Aid for Kansds.-It has been suggested
to us BY citizen Of this place, that our peo-
pie should be doing something for the sui.
ferers in Kansas. In almost every Northern
and Western State, provisions and other ma.
terial aid are being collected for them,-and
yet there is no danger Of two much being
done. An unprecedented drouth has rem
dered the crops total failure; wheat, corn,
oats, grass, vegetables, and in fact everything
necessary to sustain life, is wanting, and un-
less aid is obtained from abroad, hundreds
will actually perish from starvation during
the winter months. There is no surplus from
last years crops for the settlers to fall back
upon, and they are mostly poor families,
without the means Of purchasing. What
makes it worse, the President has thrown
the lands into market and every dollar that
the poor settler can command must be ap.
propriated to paying for his homestead, and
without the means furnished by even an av.
erage harvest, which would have enabled
them to secure their farms, thousands will be
left at the mercy Of relentless spectators,
and see the Improvements they have been Ia
boring hard for the last few years to make,
wrested from them. Now cannot the citi-
zens of the Cedar Valley do something to
alleviate the snfferings and wants of the
people Of Kansas? BY kind providence,
our section has been especially favored, and
We have more than plenty. The whole
Valley is one vast storchouse of grain, and
our barns and granaries are filed to overflow
ing with the yield Of an unusually abundant
harvest. We have especial reason to be thank
full, and in our prosperity let us not forget
those in adversely. Kansas like our own Sec
ton, is very fertile and rich country, and a
drouth similar to that of the past summer,
may, perhaps, never be experienced there
again; at least, there is as much probability
of our having to experience all the horrors Of
similar drouth, as that Kansas will. We
hope some one will take this matter in hand,
and have no doubt il our citizens were called
upon, they would respond generously. There
is not farmer but is able to give few BUSH
els Of farm produce Of some kind or other,
and if they would but do so, the aggregate
would be large, and we could send forward
from this part of Iowa, an amount that would
go great ways towards helping the people
of that afflicted territory through the winter.
Starving humanity should never appeal in
vain. We are near neighbors to them, and
have profusion of what they arc deficient,
and if we fail to respond to their cries for
bread, we shall be guilty Of heedlessness and
of the claims Of humanity, that
can be nothing less than positive cruelty. II
starve they must, let us at least have the sat-
isfaction of knowing that zoe did what we
could to prevent it. % Who will set the ball in
motion? 5gt.

Exerutlatlngly Eshal,eran..

One of the New York reporters, in describing
the entrance of the Prince into that provincial
town." rather gets ahead OF his brethren in the
redundant jenkins style of composition. Here is a
specimen brick, fairly bubbling boiling, bursting
and running over with gorgeous imagery:
We believe ourselves within the mark in stating
that between the temple of which Brown Is sex
ton, and that Battery now in the occupation of
peaceful immigrants, there were assembled within
and without the houses, at the very least 100000
human beings. Regular tiers of seats, as in a
theater were raised at the back of nearly all the
windows looking down upon the line OF march.
The hotel pariors in the st. Nicholas and Metro
politan facing the street, held at fabulous
prices by the proprietors- hundreds of gentlemen
having hired them eight or ten days in advance,
for the sole sake Of securing good view Of. the
pageant to their families and friends. Somewhere
and on some one man rests the responsibility of
those selfish displays at the Battery, whchdelayed
the passage of the procession up the best part of
Broadway until after dark-so that by the time of
its reaching Canal street, one would have required
a dark lantern and search-warrant to tell the
Prince of Wales from Fernando Wood, or Fernan-
do Wood from His Most Royal Highness.
This however, is premature From the Ast0r
House down to the Battery, current of quicksil-
yer could scarce have pressed its way through the
solid jam of human beings-men, women and chill
dren blocking up the sidewalks and main thorough
fare--this living sea flingng up spray of noisy
boys over the ratings and trees OF st. PanPs,
mounting up to fourth and fifth stories, in pillows
Of crinoiine and purple silks which surged out
through all windows and balconies, foaming higher
and higher into porters in their shirtsleeves
who stood on dangerous lodges of parapet and Gull
minating all along the double lines of roofs into
dense masses of chamber-maids, waiting maids,
cooks, house keepers and nurses with their appro-
pirate following of cousins, uncles, brothefs.in-
law, and husbands to dead sisters.
Think of " living sea, finging up . spray of
noisy boys over the ratings and trees Of ST. Panl's,i
and of "billows of crinolne and purple silks surg
ing out through all windows and balconies ~

ANEeporE OF CELEBRATED PA1NrER.-A story
is related in Gunninghams Life of Sir Joshua Rey
nolds, which shows how ridiculous great man
may be made by the force of habit. He had been
in certain position the gentleman holding bis hat.
Before he had thrown off the trammels of habit
and begun to exhibit that free and bold manner
that afterward distinguished him, certain Gus
toner desired TO be painted with his hat on. His
wish was gratifed, but when the portrait was sent
home the gentleman's vie was not q little aston
ished to perceive that her husband had TIVE bats,
one on his head and the other under his arm.

CoURT OF SEssIoNs.-This body has been en-
gagged for several days past in trying the now
somewhat celebrated case of the People vs. Car
abin, for grand larceny This we believe is the
fourth time he has been tried for the same Of
fence. The case has been once appealed to the
Supren Court, and reversed, and the county
was under the expensive necessity of paying his
expenses to and from San Quentin, to which
place he had been conveyed by order of the
Court, upon verdict of jury.
What his fate may be this time we know not
but he. has engaged in his defence the talent Of
Isaac Baggs, Esq, of our town, and that of the
Hon. J. S. Pitzer, of Neutrality-suspicious.
possessing peculiar characteristics as criminal
lawyers-and if anything can be done for him
by zeal in defeHce, he may feel consoled by the
reflection that he is blessed. Hon. R. T Sprague
assists Mr.. Mix the District Attorney, in the
prosecution, and the State will not suffer fol
want of zeal or knowledge on the part of the
prosecution.

STRANGE AND EvESTFUL HISTORY OF Car
The San Andreas Independent relates the fol
lowing:
"a few months ago miner killed cata-
mount some seven or eight miles from here
After taking off its hide neatly fer preservation,
ne gave the carcass to some Portuguese telling
them 1t was a buck rabbit. They in turn sold
1t to an Italian butcher, giving the same gentle
pedigree to his catship. The butcher had some
favorite Observation-Disclosures miners-to whom
he kindly consented to sell it for the occasion Of
grand dinner party which was to be given
their friends, and which, of course, rabbit
weighing thirteen pounds would render doubly
grand. They bought it at q good round price
and ON the day of the repast it was eaten to the
bone, with many compliment to the quality o.
the flesh, and tattering tribute to the universal
rabbit family. After few days the miner who
was at the bottom of the joke, diyulged the
cheat and " let the cat out of the bag There
upon the dinner party waxed as savage as
garden full of cats, and one of them went to the
unfortunate butcher, who was totally ignorant
OF what he had done, and told him if he (tht
butcher) did not remit an amount of about S75
he (the dinner mani would prosecute FIN fol
selling unlawful "game." The butcher was
perfectly astonished, and "wilted" of course
letting the dinner man dictate his own Terms
and SO the cat cost the butcher S75.
NoraL-Never set up for a butcher unless YOU
are good judge OF meat
