THE following is taken from Tom
Bishops paper, the Volga Tribune,
published at Volo2, Dakota "The
Tribune has received another letter
from Miss Lena Hansch, the young
lady at Jersey City who wishes to
become the wife Of some good and
prosperous young farmer in Dakota.
The writer also encloses her photo
graph for the inspection Of the
young men who have written her
from here. The features of the
picture are what might be called
good and the physiognomist
would probably pronounce the or
iginal a kind.hearted, well-meaning
person. More ladies than gentle
men have called to see the picture
woman's proyerbial curiosity. The
general actions and talk Of the young
damsels whe called to see Miss Lena
have been about the same-gener-
ally concluding with noses pointed
sky-ward and words ~ about this
effect: LET her come; We shan't get
left on her account
The Tribune thinks Miss Ilansch,
or any other young lady at the East
who wishes to commit matrimony
in Dakota, should come out, see the
country az we'll as the young .nen,
and investigate for herself; and this
paper has so advised her by letter.
There il demand, with good wages,
here for house.girls, and no young
women willing to work can miss il
very much by coming to Dakota,
even should she die an old nj ! F"
