G. = TnE kANzAs OUTR>GE.-Witlin a few
days there has been published an important
document concerning the recent ouirngcs
upon citizens of Kauzas 1t is a memorial
prepared by the people Of that territory, set
ting forth the manner in which their territory
has been invaded by force from Missouri,
that the real voters were driven 10y armed
men from the polls, and mere mockcry Of
an election, carried on by men who had no
right there. 1t is stated in this memorial
that - the leader and captain of one OF these
bands was distinguished citizen of Missouri
and late The presiding officer ct N. S,na'e Of
hc Unued Notes," and that he "hal a
bowie-knife and revolver bolted around him
apparently ready to shed the blood Of any
man who refused to Dc cnsla, cd, 90
This, ofcuuiso, rcfora to Atchison late Pres-
ident of the [. ). Senate, and the original
author Of the Nebraska Nillainy, and who is
now, it seems, ready to resort TO any species
Of outrage to enable him to establish slavery
within the territory The memorial proceeds
to appeal to Congress for redress 1t Is,
however, evident that an appeal should first
be made to the Executive Of the United States
for the rshtiul remedy.

The Sicgc of ScbnhtopOl.

The war critic Of the New York Tri bune,
whose opinion on the subject is valuable,
declares from consideration of the recent
intelligence that the Allies have gained no
important advantage by the thirteen days
bonlbardmcnt Of Scbastopol, and predicts
that the seigc u,H soon be raised. lie csti-
mates the number Of projectiles thrown into
the place and its dciences, during the thr-
teen days, at over COO, 900, weighing with
their charges some 1850 tons, mass Of
iron thrown unprecedented in all previous
history.
There are other respects in which this
famous scige is without precedent 1t is the
first in which railroad and telegraph line
have been part Of the siege machinery. The
railroad from Balaklava to the Camp, la,
been Of great service in bringing up the
stores and the enormous mass Of ammunition
used apparently to so little purpose. A sub
marine telegraph cable has recently been laiC
from Cape Kalerga, in Turkey, 300 miles
across the bottom Of the Black sea to thu
English Camp in the Crimca, and Lore
Raglan is now in hourly communication with
the War office in London. That telegraph
line will not soon announce the fall of Sebas-
topol, we fear.

e EXCITEMENT IN NoRTHFIELD.-North-
field was excited on the 10th about, if not
with, liquor According to hearsay accounts,
some one was on trial for violation Of the
liquor law. An imposing array Of lawyers
were present on each side and something less
than half the Inhabitants Of the place
were summoned as witnesses What was
the exact order of the operations we are not
informed, but the feeling ran high Two
jures were imranneled, one by the constable,
and another by special officer deputized by
the Justice, neither Of whom would back out.
and consequently both juries sat upon the
case. A Montpelier lawyer, j \. Vail,
engaged for the liquor, brought several bot
ties of it into court, drank himself, offered
to treat Justice and Jures, got uproarous,
and was arrested for drunkenness and taken
to Montpelier The matter was materially
complicated by the arrest for unlawful Furnish
ing Of liquor, of the Justice himself, who
acknowledged the corn, The trial finally
broke up in general muss and dispersion of
the parties.

Where Mosquitoes come from.

"A writer on entomology, discussing about
these summer pests, thus handles the subject :
Tbs mosquito proceeds from the sni~aicuie
commonly termed the wias,s-tail.' took
bowl Of clean water and set it in the sun. In
few days some half-cozen wiggle-tails were
visible. Trese continued to increase in size
till they were about 3-l6ths of an inch in
length. As they approached maturity they
remained longer at the surface, seeming to
| live in the two mediums-air and water; f.
nally, they assumed the form of minute cat
erpillar. And thus its specific gravity being
counteracied, or lightened, it readily foated to
the surface, and the slightest breath of air
waited it against the side of the bowl. In a
very brief space of time afterwards, the warm
atmosphere Matched out the fly, and it escaped,
leaving its tiny house upon the water. How
beautiful, yet how simple!
After the water had gone through this
process, | found it perfectly free from animal
cul@.. | therefore came to the conclusion that
this wiggle-tail is species Of the shark, who,
having devoured whole tribes of animalcule,
takes 10 himself wings and escapes into diff
ferent medium to torture mankind, and deposit
eggs upon the water to produce other mosqui-
toes.
Any man who has kept house, with a cis-
tern in the yard, has doubtless observed the
same effect every summer. Open your cistern
cover any morning in the mosquito season, and
millions of them will fly up ~ your face
Close the windows of your room at night, at
the risk Of being smoothered for want Of air,
being careful, at the same time, previously to
exclude every mosquito, and go to bed with
pitcher Of that same cistern water in the room,
and enough will breed from it during the night
to give you any satisfactory amount of trouble.
In fact, standing by shallow, half-stagnant
pool, on midsummer's day, you may see the
wiggle-tais become perfectly developed mos
quitoes, and they will rise from the surface of
the water, and fly into your face and sting
you. What is necessary to know at this day
is-has there yet been discovered any positive
exterminator of that internal pest and disturb
er of nights slumbers, the mosquito!

The infant and the Rose.

BY sEBA SMITH.
I saw a blushing vcrnal rose,
In all its new-blown charms arrayed.
And in the arms Of soft rcpose.
Beneath that flower an infant laid.
gared ON each with wild delight.
For both were lovely to the sight.
1look'd again, and autumn's blast
Had stript that rose of all its charms,
And death, with whitening power had past
And clasped the babe in icy arms.
Now, where the leafess rose-bush signs,
Low in its grave that infant hes.
How Natures cruel law, I cried,
Cuts short the hour of beauty's reign.
But Natures cheering voice REPLIED
They both shall live and bloom again
The one in spring shall grace the grove,
And one shall smile in courts above.
