CHAPTER VII.
Chicago and Galena Railroad—Pereription of
the Counties—Stephenson, Elgin, Belvidere,
Rockford and Freeport catni(ts), etc.
We have now, carefully, in the forego*
chipter dAposed of our views anal descrip
tions of the country along the Chicago and
St. Louis road. We shall now proceed
to a short descriptjOn of that country through
which the Chicago and Galena railway
pass( 11.
The Cliicago and (Miens road is said to be
the. bent paying 'mid th th'e United Stat. 4,
slot Judging from the amount of business
done upon it, and thd• densely inhabited
country it passes throtigh, we would' feel
convinced that it does an extrsoidinary bu-
:Armes.
The road is a pretty good .one, but we
have rode upon bettor ; at sonic places it is
vary uneven and rough, aiel-at others
it is very Mee and level. The cars are well
nothing
of speed is twenty-five miles per hour The
rend is as erooloA.l its the Mississippi river,
wlelst the int. 416011, e prcsutne, the stock
liol,l( r !rid, tt as to accommodate every man
living iii the North Wlit, by running the
track close by his dour The distance front
Chicago to Freeport, which is now the ter-
Lihu.s Life-the road, is one hundred and
twenty-one miles, and the fare is three dol
lars and sixty cents.'
The Illinois Central company purchased
the right of way from the Chicago and Ga
lena stockholders, consequently the latter
company only ruff their cars to Freeport,
whtie the former take them to Galena and
the State line. Passengers who have no
through tickets to lowa will have to pur
chase a ticket at Freeport for their desti
nation.
The Galena Cars loft their depot every mix
hours. There is not much to be seen from
the time you leave the city until you arrive
at the junction of the Rock Island or Bur
lington and Quincy road. The land Interve.
mug between those two pieties is marshy,
thodgh high and rolling lands are visible in
the ilistaifce. Junction is in Dubuque county.
Kane and Brown counties are two of the
oldest settled counties along the route. The
land lays high and rolling, with plenty of
timber, good running water, and pretty good
soil. The principal town in the former
county is, Elgin; which is handsomely
on a high table land, whose' base is wa
tered by the limpid waves of Fax river.
There am many handsome buildings in El
gin, it presents quite a city-like appearance.
Extensive beds of yellow building stone are
.found within its vicinity, and the quarry
ing
of stone has become quite s business.
Belvidere, is the county seat of Boone
county . .. It is tastefully laid out ; Pulaski
river forms the casternboundary of the town,
and empties its waters into Rock river a few
miles south west of the town.
The populatithr of Elgin is about four
thousand, and tha t t of Belvidere about two
thousand. Winnebago Bounty Is a very
hilly and uneven-county, well timbered and
watered. Rockford, the county seat, is a
flourishing city, beautifidly laid out. There.
aro several beautiful buildings, churches and
hotels in the place. Rocleriver ruts tO tho
cast side of it. It hash population of about
five thousand.
StephensOn county, which lays west of
Winnebago, is one of the healthiest, tiretti
est and best timbered counties in the State,
The water is pure and good, the land rich ,
and fertile, and the prairies high and rolling.
It was never our good fortune in 'tdl . our
journey South or West, to get into a country
Iso suitable to all mu tastes as this is. Al.

in thbrobapter to ere- a Mr of ettle - tetetrtiei
a passing notice.
It is true that there is Mom timber in
Wiscon'sin thin in any otlieitOt the,„Weatern
States. Belt Wig also true, that the land is
not vicar so good or the soil so deb. The
climate, also, is to a great extent cold r, and
it is the next thing to in impossitolity to
raise fruit of any kind m corm portions of
the4;titve r ay-tha Lae aftriug.; and midden
ulitelzs of the yes ,., nip the buds of the
fruit trees before iTtey are proper ye ie tern
by the beeves There iv, probably, no
healthier State in the Union than Wisconsin,
and but few States that excel it for railroad
enterpri,e and all other kinds of public
provementd, It ring its youthfulness, its
fewness of inhabitants and its thinly settled
lands, we must confess that for its ads an
taigas and facilities; it outrivaLs many of our
Eastern States, and in point of publfc en
terprise, must, at vow: future day, siand'ae
one of the chief of Western Slates.
The principal cities of INrkeonsin are Mil
waukie, Racine, Kynoiha and Ocankee on
Lake Michigan, Madison, the capitol of the
State, is situated in Dane county on a bfiau
tiful elevatian between the four Lakei.
Kenosha, Wa!worth, Green, Lafayette and
Grant are the chLpicu counties. The land is
trill I'll g, with gondloil,g;idifirtitter'and illt3nty
of timber. Thria is raised ill these coun
ties n better quality of wheat than is pro
duced in Illinois, and Wisconsin will
always billy; from to I ight cents more on
the hubliel than Illthoi; wheat. The above
counties border on the Illinois State line,
and the farther north - you go in this State
the heavier add morn extensive the bodies of
timber become,
There is now Ming from Racine on
Lake Michigan, to Savannah on the Missis
sippi river,"a railroid, which is an air-lino
running south w. st, and which will give
great inducements for persons to settle in
the counties through which it passes. They
aro Racine, Walworth and Rock, in Wis
consin, and Stephenson and Carroll in Illi
nois. It is the intention of the stockhold
ers to make ono continuous, route of it,
through to Fort Des Moines, lowa. If they
fulfil their designs, and we have no doubts
to the contrary, the toad will pass through
some of the prettiest and largest populated
counties of lowa, namely.; Clinton, Cedar,
Johnston, lowa, Powesheek, Jasper and
Polk. Bbould ''oh Des Moines be the, place
settled upon for the Capital of lowa, it will
be the means of making this road **cry
valuable one to the stockhobjers. Any
quantity of land can be purchased at the
Land gilices yet, in Wisconsin, and second.
handed for four to ten dollars per acre. Bat
these counties that border on Illinois ar ,
nearly all taken up, and could not be bought
for less than twenty dollars per aoro.
We stated in our seventh chapter that the
galena and Chicago cars ran no farther than
Freeport, and 'consequently, passengers for
lowa . are (impelled to wait at that place un.
til the' Illinois -Central' trains arrive. The
distance from Freeport to Galena is 55 mII&

" Why, mother's sickness had reduced my
brother's finances down to the lowest ebb--
so low that we had not even enough to pay
our quarter's rent, and the quarter bills.

when a runaway horse daybed by the

mad animal, leaving the hundred dollar bill,
as he declared, and the half written letter, on
the desk.

"D his return, the money was nowhere
to be found. Richard had not seen it.—
Search wits instituted, but it could not be
found. It happened that onr landlord, who
is a brother-in-law of Mr. Denley, wished
to.ohauge a hundred dollar bill, and casu

from Richard in payment of his rent, which
had been delayed several dais.
