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. Ovebmas & Mass, of Bloom-
ngton, HI., whose advertisement will be seen
'n another column, aro the most extensive
dcrs in this Hedge Plant In tha West, and
fcve procured almost the entire yield of the

5th. All papers connected with Pre-emption
cases must be prepared in due form, by the
rre-emptors or their agents. This duty can
not be too strictly complied with, as it is
especially required, by a recent Circular from

Cth.'In all cases of contest, the party who
first applies to make proof and payment, must
give the notice to the other claimant, and fix a
time for trying the case.

one Warrant can be used. If a Warrant of a
less denomination than 1G0 teres is used, the

We will take pleasure iu affording any in

fail to attend the foregoing requirements. By

patched. JOHN A. PARKER, Register.

OUR Stock of Fruit Trees, 4c, for sale the pres
ent r ail und next Spring, is Very large and fino,
including all the most approved varieties of Apples,
Pears, Peaches, Cherries, Apricots, Nectarines' Plums
Quinces, Grapes, Currants, Goosberries, Raspberries,
Strawberries, etc. Especial caro has been taken to
procure and propagate mostly such varieties of each
class as are found best suited to the soil and climate
of the West and South, where most of the winter
fruits, especially of the Eastern States, are of no
value.
Our stock of Peach Trees is remarkably fine,
and the price so low that all those who lost their
trees the past winter, should now replace them. Of
Cherry Trees also we have n fino supply, mostly
grown on Mahaleb ttoel n, which secures greater har
diness to the tree, and if trained rather low, so as
to cause tbe tops to shade tho stem from the hot
sun, it is bcleivcd no dilhculty will be found in grow
ing fino cherries in the South and West. Of Pears
we have a splendid lot, especially on dwarf trees, on
strong Anger (Juince ttoelt, the best for rpeedy and
abundant productiveness.
Catalogues, with prices, et?., will be sent to all
applicants. Nurserymen and Dealers in Fruit Trees
are invited to call and examino our stock of Peaches
Pears and Cherries, especially, before sending East,
