the roof. Poles are then placed around
the sides in a standing position, and the
whole is covered with straw. This makes
q very warm stable, but is said TO be un-
healthy, as it is apt to get damp.
Working horses and cattle are, of
course, fed hay, stalks, and corn. The
hay is mostly cured prairie grass, which
is very good, both for cattle and horses.
Very little account is made Of haying, as
grass can be found in any quantity, and
hay is in small demand, selling for from
81 to Sc per ton here. In Dubuque,
however, it has been as high as SIS to
$50. Corn stalks making good fodder,
most farmers lay in quantity of them.
AS for housing their fodder, no one
pretends to do it. Hay and stalks are
stacked, or rather piled up, and as it
rains very little during the winter, they
keep in very good condition.

From Kansas.
HOWARD.

The Springfield Republican has the
following:

Ter had become warm and fine. Notwith-
Standing the severe winter, he and his
family had been wholly free from colds,
which he attributes to the pure, dry air of
Kansas, SO generally noticed. They hear
the axes of choppers in the woods two
miles of, as if they were at the very door.
Our correspondent does not believe there
is danger of another Missouri foray this
spring. The rufians are satisfied with
the promise of the President to do their
work for them, and will be contented to
look on while their laws are forced upon
the people of Kansas by government
muskets. The members of the Legisla-
ture expected to be arrested for treason,
and were ready to meet the issue before
the Supreme Court. One of the brave
Kansas women lately gave the Kiekapoo
Rangers a fright. Kickapoo is a resort
for desperadoes from the Missouri side.
whose rangers have made the country so
to quiet people for miles
around that many of the settlers have for
saken their claims and retired to other
parts Of the territory. One day in Feb
ruary these Legitimate rulers" of Kansas
were at the Kickapoo groceries having a
high time, and steaming up preparatory
to some new outrage, when young lady
on horseback suddenly entered the settle
ment, alighted and went into the stores
and groceries, inquired in every place for
some articles they were sure not to have, |
took a searching look at the bystanders, |
and departed. The rangers smelt mis-
chief, and several of them took horses
and followed her out of the village. They |
overlook her, and told her they believed
she was spy; and that she must go back
with them. She coolly declined to go, |
and taking six-shooter from her belt. |
where another of the same sort and a
bowie knife were also displayed, told
hem to interfere with her at their peril
They thought better of it and retreated,
and the rangers at the groceries immedi-
ately seized their arms and went home to
Missouri, believing that the young lady
was spy from some. camp of Lawrence
Flhemen, concealed near by and ready to
bounce upon them, She was only the
wife OF a squatter, looking after her mis-
ing husband. ...--...

College Riot.

A very serious riot occurred few
days ago at the Columbian College, South
Carolina. 1t originated in an assault
made by a drunken student on one of the
city guard. The student had the worst
of il, and his fellow students were rallied
in his favor. They were finally quieted
for the night. The next morning the
President proposed submitting the case
to the judgment of twelve gentlemen /;
but the students refused, committed fresh
outrages and got possession of the rifles
belonging to the College Company.
The scene thus presented was such as
Columbia never before saw. Two hun
dred armed citizens, with guns loaded with
ball-cartridges, opposed to more than a
hundred enraged young men, with rifles
in their hands. The order to take aim
was given, and fire might have followed
had not Colonel Goodwin anothers thrown
themselves between and called on the citi-
zens not to fire. After much persuasion
by the Faculty, the students were induced
to return to the college.
Matters renamed IN an unserueu srare
for two days, when on the requisition of
the Board Zone account says on the threat
of the Governor that he would fire upon
the students,) they gave up their rifles.
The masters of the college company
are directed to be suspended, and the
propriety of suppressing and disbanding
the college company is referred to COM
mittee, to report next May.
Letters from Columbia, of March 8.
state that the disturbances at the college
in that place are not over yet, and the
exercises had been temporarily suspend
ed. On Thursday, the students threat
ened to rebel unless the trustees returned
the arms to the College cadets. The
Governor interposed and partially quiet
ed them, but a few still hold out. A
large number of students had left the
college, and others had been suspended.
so that only thirty or forty retain their

LETTER FROM IOWA.

MAQUoKETA, March 10.
FRIEND EARLE,-Soon after my last
the weather turned about cold, and con-
tinues so to the present time. There has
been light fall Of snow, but not enough
to make sleighing. Spring seems as far
distant as itdid month ago. The winter
though 1t has not reached the length of a
Vermont winter, is beginning to be disa-
greeable, and all wish it over: for. tho,
this is one of the finest countries in tho
world, few are yet so situated as to ba
comfortable for any length of time in cold
weather, They have left their comforts
and conveniences, and I may say pleas
uFes, toe, in their old eastern homes
HE facility with which wealth is ACQUIRED
mere, hardly makes up for the loss of the
pleasures connected with friends and ac-
quaintances, and of knowing that they
are always near. Too many came west
without stopping to count the cost. They
only think Of what they are to gain. and
hardly give a thought to what they must
lose.
For the last few years the rise in the
value Of land has been very great
Some in this vicinity which could have
oeen bought a few years ago for a small
sum, would now sell for from $50 to s1o0
per acre, and that, too, where very little
improvement has been made.
Farmers can keep almost any amount
OF stock they can raise, for pasturipg
costs nothing at all except the trouble Of
looking after their animals, which some
tunes get astray, for they are allowed the
Iree range Of the prairie, which affords
Inc pest OF grazing throughout the sea-

connection.

The St. Louis Democrat announcas
the arrival in that city of twenty vounp
men, all hailing from Charleston S. c.,
and all bound for Kansas, who profess to
be engineers and surveyors. They are
armed with rifles. They are believed 10
be the vanguard Of large party, ex-
pected in few weeks. Besides the
above, large body of Tennesseeang. en-
route for Kansas, reached St. Louis on
the 18th inst. About fifty of the party
had rifles, and there were 20 or Is ne
groes with them.
AT meeting of the citizens of Lafay-
cite County, Mo-, held at Lexington. an
address "to the President and people of
the United States was adopted, which
pronounces -" the statement of G. Robin
son, j. II. Lane, and others, that a large
force OF Alssourians, amply provided with
artillery, is being organized for the inya-
SION OF Kansas and the butchery of its
Free State Inhabitants or for any other
