Kansas City is near the border Of the territory,
at the mouth Of the Kansas River. Here parties
dsembark, and make the necessary arrangements
for going at their own expense, TO that section Of
Kansas Territory, where, by the advice Of the Com
pany's Agents, or their own choice, they decide to
locate.
On this part of the route, regular meals, rs at
hotels cannot be had, and should not be expected ;
all other railroad routes at way stations per-
sons have IN opportunity Of taking lunch, or Of
purchasing various articles Of food so that the
cost need not average 20 cents the meal, and the
whole expenses to st. Louis ought not to exceed
50 co. Persons having families with them can
materially lessen their expenses, by taking along

Teachers Convention.

Arrangements have been made for Coun-
ty Teachers Convention, to be held in this
town, at the Union School House, on Sat
urday December 18th, at half past o'clock,
P. M. An address, appropriate to the oc-
casion, will be delivered by the Rev. F.
Hendricks of this place. A general rally is
expected, both of teachers and the friends
of education generally, and we fully believe
that no really live teacher, who is fully aOide
awake to the interests of his profession will
fail to be present if he can possibly attend.
Let it no longer be said that Sandusky is
asleep on educational matters.
Shall her sister counties any longer point
the finger of scorn at her as waste of ig-
noranee? Let the teachers answer; and
this question they must answer. Now what
shall be the decision? There are now over
one hundred teachers engaged in instructing
the youth of this county, and in their hands
is placed, in great measure, the interests
of this whole affair, and they must tell us,
either by staying away that they have no
interest but to get through with their
schools, and get their pay, or by turning out
and putting their shoulders to the work and
help to raise higher the standard of educa-
ton among US! Which will they do?-
"Come over and help u.s." TEACHER.

Married women In Kansas.


Joel I. Goodin, formerly of Kenton, Har-
din county, of this State, and nov member
of the Constitutional Convention of Kansas,
introduced the following resolution which
was passed:
"Resolved, By this Convention, that a
special committee of five be appointed, with
instructions to report plan to secure and
protect the rights of married women"
Afterwards the committee reported to the
Convention the following:
"Resolped, That the General Assembly
shall have no power to pass any law where
by the separate estate of married woman
either in property real personal, or mixed,
shall ever be made subject to the disposal Of
the husband, or subject to the payment OF
the debts of the husband in any manner I'M
less by the written consent of the wife first
obtained, duly acknowledged and recorded,
witnessed by at least two witnesses to be
named by the wife.
"That the General Assembly shall have
no power to pass any law depriving the mo-
ther of an equality with the father in the
maintenance, cduaation, and care of theil
children; and in no case shall the mother
be deprived of her children except per ac
count of insanity, intemperance, or other
gross improprieties."
We trust clause Incorporating the above
principles may find its place in the funda-
mental law of that young State.

A Sensible View,


The New York Tribune closes an able
and candid article on the Republican move
ment with a reference to the probable action
of Congress in the election of Speaker
The concluding paragraph is significant and
worthy of special note at this time. If there
was ever period when sensible, conserva-
tive men ought to overlook secondary issues,
and unite against the common enemy, it is
now:
"The Republican movement can only be
beaten by adopting its principles and prom
ising to do its work. The moment the peo-
pie understand that they are to be used to
favor or facilitate the surrender of Kansas to
slavery, they bolt; and to this end events
arc rapidly fastening. The organization Of
the House will show what is really intended
on this side or on that far more clearly than
any colIocation of mere words. We Repub
licans, who are utterly opposed to the essen
tial idea of NativeisIn, are willing to waive
all differences between lis and other oppo-
nents of Slavery Extension, if we may there
by save Kansas from the clutch of the Slave
power. So that the new Speaker and Clerl
are clearly hostile to Atchison, StringfellOv
and Whitfield, we do not care to ask wha
they think of ",Sam." And now, should tho
organization of the House be thrown int
Pro-Slavcry hands, the people will know
why and by whom, and will pass judgmen
accordingly"

HOW the Knockings are Donel

Speaking of the Spiritual RaPpings, which
are troubling the minds of some people now
a-days, the Cleveland Herald says: awe
cannot consider our duty performed without
re-publishing the very clear and satisfactory
elucidation of these spiritual phenomena as
laid down awhile since by correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial. Until his ex-
planation, the Philosophy of these manifes-
tations was sealed book, he, however, has
made it perfectly clear to those who under
stand him. He says:
The only true and legitimate manner Of
accounting for the taps is the physiological
defects of the membraneous system. The
obtuseness of the abdominal indicator causes
the cartilaginous compressor to congulate
into the diaphragm, and depresses the du-
Odenum into the fiandange. Now, if the
taps were caused by the VOCATION of the
electricity from the extremities, the tympa-
mum would also dissolve into spiritual sine
tum, and the olfactor would ferment and be-
come identical with the pigmentum
Now, this is not the case; in order to
produce the taps the spiritual retendum must
be elevated down to the spiritual sphere
But, as said beftre, the inf r.or ligaments
must not subtend over the digitorum sufh-
ciently to disorganize the sterciletum.
Another, equally learned, takes some ex-
ceptions to the assertion that the "depres-
sion of the duodenum into the handango
could, by any possibility, cause the olfaetory
ossifcator to fernent and become identical
with the pigmentum," and says:
The vibratory motion communicated to
the tuniea alburgenia by the parturition Of
the alveola process, effectually disintegrates
the pericardiac influences of the ep;gastrium,
and produces a compound corpuscular move
ment of the lymphatic glands; which alb
normal and diagnostical state of the nervous
system, deterioates preponderance Of the
lacteal fluid to the po5tcrior portion of the
cerebelum, and predisposes the patient to
preternatural di5tension of the auricular orr
fee; in which case the rappings become
painfully and distinctly audible.
The Spiritual Hor5iager, paper printed
at Rochester, and advocating the spiritua
rapping mania, has the following:
In the twelfth hour, the glory of God. the
lite of God, the Lori in God, the Holy Pro
cedurc shall crown the Tribune Creator with
the perfect disclosive illumination. Then
shall the Creation in efulgence above the
Divine scraphimaI, arise into the dome ot
the disclosure in one comprehensive revolv-
ing galaxy of supreme created Beatitudes.'
After copying the above paragraph, the
Cayuga Chief responds as follows:
Then shall the blockhaads in the Jackass-
ical dome of disclosive procedure above tho
ALFRED great laatherfungu5 of Peter Nipin
ny 90 the Goozcberry Grinder, rise into the
dome of the discloure, until co-equal and co
