We learn that one John Mack. arrested
and arraigned before the district Court at
Lecompton for stealing horse from Mr..
Bersau, on the Pottowatomie Reserve. some
time last fall. was discharged by Judge FL
more on Thursday last. His guilt was ap.

for want of jurisdiction. This decision rem

thieves.
A doleful appeal for assistance comes up
from Shawnee and Waubonsee counties.
There are without doubt many persons who
will have hard time to get through the
winter. and few may be pushed to the Sc
verest extreme, but the number will be found
comparatively small TO what the reports
represent. A committee should be appoint
ed to canvass the ahole territory. Things
are not as bad as, represented. We do not

SENTENCED FOR AN ATTEMPT TO KIDNAP.-
A short time since. Mr.. Hatcher went to
St. Joseph, from Kansas, taking with him a
negro woman whom he tried to sell. She
insisted that che was free. and had heen de-
coyed to st. Joseph under false pretenses.
Hatcher was arrested. tried before Judge
Woodson, and his guilt clearly proven. He
has just been sentenced to the penitentiary
for eighteen years. This is q severe punish
ment. but probably just one. We are glad
to see that the people of our neighboring
State are disposed to deal with such often
ders according to their just deseFts.-Leau.

For THE MINEs-Ou Tuesday last train
of 81 heavily loaded wagons passed through
our city bound for Pixies Peak. The train
belonged to P. Lyons, of New York, and
was freighted with assorted merchandise for
the mining district. From the large sup
plies constantly going out we judge there
must be an active trade at Denver and the
Mountain towus.-Elweod Free Press.
A meeting was held in Topeka. on last
to ascertain the number that
would need help in the county. The Tri.
dune says:
The reports gave us $50 bushels of corn,
and 5187 bushels of the new crop. "One
sixth of the people of Tecumseh township
need assistance most of the people could
make out to get through /; one half in Au-
burn township that cant live without help
one third of che inhabitants left Monmouth
Such are the reports given
by delegates from the different townships.
While times are so hard, and food and
money so scarce. we do hope our people
will not feast too much but live upon plain
wholesome food, and give what they would
other wise put into rich cake, to those who
need help. If Wedding is to take place,
substitute cornbread for pound cake, and
NJ uSh and milk for dessert.
SEED WHEAT FOR KANsAs.-The appeal
from the Southern portion of the Territory,
to the full granaries Of the Northwest, is be-

2 600 bushels for the Kansas aeed wheat
fund. Peoria has subscribed $500 for the
same purpose, and other contributions are
being made. From present appearances,
here can be no doubt that those of our

nate the past year, will be amply supplied
