The Primitive Printing Office

The Office Of the Weekly Herald, published
in Leavenworth, Kansas, was recently visi
ted by correspondent of an Eastern paper
and is thus described by him:
ga visit to the printing office afforded a
rich treat. On entering the first room on
the right hand three law shingles were on
the door; ON one side was a rich bed
French blankets, sheets, table cloths, shirts
c!oaks and rugs, all together; on the wall
hung hams, maps, venison and rich engrav.
lngs, onions, portraits, and boots: on the
floor were a side of bacon, carved to the
oone' corn and potatoes, stationery and books;
on nice dressing case stood a wooden tray
halt full OF dough, while crockery occupied
the professional desk. In the room on the
lett-the aanctum-the housewife, cook and
editor, lived in glorious unity-one person.
He was seated on n stool, with paper be-.
lore him on piece of plank, writing Wig
orous KNOCK down to an article in the Kicka.
poo Pioneer, paper of rival city. The
cooking stove was at his left, and tin kettles
all around; the corn cake was doin' and
instead Of scratching his head for an idea, IS
editors often do, he turned tie cake and went
ahead"

. Horse Thieves in Iowa.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune,
writing from Lyons, Iowa, under the date OF
June 81, gives the following account of the
proceedings of a Vigilance Committee, in
that neigbborhood. He says:
On last Thursday, large number of men
from the western portion of Clinton county,
also some from Scott, Cedar and ckson
counties, assembled to break up a gang of
horse thieves which has infested the neigh
borhood OF Toronto, on the Wapsipincon
river. The Committee is said to have been
composed of about two hundred man. They
proceeded to the house of Mr. Warren, an
old resident ofClinton county, and surround
ed it. Mr.. Warren was blowing corn in his
field near by, when the regulators" arrest
ed him. His house was searched, and some
papers found, which showed that the horse
thieves had made that place rendezvous, to.
gether with list of the stopping places of
the gang, and schedule of the cost of run.
ming away stolen horses. Warren was then
arraigned before the Regulators" tried,
found guilty, and hung upon tree near his
own house. Warren is said to be an old Of
fender, and am informed has been tried be-.
lore the courts once or twice for horse steal
ing, but always acquitted. few moments
before the REGULATORS" came to his house, he
was warned by neighbor of their approach,
and advised to mount his horse and fee, but
refused to do 80. On the same day Thurs.
day, man by the name of Page, one of the
suspected gang, was shot dead while trying
to escape from the Regulators"

Strange and Melancholy Death.

The Hamilton (Ohio) Telegraph, of June
3oth. says: On lest Sunday week, , the daugh-
ter of Squire Scudder, of Liberty township,
while reading piece of poetry entitled "Do
they miss me at Home" was so much effec-
ted that she tainted. Her mother immedi,
ately sprang to her assistance, and together
with Mr. Scudder, her father, did all in their
power to revive her. Itwas full fifteen min
utes before she became fully sensib e. Her
mother gave up all hopes of her recovery
again to life, and ran to the door, excaiming
she was unwell; at the same time throwing
up quantity of froth and blood. Mr.. Scud.
der assisted his wife 10 bed, and in less than
one hour she was corpse. She was IN per.
feet health previous to this.

The California Overland Mail
Route,

The selection made by the Postmaster
General of the route for the Pacific Mail
seems to meet with universal approval
The Memphis Bulletin says:
ave hail with feelings Of unmingled sat.
isfacton the announcement made in our tel.
egraphic dispatches, of the award of the con-
tract for carrying the overland mail between
the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast
1t is to be q semi weekly service, and to
start both from Memphis and St. Louis, the
lines converging into one at Little Rock,
Arkansas. All honor to the enlightened
Justice which, whether it be the result of
Cabinet consultations, or is attributable to
the intelligence and sense of right Of the
head OF the Post Office Department, has
thus done the thing which ought to have
been done. 1t is right that St. Louis shou ID
have branch line. 1t would be proper that
Vicksburg or New Orleans should have an.
other. 1t is especially right that Memphis
should be the terminus of the main trunk
line.
"The awarding of this contract settles the
question of the location of the national Pa
ciic railroad. Henceforth the Memphis
route is without rival; for not more surely
do 'the tracks of the buffalo point to the
best crossing, than will these overland mail
wagons bluze out the way for the steam To-
comotive. The first marks of their wheels
upon the virgin soil are but the pioneers of
the driving wheels of the iron horse. The
dream begins to assume the shape of reali-
ty. Hope already begins to melt into frui-
tion."

