yenworth, Kansas, sometime near the 9Th Ct
September Mr.. Wall, who is . shoemaker by
trade, left this city on the 18th Of August for
Leavenworth, and his friends here have had no
information from him for two weeks. We have
examined all the papers on the subject. but
can find no particulars Of the murder, although
we noted socounts VI the arrest vi two men
for the crime, and the efforts OF the populace
to lynch them and that before they were
lyneLed, the supposed murdered man made his
appearance in good health. This. taken in con
nec,ion with the fact, that the men appear TO
have been arrested merely on the supposition
Of the murder. arising, probably, from the man
having been missed, and they known to be in
company with him. leads us 10 believe that the
report is unfounded, and that Mr.. Wall is still
alive. We should have made no mention Of the
report, except TO relieve the mind. Of the
friends and acquaintance of Mr. W. until they
receive the most definite Information.

BASE INcENDlARY ArTEAPT.--A well con
ceiyed and almost successful attempt to de
stroy fine block OF frame buildings on Faint
Anthony street. was discovered on Thursday
night, at an early hour. The building where
this attempt was made, is occupied as Billiard
saloon, known as the Metropolitan, near the
corner OF wabashaw street. The combustbles.
consisting OF two gross Of matches, some shay
lngs, and a bottle OF turpcntinc, were placed
under the stairs. and the matches set on fire.
Being only about nine o'clock, the light was
soon disc oyered, but considerable eNertion was
necessary TO subdue the fame. We hadhoped.
our city was free from the nccndiary, but il
appears not.
Pressed BRicE.--A line house has lately been
erected in the First Ward, OF this city, by VIM
Branch, Esd, which is worthy Of note, from
the material used in its construction. being

Of sand aud lime, and the form il given to them

machine, which can turn them out with great
raplty. These brick are three times the size
Of ordinary brick, partially hollow and OF
dark gray color. After coming from the ma

free passage OF air around them. 30 AS TO dry
them without the use OF lire. The brick of
which Mr.. Branch's house IL constructed, were

ments all OF last winter. When We examined
them Las, Fail, we had no idea they would ever
be used for house building, a. they appeared
to lack sodty, being readily crumbled and
easily broken in two. But during the winter
they hardened sufficiently to justify Mr.. Branch
in using them, and the effect is one Of the hand
soonest looking honSes in town. We believe
the manufacture has been discontinued, for

as good az they look and the proper material
