Semi-Weelkly Mail.

We are requested to state that sub
seription paper will be circulated this
saturday afternoon for the purpose of
raising 500 to secure a semi-weekly
mail to this place, for the year commenc-
ing Monday next. The present compen-
sation for carrying the mail. it being the
net proceeds of the post-ofice here, and
not to exceed $500, is obviously entirely
inadequate to run the present service,
were it not connected with another carry
ing business. The proposed change will
require an additional team and man on
the route but we are informed that the
carrier has already perfected his arrange
ments whereby the proposed increased
service can be Immediately entered upon,
IT the small amount named can be raised.
1t is small amount to our citizens in
view of the benefits to be realized: and
We are confident it viii be cheerfully and
promptly subscribed.

Meeting ON Dread Mount.

We neglected to notice. as we purpos-
ed to do last week, tie meeting on the
Sabbath evening previous on Dread
Mount, and the discourse by Rev. Mr..
MUTE. There was a large attendance,
and the discourse was particularly appro-
PIRATE and interesting. Another appoint
ment was made for last Sabbath evening,
but the unpleasant state of the weather
prevented a general attendance. He pur-
poses giving discourse on Sabbath next
e,ening-at six o'clock,
subject eff it be possible, as faras it lieth
in you, live peaceably with all men,
! Mr. MUTE comes among Us as a Mis-
sionary from the American Unitarian As,
ISOLATION. He is a gentleman of classi-
cal education, a very pleasant speaker,
and withal, we believe very worthy
man. For the want of a smaller edifce,
he chooses at present to worship in the
sun-lit dome which nature has erected
with so much beauty and gorgeousness
here In Kansas. -

May It and II. 1855, among its other
doings was the adoption of the following
resolution on the subject of the Kansas
iniquity and the Fugitive Slave Law:
Rcsoiued, That this Consolation hav-
ing as patriotic and Christian duty re-
monstrated with Congress against the
perfdious repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, now deplore the consequences
of that unrighteous Legislation in the
acts of brutality and lawlessness that
have been lately perpetrated in the Ter
ritory of Kansas and in the view of
shis Consolation, it is the duty Of every
Christian citizen to do all in his power
by his voice and his yo:e to restore the
statute of prohibition to slavery in new
Territories. and TO repeal the Fugitive
Slave Law.

The pro-slavery candidates were again

certainly majority in the district, and

the foreign vote that can be poured in.
But politics does not engross all our
care. We are busily engaged in break
ing prairie and opening our farms, and
even from this other events occasionally
claim our attention. Among the latest
and most mournfal of these was the death
of Mr. Eli Wilson Riddle of Yenango
County, Pa. which occurred on Monday,
the 28th of May, at The house of Mfr. /.
