Prices of Property.

As some evidence that Leavenworth City
is considered by capitalists the very place
where great city is to prosper and -four
ish, we will refer TO facts, and not mere
fancy sketches, 1t is admitted on all hands,
that the price of property as general thing,
is some evidence Of the business and pros
pcrity Of the town. This being admitted,
Leavenworth City is not far behind many Of
the older cities.
DIR. Few sold ffty-fve acres, adjoining
town; for eleven thousand dollars, which is
5000 per acre. ,..... ......
Abel Gilbeat sold SIS acres adjoining
town at the same price, 5000 per acre.
Rev. w. G. Caples sold ten acres, adjoin-
ing Gilbert's for two thousand dollars, or
5000 per acre.
Mr.. Fisher sold twenty acres, west Of
Gilbert's, for four thousand dollars, or 5000
per acre.
Mr.. Henderson sold claim Of l60 acres
to DR.. Frederick, of Shelby county, Ky,
for five thousand. The claim is improved
and is three miles Southwest of this city.
Lots have been selling at various prices,
ranging from 800 10 $4,000 each. Four
vacant lots on Cherokee between second and
third streets, were sold for $4,000. The
lots front altogether Sc feet by 1876, and are
not on corner.
These may be considered high prices,
but when it is considered we have a city
only two years old with 1900 inhabitants,
and 500 buildings, with the best location on
the Missouri river, and bright prospects for
the future, it is low to what the same prop
erty will be in five years. Buyers and
bidders for property increase each day
Now is the time 10 set choice locat. ons.-
In short time they can scarcely be bought
at any price.

What the Leader thinks of the Ameri-

The Catholic Leader, whose editor is an
apostate Wing, and an apostate Protestant,
thus classically designates the American
purty-the party which includes in its ranks
as its sincerest supporters, the best men in
St. Louis. How much of the unforgiving
bitterness Of the true Jesuit that he is, sat
urates the picture he paints of his fellow
citizens!
"The Know Nothings--m up chiefly
Of the most corrupt portion Of the old Wing
party, and the most corrupt portion Of all
other parties. They organized and combined
with the sole object Of beaiing the Demo-
cratic party, oil getting possession of the
Offices, and patronage Of the Government,
and Of revealing uncontrolled in the enjoy
ment of the spoils. Their platform had but
two planks opposition to the foreigner land
dislranchisement Of the Catholic. Their
principles really embraced but two ideas
hatred and bigotry. They raised their foul
standard, and all the unprincip!ed, the sore
headed, the disappointed, the impatient,
scabby, trimming, eprous politicians flocked

rupt men Of all the corrupt ci'es--the NOR

fill its ranks, and make up its violent and
rampant host. These macontents did not
go forth, as Of old to the cave OF Adullam,
10 find leader and a captain, in a great man,
with a great mind like David, but they
stealthi'y gathered into the cellars and caves
Of dark alleys at midnight, 10 meet the apos-
lie of their order--the hero of the Five
Points the Immortal Buntline! Here, with
impious oaths, they coucoced their schemes,
they laid out their plans, they plotted and
conspired against the Democratic party. a
gainst the Constitution, against the laws,
against the foreigner, against the Catholic,
against society, against all order, decency
and duty. The motto on their gloomy flag
was "rule or ruin!" and the murders. the
burnings, the rutfian violence, the corrupt
stufings of the ballot box, will attest the
iiendish spirit and the corrupt motives which
prompted them. Maturing their plans in Sc
cret, inscriptions in the use Of means and
acting as a unit, for short time they SEEM
ed 10 prosper. and attain partial successes.
This lasted just long enough to make their
confidence strsnger than their prudence, and
caused them TO exhibit the true character OF
their spirit, and the foul nature of their de-

SINGING MousE.-We were shown this
morning living curiosity in the shape of a
mouse, which possessed and exercised the
musical powers, somewhat similar to Ca

since at No. 339 Broad street, near Fair, by
a gentleman, who, while sick, made 1t quite
tame, and was accustomed 10 hear it sing
every day, sometimes for hours, without
ceasing.
1t is in appearance, similar to a common
house mouse, and was first heard on the
shelves in the store, and subsequently ap-
peared in the gentleman's sleeping ROOM
The sounds produced are of varied char
acter, and denote most distinctly the pres
ence OF not only fear. distress, but content
ment and pleasure. Its voice is not very
lond nor powerful, but still possesses con-
siderable compass; aud the transition from
one note TO another are made with remarka-
Bile grace and accuracy. When hungry it
generally sings the loudest, in somewhat
plain,ive tone, as If asking for food. 1t is
quite tame. -[Newark Daily Advertiser.
