The LeavenHorth Bulletin learns that
Young Grassboppers have made their
appearance on the eastern side Of the nv
.er, and the farmers in Missouri are alarm
ed about the prospect for crops the COM
ing season.
The Local of Ihe Conservative has been
up to Junction City, and thus speaks of
that busy ard growing town:
The great rnsh of immigration aud of
business over the U. P. Railway gives to
Western Kansas an animated aud stirring |
appearance. junction City especially is
a regular beehive, 10 which the resident |
insects, with characteristic assiduity. are
rapidly storing vast quantities of honey
typi6ed by greenbaeks. Indeed, one
nigh travel far to find a buster. more
prosperous or more muddy town. Crowds
of people from all the Western Territories
hmsy be found there any day, and oxen
aud mules, "bullwhackers' aud .'greas-
ers" wide brimmed hats and meerschaum
/ pipes form medley as curious as pleas
ing.
I To "meks hay while the sun shines
and to Improve the shining hour seem
to be the notices of every Jun ction City
lite. They, see dollar without spectacIes,
and go for it with wonderful determine
tion. Oae need do no more than seat
! himself on the steps Of the Halls House
for day to gain 9 perfectly correct idea
! OF the large business done by this town,
which haPPsnst to be. for the present, the
I practical terminus of the railroad. The
hotel itself is perfect carayansary, where
good prove nder aud pleasant sccommo-
datiOns are exchanged for greenbaeks-
the aggregate OF which IS something fab
. illus. Receipts of FIVE hundred dollars
day for hotel in country village are
enough to excite cupidity and emulation.
It is estimated that fifteen hundred
wagons will be employed this summer 10
transport Government freight from Fort
Riley and the terminus of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad, TO the different Govern
/ meut posts. Two hundred wagons. with
battalion of cavalry, passed though
junction City, the other day. They con-
stitute a portion of the army to- be sent
against the Indians, under General Han
cock. -s-a es
The Conservative says persons who
purchased tickets over the Northern Pa
cifc railroad, via Omaha, have been com
PEELED to return via that city aud take the
Kaw Yaliy route, because high waters
render the nOtthern route impossible.
AN ENrERPRIsfNT JUVENILE be-
fore yesterday, we believe it vas, that one
of our prominent citizens started for New
York, telling his little four-year old son
how and where he was going. Yester-
day the enterprisiug little fellow quietly,
walked along aboard the Heusley, and,
being among the crowd, was of course
supposed to belong to some one on the
boat. Arriving at Weston. young Clark
| followed The passengers into the cars,
when some oue casually inquired where
be was going. Our Juvenile traveller rep
| lied that his pa had gone to New YORK.,
and be was going there, too. Finding
out the true status of affairs, the boy was
taken care Of and the family telegrapbed
as TO his whereabouts. Clark came
home last evening, very much dissatief
ed at not being allowed to pursue his trip
to Wall street and the coal hole Con-
serUat,ve. $500
