At Parkville. Missouri, recently. mob
collected and threw into the river the press

of freedom in Kansas. One of the editors
fled before the mob. and the other was only
saved from tar and feathers by the heroism
of his wife. who could not be torn from him
Before adjourning, the mob passed the
following resolutions /:
THAT we meet here again on this day
three weeks, and if we find G.. S. Park or
w. j. Patterson in this town then, or at any
subsequent time. We will throw them into
the Missouri river, and if they go 10 Kan

take them.
That we will suffer 70 person belonging
to the Northern Methodist Church to preach
IN Platte county after this date, under pen

CROPS AND PRICES.

The Buffalo papers are Discussing the prospect
of prices for wheat and -four between the presen
time and the coming harvest. The Rspu5li
says:
That estimate was made up after the mos
careful research. aud was approved by nearly al
the dealers" in The various places frotn whenc.
the supplies are expected, and we are satisfied o
its correctness. Bat we have M desire TO con
trover the points. made by the Express cores
pendent. His figures show all that we have ev-
er claimed, viz-that there Is sufficient supply
OF breadstuffs hand TO last until harvest, with
something of surplus for export, in case there
is any expor, demand. The question of high oil
low prices is euIy question between the dealers
aud The banks. If the former can persuade the
latter 10 keep them in funds until after harvest, we
shalt have no decline--otherwise, within three
weeks after the opening of navigation, we should
have d crash such as has not been witnessed in
commercial circles for years.
This, as the extract indicates, Is denied by the
Express, which insists upon it that the supply is
short-that the prices must maintain their presen t
fgute--or go up if they change at all, and con.
cudes with the assertion that
Let any accident happen to the crop of 1855,
anu there would be general famine throughout
the world.
The N. Y. Tribune also sides in opinion with
the Express, and with other N. Y. papers is en-
deavorng reconcile its readers almost to state
of famine, and urges the farmers to extraordinary
exertions in raising crops
The ST. Louis Republican, after endorsing the
short crop and high price theory, prognos,cates,
