KANsAs.-The Kansas correspondent Of the
n. Y. Herald states that the only business which
is at all brisk in Kansas at IS time is horse steal
ing. 1t appears that thc free State men in the
ncighbofhood of Lawrence are becoming much
cnamored Of free horses free niggers. y rever-
end political parson, r5sdent CT Doug lis county,
who commands company Of horse thieves
breaches on Sundays and steals horses on week
days, has been arrested for stealing number of
horses from a pro-sla, cry man. If his reverence
can secure a free soil jury, he need not concern
himself about the result, for it will be easy to show
that Southern man has 10 more right Of property
i'll horse than in negro and that fine horse is
aTeculiarly Southern institution, and therefore
titled to the benefit OF the underground railroad

DESTRUCTIVE Hail SToRM.-One of the most
frightful and disastrous hail storms that has ever
been known in the West, visited the town of
Dwight i'll Livingston county, Illinois, on the line
Of the St Louis, Alton & Chicago Railroad, last
Saturday. The facts scarcely credible, but arc
vouchcd for by the Chicago Journal, as follows:
The hail stones were Ike cut ice, and some of
them seven inches in diameter. They fell in per-
feet torrents, striking down cattle, men, shrubbery
and crops if beaten down by shower of stones.
Thousands Of acres of corn cut down as if by
reapers, and rendered total loss to the farmers
Orchards were stripped, and gardens and oat and
wheat fields beaten to the earth. Window sashes
and roofs were also in many cases badly cut and
split The cattle that happened to be in the fields at
the time had gashes cut into their flesh inches in
length, and one man so badly cut and bruised
by the heavy hail stones that he is not expected to
live After the storm, the earth was completely
covered with hail inches i'll depth.

The average number of deaths per annun, in
certain places where records are kept is about one

the number of deaths in a year would be about

ATTEMPT TO MURDER AN OLD LADY.-On
Monday I'd, Mrs Magarct Frecland, aged seventy
eight years. who lived alone on the farm Of Miss
Nancy Allison, distance few hundred yards from
the residence Of the latter, six miles from States
vile, on the bethany road, was found in dying
condition, with her throat cut, but not scveriny
the jugulars, nose mashed in, eyes torn out, and
horrible cash on the chin. She was speeches.
and could give no account of her murderer, but
the inference was that it had been done on the
Thursday night previous and that Mrs +. had re-
manned i'll her horrd condition and suffering until
found. Suspicion fell upon a negro boy, belonging
to Mrs Allison, who shortly afterward had pre-
scented a five dollar note to Il ncIghbor to ascer-
c,in its denomination, and stated that it was given
him. He was arrested, and at first denied having
any knowledge of the decd but has since confessed
himself the perpetrator of the awful crime and told
where the weapon might be found with which he
committed the foul act, which is very heavy I'M
seasoned stick, and one end of it was quantity
of blood and hair. The boy has been lodged in
jail at this place. 1t is impossible that Mrs Free
land can survive-StotcsrjUe Express.

DESTROYING EIGHTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
TO SPITE HIS SON-A correspondent of the
London Times relates the following story-if story
it is-locating the parties in Vienna. Strange
things happen frequently in the ''old country:
A few days ago Baron Silborstcin died here,
and after his death no money was found in his
house, though he had always passed for wealthy
bankruptcies made by his heir, and on it's
Icing discovered that banker had paid into his
hands the sum of 10000 forms but few days
before his death, his valet was arrested by
policeman on suspicion of having made way with
the moncy.-As the man said that his master left
mis- bed couple of days before he died, in order
to burn some papers in the stove, the bed room
was searched. Nothing but the remains Of
documents were found, and the servant was kept
in custody until it occurred to some one that it
might be as well to examine the other stoves The
examination was made and the numerous remains
of bank notes of 1000 forns EACH proved the
innocence of the valet and dcstructiveness of his
master. The Baron, who was divorced from his
wife, often expressed doubts about the legitimacy
of his only son, and in order that he should profit
as little possible by his death, he burned bank
notes to the value of 10000 forms (e16,00O)
When the door of the stove opened, the WORD
fthousand' was distinctly visible on many of the
consumed notes, which, Of course, fell to pieces
when touched
