October.

In our last number we neglected to
speak of the weather for October, as has
been our practice for preceding months.
The distant reader will desire to be post
ed, which we do by stating that from
the LIST of the month to the 18th or Goth
the weather was generally pleasant and
beautiful, the thermometer indicating a
mild temperature during the day, but
usually cold nights, though not to the
freezing point in more than two or three
instances. From the Goth to the 25th
or 26'h high winds from the north
and north were constant, and the atmos-
phere exceedingly cold, the thermometer
standing through the entire day below
the freezing point. Since then the
weather has again been pleasant and
mild, and with the exception of one day,
on Saturday last we believe, workmen
have been constantly engaged out of
doors, and the masons have been busy
erecting composite walls, which cannot
be built during freezing weather.
Taking the month of October as a
whole We are not conscious of experien-
cling one so mild and pleasant as was
| the last This month in tbo aoSt IL rs,,
ally wet, with high winds and roads al
most impossible from the depth of the
mud, but such has not been the case
with the last in Kansas, on the contrary
but little rain has fallen, and no snow
has been observed, save during a short
time about the 94th of the month, when
fakes were seen in the air. but it did
not show itself on the earth, it was so
scarce

Complimentary to Lawrence.

Mr.. REDPATH, the intelligent reporter
of the st. Louis Democrat, stopped for
several days in Lawrence. and made the
acquaintance Of our principal citizens
during his stay among us. In the 9Th
number of his letters to the Democrat,
speaking of Law renee, he says =
sit is due the people here to say that
in all my journeyings,-and | have visit
ed every section of the Union east of the
Mississippi, and several towns and cities
west of it, never saw more orderly,
educated and industrious population than
is to be found in Lawrence and its neigh
borhOod."
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-11-17
SicklV,

Our friend, L. B. Wright, says the Con-
neaut, o., Reporter; of the Michigan
City Enterprise, talks like one having ex-
periencein the ChillS and Fevers so prev
alent in the country, especially in the
West. Hear him:
''Such haggard, miserable, oe-be-
gone, sallow complexioned, frozen aud
burnt to death people we presume were
never found as can be ''hunted up" in
this same Indiana. This Chill and Fe-
yer is an unpleasant disease, at the best.
In another place in the same paper we
find the following
1.-The article of quinine is exhausted in
three of the principal towns on the Wa
bash, in Indiana. Terre Haute ran short
first and then made run on Vincennes,
and exhausted the stock there. Vineen-
mes drew on Evansville and cleaned that
city outs
And yet we, here in Kansas, have al
lowed ourselves to think that it was ex-
ceedingly sickly in Kansas, and yet we
have great doubts about there being one
half the sickness in Kansas during the
last few months according to the popula-
ton as there was in many of the middle
and western states. Crawford county,
Pa, the healthiest county in the world,
has suffered severely from Ague and Fe-
YER the last summer.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-11-17
Murder.

We see in the st. Joseph Cycle, that a
fatal rencounter occurred few days ago
at Doniphan, between Pat Laughtin, the
Notwithstanding to his own confess
ion-and SAMUEL COLLINS, a Free State
man, and late Delegate to the Big Springs
Convention, growing out of Pofs expo
sure of secret organization said to exist
in the Territory. The Cycle represents
Pat as acting in self-defense, but nobody
believes the statement. COLLINS had re-
sided about year in the Territory, and
was man of intelligence and much per-
sonal worth. We shall have further infor-
ton as regards the facts in few days.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-11-17
Immense Emigration.

1t is indeed surprising to see the
crowds which are vending their way
daily into the Territory. If the reports
which reach US from all quarters are
reliable. and we believe they are, our
population viii nearly equal 10000 by
the first of December. and the spring
emigration viii make US equal from
10000 to 100000. Congress can hard
ly refuse US admitsance into the Union
for the want of sufficient population; fol
We shall reach the requisite number ere
the bill is acted upon by that body which
endorses our State Constitution.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-11-17
G.artline IntelIieence.

A gentleman direct from Parkville
brings the intelligence that GEo- S. PARK,
Esq. late publisher of the submerged
Industrial Luminary, has returned TO
that town; that a secret meeting has
been held in neighboring village, and
a notice served on Mr. P. to leave imme-
diateIy, or they will proceed TO violence
on Saturday of This week and forcibly
expel him from the country. The bust
ness men of Parkville have published an
address to the people of Platte county,
and The state of Missouri, asking for law
and order to be respected. The address
is before US, signed by B. F. Nicholson,
Thos. Aspiring. Fielding Burnes, Col.
Summers, DIR. Campbell and several 9TH
er of the most prominent citizens of
that town, whose names appear as COM
mittee They announce the fact OF Mr..
P's return the threat that is impending
over him; and their determination to
defend him to the last extremity. They
say he came upon business, at the urgent
solicitation of The people of the town
whose business relations were seriously
suffering in consequence of his protract-
ed absence They claim to be qualified
to guard their own interests, and ''de-
clair it to be their fixed purpose to sub
NIT to no aggressions of their rights"
We would love to stand by the side of
Mr.. Park during this crisis, and would
do so, were it not for delaying the mail
ing of our paper which is already too
far behind time.
Some of our boys may feel like going
over and seeing the fight. We are glad
to find the controversy is between the
people of Missouri, but we can't say we
look on indifferently. The right is with
those who are defending Mr.. Park, and
there are our sympathies, and there is
our assistance, if demanded.

Letter from nar. Hutohinson

A letter from our friend j. HUTcHIS-
aoS. Esq, states that he visited sew
eral persons Of distinction in Chicago
while on his way East, and found them
thoroughly posted in regard to Kansas
matters, and determined to do all in their
power, which is sustained by the laws
and constitution, to right matters here.
Dir. II. purposed going from Chicago
direct to Vermont, and thence through
the New England States. We hope he

important News.

We find the following news item in
the Kickapoo Pioneer. 1t is all news in
this quarter, and will be read with a
smile at the extreme gullibility of the
pro-slavery press. The Pioneer may
rest assured that an incident of the char
acter which he mentions would cause no
excitement in Lawrence. The "impli-
ments" are always ready for service, and
will require no furnishing when the con-
test comes -
can acquaintance just down from
Lawrence informs us that the decency up
there were terribly frightened last week.
Some pro-slavery wag started the word
that the sheriff and posse of ''ruffians''
were on their way to enforce the law re-
garding the printing and circulating of
Abolition documents. Immediately on
receipt of the news the town was in an
uproar-the sensation created was i'm
mense. The rust was rubbed off of guns,
and old swords were introduced to the
grind stone to give them an extra keeu-
ness. The chief of the Decency, the
editor of the Herald of Freedom, brought
forth his powder kegs and, it is said,
shed tears of joy to think that his days OF
martyrdom had arrived. Look outs were
placed upon the top of the Hotel to give
the word when the ''ruffians'' would heave
in sight. Night came on and the enemy
not appearing, they congratulated one
another upon having whole bones and re-
tired to bed. Next morning our WAC
whispered that the day before he suspect.

loving people of Lawrence were SOLD =

Characteristic.

Now the elections are over in the East
and the naotiue for coloring the facts in
regard to Kansas has ceased, we trust
the eastern press will no longer publish
articles of the following character from
the Squatter Sovereign, and other border
papers, and give them as facts to their
readers. Such statements are known 10
be false by every resident in Kansas,
and only published by the pro-slavery
press with the view of keeping their
party in countenance, and should not be
copied as facts by any well-wisher oi
Kansas.

immediate neighborhood several new
