! KANzAs ITEMs-Marcus J. Parrott, the
| delegate to Congress from Kanzas, was
warmly received on his return to Lawrence,
last week. A procession of the Dread guards
and large number of mounted citizens es-
corted him into town, and in reply to an ad
dress of welcome, he said among other things,
that he needed only his experience in Wash
ington to learn that the only real friends of
Kanzas were the Republicans-not the demo-
Gratis Mr.. Parrots course in Congress has
given satisfaction, and he is just now the most
popular man in Kanzas. Parrot, Lane, and
others were about to take the stump against
the English bill.
There was quite fugitive slave excitement
at Lawrence recently. A Shareholder from
Missouri came over to look for one of his fugi-
tive chattels, and being rather impudent. the
people would have cooled him in the Kaw
river, but he concluded to give up the pursuit
and return home. the same evening six
negroes LETT Lawrence on their way towards
the North star. 1t is stated that as many as
eight or ten passengers on the underground
railroad pass Lawrence every week.
Property at Leavenworth and most of the
hanzas towns has deprecated from 25 to SO
per cent within six months, and it is now d
good time to buy.
Certain border ruffan democrats have re.
Gently contracted with the government to de-
liver 1000 tons Of hay at Leavenworth at
fifteen dollars per ton. They purchase at five
dollars per ton thus making $40, 900 by the
operation. The government pays $50 900 for
what is worth only 500, 600. and could be
purchased for that. The difference goes to
cancel the obligations of slavery to the border
ruthans OF kanzas.

HARVARD CoLBEeE.-The Phi Beta Kappa
Society of Harvard University celebrated its an
niversary on Thursday, when the Grafton was de-
livered in the church, il the forenoon, by Rev.
Thomas Hill Of Waltham. AT the business
meeting previously held in the lecture room of
Harvard Hall, the old board of officers was re-
elected, of which Prot. C. C. FELTON, is President,
and Rev. DIR Osgood of New York, Vice President.
At the conclusion of the grafton, about one hun
dred and fifty brethren of the fraternity sat down

sons, Rev. Thomas Hill, DR.. Peter Parker, Qate

BROoKFIELD-We publish, this morning, a
communication from Hon. Amasa Walker, in re.
lation to certain localities and their ancient
names in the old town of Brookfeld. We were
led perusa of it, to look into the account CIV
en- Of that town, in Rev. Peter Whtney's "Histo.
ry of Worcester County" That work was pub
lished in l793-before the birth of Mr.. Walker,
and, in that, find the river passing through
the town uniformly spoken of "Quaboag Riv.
en-" without any intimation of its ever having
any other name. of ponds it says:
There is one large pond in the South precint,
Of the extent of mile square, called by the In
dams Quaboag Pond but now more generally
denominated Podunk Pond, from a tract of
meadow adjoining, which the Indians called Po-
dunk"
This seems to correspond with the views Of
our correspondent, so far as the name of the pond
is concerned. In speaking of "Wickaboag"
Pond, Whitney says;
"rhis pond is supplied by several riVulets, and
has one large outlet into the riUer, about twenty
or thirty rods in length, called LashGsoay."
From this. we infer that the name, "Lasha.
way. applied only to the short outlet from the
"Wickaboag' to "Quaboag" River. Our cores
pondent will see whether this supposition can be
reconciled To the other facts in the case.

ANTHONY BURNs.-The Southern papers, to
throw diseredit on the cause Of emancipation, are
publishing the tale concocted by some border
rufian press at the North, concerning Anthony
Burns who was taken out of Boston by whole
division of the State troops and marshal's pos
sc, comprising the bullies Of nearly every house
Of III fame in Boston, and large share Of the
blaeklegs, at the public expense, to " saUe the
Union" The story is that Burns, purchased
from his master and set free, is now in the State
Prison for robbing. This is entirely untrue, .
he is worthy student Of theology at oberlin
College, Ohio. His conduct ever since his lber.
alton has been highly eredtable to him.

SABBATH SCHOOL ExcURsIoN.-The excursion
Of the Methodist Sabbath Schools and their friend
to Sterling. on Wednesday last, was very pleas
ant and successful affair.
The company from this city, about four
hundred in number, met at the Sterling
camp ground, by about seventeen hundred from
Nashua, n. H., and several smaller delegations
from other places, making in all about twenty
five hundred. After the bountiiul dinner which
the careful mothers had provided, was disposed
of, few hours were spent In playing ball, sing
ing, and other amusements, when the company
assembled at the stand, where they were enter
tanned by singing. and music by the Nashua
Cornet Band. Brief and appropriate addresses
were also made by Rev. Messrs. Kelley and
Field and B. NJ Smith, Esq. of this city, and
Daniel Dodge, Esq, of Nashua The day was
one OF the finest of the season the camp ground
is just the place for such gathering, and every
body had good time. Much credit is due to
G. W. Bentley Esq, Superintendent of the Wor-
cester anc Nashua Railroad, and to the employees
of that road, for having 30 safely and promptly
conveyed these large companies to and from the
grounds Mr.. Bentley is not only a careful man.
but very kind and obiigng, evidently wishing to
do all in his power to add to the comfort and
happiness of the patrons of his road. We hope
there may be many more such excursions to the
Sterling Camp Ground, and that we may be
there to take notes.

