Last Tuesday afternoon we took a jaunt over to Amity, which we found to be a beautiful little town, indeed; situated upon a piece of high prairie, so conspicuously as to be seen at a great distance. The buildings are principally a story and a half high, and tastily as well as conveniently constructed. For an inland town this presents rather a lively appearance, and is fast filling up with mechanics, so that they are coming into possession of all the conveniences really essentail to their comfort. Messrs. Babcock & Storrs have one of the finest Saw Mills in the West, which furnishes an abundance of lumber for building and fencing purposes for the town and neighborhood. There are two Dry Goods Stores to Amity; one Boot & Shoe Store, a branch of a large Boston establishment, which is said to sell ware quite as cheap, if not cheaper than can be purchased at St. Joe. They have one Furniture Shop; one Plow Shop; and one Blacksmith Shop, besides other institutions of usefulness. One of the most, if not the most attractive feature of this town, is its institute of learning, of which we expect to publish a full account next week. Mr Laughlin is starting a Nursery about a mile north-west of town, at which may be found all kinds of shrubbery, evergreens, roses, fruit and shade trees, &c. We had not time to visit this establishment, but think we shall soon.

Through the country we noticed the most encouraging prospects for crops, and if no blight visits our farmers they can safely calculate upon a good return for their labors.
