SETTERS. 
I hare for sale another litter of Setter Pups from my 
celebrated bitch “ Sue,” by Mosher’s thoroughbred 
dog “Frank.” “Sue” is out of Warwick’s “Flora,” 
by Charles Aurand’s celebrated dog “ Colonel,” of 
Clyde, N. Y., one of the best dogs in the State. 
“Frank” was bred by Mr. H. L. Wilkinson, of West- 
field, Mass., and be^des being very staunch, and pos- 
sessing a wonderful nose, is one of the handsomest dogs 
that ever pointed game. Color of the pups, lemon and 
white, and black and white. Price $2.5 each.

Chicago and North-Western Railway. 
This great corporation now owns and operates over two thoosand 
miles of road, radiating from Chicago like the fingers in a man's 
band; its lines reach in all directions and cover abont all of the 
country north, north-west and west of Chicago. With one branch 
it reaches Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, and the country north 
thereof; with another line it pushes through Janesville. Watertown, 
Oshkosh. Fond da Lac, Green Bay, Escanaba. to Nagaunee and 
Marquette; with another line it passes throngh Madison, Elroy, and 
tor 8t. Paul and Minneapolis; branching westward from Elroy, it 
runs to and through Winona, Owatonna, St. Peter, Mankato. New 
Ulm, and stops not until Lake Kameska, Dakota, is reached; an- 
other line starts from Chicago and runs through Elgin and Rockford 
to Freeport, anil, via the Illinois Central, reaches Warren. Galena 
and Dubuque, and the country beyond. Still another line runs 
almost due westward, and passes throngh Dixon, Sterling. Fnlron, 
Clinton (Iowa), Cedar Rapids, Marshalltown, Grand Junciion, Mis- 
souri Valley Junction, to Council Bluffs and Omaba. This last- 
named is the “ Great Trans-Continental Route,” and the 
pioneer overland line for Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, 
Montana. Nevada, California and the Pacific Coast. It runs 
throngh the Garden of Illinois and Iowa, and is the best, safest, 
shortest and best route to Omaha, Lincoln, and other points in 
Nebraska, and for Cheyenne, Denver, Salt Lake City, Vini- 
GiNiA City, Carson, Sacramento, San Francisco and all other

cumiortable equipment of any road in the West, and has no com- 
petitor in the country. It is eminently the favorite route with the 
Chicagoans traveling west, north, or north west, and is acknowl-
