A Progperous Town on the Banks ot the Nodaway in Northern Missouri, The Thriving Villages on the Way. Oortespondence of Tun L. BurLineroN Juxcrion, Mo., March 2,~ From Clarinda we fellow the val- ley of the Nodaway into Missouri, southward, passing a half dozen sta- tions, to Burlington Junction, the crossing of the Villisca branch' of the “Q " and the Wabash, a town of per- haps 1,200 inhabitants, and situated on a projecting point of the seccnd bottoms, or first table land, ten miles from the lowa state line, about twice that distance east of the Missouri river, and about 85 miles from Omaha. As we follow the river from the Iowa line, the valley widens, until at this point it secms to “have almost lost its identity, as the Genesee does below the city of Rochester, N. Y., and the great variety of grasses, the even sur- face, deep, narrow cuts, washed out by the little streams, and the styles of building, fencing, and farming of the eastern settlers who have located here, call to mind, promptly, the scenes in the farming settlements along the shores of the great lakes, and relieved us from surprise when told that this is called “The Ohio," or “The Ohio settlement.” The Chi. cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad has probably done more to en- courage and build up the towns along its line than almost any other road. Here, at the junction, the company purchased a large tract of land as soon as the road was located, and proceeded to lay out a town, and . | thrivin, have faithfully stood by it ever since, and much of the growth and mauy of its advantages are due to the liberality of the officers of that company. The Wabash branch to Clarinda starts from the main line of that road nearly a mile east of this place, where a hotel and a half dozen station build- ings form the *‘Roseberry Junction, ’ which is apt to mislead the strancer who expeots to find a village and post- office, The two roads from Clarinda run side by side most of the way and sep- arate as they near the main line, but it is understood that arrangements have been made to make the curve westward and be neighborly aund so join interests and use one depot for the three roads, a great convenience to the people of the town and the traveling public, To this end Mr, C. R. Doe, 850 many years the obliging and respected agent of the ‘‘Q,” has packed up his goods and started for Ohariton to take charge of another station, while a compromise agent fills his place. We passed Bradyville half way from Clarinda, and noticed a fine mill seemingly doing a good business, and the half dozen stores, two hotels, and clean school houses and churches, indicated a business thrift among the farmers, and an enterprise and success among the 300 burgers. Maryville, fourteen miles to the southeast, a town of 4,000, is the county seat of Nodaway county, and is the queen city of this corner of the state. To the northwest three miles, is Dawsonville, on the Wabash, a village of 100, with a large new steam eleva- tor, and ‘‘piles of corn,” while five — _ lus. With its ts on each side, it is like old Coririth built between two seaports, and noted for a wonderful fountain in the top Rof the rugged hill, while here the fountain has medi- cinal properties which the Corinthian could not boast of. Mr. Samuel Cotken, & mile south of town, has u medical spring, famed for its curative properties, and J. W. Anderson has found the same mineral water in a well near the Merchants hotel. The acientific experts and the hundreds of invalids who have come here for as sistance have thoroughly tested the healing benefits offered by mother earth. Both of these gentlemen aro fitting | accommodations muol The Widow's Might. 8t Louls News, Feb. 20th. Mrs. Mary J. Penn, a Missouri widow, from Trenton, has been as tonishing the new Pension Agent at Topeka, Kan. Her soldier husband was disabled in the “Iate unpleasant ness,” and drew a_pension until the time of his death, in 1877, since which time his relict has been draw ing 88 per month for herself and $2 per month each for her 14 children And here is_the astonishing birth rocord: Mary E., June 9, 1864; Wil liam 8., June 20, 1866; Charles N., June 8, 18 , July 6, 1807} John C., Alice’and Al par and Oliver, July 20, 1871 and George, larger and more entensive than before used, and expect to see full houses this coming season, and as there are quite a number of hotels and board- ing houses, there will be room for a multitude. The fire fiend destroyed three or four stores in the center of the towna few days ago, and as might be ex- peoted there in ‘‘some talk” of organ- izing a fire department and preparing for protection against another such calamity. With the streets in good condition and sidewalks almost every- where, the few private lamps used to light the streets, make it compare in this respect with many other young towns. The Catholic church has the only church building in town, and the Cliristian church is holdingservices at rdsent in an upper room over Ware's E.nk, where a revival has been in pro- gress for some time. There are many fine brick blocks in the business part of the city and the residences are of & neat and substan- tial kind, sume of the better class cost- ing three or four thousand dollars, while the neat fencing around the dwellings, the flowers, trees and fruits everywhere show evidences of thrift and enterprise and that the proprietors have evidently determined to stay and “grow up” with the place Burlington Junction is pre-emi- nently a ‘hotel town.” The Oity hotel, near the station, is a good place for the traveler and a home for the stranger, but the ‘‘commercial man,” whol knows' all the hotels from *‘Chicago to ’'Frisco,” is com- pletely non plussed when e sits down to _dinner at the Merchants’ hotel. The house was badly damaged by fire early in the winter, but since its reopening, & month ago, its old popularity has returned sevenfold. Certainly there are few tables in our larger cities that are set so gorgeously and offer such a bill of fare, or where your wants are attended to more promptly. A handsome park is being fitted up, joinirg the yard, and before many years the reputation of the house and the mineral spring near by will have made this place famous, 1t nothing else does. The leading societies here are‘the Masons, Odd Fellows, Workman, and a temperance society. The Methodist church, near town, on a beautiful elevation across the river, is about changing into a Meth- odist seminary, and the new M. E. church will be built on the up-land in the city. The authorities have secured ground for a large public park, and the com- ing season they intend to take the ini- tial steps toward making