Button* settle? en the edge of Franklin Cbunty, in Nebraska, bordering en Kearney on his homestead, with his two sens, he had two spans of horses, bat only eleven dollars in money. At the beginning of tH be had 100 acres of land under oritfvation ? an orchard oontaing 000 cherry trees,and a vineyard of 000 grape vines.Mr. Bndlong te now abottt to plant 200 apple trees, 000 peach trees, and 600 additional grape vines.The homekaul te in Soothers Nebraska, and on the level prairie; and no man who has the spirit Mr. Bndlong need feer to settle where there are no trees to shade hU rasf-tree from the son. If lie plants as Mr Bndlong Iras done, in five vests his orchard will be coming into bearing ; and, if he has made a windbreak ef cottonwood, he wilf have ample fuel for his sieves.Certainly, eleven dollars in cash is not adequate for the needs of the ordinary settler, though there are numerous instances in Nebraska of men starting in this way upon nothing, as it were, in a few years working themselves inte positions of comfort.— Such men are brave and enterprising; but a capital of $500, at least, te a good thing upon which to start. The larger the capital-given skill, enterprise, courage and industry, without which money is of little moment—and thequieker and the greater the gain. There is abundant room end ample mope in Nebraska for men like Mr. Bad-long.
