Crops of nil kind are very fine. Old eastern farmers , who are nt proiont btuvcsttDg tholr ami ] grain , tay that wheat will yield from twenty-fire ; to forty bnshola par acre and oata from forty to uovonty-fivo. Corn Is looking voiy Cno with every prospoc of an abundant crop. This may ceom atrango to some who nro unacquainted with western path and vim , an eighteen months ago there was not fifty acres o cultivated ground in tha county , and the cattle kings who resided hero would no allow any one to n y that crops could bo raised hero. In fact the few who wore hero did not dare to attempt to raise nn ; crops. If they did BO , tholr crops worn mysteriously destroyed , BO that no sac cossful Attempts wore made before 1881 Ogihlla U growing very rapidly , and what a yosr ago was a few homos , la now a prospsrons young city.

Once started ou that far journey , many a weary month must elapse ere any tidings could roach them from the homo they had toft. Great was the excitement when a com pany of fearless , determined moo , an nounced their resolution to carry letters from the shores of the iVtlantlo to ttioao of the Pacific In fourteen daye. The feat was deemed Impossible. Neverthe less the Central Overland California and Pike's Peak express waa duly organized , the vast expanao of country right acrois the great Continent was divided into runa of sixty miles , and at each terminus rude log hats were erected at stations and a table a for men nnd boasts. The latter were strong , swift ponies , selected for their hardiness and great powers of endurance , and the rldora w ore ell picked men , experienced scouts and ttnppors , noted oven In that region of keen , hard-riding men for courage and good horsemanship ; and many a tltno must both have boon tiled to the utter- moat In the course of thoao terribly long and awfully lonesome tides across thu trackless prairie , continually In danger of attack , by day or by night , by wild In dians or highway robbera. Gnco a week an oxprcsa mosaongor atutod from olthor aide of the great con tinent. From the firat moment to the laat , not a second must bo lost. As long as the pony could gallop , gallop ho must ; and the eager baaata acomodas keen ai their riders , nnd scarcely needed the cruel spur to urgs them on. For sixty miles al a stretch the must keep up tholr utmost speed , and when at length the goal was reached , where the next mea- Bonger waa waiting in the siddlo , ready to start without otio minutes dulay , tha precious letler-bag waa pitched from ono piatman to tbo other , and , erj the weary Incomer had oven dismounted , hia successor had started on hia onward way. Then pony and man might rest and feed , und rt < et again , till thu return of the mosaengor with re-lilled lotter-bag , which nits warranted to accomplish its journey of upwards of 2,000 milea in 240 hours ( The railway on the New Yi > rk aide being already constrcc'.od ai far aa St. Joseph , tlut station wan the cistern point to which the Pony Exprena had to run ) This Pony Exproaa was contlnnod for two yenra , ascampllohing iti work with amazing regularity , and involving many a feat of splendid riding and wilrt ndvon- turo.
