town some eight or ten miles southwest
of White Cloud, which bids fair to

sequence. We have mover had the pleas

They have advertised Sale of Lots to
come off there on Saturday, the 26th
inst, as will be seen by reference to our
advertising columns. The town has one
of the finest and most pleasant situations
in Northern Kansas, on roads leading
directly from several important river
towns. The country around is rapidly
filling up with settlers; and buiness men
who wish pleasant location, in which
to drive profitable trade, would do
well to avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity to secure cheap property, which will
be constantly increasing in value. From a
personal acquaintance with most of the
Proprietors of Padonia, we can recon-
mend them as men of energy, tact and
integrity, who viii spare no efforts to
build up town worthy of the County
and its people.

Accident.

On Saturday last, the son of John Flu

wing a team belonging to Mr.. Mohler,
when the horses became fractions, left the
road, and run off. The lad finding himself
unable to manage the horses, endeavored
to jump from the wagon, but in so doing,
his right foot caught in the hay rack, by
which he was dragged some four rods, un-
til passing bridge, the boy was drawn be-
tween two logs and torn loose from the
wagon. His right ankle and left knee we're
much injured. He also received two Sc

bruises upon various parts of the body

width across the block. 1t is hereby made the duty
of the Marshal Of said town, to see that all per

ISWhat pity it is, that people who
own property in town, don't think enough
of it to keep it i. good state of repairs.
If every one would take an interest in his
own property. build sidewalks. plant
shade trees, DC, the looks would am
ply pay the expense, and besides, would
materially lessen the Marshal's labor
Some people have got an erroneous idea IN
to their heads, that it would be wrong to do
anything for their own benefit, or not, un-
less theg have orders from an official, who
is duly elected, commissioned. and quail
fed to give orders, and oftener than other
wise, the ''ten days notice" has nearly ex-
PRED before anything is done, as ordered.
This should not be the case. When side
walks are found to be in bad condition,
the owner should at once proceed, whether
ordered or not, to repair tie same, so that
foot travellers may pass over 1t after night,
without being in danger, every step they
take, of being thrown down by loose and
sprung boards.

Game Law.

Ovr sporting friends would do well to
hear in mind, that, from and after the first
of the present month, it will be unlawful
to kill wild game, as the sections set forth
below.
Sec. 1st declares it to be unlawful under
penalty of $40, to kill, trap, or ensnare,
any deer, between the LIST day of january
and the LIST day of August.
Sec. Cd declares it unlawful, under a
penalty of So for every wild turkey, shot,
trapped. or otherwise destroyed, between
the first Of March and the first of Septem-
Der.
Sec. Sd. Two dollars for every quail or
pheasant shot, trapped, or netted, from
January 1st to October LIST.
Sec. 4th. Two dollars for shooting, trap.
ping or otherwise destroying prairie hens
or chickens from LIST Of January to lst Of
October.
There is no law for shooting prairie
ROSTERS, at any time of the year. They
are supposed to belong to the super
numerary fowls of the no-account kind,
and therefore the cackeL alton is, that they
are exempt from the to~l law Of this
