A Coon TxE.-Decidsdly the best

A Coon TxE.-Decidedly the best,
most pleasant and agreeable time, for
fun, sociability, and enjoyment. that has
ever been witnessed in White Cloud, was
on Monday evening last, in Mr.. Huff
mans new building. which, in honor Of
afayorite Hotel in Pennsylvania, he had
termed, for the occasion, the Pryor
House" The exercises consisted Of dan
eng, talking, laughing. eating and drink
ing. It might have been termed a Fancy
Ball, for persons were there, representing
all sorts Of characters. Among the
crowd, we noticed one dressed as a JUS
lice Of the Peace. in his Sunday-go-to-
nesting clothes one as carpenter and
Joiner another as his partner; several
- printers one as hotel keeper; one
ss bricklayer and plasterer several as
merchants clerks; 9 number as young
men holding presumption claims; and
many others. Among the ladies, we
noticed some dressed as married women;
come as single young ladies; one as a
lass some fourteen or fifteen years old ;
and one as little girl some seven or
eight years Of age. Tne cake was fur
nished by Mrs. Pierce, and the other re-
frsshmsnts. consisting Of candies, peaches,
cherries, figs, raisins. champagne, claret,
blackberry brandy, etc., by HOlbroOk &
Wakefield. The party broke up about
midnight, and all went home satisfied.
The Committee of Arrangements re-
quest rs to tender their thanks to those
present, for their attendance, and their
good behavior throughout.

iish' the famous Topeka Constitution, so
that our readers may have both sides Of

an effort will be made to have Kansas
admitted under the latter, but we fear
without success. The Constitution re-
Gently framed, does not meet the approx
al Of large portion of the Kansas De-
mocracy, wo are liberal in their denun-
Citations Of it. The Lecompton National
Democrat, the organ of Gov. Walker,
and the most moderate Democratic paper
in the Territory handles it very roughly.
We shall publish some extracts from its
columns hereafter From the course of
this paper, it may be inferred that Gov.
Walker is not satisfied with the docu-
ment. The opposition Of large portion
of the Democracy to it, leads to a slight
hope that Congress may reject it-but
the hope is very slight indeed.

The KIND OF MATERIAL THAT MADE
TIE CoSsTITUTIox.-One jenkins, of
Marshall County, q member of the late
Constitutional Convention, died of delir-
iUm trsmens, at Lecompton, on Wednes-
day, November 18th, not having been
able to get home. af.er the adjournment.
II was such stock that formed the Con-
stitution. and decided that the people of
Kansas shall be governed by it, whether
they are willing or not. If the members
Of the Convention are determined to
shuttle of with "snakes in their boots, "
it is pity they did not go before the day
of meeting arrived. They could then
have met elselshtre, and gotten up a
Constitution more acceptable to the in
habitants, Of the region in which they
were sojourning! But it seems little
hard, that the only man in the Conven-
ton who truly represented the political
views of majority Of the people of his
County, should be the first to die!

The SCARLET FEvsR.-Tho following
remedy for the scarlet fever is recommended
by DIR. Lindsey, Of Washington, as the treat
ment which has been resorted to with great
success by DR.. Schneeman, physician to the
King of Hanover
From the first day of the illness, and as
soon as we are certain Of its nature, the pa
tent must be rubbed morning and evening,
over the whole body with piece of bacon,
in such "A manner that, with the execution of
the head, covering of fat is everywhere ap-
pied. In order to make this rubbing in
somewhat easier it is best 10 take piece of
bacon the size of the hand, that we may
have firm grasp. On the soft side of this
piece Sits are to be made in order TO allow
the oozing out of the fat The rubbing
must be thoroughly performed and not too
quickly, in order that the skin may be reg
ularly saturated with the fat. The beneficial
results Of the application are soon obvious:
with a rapidity bordering on magic, all, even
the most painful symptoms of the disease
are allayed: quiet sleep, good humor, and the
appetite return, and there remains only the
impatience to quit the sick room.

YEARLY FooD FOR ONE aiAs.-From the
army and navy diet scales Of France and
England, which of course are based upon
the recognized necessities Of large numbers
of men in active life, il Is inferred that about
two and one.fourth pounds avoirdupois Of
dry food per day are required for each indi-
vdual; of this about three-fourths are veget-
able, and the rest animal. At the close Of an
entire year the amount is upwards of 800
lbs. Enumerating under the title of water
all the various drinks-coffee, tea, alcohol,
wine, &c.-its estimated quantity is about
1900 pounds per annnm. Tha: for the air
received by breathing may be taken at 800
pounds. With these figures before us, says
the Medical world, we are able to see how
the case stands. The food, water and air
which man receives amount in the aggre-
gate to more than 1900 pounds year--that
is. TO about ton and half, or more than
twenty times his weight. This enormous
quantity may we'll attract our attention to
the expenditure OF mH'sra required for sup
porting life. A living being is the result and
representation of change on a prodigious
scale.

gave the quietus TO the enormous humbug
that the late National Hotel at Washington
was the result of dastardly attempt to pois-
on Mr.. Buchanan. The sinking sewers,
venting their deadly exhalations into and all
over the house, will, or ought to account for
the malady and solve the mystery to the
satisfaction Of all sensible people. That
any human being could entertain such d.
abolical and venomous hatred of Mr.. Bsch-
anan as to risk his death by poison, involv.
ing the lives of hundreds of unoffending
people-men, women and children-passes
all bounds Of credulity.
