SMASHED 1T.-An old gentleman died
in the neighboring country, last week,
and q coffin was ordered at the Cabinet
Shop in this place, to be finished by ten
o'clock Saturday, as the funeral was to
take place at two. At the appointed time.
a couple of fellows came after the coffin.
but stopped at the "hole in the WALL" and
took on a heavy cargo of liquid corn.
They then started; but having fooled away
so much time in "moistening their clay"
in town as to render their looming to
time" matter of doubt. and feeling rath.
er merry withal, they put whip to their
horses, and dashed down the Bottom at
full speed. The hind wheel of the wagon
struck a log. almost upse.ting the vehicle.
and tumbling the coffin ont into the mud.
bottom upward. completely demolisbing
the lid. There was nothing now to BE-
done but return to town and have the
damage repaired. which was done in time
to allow the funeral to go on BY daylight,
and not q word of complaint escaped the
man who was waiting to be buried

AS We THOUGHT Leavenworth
papers pronounce Mcknight, the "Elo-
quent Young Orator" bumbug. impos.
tor and swindler. He and his travelling
companion stole their baggage from the
hotel. and cut on their bills. The news
paper extracts eulogiEing him, which he
forwarded for publication. were forgeries.
Just as We thought, and said. Certain
published extracts from his speechs were
decidedly wishy-wasby, coming from
such an eloquent source. But people who
run crazy after humbugs, deserve to be
"taken in" by them.

E The Missouri River Railroad
Company has been organized. BY the
election of Directors, and subscription
books have been opened. The charter
was granted BY the Territorial Legisla-

Railroad on the west side of the Missouri
River, from the mouth of the Kansas Ri
yer to the Nebraska line. White Cloud
is one of the points named in the charter.
But as all the Directors chosen are citi-
