of our brag institutions. This spring has
been dry. A drop of rain is refreshing.
Last Monday morning cloud came up. 1t

catch water in their cisterns. After the
storm was over it was ascertained that ff-
teen drops had fallen to-the acre, and it was
not much of day for "drops" either,
Then the wind blowed gentle breezes for
four or FIVE days. that would take the hair
off of fellows head, or the lint off his
clothes. Thursday it rained and showed
and froze and thawed, and yesterday it was
calm and spring-ike. In some sections
they have had good rains this week.

HAWKINS TAYLoR.-Well, we have seen
Hawkins Taylor, Mail Agent for Kansas
and Nebraska, against whom certain papers
in this State have had so much to say late
ly, and we must confess we could see moth
ing bad about him. lie was here on Thurs
day aud Friday. He was on business con
nected with his Office, and we will say, for
the benefit of certain journals, that he made
no speech here, and, so far as we know,
said nothing about politics. He is making
q tour of Southern Kansas, on mail bust
ness. He goes from here to Lawrence. ant
then to Humboldt. He is gentleman, and
we believe, understands his "bz." We
dent believe Kansas will be any the worse
for having him as citizen. On the whole
we rather like Hawkins Taylor, and wan
him to come again.

ing closed with vote of thanks to the
