Kiiiderhook Wool Depot. 



This enterprise has been in successful opera- 

 tion for the past two years, and has fully met the expecta- 

 tions of the wool-growers, who have been its patrons and 

 projectors. It will be continued the present year, conduct- 

 ed as heretofore. The subscriber will be prepared to re- 

 ceive wool as soon after shearing as may be convenient for 

 the growers to deliver it. The fleeces will be thrown into 

 sorts according to quality and condition. Those who desire 

 it can have tlieir clip liept separate, and sold when ordered. 

 A discrimination will be made between wool in good or bad 

 condition. Sales will be made for cash, and the owners 

 con rely on prompt returns. The charges for receiving, 

 storing, sorting, and selling, will be one cent per lb. and in- 

 surance. Liberal advances in cash made on the usual teriiis. 

 Sacks will be forwarded to those who wish, by their paying 

 the transportation and 12i cts. each for their use, or if fur- 

 nished by the owner of the wool, will be returned, or sold 

 «t their value, as he may direct.

^^ Illinois Lands for Sale. — 115,000 

 „«Ji. acres, in tracts of 40, 80, 120, 160, acres, or more, to 

 suit purchasers. The lands are all first rate, and among the 

 very best in the State, and are situated in the counties most 

 densely settled, viz . Morgan, Scott, Cass, Mason, Menard, 

 Green, Sangamon, Logan, Christian, Macon, McLean 

 Woodford, and Macoupin. To actual settlers every reason- 

 able indulgence will be given as to time of payment. The 

 price from $3 to $5 per acre. 



A correspondent of one the New York papers writes, re- 

 specting this section of Illinois, as follows ; 



Beardstown, Cass Co., 111., Jan. 10, 1846. 



The Riches of the West — Gothamites on the Wiiig. — It is 

 now six weeks since I left the city of Gotham, during which 

 time 1 have seen considerable of the Western country, and 

 I must say the beautiful prairies of Illinois far excel what I 

 had anticipated, and this country may truly be called the 

 garden of the world. There is nothing to prevent farmers 

 in this country from getting rich, as the land is the most fer- 

 tile in tBe world, and it will produce everything grown in 

 the vegetable kingdom. 



A New England man would hardly believe me if I would 

 tell him that some fanners here produce ten thousand bush- 

 els of corn and half as many bushels of wheat in a year, to 

 say nothing of cattle and hogs, of which some raise as many 

 as five hundred head. One farmer told me he had raised, 

 the last year, 6,900 bushels of corn, and it was all produced 

 by the labor of two men only. 



Cattle and sheep feed upon the prairies all winter, as they 

 are seldom covered with snow." 



Most of the .above lands may be cultivated 100 years or 

 more without manuring, being of the richest alluvial soil. 

 The titles are indisputable and the lands will be sold at low 

 prices and in quantities to suit purchasers. Letters (post 

 paid) addressed to D. B. AYRES, Esq., of Jacksonville, 

 111., or to the subscriber, will receive prompt altenfion. A* 

 many persons out of the State have an idea that the taxe* 

 are very burdensome in Illinois, we state that they range 

 from $1,50 to $2,00 per annum on 80 acres of land.
