kASsAs.-The Lecompton correspondent of
the st. LOUIS Democrat says the apportionment
DISTINGUISHES one halt of Kansas. Only twenty
out of forty counties are represented. In some
counties where no census was taken the repre-
sentation is allowed on the list of voters on the
old election books. The other counties ap-
piled to Secretary Stanton for election pre-
cncts, and received the answer that he could
10 nothing, there being no law to supply the
omission. A card has been published, signed
by sixty-two prominent persons, urging the
Legislature to assemble on the 9th of June to
complete the State organization.

The CRoPs.-Wo made inquiry during the
past week of such persons from the country as
we happened to see, as to the condition of the
grain crops in this county. In some sections
the growing grain looks well and gives prom
Use of good yield; in others, the prospect is
rather unpromising. Upon the whole, howev-
or, we are led to believe that we may expect a
fair average yield, unless some unforeseen
cause to prevent it should intervene between
now and harvest.

THE comet has taken the back track. Mr..
Tuttle writes to the Newburyport Herald that
sit has already passed its periheion, and its
nearest approximation to the earth, and is now
receding from us at rapid rate, in its flight
through space, in its eccentric orbit and,
consequently, We need no longer be under
fears of its dashng against the earth. Its
nearest approach to the earth was on the Sth
of May, when it was twenty millions of miles
distant from us! Besides, this new comet,
having always returned to this part of its orbit
once in ten years, (the time of its ascertained
periodic revolution,) without impiEging a.
gainst us, there was no more valid reason for
fearing collision at this time than at any
other period since the whole system of plane
tary orbs was launched into space, each body
to move in harmony with every other, accord
ing to wise, established and unchanging laws. -

REMARKABLE CIRcUMsTASCE.-A circum-
stance of somewhat remarkable character re-
Gently occurred in one of the towns of one of
man died, and his wife and daughters, on the
third day after his decease, recollecting that
no likeness remained, it was agreed, ere the
grave closed over him, that the body should be
unshrouded, and portrait taken. A young
lady of some professional celebrity was enga-
ged for the task. She, with the assistance of
an attendant, took off the shroud and placed
the body in the requisite posture; but other
duties requiring the artists attention, the
sketch was deferred till noon. About twelve
O'Clock, at the foot of the bed the lady com.
menced, and went through with an hours
work on this image of death. At this stage of
the proceedings, by some unaccountable mo-
tion, the head of the death-like figure fell on
the side. Nothing dauntcd, the artist careful
iy took the head to replace it, when 10 the
eyes opened, and staring her full in the face,
sstbe dead'' inquired, ssWho are you 20 The
s'young professionals without trepidation,
took the bandage from his head, and rubbed
his neck. He Immediately saw the shroud,
and laughed imuioderately. The artist quiet
ly called the family their joy may be imagn-
ed, but cannot be described. That evening,
he who had been bemoaned by mother aud
daughters with agonized tears, gladdenod their
hearts by taking his accustomed place at the
tea-tablc, and at this moment is making an ex-
cursion in North Whales Bedford England

THE TsMANsS JOURNAL,

~ Emigration is pouring into Kansas from
all quarters. The roads are white with long
lines of covered wagons on their way to Law
renee.
GgThe latest advces from Europe state
that the growing grain in Great Britain and on
the Continent, presents highly promising
appearance.
GyThe late Legislature of Nebraska re-
pealcd the entire criminal code of that ter
ritory. No law is now recognized there but
that which is dispensed by Judge Lynch.
Gy-The rage for elopement has become so
strong in the West that an Irishman in the
Poor House at Detroit has away with one
of the pauper girls in the same establishment.
The officers do not appear to have made any
pursuit.
DThere were, it is stated, on the first day
of June, masses of frozen spray and snow, fifty
feet in solid thickness, under the American
side of the Falls of Niagara. a heavy rock
thrown upon it makes no moro impression
than upon hard ice.
UThe number of emigrants arriving at
New York last week was 1900. For the
month of May the number is 81 900, and for the
year "a 200, against 81 900, to same date last
year. The emigration from Europe fell off
very heavily in 1855 and 1856, but, from pres
ent appearances, will this year regain its for
mer activity.
DgThe Chicago Journal, after careful re-
view of the statements from the grain growing
regions of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin,
concludes that there is promise of more a
bundant harvest this year than ever before.
Even in regions where the winter was sup
posed to have done its worst, .hc apparently
dead wheat is in many instances reviving,
while the greater breadths sown, will so near
ly compensate for the injury done, as to give
in the aggregate, crop quite as large as In
the same territory last year.

ROOSTER EATING SHOE PEGs.-A few days
since. lad in the south part of town, dropped
a handful of shoe pegs. A shanghai rooster
that was lettering about, Immediately went to
work and eat them up as greedily as if they
had been so many oats. The query is to know
whether chanticlccr relshed them as pegs,
calculating to 'sset up shop'' for him
self. or whether in his haste he eat them in
mistake for oats. In either event, we have no
doubt that his craw was considerably astonish-
ed at being converted into receptacle of
beech wood.
