methods which he would recommend. by
which this and other tracts Of land may be set
Ted to great advantage, are as iolows-First,
let such o. our people as can raise from 500

Of our Banks or Companies and the pleasure s
and reward Of doing solid good, TO the OPP
pressed and needy, would repay an hundred !
fold. :
There are several individuals in this city S
who have from time 10 time, duEeTtlSeu from -
ifty to a hundred thousand acres Of land for

gentlemen advance small sums and encour- n
