Our correspondents should bear in mind
that we always go to press on Thursday at
one o'clock. Our correspondence should
reach us as early as Tuesday night or We'd
nesday noon at the farthest. Send your
: communications early, and then if some
thing of more than ordinary interest tran
, spires send another letter. We can some
times find room at late hour for short

tirely omit series of common place items
for lack of space and want of TIME to put
them in type.
They talk of starting an other newspaper
3 at Hartford. No doubt the man who under
t takes it will get extremely wealthy. There

3 al unoccupied points that would no doubt
prove to be bonanzas for some enterprising
chap with plenty of money, who desires to
go into the newspaper business. For in
, stance Glendale, Grand Junction, White
Oak, Kibbies, Porter Center and several
! other localities are at present open fields for
o journalistic enterprise.
4 letter from C. II. Jacobs Esq, one OF
the old friends of the NoRTHERNER, written
at Valley Grange, Neb., speaking of the
prospects of that country, says that Fairview,
8 or McCook as it is now called, station on
the B. & NJ. Il. Il. near where Mr.. J. is To-
Gated, is having regular boom. This road
has recently been completed to Denver, Col
and McCook is about midway between Den
, yer, Col. and Omaha, Neb. Where there was
nothing but a dry goods store and post-office
few weeks ago, buildings are being rapidly
erected and lots are selling as high as $1,000
and advancing all the time. We hope Mr.
Jacobs may share in the prosperous times
they are having there.
