Found DEAD IN THE FIEID.-On Mon
day the 10th ult., the body Of a travelling
root Doctor by the name ofRoby, well known
in several towns in this State and New Hamp-
shire, was found in field beside the fence,
near an unireQuented road leading from the
main road, midway between the upper and
lower villages in Strafford, under the follow
ing circums tances On the 9th of Novem-
Der last the deceased called at two or three
houses in that vicinity late in the evening,
but being somewhat intoxicated and abusive,
no one seemed willing to entertain him for
the night, which proved cold and stormy A
day or two afterwards his hat was found and
identified but no search was made. IL an
pears that he had wandered from the main
road to the place above stated, whom he uer-
ished from drunkenness and exposure. A
few rods from him his mi.tens were found, and
also bottle containing a small quantity OF
spirituous liquor and upon him was found q
watch and small sum Of money.
The deceased, who was some 65 years o
age, was once a merchant and man of re-
spectablity and influence. but at length be-
coming incorporate, he has for several wears
past wandered back and forth through certain
towns in Vermont and New Hampshire under
the pretenoe of curing diseases, and under
magic influence to the sweet appotree. has
also pretended to point out places where
springs of running water might readily b,
found. 1t is somewhat remarkable that he
should have lain for nearly five months with
in forty rods of the dwelling house of IN,

LAWRENCE, Kansas,
Saturday, May /, 1853
The present convention was called to select
candidates for the State Offices under the now
(Leavenworth) constitution. the candidates to
be voted for simultaneously with the submits
sion of the new constitution to the people on
the third Tuesday in May Under the call.
two United States Senators were also TO be
informally voted for, as indicative of the
wishes of the people in that particular. The
convention consisted Of ono hundred mem
bors. When it assembled yesterday morn.
ing. upwards Of ninety reported themselves in
attendance.
At 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. the
convention organized temporarily by selecting
B. b. Newton as Chairman and S. f. Tappan
as Secretary
After the appointment OF Committees on
Credentials and Permanent Organization, the
convention took a recess until Z. NJ.
MEETING or SQUArTERs. - Immediately
after the recess Of the Convention. meeting
of "Squattcrs' actual settlers on the land)
was held in the same hall. 1t was organized
by calling Col. c. X. Holiday, Of Topeka, to
the Chair
The subject under consideration was the
recent proclamation of the President ordering
the sale during the month Of July Of all the
hitherto unoiiercd public lands in hundred
and soyenty-nino townships Of the Territory.
These lands comprise some Of the best lands
in the Territory, both as regards situation
and quality. Putting them in the market at
this time is really an act Of gross injustice TO
the actual settlers. Under the regulations Of
the sale, all who hold emption claims up
ON these lands are compelled to make pay
ment for the same before the first day of the
sales, or their claims will be forfeited
The injustice Of the transaction is increased
by the fact that the Federal Government now
owes in Northern Kansas alone more than one
million dollars. The impossibility Of obtain
ing this money is one prime cause Of the pres
cnt depression here in financial matters.
The subject was discussed in the squatters'
meeting by persons from all parts Of the Ter
ritory. Tho prevailing sentiment seemed TO
be that as a last resort the squattors would
be justified in appearing on the ground at the
time Of the sales with their rcyol,crs and
Sharpe's rifles, and offering armed and organ
lied resistance so formidable as to prevent
spectators from bidding ON lands occupied
by actual settlers.
