Stenrnes. For the Herald. Probably at no time in the history of this country has any single state of the thirty eight composing the American Union received so much attention from the people as the State of Kansas is now receiving, From its first territorial organization, it has occupied a prominent position in our countrv's annals. At that time, the competent teachers, our churches are numerous and equally well supplied with intelligent and competant ministers Persons seeking a home can find one as rich, beautiful and pleasant in Butler tablished. As a stock country it ia good though susceptible of considerable improvement in this particular, the chief difficulty consists in the short-lived nature of the wild grasses of which there are many varieties most of them growing luxuriently and during their season proving very nutritious and upon which all grass eating auimala thrive to remarkable degree.

With the coming of frost however, this nutriment is lost: when the stock raiser must resort to hay and grain till tho grass comes The remedy lays in the cultivation of the tame varir ties of grass, all of which do well so far as they have been tried. Stock live anil thrive in the open air the year round though it is better to provide shelter in winter from both humane and economical reasons. To cut along story short it can be said that Kansas is preeminently an agricultural state, a ltd all branches of that industry are followed successfully, all existing drawbacks where not suscepti in theWhitewater Valley as any where on terra-firma- Thosc wishing a village residence can find as fine and healthy location in To- agitation of the question destined to finally convulse our nation to its centre wanda as can be found anywhere; it is beautiful for situation" located on a plateau on the east side of the Whitewater and over one hundred rods from J. M. BRALEY'S this romantic stream, near the centre of this magnificent county, and on the Main track of the St.

Louis, Ft. Scott, Too much cannot he said in eoni-inendalion of the dealer, mechanics and. business men in this town; who hav-? stayed here and worked, through a calamitous summer nnd a stagnant winter, and by their vontterfui tenacity of life, their extreme giittyness and perseverance, have come out in the lead of their business. They have stuck to their business while others deserted the town, and not one of them regrets to-day, that they are -tow inTowanda nnd doing business. The reward of their perseverance is coming; a prosperous summer is coming; Whitewater and Towanda dirt is becoming more valuable every day, and not a day passes but some new industry is located here.

Where it will lead to it is hard to.say, for the possibilities arc continually increasing. The demand 'r help at present exceeds the supply and the more help there is here the more use there will be for it. Towanda as a place of residence has always been a location; the best and purest stream in the county runs through the wide and fertile valley in which the bright little town seems to repose. The crops in tLe western portion of the county have always exceeded those of the eastern, and the best farms and the most pros perous farmers rn the west al together, let alone Sutler county, lay along the Whitewater Valley. A better location for a town than Towanda does not etist, as time is now proving, The prosperity long delayed is coming here at last, and it would be a wise move for anybody to pick up some of the lots round town before the main rush comes in, which it is now certain to do, in spite of tre quiet nnd peaceful inclinations of our citizens, while they can be bought 9t a reasonable figure.

The cry now is "westward;" and -many are going out to find vacant farms. Others again go for thettwns and they will stop where they imagine their best chances lay, A town with prospective main line, with one already running through it, with many industries located and many more in view, with residences and businets houses in course of erection and more in der.iand, with works under construction, and others continually projected, with full employment for 'everybody and a demand for more help, and a general rush of business that our merchants can hardly keep up with, offers sufficient inducements: and when they stop they find, an enterprising, friendly, lively, sociable, industnous.sober, persevering, moral, intellectual and prosperous people; fertile, flourishing nnd prolific vountry; a temperate, genial and healthy climate: pure, limped, cool, nod refreshing water; good wholesome nourishing and substantial food; plenty to do and good pay for good work; good appetite and plenty to eat; and Wichita Rail-road. ble of entire eradication are capable of The following is some of the cheap bargains I have in real estate in this QOtinty, viz. 100; 100 acres mile from To HARNESS HEAD QUARTERS Is The CHEAPEST Place In BUTLER-COUXTT For Harness, Collars, Bridles, Whips, Brushes, Nets, Curry combs, pads, Etc. wanda No.

Bounded east and south by slave holding territory its geographi. position at once made it the battle ground for opposing elements, -anxious to obtain a foothold in what the tdave holders denominated their territory. The opposi tion to that accursed institution used every legitimate means to secure its organization on anti-slavery basis. Those who defended the system realizing the danger to the slave power sure to result from si c'l aetioii also made use of every means in thetrpower to frusta te the design, not by any means confining thenuclves to the legitimate. The resulting contests charac.cried an they were by all the zeai and fervor of those who were conscious of the justness of their cause, on the one side, and by all the brutality and hatred engendered in a people accustomed to the crimes an.l outrages belonging to a.

Certain it is that no other state in ti American Union has so many of the natural qualifications essential to the well-being of its citizens and none with so few drawbacks located in allmost the exact center of it great nation, possessing a climatcin which the extremes of heat and cold are unknown, whose airhsremarkably 'ree from the miasmatic taints peculiar to lower altitudes, and in which that foe to hum? lifel'ulmonarv ca, water runs through the pasture, most of the land first bottom this is one of the best and most complete farms in the country and one of the most valuable. great improvement indeed nature hi: is left little to be done in this respect. iSinceit is by the single industry of agriculture that all others ar) supported, it naturally follows that manufactories A other branches of trade have located' with in the borders of the state as the agricultural industries increase, the others will multiply also untillthe most enthusiastic and visionary predictions of its future greatness may materialize into facts. In Educational matters the State of Kansas leads: her public school system is eqnalled by few and excelled by no other state.

From its inception it baa been the care and pride of our citizens. Fvcry community has its school house they follow the immigrant in his march towards the setting sun, dotting the praries and constituting the milestones of civilization and progress. Though at first somewhat cumbersome and not entirely clear, the laws governing the system, as rapidly as practicable arc being remodeled and simplified and it must in justice be said that in their execution, the officers in charge from the highest to the lowest have apparent' ly been actuated only by a desire to better the system and improve the condition of the schools.
