The cvcnt.ul evening Of Dec. 3lst which had
b'cn impaticntly waited for by largo portion
of our citizens. arrived in due time and brought
with it one Of the most agreeable aud interest
ing asscmblages it has ever been our fortune to
witness. The management was in the hands
Of tie Germans Of McGregor and vicinity. but
with kind, css which is charac: cristic Of that
pcorlc every where, the Hall was often libcr-
ally surrendered to the Americans present for
the indulgence of their peculiar mode of "trip
ping the light fantastic toe The Germans are
not partial to Cotiilions and sour folks arc
partial to scarcely any thing else Whether
the dancing was well or i'll done VIC cannot
judge those who dccidc such points assure rs
that the Music was cnrapturing and that the
Polkas, Waltzcs. schottishc, Gallopadcs, &C.,
&c, were faultlcss in execution. We managed
to get most liberal share Of human comfort
tut Of tho proceedings, and if loud expr: ssions
Of applause in the Hall or equally significant
expressions of qualification throughout the
town may be regarded, it will be safe to say
that MEG REGon, OH New Years Eve. was as
harry as it possibly could be had the Millennium
itself arrived. The party was large, the dress
es were got up in excellent taste and many Of
them quite expensive. The whole appearance
were European character that rendered it ex
trcmely Interesting to such Of the company as
had not before witnessed any rcprescntaton o
the lini. To Messrs. WALTER & BRo tho
enter. rising Young German Painters of thi,
place, may justly be attributed in great mca
sure the creditable exhibition with which the
public were favored. Onr indi, idual duties
were somewhat numerous on that night and we
did not attempt to note the characters rprcs, mt.

The Maslued Ladies were costumcd in the
styles Of central and southern Europe there
were bellies from Spain, Switzerland, The
Tyrol, Austria. Bohemia, France, Germany and
Turkey, and the scene almost caused the spec
tator to imagine himself in one Of those old
baronial castles of which we have all read SO
much in "auld lang syne.'
We must not omit to state that German re :
tired actor named BE;k was present, and that
at the request of the audience he repeated in
excellent style some most eloquent passages
from Ko:zebucs Play of "The Stranger"

b. A. Kingsley Of Pleasant Ridge informs us
that mon calling himself Joseph Kcndrick
came to the house Of Samu' rhilirs Of Pleas
ant Ridge, few evenings since, and asked to
say all night-he was almost without clothes
and the picture Of distress. Philips lives alone
and Of course h. took the stranger in. In a
short time X. begin to behave strangely and
Philips lift the house and went to ncglbors.
and some Tiers, hut found the horse vacated.
BY the heavy frost on the ground they tracked
him through The hazel brush, forward and back,
crossways and otherwise, many miles until at
length thy :ounl him in the road but a short
distance fom Phillips louise. He had lcfl his
old worn out shoes at Philips, and being bare
footed he WAS tracked by the blood. He lad
run through the brush sometimes and then fol
lowol lis own tr ok back rs though escaping
from ursuit. When fornd he was dressed only
in shirt and pants-hc was nearly frozen, feet
all bloody and laccrated, and his mind in a
| high state Of excitement. Mr.. Kingsley took
| him to his house where he vet remains, and
mini.tcred to his comfrt. He is sane most oil
tho time. He says that a murder was com.
tied near Lansing shot time since and
that they charged him with it. Io pleads in.
nocencc. but he has been ursucd so long thai
it has dc:anged lin. He saw several men af
ter him wli.c he wis running through thu
brush. The poor fellows condition is itiable
and Mr.. Kingsley is entitled to great credit fo
the Samar;tan-like interest he has taken in thi.
unhappy stranger.
As no rpot has reached Us Of any recent
| murder near lansing We conclude that Ken
dri.k has become insane, wandered from home
lost all his clothes racing through the brush
and tina; his friends arc r badly not far dis

years of age. Our exchanges in Iowa and
Minnesota my 90 the poor fellow kindness

INSANITY and frost drove him to the settlements

numbering Titles of Rochester has part
ly confessed the crime. His mother
told some events he had related to her
and he seems disposed to tell the whole.
1t is believed that Mrs. Titles is his
wife and not his sister. Ira was once
sent to the Penitentiary and his wife as
Mss Stout married Titles during her
husbands incarceration. Upon the re-
lease of the latter, he came home and it
is supposed that Little's jealousy of the

for information as TO tho motive of the South.

"Orr guide in viewing this whole question,
we desire to intern our Northern contemporary
is strict and faithful adherence t. the principle
of the Kansas-Netraska act-the freedom of the
people Of the 1erritori>s to form and regulate their
domestic Institutions in their o,cn ,cay-tl,rorgh
the medium of a Convention delegated by them
for the purpose, or by the whole people them
selves in council, # they should choose Mat ,cou
and non-intsrvention by Congress or any
other authority outside. If this principle is adj.
hered to ard vindicated, whatever may be the
fate OF Slavery in any instance as involved in
its maintenance, the South will be satisfied
Bat it will not tolerate violation of this ri in.
cip!e; and firmly and Thoroughly convinced, as
| VIC are, that this principle ould be fiagrantly
| violated in the refusal of Congress to admit
Kansas with Constitution framed at Lecomp.
ton, VIC feel assured that we do not misrcpre.
sent the s. ntiment Of the South in declaring
that it mill not submit to its rejection"
The Suoth, according to this ststcmcnt, i.
governed exclusively hy desire that the geo.
| pie of Kansas should be allowed to decide 70,
themselves ly what Constitution they will be
governed the only qualification it admits is
that their will in the premises shall be ascer.
taincd in legal manner.
Now an election was held on the 2lst instant
| at which part of the Constitution was sui NIT
ted to the public judgment. This was done by
direction of the Convention which had the
| power, rs all conccd", to do it. On the 4th oil
January the pho.e Constitution is to he submit
ted in like manner to the popular vote and
this IL done by Legislature acknowledged to
have been duly elected and to have full rowel
to take this action. 10th these elections are leqa
aud ualid. Now SUI pose the first election
should show that 1000 Of the inhalitnnts Of
Kansas are in favor Of the Lecomp'on Consii
tation,-eitEer with or without Slaverv,-ans
that the January election should show that IL.
600 are opposed to it Which of the two
