ANOTHER OUTRAGE IN KANsAs.-We learn
from the Tuscarawas (Ohio) Advocate, that
a former citizen of Dover township, in that
county, named Samuel J. Snyder, was lately
tarred and feathered, and rode on rail in
Kansas, becauss he raised his voice against
slavery.
e Judge Mason, late Commissioner
of Patents, whose resignation was rendered
some months since, but has not been formal
ly accepted is expected to return to Wash
ington about the lst of November, and re-
sumo the duties of the office, which he filed
with decided ability.
e Miss Andrews, the noble young la
dy who has rendered efficient service to the
sick during the prevalence of the epidemic,
still remains in Norfolk, and has fortunately
escaped an attack of the fever.

EL There is much sickness in Kansas
at the present time among those who have
settled along the banks of streams, and in
the border of the woods. The uplands are
comparatively healthy.
AN ARCTIC NEwsPAPER.-The New York
Herald, in its account of the exploring expe-
dition, mentions the following memorable in
cident in newspaper annals "a weekly
newspaper, under the title of the Iceblink,
was published on board for some seven or
eight weeks. 1t was in manuscript, and its
motto was, in tenebris serrare Jfdem-sustain
your trust, even in darkness. A copy of it
will be historic memento worth preserv-
ing"
E<Col. Samuel Colt sent Field Marshal
Pelissier pair of his revolvers, and Pelis-
sier sends the Colonel an autograph letter
thanking him for the same.
PUBLIC REyENUE.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times says the
sales and location of public lands are repre-
sented to have been larger during the last
quarter than for any corresponding period in
the history of our Government. The reve-
nue. derived from this source is expected to
exceed $780, 600. The receipts from duties
for the qnarter ending 30th September is sta
ted to amount to $l5,00O,O00. The aggre-
gate of revenue for the quarter, from lands
and customs, must exceed $17, ,5O0,O 900. The
first quarter of the year is the heaviest as
respects, and this amount cannot be regard
ed as an average for the remaining quarters.
The falling of, as compared with the same
division of the last fiscal year, is 100000,
but this exhibits rate of decline not ex-
pected to continue. In fact, there are rea-
sons for estimating the receipts from customs
for the years 1856 at somewhat higher
figure than last year.
BRIGHAM YoUNG SPEAKING.-Brigham
Young is still abroad in Utah. In late
speech, the Holy Prophet talks to his saint
ly hearers after this wise:
Cup to this time we have carried theworld
on our backs. Joseph (Smith) did it in his
day, beside carrying this whole people, and
now all this is upon my back, with my fam
ily-9O wives and 221 children-to provide
for at the same time, and we will carry it all
and bear off the kingdom of God. And you
may pile on State after State, and kingdom
after kingdom, and all hell on top, and we
will roll on the kingdom of our God, gather
out the seed Of Abraham, build the cities
and temples of Zion, and establish the king
dom of God to bear rule over all the earth,
and let the oppressed go free. 1 have never
yet talked so rough in these mountains as !
did in the United States, when they killed
Joseph. there said coldly and aloud: eff
ever man should lay his hands on me and
say, (on account of my religion) you are my
prisoner, the Lord Almighty helping me, l
would send that man to hell across lots. I
feel so now. Let robbers keep their hands
off from me or will send them where they
belong; am always prepared for such an
emergency"
