NEOsHO.
Indian haunted, wild Neosho,
How we love to look on thee;
O'er the wales Of lovely Kansas,
Ever roaming dark and free;
Betting all these prairie lands,
Yet ungirt by stronger bands.
Eastward, Ger the hills Of morning,
In our happy home Of yore,
All! how eagerly we traced theei
Dreaming Of thee evermore:
Earnestly we longed to see,
All that fancy pictured thee.
Anxiously we sought to view thee,
Trayersing thy border gloom;
Nature, lavish on her prairies,
Grudglng, gave us scanty room;
Soon we viewed thy rapid how
Deep and narrow, far below.
Not thy volume, but the wiIdness
OF thy beauty lured us on;
Fancy gave the palm to Nature,
And we deemed it fairly won.
Eastern streams may broader be,
But we love to gaze on thee.
Lofty, dark-browed banks gloom O'er thee,
Vines, close-clinging, hem thee in;
F1eecy clouds sail far above thee,
Floating airily and thin
Lazily they come and go,
Lovingly theyIwatch thy flow.
Tall trees, sentinels Of Nature,
Gracefully above thee meet,
As from OF the lonely prairie,
They each other seem to greet:
WatehfaI sentinels they stand
Long they've stood there gloomy, grand.
Yet we fear thee, oh Neosho!
Infhy reckless wilder moods;
ssThus far shalt thou go; no farther;o
Loud proclaim thy darksome floods.
To thy raging we give way,
And thy mandate stern obey.
Thou has reveled in thy wiIdness-
Rayed It pleasure, claimed at viii,
But the star Of mans dominion
Swift advances westward still.
Soon Of half thy terrors shorn,
Thou mayst storm from night till morn.
Innovating man has doomed thee
To be subject to his sway;
Soon meath arch Of his creation
Thou'lt be floating on thy way:
Art, encrosehing more and mores
Soon will bind thee shore to shore.
Rapid. restless, rolling river,
VIII we e'er delighted be
With thy beauty, from this arehWay!
Can We e'er look dOsoa on thee?
VIII the vision ever prove
So enchanting from aboyel
Truly. Nature in her wanderings,
Fashioning from sea to sea,
Saved her nsdster strokes fog Kansass
And losing touch for thee.

EXECUTIVE OFFCE,(
TOPEKA, Sept. LIST, 1869. {
To the Township assessors of the uGri-
Gus Townships Of thus State:
1t is deemed advisable, by many
prominent citizens, that steps be taken
to procure from the several counties
of the State reliable statements con-
corning the yield of the crops of this
year, together with other data relating
to our material development, with a
view to the compilation and publica-
ton of these facts, and the attraction
of immigration to this State. There
is no law by which this duty is made
compulsory, and no fund from which
the expense of collecting this informa-
ton can be betrayed.
therefore appeal to you, as the
officers with whose official duties this
labor will be most consonant, to make
out and forward to this office, at as
early day as practicable, reliable data
or careful estimates under the follow
ing heads: LIST. The number of acres
cultivated in your township the pres
ent year. I'd. The number of acres
planted with the various grains. 3rd.
The average yield of each. 4th. The
rate of increase of population during
the year. 5th. The quantity of land
opened to presumption. 9th. The gen.
eral character of the same, as regards
soil, timber, water, &c. 7th. The same
as to other available lands in your
township. 9th. Such other general
remarks and matters of interest as
may be deemed serviceable for the
purpose indicated.
1t is hoped that prompt responses
may be received, in order that no time
may be lost in publishing and circula-
ting the valuable information thus
sought to be obtained.

A great sensation has been created in
New York and Pennsylvania, and in
deed throughout the country, by the
confession of one John Brown, a man
some sixty-five years old, confined in
Jail at Milford, Pennsylvania, on a
double charge of having torn up the
Erie railroad track with the intention of
throwing off trains, and of perjury to
fasten the guilt thereof on an innocent
man that he was the author of the ter
rible disaster at Carr's Rock, which oc-
CURED on the morning of the 18th of
April, 1868, whereby a score or more
souls were hurled into eternity in an
instant, and fifty or sixty persons were
badly wounded, seven of whom after
wards died from the effects of those in
juries. He had been in the employ of
the railroad company but sent to jail by
them on charge of forgery, and in re-
venge for that he fixed a rail in such a
manner as to throw the train off the
track and cause the terrible disaster at
Carr's Rock. Brown also confessed to
having tempered with the track in such
q manner as to cause several other acct
dents on the Erie railroad. Such hellish
crime has rarely been confessed.

Some of our citizens do their whole duty
several more than their duty-toward en-
| couraging the growth of our town and country.
| Some, however, do not exert that influence,
nor manifest that interest in the accomplish
ment of this object which we have a right to
expect. We do not wish to attribute this
neglect, on the part Of the latter, to desire to
oppose the object above referred to. Doubt
less each individual thinks he is doing his very
best to make town at Americas and q flourish
ing country about it. But are their actions
likely to effect this? We have heard contrary
opinions expressed about it. For instance, we
have heard some of our farmers complain that
certain of our merchants send orders away
from home for -four, when they could get the
article just as low, and Of as good quality, here
| at home, and thus keep the~money at home.
The head of a business firm in Emporia stated
to us few days since that business man Of
Americas had applied to his house for some
work, which our informant said could be just
as well and eheaply done here, and remarked
that ga town that does not support its own
mechanics cannot prosper And this is the
way outsiders view the matter. We should
keep everything at home that can be done so.
Our merchants should patronize the producers.
And all our people ought to do their trading at
Americas, when they can do SO. If we run
of to some other town for every little notion
wanted, or every little job of work we wish to
have done, we destroy confidence in our town.
Goods are sold as low in Americas, to-day, as
at any other point in the Valley. Our me-
chanics are as good workmen, and charge no
more for their labor, than those Of other towns.
If our farmers can dispose Of their produce
here, they will trade here. Then let all hands
'spatronize home institutions"

The inhabitants of Chapinsville have reason to congratulate themselves upon the removal of dangerous neighbor from
 their midst. People living in that vicin- ity have frequently been annoyed by the disappearance of their chickens mysterious during the night, and, since the last fall of snow, footprints of strange beast, SUD- posed by some to be g panther, have been seen in close proximity to several hem roosts. On the 9th hunting party under the leadership of Messrs. John Landon and Charles McElroy started out in quest of the 'svarmint," and succeeded with the aid of dogs in tracking him to hole in a ledge of rocks One courageous dog went in to attack the beast but was forced to retreat after being nearly torn to pieces. Poles were then thrust into the hole, when large wild cat suddenly sprang out, and was in- stantly shot The old fellow was borne in triumph to the store, where being placed upon the scales, he weighed A pounds.
 ~ On the 8th, all of the fve-tweEty town bonds issued to aid the construction of the railroad, amounting to $2O,OOO, were sold at lO3. These bonds bear 7 per cent in- terest, and are considered desirable as an investment. One half of them were pur- chased by the Savings Bank in Lakeville, and the other half by three citizens of the town. rr,F -f