A Lady killed by q Rocket

In Chicago. on the 4th, lady named Mrs
Ssrah A. Smith, was struck dead by rock
ct, which entered her forehead, and appa
rently exploded in the cavity of the skull
scattering her brains in all directions. The
rocket entered third story window. The
Press says:
"The unfortunate woman had Just enter.
ed the room to meet her husband who was
to 60 to walk with her. Seeing him lock
out from the window with two other persons,
she stepped softly up to the group; just then
the explosion took place and the rocket
came Kissing on its errand of death. The
first knowledge that Mr.. Smith had that his
wife was in the room, was seeing her when
he turned, lying a ghastly and bleeding
corpse upon the floor :!

GFA gold and copper mine has been dis,
covered on Hennepin Island, at St. Anthony

1t: "The Water Power Company are now

In excavuting the rock, they have discover
ed splendid specimens Of gold and copper

$2s,OOO.

We are informed by reliable authority
that the Republican Treasurer of Delaware
county is defaulter to the amount Of $2s,.
900. So it goes. The peoples money is
squandered by the Black Republicans by
thousands and tens of thousands. 1t is now
time that the people should rise in their
might, and sweep out those men from places
they are unworthy 20 hcld-and put honest
men and Democrats in their stead. That
county by Black Republican rule has to pay
the nice little sum of $2s 900, to Black Re.
publican cupidity and venalty. Shall we
submit to the rule of party that is so un.
faithful in the execution of the important
trusts confided to its care!
6rSince writing the above we learn from
the Ohio Statesman and other sources, that
this precions Treasurer-one OF the shrillest
"screechers" in the ranks of the Know
Nothings and their allies who now control
the destinies Of the State of Ohio, under the
lead of the immaculate lead of Chase and
"that ilk"-has uamoosed with the funds

Keep il before the People.

That VIM. Fl. Gibson has stated distinct
ly, and published to the world, that the de
falcation was caused by John G. Breslin
and that not one dollar Of the public funds
had been lost by him. Ohio State Journal
There are several other matters which we
desire may be kept before the people. Mr.
G bson has stated unaer o1th, that he had re.
ceiyed all the money save $204,0O0 from ].
G. Breslin, which belonged to the treasury
making himscfout defaulter to $547, 900.
Shall we believe Gibson under oath, or take
his verbal statement now made in contra.
dction of his former oathl If we believe
him when he was sworn by the Investiga.
ting Committee, then he is defaulter; if
we believe his present statement, then he is
perjurer. In this view of the facts, there
are some few thugs which should be borne
in mind.
BEAR IN MIED-That VIM. H. Gibson,
the Republican, was elected to office under
the plea of retrenchmept and reform.
BEAR IN MIND-That in June, 1857, under
his administration, there was a defalcation
discovered to the amount of more than half
a million of dollars, and that not dollar of
the money has yet been found.
BEAR IN MIND-That Alfred Kelly, on the
9th day of March, 1856, previous to the
above defalcation, examined the treasury
cnd found the money all ON hand
BEAR IN MIND-That Robert w. TAYLOR
the acute and vigilant Chairman of the In.
vestigating Committee, examined the treas
ury after Breslin left, and found the money
all on hand.
BEAR IN MIND-That Robert w. TAYLOR,
put Gibson under oath, and that Gibson,
while under oath, affirmed that the money
was all in the treasury.
BEAR IN MIND That State Auditor Wright
and Governor Chase examined the treasury,
counted the money, and found it all there.
BEAR IN MIND-That Gov. Chase, we'll
knowing all these facts, attempts to shield
G bson and throw the whole blame upon
BresliD, the former Treasurer. And finally
BEAR IN NIND-That during eighteen
months of Republican administration, the
treasury has been robbed of over half mil.
lion of dOlIars-money has been borrowed
in defiance of the provisions of the Constitu.
have been let loose TO prev
upon society-the child OF the poor man has
been robbed of his library-,he public ex-
penses have been increased-the State has
been disgraced and its credit broken DOWN
treason has been encouraged, and anarchy
and disorder everywhere countenanced.

the present season at 10000, and is of the
