SENATOR
Henry ScHRfBNER. an honest blacksmith
at the south end of Massachusetts street,
has become so wildly insane that it is found
necessary to eonfne him in our Jail. ga
woman is supposed to be at the bottom OF
| it," He has been an industrious man since
the commencement of his residence here, and
rumor says he has ..loyed not wisely. but
too weli'' a certain young lady here. His
suit was rejected quite recently, and thus il
ends. He is man of Herculean strength,
and has made most wonderful demenstra-
| tons on the iron bedsteads and doors of the
Jail; having twisted the former like so mucl.
hoop iron, and wrenched the doors so as to
be able to pass his hands through. A blow
from his fist upon the iron frame of the Jail
seems to cause no pain or abrasion of the
skin. The poor fellow should be well pro-
vided for.
He was-reieased yesterday, appearing of
perfectly, sound mind, and spent the after
noon on the street. He went. to bed as
usual. but guaswas fired near by, which

meneed raying. dasbing out windows and
yelling .terriicaIly: He started on foot
race through the streets, evidently endeay-
oring to reach the river. His pursuers at
last caught him, and eight men carried him
to the Jail, after binding his legs with
strong rope. This accounts for the hideous
yels heard in the north part of the town
about O'Clock last night, causing not few
to think of another kidnapping case.-Low-
renee Journal, Cd.
The election for Representative. in this
city. as well as all other places heard from.
passed off with the greatest good humor,
not even producing disturbance of the
peace. Much betting was done on the re-
suit, and cur side won most of the money.
The result surprised all. more particularly
friend Babcock. He foolishiy agreed, not
long since, in case Lane, PARROT and the
Methodist Church (what combination y
did not receive one hundred majority in this
city, that 'the boys" might take possession
of his sign, and put it IN closer connection
with Christian & Lanes. The polls were
hardly closed, when sure enough, the big
letters &c Babcock d Lykins, Bankers"

rounding crowd, and were raised over

sition again. with right good will, amid
the cheers Of the opposite party.-LaWrence

y Coop SIGN.-We have noticed for sew
eral days past large number of farmers in
town, purchasing agricultural implements.
seeds. &C., &c. This contradicts the state
ment of some anonymous scribbler in the
St. Louis Republican,, that Kansas is settled
altogether by politicians. demagogues, car
pet sack gentry, ct I'd Onane genus. There
are enough, in all conscience, of these
classes, but they don't comprise all of our
population, by any manner of means. We
have thousands of good, sound, substantial
farmers, notwithstanding the r.verses aud
terrible drouth of the year past, who are not
discouraged, and will redouble their efforts
during the coming season, already so p,opi-
tiously inaugurated; aud we sincerely trust,
as we firmly believe, that the fall will crown
their labors with golden harvest The
crop put in, in this aud the adjoining coun-
ties, this spring, will be very Iarge.-Leav-
enworth Conservative.
The first train of the season arrived here
from Los Vegas, New Mexico, on the Sth
inst. They started on the Goth of january.
The train is owned by Theodore Baca, and
is freighted with wool for Kansas City, Mis-
souri,. They will return Immediately with
goods. The train is composed of 16 men,
II wagons, and $50 mules. One mule died
upon the way. Report snow nine inches
deep to Fort Union. They met three hun
dred Arapahoe Indians, who said they were
going to fight the Utes. Times are hard in
New Council Grove Press, 9Th.
SEED WHEAr.-We hear it reported that
a steamer, employed by Gen. Pomeroy,
loaded with seed wheat, left Atchison last
Saturday for the depot at this place-the
wheat to be distributed south of the Kansas
liver. The central position of Lawrence,
the poor condition of teams, and the present
stage of water, all argue in favor of relief
shipments to this place by the river.-Law-
renee Republican.
JUDGE MEANs.-Hon. Thomas Means,
formerly a resident of Eastern Ohio, but
now or LeaVenWofth, mas Deen appointed
and confirmed District Attorney of the
United States for Kansas. Judge n. is an
able jurist, and we are glad that Mr.. Bu-
chanan has made SO good an appointment
Topeka Tribune.
New MEETING HorsE.-The United Pres
byterians of this place are building good
sized meeting house. They have the frame
w. and most ofrthe other material on the
ground. DIR. Swim and several other mem
bers of the church are pushing the work
forward as fast as possible. -Americus Sen
tiRel.
VIM. Martin, an Englishman we'll known
here, is probably frozen to death. The last
that was heard of him, was on Smoky Hill.
He left the settlement two days before the
snow, in search of buffalo. The old MINI
rod has surely gone under Council Grors
Press.
We learn that Balance of Power Asso-
citation is about to be formed in this vIcin-
ity, whose members pledge themselves not
to vote for any candidate who drinks intox
ica,ing liquors. Nothing bad about that
