This village is situated by the Rivers* 4? miles from St. Louis, and about 20 miles up the Missouri, which is navigable more tban .3000 miles above this. The land about Jhyi town is the most delightful that ;be imagined. Great part of it is i kind of land of which the people in New England have no idea ; an open, level plain of the ?richest possible soil, 40 feet d*?p, perfect ly free from bushes, and covered wi?h $rass ?hi^er than my head. On these 'fields the people get 80 bushels of' com,- 30 of ? Wheat, 2000 fbs of Tobacco, and the same quantity of hops to the acre* with no ma nure anjj very little cultivation. Where they have orchards they raise the most beautiful fruit imaginable. Plumbs and hops grow wild in great abundance.'- As thousands Of acres of the finest pasture lies open, every one ke?%pt as many cows and horses, as he chooses, and. cuts any" quantity of hay for them, where he pleases, i^nd y?K'feutter ilnd cheete are higher here, that in New England. This arises from ?the.e*treme Ifiiiness of the people, and from not one in a hundred knowing how to make tlieeie. Mechanics get from 2 50 to 3 dollars a day. Land may now be had froirvj $5 to 3 <it)llars^he acre ? but as em igrants areflpwinft in by hundte<Js it will' shortly rmlfi v aliie, g aje here, near the moutfe.tift.fte Missouri, ancf the Illinois and only CpJU* from the Mississippi.
