshopper. grub, ete.--
let It 60, win talk of other things. have
been at this point over seven years :
am very tired of It, and am anxious to
sell at . sacrifice Of $1,000 to be able 10
get away, but.I fear won't get the cppor-
tunity. Emigration to this State has about
stopped, and all who eould, len the State
| last fall-at least this part Of it. South
west Missouri would soon be cleaned OUT
If property-holders could sell their real
estate. The winter has been and is hard
one, the ground being frozen a depth Of
| from to 31z feet, while the ground b
covered with snow. - Dave is like all
others who have resided in Oregon any
length OF time-he Is anxious to get back.
THE REPUBLrC MAGAzINE-For March.
opens with three papers, one each on tslo
Close, the Work. and the Acts OF the lass
session or the Forty-thirti Congress. The
cause of the failure and Nnpopularity Of
/ sine first session of the Eorty-thaTd CaGe-
l greGs is shown TO have resulted mainly
Il from tho commercial crisis and the dis
Itressed condition "a the country. Tho
last session has been more successful ana

/ popularity. The REPUBIsC contains an
important twenty-page paper on the Con
