To Our Patrons.

The first volume Of the American" is draw
ing to close. In soliciting continuance Of
the patronage ofthose who have kindly stood by US
heretofore, we hope. by their assistance, to add
as many more names to our list Of subscribers
in the coming year as we have had in the past.
In assuming the publication Of the American.
in February last, we had no experience as a
publisher, and but little as an Editor Our aim
and effort since then, has been To place our
paper on such basis, pecuniary and other.
wise, as to insure its permanent success and
usefulness. With oil the disadvantages under
which we have been placed, we are not without
hope Of having to some degree succeeded in
helatter Il not in the former, aud Il is but rea-
sonable that our patrons should expect better
things from us In the future than in the past.
At the commencement Of the second volume
we shall make such improvements in the APP
pearance Of our paper as willprovc acceptable
to our patrons, and at the same time have the
satisfaction TO know that we arc moriting sue
cess in our business, leaving US ut least with

fraud and corruption, whenever the same
shall come to our knowledge, whether
II be Local, State or National Our political
views are known TO be adverse to the Kansas
policy Of the present National Administration,
yet we shall always reserve 10 ourself the right
TO speak our Sc ntiments and views on all ques-
tons Of public interest, independent OF the
dictates Of party, npholding that which we
deem to be right, aud condemning what We
conceive to be wrong.

to how it occurred that the American
did not reach Cedar Grove until the
Tuesday morning after its publication,
We have since been informe i that the

our own. This statement is due to all
concerned in the matter.

Tenth Legion Cattle.

We have recently noticed several lots of
fine beef cattle passing through our town to
the north, raised by grazers in this county
and Rockingham, that would compare favor
ably with any raised in other sections Of the
State. Among them we may name lot
purchased by Mr. Cooley of Samuel Moore,
esq, of this county, consisting Of some ~
head. for which. we understand, he paid the
sum Of one hundred and ten dollars per
head. They passed through this place on
Saturday morning last.
a few days previous, Mr.. Jacob llaun, of
this vicinity, purchased a number Of cattle Of
the Mcssrs Roscnbergcr IF Rockingham,
the average gross weight of which, we un-
dcrstand was 1907 pounds.

The opinion has been expressed in ofilclai
quarters that necessity may occur for an

Judge Edmond. and spiritualism.

Judge EdmOnds has commenced in the
New York Tribune series of letters address
ed particularly, says the writer, to the hf-
teen or twenty millions Of our people who be-
long to no church, who scarcely possess any
religion, but who seem willing or compelled
to trust to luck and let the future take care
Of itself SpiritualiSm. according 10 Judge
Edmonds will relieve their doubts as Ia the
future: will dispcl that anxiety that will at
times Intrude upon every mind; will open TO
their comprehension view of the future. be
vond measure attractive to an immortal ma
turc; and. while it may conflict with many Of
the doctrines taught as the religion Of the
day. will enjoin upon all who receive it, an
unyarying life of public worth. and private
virtue Now Judge Edmonds is man re-
spected by all who know him. Able, he GER
tanly is and as a Judge and lawyer has ac-
quired an cnviable reputation. That such a
man should have become convert to Spirit
ualisln, has astonished not few. A new
doctrine must be Judged by the prccepts it
inculcatcs and by the results they produce
when put into practice. If these tests be ap-
piled to Sprituaism as thus far developed,
il will be found that few false doctrines
which have from time to time been taught
since the Christian Era. have produced more
disastrous results than this.-N. \. Courier.
