BATH Schools all repaired 10 Groves near the
city, and spent the day, so far as ! know,
very pleasantly and happily. The one with
which am connected, the Baptist, under
the care Of Father Winter, had fine Pic
Mic across in the beautiful Grove in Ohio,
opposite Centre Wheeling. Pic Mics are
done upin fine style and very plenifnlly in
Wheeling, and the Fonrth " is made q day

A connection will be formed between
the East Indies and China with this

that have made the travel from the

Settlement Of Kansas and Nebraska.
"A correspondent Of New York paper,
writing from Kansas, says that emigran's
are now pouring into that territory from
Missouri and Arkansas BY thousands, and
that at the lbs, advices from the border
three thousand claims for preemption had
already been s,aked off by them. They
have organized and resolved to protect
each others claims until the lands are sur.

that the emigration to Nebraska, which is
not as numerous as this, Is exclusively
composed of Northerners.
