Dear Sin. I have notiecd in your pa

comparative increase of wealth in the agri
cnltural country over the minoral country,
since, has been in the proportion of ten to
one. In other words, property in the ag
ricultural countica has increased in value
at least 1200 per cent, whil-j in the mia- pointed trustee of Ilebccca Kcnagy of said
I am writing, there are several quarter
sections, that can be bought on such terma
as to realize a profit of f SCO in cue year.

Mr. Slifcr presented a petition from Da

As an agricultural county, no one iu
theStato equals "Old Fulton." There
are more acres of land in this county sus
ceptible of successful cultivation, than in
any other county in the State, and there
are more acrts under cultivation, and still
room for thousands of people. In poiut
of population and wealth, Fulton stands
the third county in the State, and, but
for the city of Chicago, in Cook county,
and Quiucy, in Adams, it would now be
county, a lunatic ; also, one from citiiena
of Sc-liu;grove, for a law authorizing the
opening of drains ; also, one from Union
township, for a change in the place of hold
ing elections in said township ; also, a re
monstrance from citizens of West Buffalo
township, against changing the place of
holding elections in said township; also, a
remonstrance against the erection of a boom
