away, but is settling, it is said. Going out of 
the little river into the lake from our starting 
place,we were hindered an hour by a great raft 
of logs just from the Wolf river, a hundred 
miles northwest, whence they had floated past 
Oshkosh ever the lake, and were bound down 
the railroad to Waupun and thence down 
Rock river to Janesville. Reaching Oshkosh 
in two hours, we found it a place of 4,000 
people, on the North bank of the Fox river, 
near the lake. The ground rises gradually 
from the water, and the dry, level plain 
spreads hack. From the west and northwest 
the Fox and Wolf rivers come to the lake, 
uniting a few miles above. Steamboats go 
daily forty miles up each stream, and could 
go further. Wolf river supplies from its pine 
woods rafts of logs sawed up by mills at the 
towns below. The country around is good, 
openings and forest mingled. Oshkosh has a 
population cne-fourth Germans, and bids fair 
to be a large town. Five steamboats ply daily 
on the lake and rivers, stopping there. 
Twenty miles north, at the end of the lake, 
where it narrows again into the river flowing 
toward Green Bay, are Neenah and Menasha, 
opposite each ether, with some 1,500 people 
each, and five miles below Appleton—a fine 
place built on high ground, where is a College 
with 300 students, including the preparatory 
department. The place has an excellent 
water power, equal to Lowell. With only 
fourteen miles portage, steamboats run from 
the lake and Green Bay, and in a year that 
will be passed by a canal, thus opening navi¬ 
gation to Buffalo. Remember that ten years 
ago scarce a white man was in this region—no 
craft but Indian canoes on the lake. Since 
spring fifty tons of freight daily have been 
left at Oshkosh, most of which remains there. 
There are eight steam engines running saw 
mills and machine shops, and several more 
will soon be in action. Up Wolf river 150 
miles are the Winnebago Indians, some 2,200 
of whom receive their yearly pensions from 
Government. But the tide of Saxon life 
pours all around them, and they begin to look 
over the Mississippi for new hunting grounds. 
At noon yesterday I went on board a little 
steamer for Berlin—forty miles west by water, 
twenty-eight by land. Passing the mouth of 
Wolf river, the longer stream of the two, we 
reached and stopped at Omira—a straggling 
village of a hundred houses ; called at a half 
dozen landings, each with its cluster of houses, 
the narrow stream all the way winding among 
marshes. The country on either side is pleas¬ 
ant and the soil rich. We passed a new gar¬ 
den and nursery, the owner of which last year 
sold a thousand dollars worth of trees and re¬ 
joiced in raising ten barrels of choice apples. 
Berlin was reached at six o’clock. It is a 
six-year-old town of 1,500 inhabitants, full of 
life, and anticipating a railroad from Milwau¬ 
kee in a year. It has a fine location, on high, 
rolling ground. The next morning I took 
stage south ten miles to Ripon, passing 
through a beautiful region, openings and 
prairies, a rolling surface, good rich soil and 
healthy climate. Farms and good houses 
were frequent, and wide fields of golden grain 
were just ready for the harvest. A white, 
beardless spring wheat, called Canadian Club, 
is much raised. Ripon is on a high, rolling 
ridge, with a water power and a large mill in 
the valley, and a Collegiate Institute on the 
hill—food for body and mind. It is looking, 
too, like Berlin, for the coming railroad. A 
mile distant is Ceresco, a smaller village. 
The crops are equal to those further south 
this season, in the circuit of over a hundred 
miles I have passed, and I like the aspect of 
the country much. The marshes along Fox 
river, I was told, are sold at about $10 per 
acre. From many of them heavy grain of a 
fair quality is cut. The wild rice is excellent 
fodder, and farmers go among it in boats, 
reaping it over the edge of the boat and piling 
it in to carry ashore. The marshes grow 
gradually drier, and are ditched in some 
places. 
Fond du Lac is supplied with excellent 
water by Artesian wells bored from sixty to a 
hundred feet deep. I forgot to mention that 
at Ripon I saw several wagons loaded with 
French Merino sheep, for sale by an agent of 
J. D. Tatterson, of Westfield, N. Y., at prices 
ranging from $100 to $300 each. 
I left Fond du Lac for this place this morn¬ 
ing at 5 o’clock by railroad, passing through 
level plains and woodland most of the way. 
We were two hours on the way, (18 miles,) 
having on freight a long train loaded with 
lumber and pine logs. We crossed Rock river 
near the village where the logs are rolled from 
the bridge into the water and rafted down to 
Janesville. Waupun is a new village grow¬ 
ing thriftily. To-morrow I go south by stage.