it a ‘‘thing of beauty.” A saw-mill two or three miles from town is furnishing lumber in limited quantities, made of the native oak, and the sight of the saw-logs on their way to the mill is a novelty to a child of the prairies. Mr. J. T. Anderson, the genial pro- prietor of the large livery stable on the main street, is a native of the state, was one of the first to invest here, and is one of the prosperous and miles further is Elmo, with its 200 liv- ing souls, a dozen stores and trading houses, elevator, lumber yard, plenty of wood, and struggling to get a new label put on to its postoffice, which at present is Ebony. The oak stumps al ng these hill sides, and the new buildingsgoing up constantly remind us of thesmaller hills about Washingtonin war times, where the timber had been cut away to clear the ground in front of the forts, or to get fire wood, leav- ing the stumps nearly covered by the young sprouts that come up about the roots. The enterprising firm of Colvin & Murphy do a large business in lum- ber and farm implements, and read Tue Beeas do many others in this young town. Mr., Colvin states that he sold nearly a dozen plows within the past week, and this indicates enterprise and an early spring so far. Several other young, or new, business houses have quite recently hung out their signs here, indicating that the place wilflnon out- grow its present clothes as it has its name. By the politeness of Mr, J. B. Chrisinger, of the Junction, who is agent for the railroad lands, sells musical instruments, is postmaster, and is a motive power in a half luzen other kinds of business, we took a ride with him five miles to the north- west to the growing city of Clearmont, atown of two hundred inhabitants and two depots, seven stores, two churches, a graded school, two hotels, blacksmith shops, meat market, liv- ery stable, lumber yard, broom factory, o beautiful masonic hlh, & brick yard atched, and a ‘‘big gun club,” lfi)uluh of shootists, who brag on “‘best twelve” and their captain their A. M. Beott. of (Jn.ifa Smith have a good stock of The enterprising firm eneral merchandise in one of the best uildings in this section and also an- other store of hardware, and oh! their bees! the whole yard was full of the hives and a beautiful circular building in the centre looked as thou*h it was a house built for the ‘‘queen” to live in, We were informed that the bees are a8 much of a success here as any- where. Here we find plenty of ‘‘worm fence,” or rail fence, and the blackest kind of black soil, and such apples, and small fruit, cattle, hogs le fine horses, and the old fashionable large barn, that looks strangely enough to us, who have been tying our horses to & wagon end called it “putting them in the barn,” because in our( childhood days we suppossd horses needed some shelter. Burlington Junction, without any church spires and its flat roofs re- sembles the accounts of old Greek cities, for the early Greeks, it is said, despised high buildings and spires, and preferred the flat rw(, and uo :figon do :vo repw& in the history of is ancient people of a yo man odging et the top of :fln, [ they did in the city founded by Romu- successful business men, doing a large business 1n handling cattle and horses and real estate, and has the finest house 1n the city. Geo. H. Hotalling & Co. are the old stand-by lumber merchants and are managing lumber yards in several other towns, Mr. H., the head of the firm, is one of the few men found in our business circles who does a great deal of successful work without talk- ing fo his ueighbors about it, and is respected everywhere as one of the prudent, cultivated gentlemen whose word 18 a8 good as an endorsed bank note. Mr. James Jones, the gentleman- ly manager of the other lum- ber yard, is just opening a full stock, and has the contidence of the people, and it is expected that these two firms will have plenty of business the coming season. The Post is edited by Bryant & Charles, two cloar-headed, energetic young men of cultivation and ability, and their spicy, wide-awake paper is a credit to the town and an honor to themselves, as well as apaying invest- ment, A There are a half dozen stores of dry goods and general merchandise, as many physicians, half as many grocery stores, and the banks, hotels, grain firm, livery stables, lumber yaids, clothing stores, drug stores, hardware stores, furniture stores, mineral springs, editors, churches and rail road stations, are in duplicates, or wwo of a kind, while the lawyers, real estate and insurance offices, organ and sewing machine agente, millinery lho[il, jewelry store, barber shops, stock dealers, hide, wool and fur deal- ers, restaurants, blacksmith and wagon shops,feedstore,and photographers, are sandwiched along in theéir appropriate number and places, and the boarding houses not counted, We fiud here the best of water with- in thirty feet, coal and himestone con- veniently near, plenty of timber for fuel at low figures, & thy and de- lightful climate, s soil as rich as the valley of the Nile and capable of bear- ing all the fruits and grains usually cultivated in this climate, including winter wheat, timothy and clover, flax, broom corn and tobacco, and the variety of grasses, including the blue grass and white clover, which furnish pasturage ahnost from June to June, and corn to -uprly all Egypt (not one- third of a crop last year), and timber in great variety along the streams all over this historical region known as the ‘‘Platte Purchase” of northweat- ern Missouri, whose hills and valleys are endowed with a black alluvial soil from two to twenty feet deep and as rich and free as an old garden, Burlington Junction wants some manufactories and some one will yet set up & good steam mill in the town and take the one or two thousand dol- lars offered by the citisens to help start the enterprise, Buoxsrs, Aug 6, 1872; Jesme, Nov. 16, 1875; Lathie, Jan. 7, 1877; Ernest, March 0,1878. Here the record ends. The husband died in Nov., 1877, and his last ehild was born the March follow- ing, making in all 14 children in 14 years Mra. Penn married a second time a yoar ago and moved to Kansas, and her pension stopped, but the 14 children are entitled to $2 per month until they are 16 years of age. Nevexr Too Late to Mend . Thos. J.

A Port Jervia (N. Y.) dispatch says: A very important and extensive land sale has been concluded between Sid- ney Dilion, President of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and Henry R. Low, a prominent capatalist of Middletown, Orange county, N. Y. The latter has purchased from Mr. Dillon all of the Central Branch lands in the state of Kansas, amounting to about 55,000 acres.
