Mill RAIsINe.-All the settlers for several miles
around were engaged on last Monday and Tues
day in raising the heavy frame of Peter Harvey's
mill, at Neosho Rapids, twelve miles east of Eus-
poria. About i25 men were employed the first
day. and $50 the next. The building is so feet
long by 20 feet wide. and four stories high 1t IS
intended for Touring mill, saw mill. and earding
mill. The Touring mill viii contain i've pairs of
burrs.7 Those who have. seen the frame since it
was erected describe the most beautiful piece
of mechanical work they have ever seen anywhere.
The mill when completed will probably be the
largest and finest in Kansas Territory. Its cost
cannot be less than SIS 600. A fine dam is being
constructed. which will afford an abundance of
water power to run the mil all the year Neosho
Rapids, BY the aid Of this mill, must spring up
and become quite place. Two new stores, we
understand, are to be opened there soon.

when it was proposed to run two horses
against him. he caved at once. With

of her pastor, who added sound common

vised her to seat herself quietly in the
chimney corner, when next visited, take
the tongs in hand, look steadily into the
fire, and whenever hard word came
from her neighbours lips, gently snap the
tongs, without uttering a word. a day

Democratic County Convention.
Il Straight Ticket Nominated.
An Open Field and a Fair Fight.

The Democratic Convention for the
nomination of county officers, mot at
Trimbelle on Friday of last week. The
action of this Convention was looked for
with considerable interest, as there seem
ed to be some probability that the Dem
ocrats, in copnexion with some Re-
cpublicans, might run a "people's ticket
ompesed of men of beth parties. But
it is evident that the Democrats were not
willing to trust the Republicans in any
such arrangement, and the Republicans
were getting sick of the idea, and 80 we
have two straight tickets in the field.
The Convention was harmonious and
--spiritloss. The delegates went
brayely about their work, like men hav-
ing disagreeable duty to perform, aud
the determination to perform it.
The exercises were conducted in o dec
orous manner, with becoming solemnity

Boiling.

After every party nomination, where
there are strong candidates, aspiring to
the same office, we always hear the muir
mur of discomfort, and threats Of bolting,
charges of corruption, &c. 1t is usually
the case, too. that this feeling dies away
TO a great extent before election, and the
successful candidate receives the support
of bis unsuccessful rivals.
The people, as a general thing, have
but little feeling in the rivalry of various
expectants, and they are willing, even
if the man they they prefer is beaten, to
vote for fair man who represents their
own political faith. The party leaders
and aspirants have found that boiling is
very dangerous. Though sometimes a
temporary success may be gained, or a
personal animosi y be gratifed, the dam
nation of a rebel is sure, sooner or later,
10 be visited upon them. A party can
only be true to itself by being true to its
true men, and the history of party lead
ers proves that bolt, whether unsuc-
cessful or not, always places the bolter
under the party ban, and like an eclipse,
shuts out every pleasing prospect of par
ty promotion. With SO many warnings
before them, politicians are not very
apt to bolt their party ticket. The fact
is the principles of party can only be
made efficient by party organization,
and the men who love the principle are
slow to oppose the organization.
When an organization no longer rep
resents the principle which it pretends
to. or when its nominees are utterly in
capable or unworthy its binding force is
lost, but when its nominees are confessed
ly capable and worthy, no considerations
of merely personal preference, should in
fuence political action.
In this county there were strong per-
sonal preferences for the various candid
ates, and of course some of the party had
to be disappointed. But feeling of &C
quieseence in the county nominations
even among those WHO
were disappoirtad. is growing
stronger every AeT every earnest
Republican gives ais influence to tho
work, and the victory will be complete.

TIE Milwaukee Free Democrat con-
taiaes the following plain statement of
cure for cancer, very valuable if real
clre;
a piece Of sticking plaster was pnt
over the cancer, with a circular piece cut
out of the centre little larger than the
cancer, and a small circular rim of Healthy
skin next to it was expnsel. Then n
plaster made Of chloride of zinc, bleod-
root and wheat flour, was spread on n
piece of muslin the size of this circular
opening, and applied to the cancer for
twenty -four hours. On removing it tho
caScer will be found to be burnt into, ana
appear Of the colcr and hardness of an
CD shoe sole, and the circular rim ont
side Of it will appear white and parboiled
as if scalded by hot steam. The wound
is now dressed, and the outside rim soon
separates, and the cancer comes out in
hard lump, and the place heals up. The
plaster kills the cancer, SO that it siodshs
out like dead flesh, and never grows
again.
