We are permitted to take the following
extract from business letter, received by
a friend here, from a gentleman in Pennsyl-
vania. 1t will be seen that Quantrile has
some friends in the old Keystone State, who
lend him their sympathy, at least The
letter says:
I expect to become a citizen of Lyon
county as soon as the war is over. I would
have been there now, but brothers. alb
sence in the army rather compelled me to
stay here.
All loyal people here hope and pray that
Kansas may escape, in future, the ravages
of war. But there are memo. things
called men-living here in enlightened
Pennsylvania, who secretly rejoiced at the
destruction of Lawrence.
The Democratic party in this State is
dead. damned, and gone to the devil, where
it belongs. They boosted, before the cleo
ton, of fifty thousand MAJORITY for Wood-
ward, but non they feel as lonely and dis
contented as newly weaned calf.
Pennsylvania, in "a, will roll up another
$4,000 majority for "Old Abe" or any
other as good a man.

Frightfnl Tragedy.
POSTAL NOTICE.

For the last year a bitter feud has existed
between the families of ]. NJ. Hands and J.
L. Winfield, living on the Humboldt, about
fifteen miles from town, which has resulted
so frightfully. They occupied adjoining
claims, and have several times met with
guns and threatened each others lives.
Last Wednesday, a sou of Wifneld's rode
up to Hands, who was at work within his
fence, and accused him of having caused
party of soldiers to commit outrages upon
his family. Hands denied the charge,
whereupon Winfield drew his revolver.
Hands begging him not to shoot. Win
field then accused him of having set out a
prairie FIRE, which charge Hands also denied
Winfield again drew his revolver, seeing
which Hands ordered his son. a lad of four
teen or fifteen years of age, to 90 in the
house and get him the shotgun Winfield
fred, the ball entering the right shoulder,
and passing entirely through The boy,
seeing his father fall just as he was coming
with the gun, raised it and fired at Winfield,
the charge entering Winfeld's breast and
face. He attempted to FIRE at the boy, but
before he-succeeded the boy put a second
charge of shot into him. Hands was killed
instantly. and Winfeld's recovery is con-
sidered doubtful.
Such occurrences are becoming too fire.

Our State is yet young in eduoationel ad-
vancement, and by thus early starting a.
Educational Journal, a system of teaching
may be established W hich will result in last
10 benefit to our educational interests. A
systematic ,,oethod ofteaching and regular
ity in books should be our Grst aim, then
our children will receive that advantage and
advancement which schools are inter,ded to
impart.
Our school lands when sold will create a
school fund that will surpass that of almost
any of the Eastern States, it will enable US
to have school almost the entire year, and
our children to receive good education az
home. The indications are, that the per
cent. of those unable to read or write will
be smaller in this State than that of any

a Convict, an inmate of the prison of
Lesparre (Gironde), attempted to commit
suicide from grief at seeing the expiration
of his long term of Imprisonment approach.
He had attempted TO strangle himself, and
to beat out his brains with a stone, but neither
of these means succeeded, and he was found

his tongue protruding from his mouth and
