Sonar TO SEE 1--WE venerate and
respect the name of Edward Everett, and
are in almost all respects subscriber to
his creed Of politics. But, much as we
esteem his conservatism, we are very sor-
ry to see that he has suffered his letter
about the Sumner testimonial to come
before the public 1t can do no good
it only aids and abets the friends Of the
late 6re-eating Brooks. It seems to US as il
IF we had been born Boston man-we

HARD TMEs.-The Herald of Freedom
lately contained an article in regard to the
extremely hard times in Kansas. For
this it has been pounced upon by certain
papers in the Territory, which make it a
point to abuse the Herald for every arti-
Gle that appears in its columns, no matter
upon what subject. They accuse Brown
of attempting. by every means in his
power, to injure Kansas, and keep emf
grants away, and assert that the times are
not hard in the Territory. When Brown
is wrong, be is no better than any other
man in the wrong but when he tells a
truth that is plain to every inhabitant Of
Kansas, why this indiscriminate abuse Of
him. merely because he is Brown ? Times
are hard in every part of Kansas-in fact,
it would be extremely hard for them to be
harder and there does not appear to be
much prospect of their getting easier soon.
Money is very scarce. and no real estate
viii bring near half its value. Which is
the better way-to tell people the plain
truth, or to deceive them into coming here,
and give them worse opinion than ever
of Kansas? There is plenty of room
here, and persons can make out to live /;
but if any one comes with the expectation
of finding flush times, he is doomed to
disappointment.

NOCTURNAL ANUsEMEST.-On Satur-
day morning last, a short time before
daylight, we were awakened by one of
the inferRalest noises we ever heard. 1t
was near by, and we soon discovered that
it was produced by OhGrivari party, or
"Shivaree," as they called it, paying
their respects to a couple who had recent
ly been married, and had taken up lodg
ings at the Spaulding House. Upon
going out, we discovered party Of
"young youths" a majority of whom
had a cow-bell in each hand, rafting
away with all their might; and the bal
ance were engaged in discoursing music
upon an instrument known as a "horse
fiddle" This primitive musical wonder
consists simply of a pine goods box and
large scantling. The scantling is well
rosined, and persons get at each end Of
it, and draw it across the box, first upon
one corner and then upon the other. The
noise does not resemble anything on
earth, in the air, or under ground, but q
little of all the outlsndish noises eombin-
ed. This noise had started all the dogs,
cows and bulls in town. which could be
heard in every direction; and altogether,
Pandemonium was thrown completely
into the shaded AT dawn of day the
boys evaporated, and gave dogs, cows,
bulls and people chance to take a short
nap before breakfast time. We believe,
in the course of the proceedings, they
found their way into the room of the
couple for whose benefit they were exer-
cising. but the occupants had taken ref
uge in another part of the house.

THE CONSEQUENCE.


SoRTER, AND SoRTER NoT.-The Prai-
rie City Champion, in an article favoring
the organization of the Republican party,
and classifying the press of Kansas, says
of us:
"The White Cloud Chief. edited by
Sol. Miller, is also in opposition to the
movement. Sol. is an able fellow. pos
sessing keen and cutting sarcastic wit,
which viii make him feared. He is
tinctured strongly with Americanism,
and more than all, likes to be considered
eccentric. He is an off OK win turn
up right some day."
And again it says:
awe said our say in regard to Sol.
Miller and the Chief We believe Sol.
to be honest, and trust that he will see
the error of his way, and yet be a good
Republican"
While we thank the Champion for the
compliment it pays US, we must correct
one Of its statements. We generally say
what we think, and may have some odd
notions, and express our sentiments in an
out of-the-way manner; but we have ne
yer had any ambition to be considered
eccentric-on the contrary, we do not
wish to be so consideration we have
always attached about one and the same
meaning to eccentric and half-crazy.
When we hear of person being eccen-
trio, we generally set him down as being
"half-cracked," at least upon some sub
jects. If any persons consider us so, we
assure them it is not our desire that they
should.
When the editor Of the Champion says
he believes we will come out right, we
agree with him heartily; but we are not
so certain about our becoming good
Republican-althodgh there is no telling
what may happen. We have seen so
many undreamt-of occurrences, that even
such thing, improbable as it seems,
might happen. At present we claim to
be only bloody Know Nothing" but
have sent in our petition to be a charter
member of the great Union Party that is
being formed. However, we have found
that one may be good Free State man,
and not Republican. But on one thing
the Champion may bet-a will never
find us in the ranks Of the party called
Democratic. We have always religious
ly avoided it; and if we should ever be
so unfortunate as to die, (which we would
like to escape, some such epitaph as this
would suit us:
"In memory of one who never in his
life voted for Democrat, from President
down to Dog-Pelter; consequently he has
gone above. where Modern Democracy
cannot enter"

Missouri ELEcroN.-The election IL
Missouri, for Congressman and members
Of the Legislature, came of on Monday.
In the District over the River, Craig
is probably reelected to Congress. Hol
gives him only 80 majority; Buchanan
gives him about 400, and Andrew about
800.
Col. John Scott, American, is elected
to the Senate from Buchanan and Gen,

favor Of his opponent, are said to have
done the business. We believe "Coun-
tryman" clearly established the fact, thai
Corby was the father of George Wash.

Independence, and the inventor of De.

Prince L. Hudgens is elected Represen-

from Holt, and Stuckey is beaten fol
Constable. Poor Judge Epperson will
have to postpone the repeal of the White

In this County, as far as heard from,
there is a majority of 97s against the

against Lecompton will be at least 500,

In Brown County, Hiawatha precinct

BREAKSG Or DoGGRRY.-A rather
summary mode of drying up" Dog
gerry was exhibited in this place, on Tues
day night. Several weeks since, the cit
zens held a meeting, and ordered the liq-
nor sellers to stop the business, or they'd
be stopped. The order was laughed at,
and the affair was fizEle. This embold-
ened the liquor sellers. and they carried
on stronger than ever. Drunkenness and
earOusing were kept up day and night,
Sundays and week days. to the great an
noyAnce Of all respectable citizens. The

there was hasty scampering of half a
dozen inmates, who ha6 been engaged in
gambling. The attack was intrepid, and
the work quickly done The siding was
torn from the house, and a rope placed
around the frame, and the whole thing
dragged to the ground. 1t is said that
the smashing of glass and China ware
was tremendous. The house was COM
pletely torn to pieces, and the lumber
literally made into kindling wood. The
barrels were then rolled out and the heads
knocked in, and the liquor poured on the
ground. The following morning, scene
of destruction and devastation presented
