A JUVENILE THIEF ARREsTED.-On Satur-
day last, while the family were at church, the
bedroom Of NJ. Meskimmen, at Neosho Rap
ids, was entered by David Burton, u boy
about sixteen years Of age, a relative of Mr..
Meskimmen, and stole pocket book belong
ing to the latter which was supposed to con-
tain $40, the property Of the Lodge of Odd
Fellows at that place. The boy Immediately
started for Emporia, and on Monday morning
bought ticket at the Junction depot for To-
peka. Before traintime, however. Mr.. Mes
kimmen, who was in pursuit, in going toward
the junction from the Valley road, depot
caught glimpse of the boy. Before he reach
ed the depot, however, the boy saw Mr.. n. and
found hiding-place. Surprising he had start
ed on the railroad towards Topeka, Mr.. NJ.
walked down the railroad several miles, and
returning met the young offender on the road.
He was brought back and lodged in jail.
The boy is small for his age, and consump-
tive, whose days are nearly done. His father
lives in Galesburg, Ills. In view Of his youth
and disease he was charged with petty instead
of grand larceny, fined five dollars and costs,
by Justice Hunt, and sent to Jail in default of
payment. His tenure of life will probably
not be extended much beyond the period OF
his incarceration.
hr. Meskimmen recovered about S24 Of the
money, Burton saying that this was all he had
stolen, less the amount he paid for a ticket to
Topeka. It is believed that he had an associ-
ate In the transaction.

We were shown a letter this morning from a
gentleman in Ohio, who is the proprietor Of =
large mill and wooden factory, who proposes to
sell out and come to Kansas, and says II the
people of EmporiA will give him q reasonable
degree of encouragement, he will locate here
and erect u large steam MILL and factory in the
city. He is known to parties here as a man of
ample means and large business experience
and capacity. He has been here, and knows
whereof he speaks when he says this point
suits him. VIII he receive any encourage
ment! This Is question for the property
holders to answer. Car loads OF -four are
shipped to this point almost daily, the mills in
the vicinity have all they can do, vast quanti-
ties Of old wheat are garnered in the country,
and the prospect is that there will be an i'm
mense crop next year. Must the people here
be Obliged to import their -four at high rates
Of transportation when it may be produced at
home, the freights saved and market opened
for and encouragement given to the farmers
There Is a mine OF wealth to the community
in this matter that is worth looking after.

THANKsGIvING.-The oath was duly obsery-
cd in our city by many OF our citizens, who
closed their places Of business during the
greater part OF the day. The weather was
cool and elear-pleAsant indoors around the
blazing hearth, or pleasant outdoors in the
bright sunshine. Services at the NJ Z. church
were as well attended as Thanksgiving SER
vices usually are. The meeting was opened
by an eloquent prayer by Rev. L. L. Holden,
rector Of the Episcopal church. Rev. A. NJ.
Averii preached from Gen. xvii, 80, 1T
know by experience that God hath blessed
me,'' very interesting sermon, Al the conclu-
sion Of which collection was taken up,

yiees) for the benefit Of the poor, which was
placed in the hands OF Mr.. Abner Hadley.

tributed among the needy. some Of whom were

it ever is in any locality.

The Americas school closed its fall term on
Friday last. II started out with ffty-four
scholars enrolled, and at the close of the term
the number had increased to eighty-nine-a
fact that speaks well for its management. Al
though we did not visit the school, and cannot
speak from personal observation, we are yet
prepared to say that it has been very success
full. Everybody seems well pleased with the
present teachers, and they both have been en-
gagged for another term, which will commence
one week hence. Augustus Mann and Miss
Jennie Wheeler are the teachers. We are
promised report by the teachers as soon as it
can be prepared.

PERSONAL. F. Fitzhugh, ESQ.,, and Mr..
VIM. q. Fisher, Of Wilmington. Ohio, are in
Emporia for few days. 1t would be very
agreeable, at least to us, If we could hope to
number them among our citizens. When they
left Ohio, ON Tuesday last, 1t was in the midst
or an old-iashioned snow storm; but the ex-
pectation of meeting the same sort OF weather
here has hardly been realized. This most de-
lightful weather, which has every appearance
OF continuing indefinitely, must assure them,
and every body else, OF the desirableness OF
this climate in respect not only TO health but
happiness, the latter being rs much dependent
upon the weather as other agreeable eircum-
stances. Mr.. Fitzhugh will take look at the
country south, with view to investing. We
have no doubt there is much TO tempt the
speculator down there, notwithstanding the
great rush in that direction; and certainly
(for we have seen it) there is no more beauti'
ful country on the face Of the earth.
