PRESENT.

CGmclL CHAMBER, March S, 1858.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-10-16
Pike. Peak Express.

Let ''all the world and'the rest of man
kind" read the new advertisement of B. F.
DALTON & Co., headed as above, which
will be found in another column. It will
be seen that they are prepared to supply
the wants of all Kansas, and that they are
intending to monopOlize the trade of Law
renee. The ladies are specially invited
to notice the provision made for them.
Gentlemen's Furnishing Goods of all de-
scriptions may be found in the extensive
stock, all of which is offered at prices to
suit the "hard times" We will not stop
to enumerate, but invite all our readers
to read for themselves, and then call and
purchase their winter supply. Country
merchants would do well to send in their
orders, or present them in person, thereby
saving the expense of trip to more
Eastern market.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-10-16
Frost

Last Thursday morning the ground was
covered with heavy frost, the first that
has been visible this season. The crops
are all out of the way, with the exception
of late vines, &c. The lovers of toma-
toes, melons and such other luxuries, will
find their supplies cut off for the present
season.
There is great scarcity in the market
of good eating apples, so much, even, that
they are not to be found at all. We hope
our Missouri neighbors will bring supply
soon. Not many years will elapse, we
trust, ere the citizens of Kansas will be
independent of other States for their sup
ply of fruits. We earnestly urge upon
our farmers that they give attention to
this department.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-10-16

OF We understand that there has been
a warm contest in Coffey county, in the
Election for County Seat. We have the
returns from the several precincts which
result as follows:
Burlington, 204; Leroy, 211. There
were other contestants, but these two
towns received the largest number of
votes. This is the third time the county
seat has been located at Leroy. First, by
petition; then by decision of Commis-
sioners appointed by the people at gen.
eral election, and now by the voice of the
people directly. We should think the
question ought to be permanently settled
by this time.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-10-16
Pro-Slavery.

Jefferson county is reported to have
elected one Pro-Slavery member to the
Legislature, and tied the other Pro-Slave-
ry candidate with the two Republican
candidates. 1t is said that the Free State
Democrats were forced into the support of
the Slavery candidates by the unwise
action of the Republicans, who were de-
termined to organize, with the view Of
keeping step with their brethren in other
portions of the Territory. The county
seat was located at Oskaloosa.
