St. Paul, July23. Editok Ap.gus: AY'ith your permis sion I will note some of the things I have seen on my journey to the northvvest. Ih the tWO days speht in Ohirapco. principally among dealers in farming tools, I observed a rernarkable and successf ui season for the sale of these arti clfs. In all the utrnmiltural tooi denota Btipply a township, evidence of the gïeat cropa of grain to be harvested. Qreat iinprovemenls have taken place in Mihvaukee Hiuce my visitof oneyear ago, and its future looks encouraging. Li-aviiig theclty en route to St, Paul, ruling throtigh the farming districts of Wisconsin.observingthemanypleasure resbrta here and there, I coukl nol i'ail to notice Rome of thé most beaiitiiul lands extant, with thousands of acres of uncut spring wheat and bfoad eorn Belds. Fafmets assert the erop of '80 will slirpass those of '78 and '79 in (inantitv and qtiality. Kailrnuds Will be taxed to their entire capacity to freiiíht these immense producís to the sea-board. They seem to be willing to sel] ïeadily argumg from the great abundance of yield that pnces ffiüst rule low. St. Paul, at the head of navigatitfil on the ilississippi, is beautifully located, eontaining liveiy business men, characteristic'of Chicago, all of whomtnove iilioii the eárly worm principie. The ontlook is brightfor thiscity, especially if its people secure the terminus of the northern Paciflc, whioh with all the general offices located befe can hot help to enlarge its growth materially, It does one good to see how business is conducted. I counted on one train standing at the depot ten car loads of wagons, five of reapers, two of plows. Ware houses abi5orb a whole block in wliich to transact business. Plows arrive in whole trains, which are loaded with grain to return. Yours Traly,
