OscE MoRs.-Ths St. Joseph Union
still insists that the fault Of our mail disar-
rsugemsnts does not lie in the st. Joseph
Post Office and our Postmaster has
shown us letter from Mr.. Rogers. Sc
psrating Clerk ct the St. Joseph Office,
who claims that the fault is not there.
and that the Chief has done him injustice.
During the past week. our Postmaster
has paid particular attention to this mat
ter, and Informs rs thai our last week's
statement was correct. The whole troub-
le lies in this: There is carried on the
stage sack of through matter. marked
Omaha. which is rot put od at the inter
mediate offices between st. Joseph and
Omaha /; and there is another sack for the
way offices. in which the matter for such
offices is placed. and this is the one de-
liyered at these offices. Since the dispute
on this subject has arisen. our Postmaster
has required the driver to put of the
Omaha sack, aud has overhauled it, and
has inuaria6ly found all the ST. Louis and
other Eastern matter in it. belonging
to this Office, as we'll as large quantities
of matter for Wathens. Troy. Highland,
Iowa Point, Hiawatha. and numerous
other Offices. We have no idea that this
is purposely done to discommode the
people along the route but believe that
it happens through haste. oversight, OF
without considering where the Post Offices
are located /; but that it is done at St
Joseph. there is no manner of doubt
Let the proper clerk see to it that all the
matter for way Offices is put in the way
sack. instead of the through sack. and we
will warrant that he will hear very little
complaint hereafter.

The only drawback upon this branch Of

PRICES OF LAND.

Good unimproved prairie lands may
be purchased. from eight to ten miles
from the river towns, at from So to IS
per acre those having timber, at higher
figure. Farms improved, or partly i'm
proved. from one to Eve miles from the
river. may be bought at from 800 to $50
and $40 per acre. 1t is our opinion,
that If o man has the means, it will pay
him much better to buy land as near
the river as possible. either improved or
unimproved, at high prices, than to go
further back and get cheaper. There are
many advantages in this. such as conven-
fence to timber. market, mills. and nu-
merous other considerations.

HEALTH.

Kansas is essentially helthy country.
Fevers and ague are not generally preva-
lent. Consumption is rarely known. ex-
cept the victim has it incurably before
coming. The principal ailing is lung
fever. which prevails in Winter and
Spring. and 10 undoubtedly the result Of
the cold piercing -inds. several times al
luded to in this article. By the use Of
warm and proper clothing. providing
against exposure and sudden changes Of
weather. aud due observance of care.
this disease would soon be little known.

TAXES AND PRICES.

TAxk6 AND PRICESs
Our people complain of high taxes.
the same as they do everywhere; but an
official comparison has shown that the
taxes in Kansas are much lower than in
any other Western State. Articles nee
essary to bs purchased. can be had as
chssply as anywhere in thsWsst. while
the price of produce are generally higher.

CHARACTER OF PEOPLE.
Owing to the peculiar circumstances
attending the early settlement of Kansas.
our 6rst settlers were of different class
from pioneers generally. They were men
who we're in the habit of reading and
thinking. and were drawn here BY inter-

jority Of the citisens Of Kansas are rssd-

more intelligent than the 6rst settlers Of

We have an admirable school system.

community.
