feet in one-half mile. The most avail
able water power, however, is at Dell
Rapids. The banks are of solid rock,
and large pier little one side of
the centre forms an abutment that
will stand. There is a Touring mill at
this point owned by VIM. Vaness of
Sioux Falls.
Along the Big Sioux, at Sioux Falls,
Dell Rapids, and the Palisades, large
quarries of splendid building stone are
found. 1t is very hard and of redish
color. There is also on this river small
belts of timber. Yankton, the capital,
situated in the southeastern part, is a
very handsome city of thirty-five hun
dred inhabitants, only thirty-six hours
ride by rail from Chicago.
The present winter has been much
more severe than before for many years,
it being very cold from early in the fall
until the 22nd of January. But from
then until the present time, it has been
very warm and has thawed every day,
freezing little at night. For one week
it has been beautiful. If this weather
continues most of the land will soon be
in fine condition to work. This portion
of the territory has been settled rapidly
for the last year. People from all
parts of the world have come here and
taken government lands. There still
remain many thousand acres, and it is
not at all difficult to find 160 acres al
most any where, every foot of which
can be cultivated to raise the best OF
wheat and all other grains. Those
wishing homes would do well to loob
into this matter and get land that i:
to-day valuable, by simply taking it.

Letter from Dakota Territory.

DELL RAPIDS, d. t., Feb. 5, 1877.
To the Editor of the CaledOnian
Having been a reader of your paper
for several years, thought few words
in description of the southern portion
of Dakota Territory might be interest
ing to some of your readers. Sixteen
years ago Dakota was inhabited only
by Indians and wild beasts; but sixteen
years have wrought many changes.
Look at the smooth and fertile valleys
and large rivers of Dakota to-day. The
valleys are from one to three miles wide
along the river, and furnish a soil of
rich, black loan, three or four feet deep.
Back from the rivers, the land rises
gradually forming what is called table
lands. The surface of the prairie is
generally smooth, it being very seldom
one finds boulder or gravel knoll.
The Missouri entering the northwest
corner of the territory, runs diagonally
across it, giving it an outlet to st. Louis
and New Orleans, and to numerous
forts and Indian agencies in the north
west; also to Fort Benton in Montana,
distance of 1900 miles. Large steam.
ers make from three to four trips yea
to Fort Benton, carrying large amoun
of freight, besides many passengers
The Big Sioux, rising in nearly th'
central part of the territory, forms i
part of the boundary line between Da
kota and Iowa. This river is abOu
two hundred miles in length, having
MANY tributaries. 1t furnishes excel
lent water power, only partly improved

Truro. The little fellows got out and

derful Carlsbridge, with its beautiful old tower;
the Cathedral OF st. Vitus Wsllensten's old
palace; and the old room Of the senator's in
the royal palace, out OF whose windows the i'm
perial councillors we're thrown-the beginning
of the Thirty Years War. From Bohemia, we
are transported to the celebrated Hot Springs
Of Arkansas, treated in paper profusely Illus
trait ed, and as useful to those specially interest
ed in this American Baden as il is picturesque
and entertaining to general readers. From
Arkansas we are carried to the Valley Of the
Wye, on the Welsh Border, and the magnificent
ruins OF Chepstow and Raglan castles, and OF
TIntern Abbey, are laid before US in excellent
engraungs. Thence we are brought home
again to Life on Broadway, treated in Mr..
Rideing's happest vein, and illustrated by our
best artists. In Sappho we have beautiful
novelette, of tragic interest from the pen Of
Mrs. &. V. Hamilton, with three remarkably
effective illustrations by Abbey, This tragedy
eliminating under Italian skies is followed by
one OF a more familiar kind in the brief but
touching sketch OF Mike, also finely illustrated.
J. L. Trowbridge contributes Old Man Gram,
another OF his Ballads OF To-Day, with three
capital illustrations by Remnant. j. w. De-
Forrest, in a brilliant paper, shows how the

Science has accomplished no more wonderful
or gratifying result than the perfection OF an
attitude to the chilling signs of approaching age,
something to obliterate the tell-tale tracks of
time. and preserve the natural adornments of
youth to ripe old age. Halls Hair Remover
does all this, and its praise resounds in cottage
and palace. The jewellers among the SHOWS Of
Norway aud the peasants OF sunny France and
SPAIN find use for IT, and find means to get it,
and il does not disappoint them. The whteu-
ing locks again resume their Youthful color, the
thin, dry. aud faded hair becomes bright and
glossy. The whole appearance is changed as il
by magic, and the man or woman. who, before
was called aged, now appears as one in the
prime OF life. Such wonderful changes cannot
pass unnoticed. and they have produced the
unprecedented demand that now exists for the
first and only article ever compounded that
manner.-Few Erie. Woodstock, Ill.
