LIED ABOUT KANsAs-If Kansas Territory should
hereafter prove to be half as prolific in corn, wheat
hemp and tobacco, she has been in misrepresenta.
tons and falsehoods, she will be one of the richest
States in the Union. legion of lying scribhlers
seem to have quartered themselves there and
through divers papers east of u.s. chief among them
being, of course, the New York Tribune, have got
wide access to the public ear, which they have
abused as 'd-bly' Old Falstatf confessed he had
mlsused the Kings press Jack acknowledged the
corn. He admitted that no eye ever saw scurvier
set of gallows faced knaves than he had mustered
into service. They were he said, battered prod-
gals , the cankers of calm world and a long
peace; slaves ragged as Lazarus in the PARTED
CLOTH where the gluttons dogs licked his sores ,
dead bodies unloaded from gbbets' The character
for truth and decency of the stories set aoat by these
scnbblers is about level with that of FaIstaffs
ragged regiment. Their lies about the inhabitants
OF Missouri show them TO be devoid equally of con-
science and honor Some of them are, we suppose,
IN the money pay OF abolition societies. Others of
them seem to be reckless fools or knaves who either
do not care what may be the consequence of the exc
cradle ISLANDERS they have been utterng or are insen-
Slble to these consequences. Others, again, seem
anxious to bring about civil war, and appear to la
Dor for that very purpose.
We still adhere to the opinion expressed by us at
the outset, that had Kansas been left to settle ITSELF
as Nebraska has deem, there would have been less
probability OF Kansas becoming slave territory than
there appears 10 be The aboIitionsts, with
their usual folly, have overdone their work and if
Kansas shall turn out slave State, will have 10
thank themselves, quite much as any other

pa~The people along Lake Michigan, from
Allegan north to Manistee, have been thrown
into a state of the most intense excitement by
the operations of a gang of marauders, who
are reported to be Mormonsfr from Beaver Island,
and who have carried on their operations with
a boldness, GOODNESS, and desperation rarely
equaled in the records of highwaymen.-They
are reported to have burned sawmills and rob-
bed stores north of the Grand River. AT
Grand Haven they made repeated attempts to
break into stores and shops. They made their
appearance at the mouth of the Kalamazoo, and
after looking about some, pushed up south as
far as the tanneries in the o of Ganges, and
broke open ROBINSON & PLUMBERS store, rob-
bed them of 81 900 worth of goods and made
back again Town the lake. Off Port Sheldon
they were seen by a vessels crew anchored there,
with their plumber all open to view, and were
pulling on down as careless and fearless as
though they were pursuing a legitimate calling.
There is said to be upwards of twenty in the
gang. They sail one small schooner of twenty
or thirty tons, and two Mackinaw boats. IT

S,rc1pE BY A BoY.-The Menasha wis
Advocate, of the 18th inst, gives the following
account of the commission of suicide by a boy
only IL or Is years of age, who appears to hare
been a victim to brutality:
Young Kelsey imagined himself to be
whipped and abused too mach by the village
bors, and on Monday evening he told his mo,
Their he would stand it no longer-that he would
bang himself. No attention was paid to the
threat, and on Thursday morning he was whip
ned by his mother for some trivial offence, after
which she sent him to the woods to procure
some good switches, to be hereafter used on him
for bad behaviour. He was accompanied by a
Younger brother. After going into the woods
a short distance. he sent the brother back home
for a rope, in order, as he said, to bring a large
bundle. On his brothers return, young Kelsey
was stiff in death. IL the absence of his broth
er, he placed some blocks on the ground, placed
one of his snspenders round his neck, and tied
one end to the limb of a tree, kicked the blocks
away, and hung in that position until dead. This
is, indeed. a sad afair-for one so young to take
his life by his own hands Those who have seen
the corpse say that even in death his counter
ance exhibits the picture of determination and
courage.

INSTITUTES.
TO the 4Sehoci Directors and School Teachers of
Tounyu a t&E

To the ySchocl Directors and School 1eaohers of
Bradford County:
TIME recent Convention of School Directors of this Coun
H. ty, adopted a resolution requesting the County SUI
perintendent to hold, or cause to be held, Teachers Insti
tutes in the different townships of the county. IN COM
pliance with this resolution, I now give notice, that the
necessary arrangements are i'm progress for holding q Sc
ries of these Teachers Schools. 1t is not deemed advisa-
BILE to hold one in leach township this fall. In many cases,
not enough would attend to give them interest and utility.
| have accordingly, selected such points for holding the
first series, as has appeared to me most suitable for the
different divisions of the county. The places named are
only suggestive. If the School Directors of either Of these
divisions prefer another, | win cheerfuliy acquiesce in a
change. The lis. is given at the foot of this notice. a27,
These Institutes are intended for Teachers only and
their leading object Is to improve teachers in the Art Of
Teaching. 1t is expected that the Teachers and Directors
living near the place of holding these Schools, will get
the School House which is to be used, in order, keep it
so, have fuel supplied and make provision for boarding
the Instructor. t.H SO
The incidental expenses of these Institutes, such as the
board of the Preceptor, fuel, ~light-for the evenings must
be occupied with Lectures-&c, the Teachers must bear.
The amount to each, will, of course, depend on the num-
Der attending. -Four dollars, will probably, be the out
side expenses of one of these Institutes. This to be equal
ly, borne among the Teachers, be their number twenty or
forty. b - Isl a.iJ -L.tsf sffI4Ft Z
Timely notice will be given in the papers, of the COM
menceInent of each of these Institutes, accompanied by q
programme OF the exercises. The first will be held in To-
wanda, early in October, and will be under the direction
OF Professor {. II. COBURN. lu the management of the
others, the Superintendent will have the assistance ofable
teachers. s-E . -r. "A.
Teachers wishing to attend these Institutes, must report
themselves to the Secretaries of the School Board of the
township where held, before the 25th day of September
This officers name and address is given in the list below.
1 have to request these officers, to report to me the num-
Der a. soon as practicable after the 25th.

tefprise all the encouragement and aid they can. These
Institutes can be made useful. ~ - ~. .r b.,
