PERsoSAL.-oUR STAGE LINE.

During the past week we have received
calls from Mr.. Henry Tisdale, known
among the drivers and agents as the ''eid
man, proprietor of the Lawrence and
Emporia stage line, and Hank Low; agent.
Neither of these gentlemen admire, to any
alaiInin' extent. what we have been saying
about the line in the past few numbers of
our paper. They think our jokes rather Sc
rious. Well. we did not suppose they would
ike them much, and in ali respect to them,
it was not matter of much concern to us
whether they liked them or not.
Both these gentlemen inform us that the
line is to be fitted up in better style-an of
which the travelling public viii be glad to
hear. Mr.. Lowe has come among US to
reside as agent. He will Immediately COM
mence the erection Of large barn here to
accommodate the wants of the company
So soon as the proper arrangements can be
made the line is to be stocked up and four
horse coach run from. here to Burlingame.
This company has long needed an active
agent here. Mr.. l. is an old hand at the
business and he assures us that nothing
will be left undOne TO make this one OF the
best stage lines in tile state. We notice
that the stages and teams have lately been
] much better than few weeks ago. Mr..
Tisdale has just purchased, at st. Louis.
some forty head of horses for his Kansas
lines, and will soon bring on thirty more.
We wish to say that onr thriists at this
company were not dictated out of any i'll
will at all TO Mr.. Tistlale. On the contrary
/ we have always beiriended him in every
/ way in our power, have made excuses for
his poor accommodations, and desired his
| prosperity. We have no feelings of a mall
icious nature toward him. We wish him
and all his interests prosperity. We want
a good stage line-0ne that will COME some
thing near accommodating the public inter
estS not only OF this point but this whole
section of country. This we must have.
We want Mr.. Tisdale to give it 60 us if ht

MAY-DAY AT HARTFORn.

I1AKIF0BDs hdllS. NAY OIn, %.
As time glides smoothly on, adding
month after month to the calendar of the
past, amid the blessings of peace and pros
perity, we once more greet the lovely month
of May.
These are occasions that our people never
fail to improve. Previous arrangements
had been made to make the first of May
a gala day which should be remembered as
bright oasis on the page of memory, to be
reverted to in years to come with pleasing
emotions. Charles Baysinger was elected
Marshall, and Miss Mary Britton, May
Queen. Pieces were committed by members
of the school and songs selected. The pro-
cession formed at the college at 10 o'clock,
and marched to the grove one-half mile
east of town, where the ground adj been
prepared, stand fixed up for the speakers,
and benches arranged for the spectators.
After browning the Queen and speaking the
pieces, interspersed with songs, appropriate
speeches were made by DR.. Hewitt aud Rev.
ID. X. Harden. dinner was served in true
picnic style. The many good things that
were prepared. served TO render this the most
agreeable part of the occasion. One inter-
esting feature i'm the afternoon was voting
a lady's side-saddle to the young lady who
should receive the highest number of votes
The candidates were Miss Alice Morgan,
Lucy Britton, and Jennie Campbell. The
vote stood, respecti' ely. 81, IS, 92. Jen-
ME Campbell being the highest competitor,
received the saddle. The saddle formerly
belonged to Miss Jennie Banks, the young
lady who Was drowned in the river, near
this place. The funds are to be applied to
getting a tomb stone for the grave of the
DECEASED. The proceeds amounted to six
ty-five dollars which is very handsome
tribute of respect, and shows the mark of
esteem in which the deceased was held. The
party was largely attended and proved to be
a very pleasant affair. While the young
strolled among the woods, plucking wild
flowers and revealing amid the beauties of
nature, the aged, whose locks are silvered
by the hand of time, laid aside their cares
and restraints, and showed by their smiles
and presence, if they were old in years,
their hearts were still young.
In the evening the young folks met at
Manda Mains, and INDUCED in an oyster
supper. and kept up their convivialities till
late hour. SO begun and ended the first
day Of May at Hartford Fair May, come
again to gladden. and cheer, and tighten the
griefs of young and old, and render more
pleasing hfe's thorny pathway.
