We doubt not it will deserve the patronage

will receive il, or fail, for want of patronage,
as all other agricultural papers in tlis state
have bcretCtoiore done, is aquestion yet to be
decided. There is such an unnatural and
unaccountable propensity in many people to

KANzAs.-The election in Kanzas will take
place on Friday, the Both of this month
Governor Reeder has just issued his procla-
nation. The most important points are as
follows -
IA voter must dwell here ct the time of Of
fering his vote. He must then have COM
menced an actual inhabitaney, which he &C.
tually intends to continue permanently; and
he must have made the Territory his dwelling,
to the exclusion of every other home In
case any election is contested, the parties ag-
grieved must bring the matter before the Gov
ernor, who shall determine the case between
the parties contesting."
The Missourians are dissatisfied with the
proclamation. saying that by it the Governor
makes himself Legislator, Judge, and Exec
utor
The notorious frauds practised at the last
Delegate election, by the pro- Slavery men
from the border counties of Missouri, have
aroused the friends of freedom in Kanzas. and
strong effort will be made to elect Ieeisla.
ture in favor Of making Kanzas free State.
The census shows that the population of Kan.
zas is not 80 great as the vote represented to
have been received by Gen. Whitfield, for
Delegate to Congress. Our Kanzas cores.
pondent represents that the Missourians are
pouring into Kanzas again, preparatory to the
next election, but with no view of remaining
in the Territory. The tools of the Missouri
Slave Oligarchy will find the next Congress
composed Of altogether different materials
from the last Congress. Gov. Reeder is also
determined in protecting the bona tlde citizens

STRANGE FAers.-The following extract from
letter of the Southern correspondent of the
New York Tribune, presents facts and consider
atoms which ought to be familiar to every person
in this community -
"The North is the field for the opponents
of Slavery. They can do more good there
than here. Until your press, your churches,
and your politicians, evince more stamina, and
so long as Slavery is so directly profitable to
breeders and owners, it will never be abol
ished. On my way here from New York,
have passed more than one thousand negroes,
in gangs of from twenty to eighty, under the
charge Of white human beings, called traders,
the most revolving specimens of men, in NOR
ais, appearance, and conversation, that ever
saw. They are looked upon by respectable
men here with loathing, and until they get
rich, Qor it It is very lucratve) and retire
from the business, they have no social posi-
ton whatever. Mobile and New Orleans are
the principal depots for these droves Of stock,
and the business for the past year has been
poor, to judge from the representations of the
dealers. The sickness here, last summer, took
off sadly from the profits Of the trade. All
honor to New York for Stewards reelection.

persons believed to be the greatest mathemati-
clan of any age, died at Gottingen, on the 23d
of February. He was born at Brunswick, in
HI, where he received the rudments of an
education subsequently finished at the Univer-
sity at Gottingen. He filled the chair of Pro.
lessor of Astronomy and Mathematics in the

profound student in terrestrial magnetism,

The following is the history of Jacob Cram
worth half million:
Formely distiller of the pure and unadul
terated spirits. One of the daughters marie,
the celebrated James Watson Webb, an,
another, John h. Mason, quOndam of tn
Park Theater. He has now abandoned tn.
potentiality of liquid which has made hin
rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
Benjamin H. Field is disposed of thus:
In the drug business. Married the siste
of Fred. De Peyster. Is called Jolly goo,
fellow" is generous and charitable, and de
serves his fortune. He belongs to the St Nieho
las Society, where, in the capacity of one
its stewards he aids the entertainments by hi
genial flow Of soul. He is yet young an,
good looking, and wakes quite poetic at fes
tivities.
The biography of John c. Green, worth six
hundred thousand dollars, is one of our au-
thor's happiest efforts.
Formerly clerk with George Griswold,
then married his daughter, and rose to be a
partner.
Mr.. I. N. Hubbard is hit off in the manner
following:
In the pro vision trade. The father ofseve-
raj pretty daughters. Has a vast deal of mus
ic in his soul, and cannot miss the opera
takes rational view OF life, and is, as Horace
says, "porcue gregg Epicuri." He is not
one Of Goldsmith's class.

The phrase "Codish Aristocracy' was not
suggested by this gentleman.
Leary, worth hundred thousand, is fitted
thus
The celebrated halter in Broadway. He
knows what hard work is, and also what it is
TO be successful in business.
Jacob Little, worth half million, is treated
to the following:
One of the rich .'Jacobs" of Wall Street
Famous for big strikes and lucky hits-seldom
loses, because the small ones follow on his
wake and unintentionally aid and sustain him.
Jacob has some brains as well as money, peo-
pie say that his wife is pretty. She has fond
ness for opera, and in a union of hearts there
is a union of tastes; therefore Jacob is fond
of music, and not the chink alone of the
''6righ.-patines." He il bear or bull, or both
at the same time. His ways are past finding
out, and although waxing gray, is still up to
his slime engagements.
Respecting Mr.. Nunns, of pianoforte cele-
brity, worth half million, we are told:
He seems to have laid ii down as an invar-
laole RUE III tIade never 10 get IN ueot, and
hence, notwithstanding all the changes in the
commercial world, and the viciss;tudes of in
hation and collapse in currency and credit, he
has rarely felt any inconvenience. In only
one instance we find him at loss for capital.
During the year 1887, when many of his deb
tors failed, he borrowed fifty thousand dollars
ofJohn Jacob Astor, on property in the Third
Avenue sum which probably the willy
Dutchman wished he might not be able to
pay. Pay, however, he did.
But enough of this. One day we shall have