REVENGE OF GIRL UPON A GAY DE-
cElyER.-An Irish dandy, named James Mar
tin, has been for few months past paving
attentions to Mary Sheridan, a chambermaid
at the City Hotel in Hartford. Recently, the
girl has discovered that his intentions were not
honorable and says he has repeatedly insult
ed her, for which she determined upon VEN
geance. On Wednesday forenoon, as Mar
tin was passing the hotel, Mary beckoned
him from the chamber window to come up,
and he, thinking she had reented, went in,
and Mary came to him, laid her arm upon
his shoulder, and taking hold of his cravat,
asked him why he wore his handkerchief so
close about his neck in warm weather. Its
not too close said James. " 1t u.s." said
Mary, and loosened it. "Now," says Mary,
"what did YOU give me to coax me-" Moth
ing, says James. ''Take that" says Mary,
and at the same time drew u razor across the
throat of Mr.. Martin.
James tore himself away from the affection
ate Mary, and went to DR.. Ellsworth S to get
his wounds dressed. Mary was arrested in
the afternoon. She admitted giving him the
wound, and says she meant to "nick him a
bit by way of PREPARATION of her wrongs
The cut was between three and four inches
long, and upon the right side of Mr.. Martin
throat. 1t was almost deep enough to cause
death, from which his escape was very mar
row.

PorlrloA1.-A Pennsylvania correspondent Q

PoLITIcAL.-A Pennsylvania correspondent o
the New York Tribune says;
"From all present indications the State vii
elect at least eighteen opposition members to this
House, leaving six Of the Democracy TO condole
with each other and do the dity work OF the
slavedrivers Buchanan's organ at Harrisburg
announces that all the Lecompton men must De
renominated. Be it so-ws want no better is
sue"
The Philadelphia Inquirer says that the recent
nominations of the Peoples party have been re-
ceived with general satisfaction, and thinks that
the mai ority in favor of the ticket will go beyond
ten thousand.
The Missouri Republican finds fault with
Turner'S of Cincinnati for having formally resolv-
ed that it is the duty of that organization to vote
with the Republicans.
The Senate of illinois consists of twenty five
members, elected biennally for four years, and of
the twelve whose terms expire this year, six are
Republicans, FIVE are Democrats, and one is an
American. 1t will be necessary for the Republic
cans to choose nine senators this Fall in order to
control the upper branch of the Legislature.
One of the most curious concomitauts of the
Illinois struggle is the sympathy rendered to Mr..
Douglas by some of the Southern extremists.
Thus the New Orleans Delta, hitherto regarded
as disunon organ, comes out in his favor, be-
cause the commercial and political interests OF
the West and South are believed to be identical
Truly, the old parties are disorganized.
The Chicago Tribune says of Indiana politics:
s' The Anti Lesompton Democrats of Indiana,
unlike those Of Illinois, uniting with the Re-
publicans Of that State in one grand phalanx to
overthrow the pro.slavery party, led on by En-
Rlish, Foley, Niblsck, Hughes, Gregg, Fitch,
and Bright. The present prospect is that clean
opposition delegation will be elected to Congress
THAT not one of the traitors will escape the
doom they so richly deserve"
The Louisville (Ky.) Journal in reply to the
Charleston Mercury, which said that I" if the re-
cent meetings for the reception of Senator Crit
tenden in Kentucky are the reflex of the feelings
or opinions of the people of that State, she may
as we'll be stricken from the roll oil Southern
States" says:
''We tell the Mercury and its friends that they
cannot, by what they call striking Kentucky
from the roll of Southern States change either
her latitude or her institutions. Here she
stands; and, if any of the 6re-eating States at
tempt to escape from the Union, she will throw
a hempen lssso about their necks."

CRlNoLINE. = The greatest crinoline in

II is, we should say, the biggest hoop of a

the waist, sticks out prodigiously. 1t looks

The wearer Of this immense establishment

DANGEROUS PLAYA little boy, living in
town near Boston, say, at school, the trick of
children, where one says to another open
your mouth and shut your eyes, and I'll give
you something to make you wise" We
presume that the boy in question will have
wisdom enough not to be caught in the trap
again. In this case the lad opened his mouth,
and another boy threw kernel of corn into
1t with such force that it entered the wind
pipe, and, but for the timely aid of a surgeon,
who opened the throat and extracted the corn
he would have died.
