TO THOSE INTERESTED.

But one more issue remains of the present
volume, when our new terms will GO fully into
effect There are still upon our books the names
of many of our subscribers who have not paid
any attention to the proposition we have made.
But one more week remains in which to avail
themselves of the discount we have offered on
old arrearages, to those settling before the 9th
of June We trust that every one will take
advantage OF our offer. After that time, we
shall expect the full amount Of all arrear0ges,
and shall Immediately proceed to collect achat IS
outstanding. We have now given over si1
months notice, and no reasonable complaint can
made that ample time and opportunity have
not been afforded
There appear to be some who are not GER
tain about about the safety of sending money
by the mail--but it may be done at our risk

LlGHrNING.-The Portland (Me.) advertiser
of the 18th, states that on Monday last, the
house of Capt. David Upton, of Great Che
beaque Island Me-, was struck by lightning
\ neighbor who was looking at Mr. Uptons
house at the time, perceived ball of fire,
apparently foot in diameter with trail thirty
yards long, descend upon the chimney, and
Immediately after volume of smoke began to
ascend as if the house was on fire. Fastening
to the house it was found wreck, but not on
fire. The advertiser says
The family, of six persons, were at supper,
and their escape with their lives, is miracle.
Old Mrs. Upton's right arm is cut to the bone,
above the elbow, and she is otherwise badly
bruised. Her grand daughter, Marietta
Hamilton six years old, is so bruised as to be
purple from the hips to the feet, and is in a
preearious condition. David Upton, Jr., is
badly bruised about the head and face. His
child, in his arms, was unhurt also his wife,
standing near, and old Mr.. Upton, likewise un-
hurt.

An Elephants rraternal Feeling and
Affection.
IFrom the Buffalo Democracy.l


While wagon drawn by several elephants
was passing our office yesterday forenoon, the
following story was told, which we vouch for as
true -
Last season a menagere visited the village
of Johnstown, Herkimer County When the
cavalcade left town it passed over a bridge
which the road crossed, leaving two elephants
to bring up the rear These were driven to
the bridge but with the known sagacity of the
race, they refused to cross The water of the
creek, which flows through gorge in the slate
formation, presenting at that point banks of
precipitou6 character aud thirty feet in height,
was low and by taking a course across a corn-
field. ford could be reached But the pro-
prietor of the corn-6eld refused to allow his
property to be SO used except on the payment
of an exorbtant sum, and this the agent of the
menagerie refused to submit to- Accordingly
the elephants were again driven to the bridge,
and again they refused to attempt the crossing.
They would try the structure with their great
feet, feel cautiously along the plank with their
proboscal fingers, but each time would recoil
from making the dangerous experiment.
At last however, goaded by the sharp iron
instrument of the keeper and accustomed to
obedience, they rushed on with scream half
Of agony, half Of anger. The result showed
the prudent prescence of the poor animals to
have been correct the bridge broke and went
crashing to the bottom of the gorge, carrying
with it both the monstrOuS beasts One of them
struck upon its tuSk and shoulder, breaking the
former and very badly injurng the latter the
other was, strangely enough unhurt Now was
shown the most singular and remarkable con-
duct on the part of the brute which had escap-
ed. Its comrade lay there, an extempore bed
being provided for its comfort, while no temp
tation, no stratagem was sufficient to induce
the other to leave and proceed with the main
portion of the caravan, which finally went on,
leaving the wounded beast and its companion
under the charge Of their keeper
Day after day the suffering creature lay there,
rapidly failing and unable to move At the end
OF three weeks the water in the creek commenc-
ed rising and there was danger it would over
flow and drown the disabled elephant. The
keeper desired, therefore, to get it up and make
it walk as far as a barn near by, where it would
be out of danger and could be better cared for
But it would not stir. He coaxed, wheedled
and scolded, but all to no purpose AT last
enraged, he seized pitchfork and was about
plunging it into the poor things flesh, when
the companion wrenched the fork from his
hand, broke it in fragments, and flung the pieces
from 1t then with eyes glaring and every evi-
dence OF rage in its manner. it stood over its
aelenceless and wounded friend as if daring the
AeePef 70 approach, which the man was not so
green M as TO 90 agaln with cruel purpose.

NEw-YoRK MONEY MARKEr-The financial
article of the Euening Post says that the week
closes upon listless, yet abundantly supplied
money market. The banks, brokers and monied
capitalists all have more money to employ on
temporary investments than than they know
how to use satisfactorily, and long investments
or stock investments having an uncertain future
are not to their liking
The amount of good paper offering for dis
count is exceedingly light The heats of sum.
mer must come and pass before much new mer.
camille paper is made and offered. The ten.
dency OF the market is, therefore, to lower rates
Tor loan and discounts. The closing quotations
range from to + per cent. for call loans,
IL to for good paper 60 days to six months.
and per cent for second class.

Another Shameful Outrage in NTissour;

A Free Citizen IN Kansas Kidmapppd and ,ox
rled into MsSs0nri-H1s head shared e..
blacked, and then sold at auction by O. NSn.o
In one of our issues of last week undor -
head of Pluck in Kansas" we puh6sbad ',ne nc
extract from the Platt Argus, Atchison,aa al al
gan, printed in Weston, Mo. In that art;.r. oi
it was stated that the roslayery men of oanor
worth city, X. T., had arrested LAWYER norn
ed Phillips, OF that town, and commenced nra
parations for tarring and featherng him i hnt
upon the collecting OF band of freeman da
termned to rescue him, he was set at Ebar,r
again by the lawless gang who had seized h,
person.
1t seems that the offence of Mr.. PbiIlin. :,
that he is Free-Soiler. And it is pretended
by the pro-slavery men that he handed M'Creo
the revolver with which Malcom Clark was
killed. This is probably false, as responshIo
men declare that Philli ps did not at all inter-.
fere in the matter
That outrage, it appears was but failure
of conspiracy against the rights and person
OF an American citizen. The sequel has Of
length transpired, and we invite the close at-
tention of every citizen of the United States
to an examination of the principles OUTRAGED
and the rights trampled on the proceeding.
On the 18th of May, (Thursdav.) Nh, Phil
lips was decoyed to the bank of the Missouri
river, where he was suddenly seized and forced
into a skif and carried across the river, into
Missouri thence he was taken seven miles 70
Weston. An old warehouse stands just below
the town he was taken there, his head was
shaved, his face BACKED, he was tarred and
feathered, and then ridden upon rail through
the streets of Weston, while music horrible and
hideous accompanied the procession. Before
the hotel they exhibited him ; and then ne
gro was compelled to sell him to the lowest
bidder, and they offered to him every insult in
their power. After OBTAINING him several hours.
in this manner, repeatedly telling him that if
he would not leave the territory or give them
his promise in writing that he would leave.
they would hang him. He having firmly and
steadily refused, they let him loose. His bro
ther, who had come from Leayenworth after
him, took him into carriage and late in the
afternoon started for Leavenworth.
These are the facts briefly related as they
come to us, and they can be most implicitly re-
lied upon.
