The railroad fever in our State is
quite high. and seems to be Of very
general prevalence. The "Nortbern
Tier" aud the eastern Tier" are sadly
affected, and the Center, South and
West are far from escape. Conven-
tons have been held at Fort Scott,
Paola and Emporia. and meetings SO
numerous We have not KEEP. the run Of
them; all powerfully under the influence
of the prevailing disorder. Indeed. We
may say the whole State is under *
element.
All well enough. Siagnation is mex,

activity is essential to health, life and
prosperity. But there is danger oil

All a mistake. Railroads cause thu
cities TO swallow up the villages ant
smaller towns. They are grest central
izers. The idea that there will be .
quarter Of hundred large cities il
Kansas in few years is simply pre-
posterous.
A few railroads will probably be com

but they will not be completed. TIVE

The replies Of the Germanic Confederation and
Denmark in regard to the Congress are published.
All accepted. 1t was reported that Austria had sent
q note definitely declining the invitation. Ii was
stated that Drouyn de L'huys had sent a circular TO
the French Diplomatic agents relative TO the Congress.
stating that the refusal of England had frustrated
the combination ; but France was ready to come TO
an understanding with the Governments, and Is Will

SEES a great desire 10 come to an understanding with
the Emperor Napoleon, in order 10 bring about a

Iramigration.-Th immigration into this
part Of the State is now very great, and we
are pleased to note that the greater portion
OF the new corners are agriculturists, who
come to settle down on our rich and fertile
praiIies, to build up for themselves perma-
nent homes. Last Friday there were sold
fourteen farms, in the immediate vicinity OF
this place, to persons from distance, who
will settle on them; and we are told that
hardly a day passes but that from three to
ten farms are purchased in this section by
strangers who will make homestcads OF them.
We have as good country as there is this
side Of shutdown, and we are glad to know
that its fertile acres are being rapidly dotted
over with cultivated farms. In this we see
the dawn of a prosperity that will be rich
and enduring. We have the land, water,
timber and climate that is all that reason
could ask it to be, and once let our untold
resources be even partially developed and we
shall have the Garden Of the West. Let the
country fill up, and the towns will take care
of themselves. We extend hearty welcome
to the new corners, and at the same time
would extend q general invitation to the
thousands who yet exc oat a. bare subsistence
on bleak and barren eastern hIlsides, to
como to "a, where the deep ani generous

w" Conscientious Traders No trader who
sells goods for family consumption can claim
to be honest and conscientious who sells a
deleterious article, such as is frequently sold
and called Saleratus. He can satisfy himself
without difficulty as to what is pure and
what is not, and is morally bound to do so.
The evidence is before the world that the
Chemical Saleratus made by DELAND & Co,
at Fairport, N. Y and put up in red papers
is pure and wholesome. Grocers should al.
ways have it, and consumers should take
none other.

~ Tile NcCormich .SsIf Raker-The
numerous visitors daily to this machine, and
the comments of the farmers upon it have
led US to the consideration Of the grain crop
and hew to save it. 1t is conceded that our
farmers have the greatest number Of acres
ever put in, and thus far a prospect of good
yield. Labor in proportion to the demand
was never SO scarce every real manual labor
saving Machine is Of greater value to the
farmer now than ever before; not only valu.
able to the owner, but contributes to the in
terest OF all; every man saved in one field,
can be used in another With no other crop
is this SO important as with the grain crop.
The season for securing it is short; the
weather generally hot, the labor fatiguing,
and few days delay frequently results in
great damage. What our farmers absolutely
need in reaper and mower in this country
is one that is durable, reliable through the
harvest, and efficient in performing the work
in all hinds Of grain ..N... ..es
A selfraker should never trail tho grain
and should lay the gavels outside the track,
with the straw even, straight and loose on
the stubble, and spread sufficiently to dry
| out whether it is cut green or with the dew
on, or gets wet after eating. In all of these
qualities it is conceded that Mccormick
Reaper and Mower stands pre-eminently
above the rest. 1t was on this broad ground
that they received the grand Gold Medal in
competition with American and other Reap.
ers, at the great international Fair at Ham
burg in Germany last year.
The two horse machine with the late i'm.
provements, is easily worked with two ordi
nary horses. r. j. Messenger of Jefferson,
and Elder Newell Of Crane Greek, each
worked machine successfully through the
season witt, pair OF small horses, one a
pair of ponies, and the other three year old
colts.
Hundreds of others through the country
have bad similar success. They NOW well
and are warranted to be good moving ma
chimes.
Farmers, you cannot afford to break down
in harvest time. OF the tuo thousanH Self
Raksrs sold last year, only one Jreakage was
reported.
Call on the Agent and ask him to show
you tn: operation Of the rake. lO:1w
