Land Spkoulation -in 1836. The
rapid change-iu the -vuktu of land?
'and the growth of the 'country is il
lustrated by an occurrence which bus
been the occasion ol a groat luw suit
at the Great. West. In 1835, Ilenry
Seymour, father of ox Governor Sey
mour, of New Yor-k , advanced $5,000
'to ono Jeremiah Price, with which ho
'was to buy lands in Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio, aud the then Territories of
Michigan and Wisconsin. Tbo lands
purchased were to bo sold in five years
ifrom the end of May, 1835, und out of
the, profits ot the i.uraiiune and sale,
after charging to the investment the
taxes and otuer charges, if any, to
gether with sevon per cent, interest
on the investment, there was to be
paid to Price one-half of the eamo,
whioh one-half the profits were to bo
in full of his services and expenses ot
overy kind, in making the rxplora
tions and Bean-.bes for the lauds, etc.
It was understood by the agreement
that the purchases were to be -made
during the year 1835, and that no
payment for services or expenses were
to bo made by Seymour except from
the profits, from the sale of -lands. It
was however too ourly for such rapid
fortunes as we have mien in l he wo lnt
ter dayB, arid io . J840 prices of real
estate would not wtVrrunt the salo ex
cept at u loss. Frioe however, con
tinued to pay the tuxes and act as
agent until his death in 18547"At his
death tho administrator , obtaitied a
powef of attorney, sold sixty or sev.
enty thousand dollars worth of tbo
land, und commenceHuit against the
-hoirs ot Ilenry Seymour, deceased,
-according to the terms of tbo con
tract. The result was a transfer of
nearly two hundred thousand dollars
from the heira of Seymour to thoso of
Price.
A Richmond paper Bays :" Wero

supply the whole people ot toe South
with ploughs, seed, horses, mules,

In nearly one.half of this city inlox .

there are in the same limits but two
