KANSAS OUrRAcEs.-We clip the follow
ing from the Kansas correspondence of the
Cincinnati Commercial:
Among hundreds of outrages which have
come to my notice ! will mention one. The
house of DR.. D. was entered by twenty five
rutfians, armed to the teeth all his clothing
except such as he had upon his person, was
taken. His wife's apparel was then examin-
ed and every article of value APPROPRIATED
The family comprises large number OF chill
dren; their wardrobe-even little dresses,
socks, bonnets, caps and tcys-was either
stolen or destroyed. A sister of Mrs. d.
had recently died. A few linen articles and
some jewelry had been laid away and care
fully preserved as mementoes Of the loved
and lost. Even these relics were not sacred
from tie touch of the vandals, but were all
removed. The dwelling was then ritied of
its remaining contents and the party depart
ed. Events of this kind are of such frequent
occurrence that they excite no remark here.

New York on Saturday last, who arrived at
