Thc Naturalization and Gov. nccdcr.

The Administration and Gov. Rccdcr.
just as Gov Rccdcr was starting ON his
return to Kansas, he received communion
tion from the nepartm,n Of State at Wash
ington, calling him to account for some land
spcculations in Kanzas and in effect suspend
ing him from Office for the present The
charge is made on account Of some purchases
Of land made seven months ago from the
Kanzas half breed Indians. The ia Is alleged
were admitted by Gov. Rccdcr in letter
published three months ago. lie maintained
his right to purchase and sell the lands in
question. and asserted that the L. s. Judges
and the attorney for the Territory were
equally interested with himself in the trans
action. Tie transaction occurred more than
seven months ago, and no harm was done by
it., because the contracts concerning the lands
being promptly forwarded to the department
for confirmation, were, after duo considcrl-
ton. cancelled by order of the President
After the lapse Of time, so trivial a matter
might we'll have been supposed forgotten or
disposed Of The question naturally occurs,

OF secretly attempting, David Il. AtchiSon
has not only attempted, hut has done, in the

the words of Gov. Reeder, they see, to-day,

TnE GUT OF STRAWBERRIES On Saturda

TnE GLUT OF STRAWBERRIES. On Saturday
last, strawberry wagons lined the streets at
AN carly hour. They began in the morning
at three cents--at noon they were 2d-and
by sun-down or dark they were offered in all
directions at , cents the large basket
BY this time from the country bridge to
the theatre was n continuous line of straw
berry vehicles, with the luscious fruit display
ed, and the air was redolent Of their perfume.
Men and women, boys and girls, white,
black and cream-colored, were traversing the
streets hither and thither with their baskets,
dishes pans and blckies, filled with their
Sundays supply. For they are cheaper than
bread or potatoes and how much better J.
We do not eat Strawberries here as in other
places, like luxurious dainty--perhars

are furnished with bowl or a large white

EDUCATION IN CANADA.

While contemplating our own progress as nation,
We are apt to fell into the belief that oil other comnu-
mites are standing still. Thus our opinion OF the Ca
nadans is unfavorsbe, and 10 many minds, they are
little removed above the savage. The same habit OF
derogation is common also 70 England, In sdjudicst
ing on continental Affairs, and through the English
press are rendered truths the vspOrngs OF her
cyclists. Both people, however, may be somewhst
excused for this popularity, and especially when We
consider that the greater portion of the information
respecting foreign countries CONES TO them either
through the disseminated Of their several communities
or otherwise through those who have :" left their
country for their coanrys good" Such instructors
are always dangerous and their teachings SAVIOR little
Of truth.
To obtain Just knowledge Of things at distance,
we must refer 10 official papers and peruse them with
liberal forbeerance. In such spirit let Us examine
the recent reports education in Upper Canada, and
cempsre them with those made by our own authorities.
In l:52 the population Of Upper CAnsda was s'2 :
OOi and that Of the United States in l550 exclusive Of
slaves, was 10 Sci, 500. The number Of persons Of
