gs"A man reads newspaper with much greater satisfaction when he knows that it is paid for than when conscious of being somewhat in arrears. We have large number efsubscrbcrs scattered through the Western States sons of Litchfeld county.- many of whom we perceive by our books, are thus owing for the Enquirer, who do not remit, probably because they not advised of the state of tber . counts. To some such we have forwarded hills and small doubtless receive remittances of the amount due us forthwith by mail, with perhaps year s ad vance payment.

By late adyices from Fort Scott, it appears that the visit of Gov. Denver and Charles Robinson to that locality has resulted in restoring peace at least for the present. Gov. Denver called meeting ot the citizens of Fort Scott which was addressed by himself and Gov. Robinson. Gov. Denver said he had come as peace-maker, and proposed that by gones, should be bygones and all past ofenses left to the Grand Jury that all good citizens should re- ran from violence and assist in the enforcement of the laws that obnoxious officers, if reported to the Governor, would be removed so that others might be elected by the people. The plan met with gener- al approval. The Sheriff of the County was report ed as obnoxious, and was at once removed when the people elected T. R. Roberts, a FreeState man, in his stead The Governor announced that the United States troops would be removed from the Fort, and that he would commission company of 60 militia, under Major Weaver, FreeState man, to protect the settlers in the vicinity from maraudng Missourians.
 If Gov Denver is correctly reported in regard to the Fort Scott difficulties his action would seem to confirm the recent announcement that he intends to resign the Executive Chair it exhibits degree of fairness toward the settlers in Kansas that will not be tolerated at Washington.

EgN The Republican State Convention in New York is to be holden at Syracuse the Sth Septem ber for the nomination of Candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, The fact that the sala- ry of the Governor is entirely insufficient to meet the expenditures necessarily devolving on that off cer, renders the sfce undesirable one for men o limited means-Mr. Selden declining the nomina tion, it is supposed, on this account-Mr. Wads worth, of Geneseo, also declining, though from diff ferent reasons; and there seems yet to be nc man upon whom the Republican party seem to be uniting for their standard arer in the November election.

EFFECTS OF BAD LIQUOR Some young rioters at tackled the house of Elias Beeman in Kent one night last week, knocked in one of the doors, and broke several windows-all without any apparent object except to do mischief It is to be hoped that proper justice will be meted out to the offenders, some of whom, we understand, were identified as young men who will probably see the penitentiary or the halter ere long if they are not stopped in their careera

G5 The Editors wife desires us to state.- for the benefit of everybody's wife, that there is vastly easier and better way to do up' muslin curtains after washing, than ironing. Her way is, after starehing to spread the curtains upon the pets of an unoecupied room stretching and pinning them down at intervals of six or eight inches thus to remain until dry. The operation is much more expeditions and easy than that of ironing and the general verdict is that the curtain louks far better than when done up in the common way
 Wtnsted Herdh The idea that an Editors wife can have muslin curtains and carpeted spare rooms is rather funny Clark must have been fortunate in some other way than editing newspaper to afford such extrava- gances

During the crisis last fall, West & Caldwell, dry good dealers in New York, suspended, and were re- leased by their creditors on the payment of fifty cents the dollar. On the 1st of July every cred itor received the remainder of the balance due, amounting in the aggregate to S36, 900, not one cent of which were they under any legal obligation to pay. Such noble conduct this worthy of re- cord.

succeeded in retaining the services of MR..
SAML. MCCORMICK, whose proficienc,
in teaching is surpassed by few. YOUNG
men can be thoroughly prepared to enter
any of the higher institutions of learning
in the Southern States. The Village is
very healthy, and there is not, ut present :.
grog shop or place where ardent spirits can
be obtained in it.
Boarding can be obtained as cheap as at
other places in private families.
The rates of tuition arc the Same as
those in Academies throughout the State.
The Academy building is at present un-
dergolng thorough repairs.
The surrounding country will find here
advantages which will at least equal those
Of other places, and to our District are held
out such inducements as we believe will OBJ
