PECSPECTS OF EEOWNVILLE. S-'i.cc the ccmmcncemcnt of cold weather . (i:r town lias i,ot improved very rapidly, but we have every assurance of the work goinj I f,irw;ird on the opening of Spring. Theindi f;it'i.t s for a remunerative and busy season for our mechanics arc more favorable than they ' Luc ever been before since Brownvillo was l.ii.l o!T as a town. I'ut a short year ago the idea of making a : tnvD at this puint, was treated with indiffer- ri:re aid the proprietors themselves almost r faltrred in the enterprise. They disposed of x Teat i.umber of lots at prices scarcelv worth bnn'Lt at a thousand dollars a piece. It wil lc seen the idea of rearing up in the wilder rtks (i Nebraska a nourishing city, is no lm."-ran cxncrmuu;: that the destiny of r.ruwnville v ill far surpass the expectations ef her most sanguine friends. As soon at the weather will admit, we nnder s'.i;d, the erection of a first clxss hotel and two ftiac houses will be commenced and completed villi all possible rai iditv. Tho number of dwelling house?, offices, shops, &c, under con tract, is undoubtedly CTeater than at anv other town in .Nebraska. Taking into consideration the didculties which have surrounded us we arc agreeably surprised at our progress. The in sufficiency of building materials and mechanics his been the only drawback to our enterprising citizens. This we hope will be overcome in tl future and that our march will be "onward and upward." EF.F0RT OF THE TREASURES OF THE TERRITORY OF NEBRASKA. If we are not very much mistaken the Gov r::or informed us, iu Lis annual llessagc, that Nebraska was flourishing. We were delighted to hear this, but in perusing the Report of the Treasurer a different tale unfolded itself; and we have arrived at the conclusion that Nebras- t!e abstract. Citizens of Nebraska ! open your ears and listen to this wonderful revelation of the doings of our Officers : "Having received fiom my predecessor at the time of my taking possession of this office, on the first of January of the present year, no tintnnfnt, nor yrrycrs or books of any kind, I am unable to give any account of the financial affairs of tho Territory previous to that time. Ilo also states that the sum of $92 was all that remained in the Treasury for the payment of $300 and that he advanced the amount teecssary to make up the deficiency, and con fluently is now creditor to the Territory for $'J08. l'-ut three counties (Cass, Dodge and Ne maha,) have paid over to the Treasury the turns due from them, and the Treasurer of iWe, by claiming the mileage and percent on the amount paid over by him ($20,20), left the nett sum of $5,70. The Territory, we think, has reason to con- grslu1at3 herself on the amount being as hrj-e as it was and that the Treasurer of said County reside! ia so close proximity to the Treasurer's -"fliCC. IIf.w.e Tlaxts. The scarcity of timber anl high price of rails in this country, render it necessary for our farmers who have located out on the prairie, to seek some cheaper met hod pf fencing than the ancient "stake and rider." Ia other prairie countries various methods of IleJing hare been adopted, but the most antral and successful has Wen the "Madura pant." Messrs.
