preacher, from Vermont. He says:
"Tbs Spring l planted about ten scres corp'

,,oubles us now is the Internal writs. Tux is the
main thing that keeps up the prejudcss Of our people
against Gov Geary As soon as he can clear them
ont as he has the Georgisns and the Aabamans, the
people Ill begin to trust him.
Such testimony as the above must satisfy any
man not wholly eaten up by prejudice that Geary
ia doing better at least than Shannon. And have
no doubt that he will put an end to this writ bust
ness at the earliest practicable moment. Give
"bis Fxcellency" time. "Alrs we'll that ends
WE'LL" ought, however, to admit that one out
rage has taken place within the last fortnight down
on Big Sugar Creek, near the borders. The house
and buildings of Mr.. Arthur, member OF the
Topeka Legislature, have been burned. This,
which is now the exceptional case, was, before the
arrival of Gov. Geary, the rule.

robbers fell dead. With an oath and shou
of dismay, Stephano sprang forward, bat
quick as thought Blanca seized a carbine be-
longing to a dead robber, and retreating to
the back of the stage, exclaimed
8 Blank cartridges for stage robbers, bull
lets for real ones. Advance one step, Steph-
ano, and will fire.
Then turning to the people, she called up
on them to seize the robber. and he was soon
hound, for the people needed only some fear
less voice TO arouse them from their stupor,
and make them act.
Stephano was tried and convicted, and his
head chopped off: but not before he had dis
closed the. place of Antonio's confinement, and
the place for the bandits rendezvous, which
was in a large cave but short distance from
the village, the existence of which was never
suspected, and which was found filed with
booty. Antonio was released, and with un-
diminished affection was received by Blanca,
and but few days elapsed before their nuptials
were celebrated with great rejoicing. The
little village of Chieti still is in existence !;
though it has increased in size and population
and changed many of its customs, still the
name of Blanca Bandettini and the Bandit
Chief, is unforgotten.

1hey were the butt Of the whole crew, from
the peculiar a5tuseness of their intellects, and
because they either could not or would not
learn anything, and literally were :" not
worth their SALT
1he brig was short of hands, and put into
small bay on the coast of Africa. Being
anchored off some distance from shore, the
otheers and crew went ashore to collect wood
and water, leaving our two heroes to watch
Gu the upper deck, with orders to fire one of
the guns in case of an attack by the natives.
The captain had sooner landed, than
