ossss Hedge.

The cultivation of the Usage Orange
plant for hedges, as substitute for fencing.
is beginning to attract considerable atteh-
ton amongst the farmers of this neigbbor-
hood The experience of the Western States
generally in regard to the Usage plant has
been unfavorable, but it is believed by those
best qualified to judge, that the Kanzas eli
mate is peculiarly adapted to its successful
growth, on account of the length of the
summer season, giving the wood sufficient
time to harden before the appearance of cold
weather, and also on account of the remark
able miIdness of our winters. The scarcity
of timber is not as yet felt in this portion of
Kanzas, and may not be for great many
years. But if the Usage plant can be culti-
vated successfully, a cheaper. better and
more lasting fence can be made with it than
in any other manner.
It is too late to plant hedge this season,
but it viii soon be time to commence pre-
pairing the ground for another season. The
ground should be plowed during the COM
ing summer where it is designed to plant
the hedge, at least one rod in width early
next spring it should be plowed again deep,
and dragged well SO as to thoroughly pull
verize the soiI;I the seed should then be
planted about the last of April or first OF
May. The better plan is to plant the seed
where the hedge is wanted. and not plant
to transplant. We hope all that team will set
out small portion of hedge at least, anoth-
er year. We want the timber of our for
ests for building, furniture, etc., and must
begin to economize.

New Towns.

I "A new town has been recently laid out ON
the Yerdigris. in Madison county, about
twenty miles south Of Emporia, called Mad
ison Center. The town of Hesperia was
laid out near the same place, but owing to
negligence on the part of the proprietors,
nothing was ever done on the site, and it
has now been taken as farm claim. After
the failure of Hesperia the citizens In the
neighborhood determined to take the matter
in their own hands, feeling as they did
that their own interests we're at stake, and
that the best interests of the surrounding
country demanded that . town should be
built immediately. They accordingly laid
ont MADISON CEHTKR-so called because it
is situated very nearly in the geographical
center of the county. The proprietors, we
are reliably informed. are energetic go-ahead
men, with suficiency of capital to carry
on Improvements. This is all that win be
needed. as the point selected is good nat
ural location, and the surrounding country
viii support good town. The settlers are
industrious, thriving people, who viii do
credit to any country; in fact, few better
neighborhoods can be found in Kanzas than
that Immediately around the new town of
Madison Center.
The proprietors of PLTHoUrH, new
town on the Cottonwood, about eight miles
west of Emporia, have recently been ma
king some additions to their company, and
are now prepared to go to work to improve
their town. A Post Office has been estab-
lished at the place. and new store is al
most daily expected. The proprietors are
generally men of energy, in whom the peo-
ole have confidence.

Sugar Cane.


Considerable attention is being paid this
season to the cultivation of the Sorghum, or
Chinese Sugar Cane, in this neighborhood
Most of those who experimented with it
last year became fully satisfied of its entire
adsptability to this climate. and of its profit
abaeness as crop; and if machines for
crushing it could easily be obtained, no doubt
nearly every farmer in the Neosho Valley
would have planted at least enough to make
his own sugar and syrup from. We feel
confident that ere another year rolls round it
will entirely supplant the sale of Southern
sugar and syrup in this part of Kanzas.-
Mr.. Davis. living on Dow Greek, four miles
north of Emporia, is planting seven acres,
and Mr. Miller, living close by has planted
Eve acres Both these gentlemen win erect
stationary mills for their own use. Should
the season be favorable, the profits of these
crops viii be large. We regard the success
of the Sorghum as fired, and it can in fu-
ture be regarded as one of the staples of
Kansas. -

A Celebration.

"Shall the coming Fourth of July be eel
ebrated in Emporia ?" has been mooted
question for the past few days. Nothing
definite has as yet been determined upon.
We do not doubt that if our citizens would
"put their shoulders to the wheel'' cred
table celebration" could be gotten up
The settlers would enter into it with zest,
and it would no doubt be productive of
much good. The expenses need not be
heavy, as dinner for the occasion could be
gotten up by contributions of provisions al
ready cooked, amongst the citizens of the
immediate neighborhood. Good speakers
could easily be procured for the occasion,
and ''good time" generally could be had.
In case general celebration" is notagreed
upon, it has been suggested that a celebra-
ton by the Sabbath schools of the vicinity,
and persons Immediately interested in edu-
cational matters, could be easily gotten up.
We should favor first general celebration.
with good speaking and good old-fashion-
ed barbecue; but if such an one cannot be
agreed upon We should certainly be in favor
of the latter. We must have celebration
of some kind, and to "set the ball in motion"
We suggest that meeting be held in En-
poris, ON Saturday next, the 29th inst, to
take the matter into consideration and ar
range the preliminaries. Turn out! Let
US all get together once and have good
time. We want to see all the pretty women,
all the big babies, all the married men, and
last but not least by any means, all the bach
elors of this section of country together, on
the Fourth of July, 1858. Who seconds

1t is no doubt convenient to have neigh

doubtless convenient not to return borrowed

The Killing of Mr.. Dempsey.

Our readers doubtless remember para
graph which we published in our issue of
week before last in regard to the death of
Mr.. James Dempsey. On Thursday. the
18th inst, Sheriff Goddard arrested the boy
who struck Mr.. Dempsey the blow which
probably caused his death. The name of
the boy is Altamont Forward, and he is
about seventeen years of age. ltappears that
Mr.. Dempsey came TO the house of
Mr.. MeCuckell, Ia brother-in-law of the
boy), and attempted to obtain admittance,
Mr.. McCuckell being absent at the time
Mrs. McCuckell was sick, and there were
present besides herself, girl and the boy
Altamont. Mr.. Dempsey was refused ad-
mission. and made sundry threats of killing,
etc., which frightened the women. The
boy was outside at the time, and one of the
women called to him. He came toward the
house when Mr.. Dempsey took off his coat
and went to meet him, being in state of
intoxication. The boy seized club and
advanced as if to strike. Thus far the girl
was witness to the proceedings; before
the boy struck Mr.. Dempsey she says her
attention was Withdrawn. There was there
fore no witness to the blow, but the boy
himself, who denies striking with the club,
but confesses to striking Mr.. D. with his
fist, SO as to knock him down This took
place about one hour before dark. How
long Mr.. Dempsey lay where he was knock
ed down is not known. The persons in the
house testify that they heard Mr.. Dempsey,
during the evening, shouting at short dis
lance from the house. The Indians who
were camped a short distance from the house
also heard him about dark. The boy was
axamined before Justice Espy of Wise
county, and bound over in the sum of FIVE
hundred dollars, to appear and answer at
the next term of the Probate Court.
