The ice storm lasted about fifteen minutes,
during = e1,ici time the ground was covered with
ice balls from the size of 4 heu's egg 10 comnon

some balls were picked up hear tho doors o!

TIE ADMISSION or EASsAS
:. Southern Senator1t}lave de'ermined to man
age it possible so as 10 keep Kansas out Of the
Cnion till after the Presidential election, lest
her vote might exercise controlling influence
in case the choice should come to 1hr House.
Her admission would make eighteen states ne
crssary 10 choose: They hare now some little
hope, Of getting the requisite seventeen tor q
Southern man, or failing IN that, to defeat the
election hy the House, and thus devolye it upon
the senate where their chatces will be greater.
But even here they much prefer not to hare two
Republican Senators from Kansas. They may
hare power TO play this game, but will ind it
dangerous, Is tie people Of the Free S.atcs viii
become SO exasperated by this new outrage
upon kansas that hey will set.le the contest at
