the State Normal School, on Monday evening,
September 10, 1870, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted;
WHEREAS, 1t hath pleased the Great Teach
er TO remove from us by death, our beloved
friend and fellow student Henry w. West;
and
WHEREAS, We desire, in some way, to ex-
press our sympathy with those so deeply be-
reaved, and our respect and affection for HIM
therefore
Resolved, That we recognize in the life of
our departed brother q manifestation of those
qualities which characterize the worthy friend,
the earnest student. the consistent Christian,
and the true man. That while by his death
we have sustained q loss whose fullness we
daily realize as we miss his sunny face in the
school room, yet we bow in submission to the
Divine will, feeling that for him as he said,
'sAll is WELL"
Resolved, That a copy Of these resolutions
be sent to the mother Of the deceased, and that
they be furnished to the city papers for publ
cation. MRS. j. 81. GORHAM,l

How ARE You GAsH-A little over year
ago we told the people over south OF town, in
. little talk we made in favor OF railroad bonds,
that It would not be two years until we should

READTNG.-This is the name Of new town
laid out in this county, on the Atchison, Tope-
ka & Santa Fe railroad, about fifteen miles
northeast Of here. There has been no blow
about it, but we observed, in passing i last
week, that some fifteen or twenty new houses
had sprung up in a surprisingly short time.
Knowing the proprietors that are backing this
enterprise, we predict it will soon make a
point Of considerable importance.

Henry Adams, who owns farm on Allen
creek, four miles north of town, devoted two
acres Of ground to gardening this season. A
fourth of an acre was planted to melons, from
which he has sold upwards Of eight hundred,
at an average of twenty-five cents each, and
thinks there were fully five hundred more
grown on the same patch-or 1925 worth in
all. How is that for high? We have seen
some of the melons, and they were as large as
ever we saw in any country. From less than
one acre of potatoes he sold 800 worth, and
now thinks he will have $50 werth of turnips
on the same ground. The balance of the
ground also paid well-for dry season."

Of the KAw, and they have stoves, wagons,

good an article at as low price as any other

PATRIorIsM.-Manyi instances Of the patriot
ism Of communities during the late war, have
been mentioned. But we have one in our own
county which beats all others that we have any
knowledge Of In a conversation at Hartford,

Of Eagle creek, informed us that out Of tifty-
six voters on Eagle and Four Mile creeks, in
the southern part Of this county, forty-eight

record where so great proportion. OF the vot-

THE DAILY.-The sensation caused by the
appearance OF the first number Of THE DAILY
NEWS, yesterday, was entirely satisfactory.
The pleasure evinced by the community, we
are glad 10 note, was equal to the surprise,
which we take as an suspicious omen. ''You
have been very sly about this" pleasantly
greeted us everywhere. We have only to say
that the intention to issue the paper about
this time is not late conception, but no prep
aration had been made and no type had been
set for 1t, not even a headline. until the day
before 1t went to press. The favor with which
1t has been received is only an expression of
the earnest desire Of the community, and we
are assured the necessity for and public appre-
citation of THE DAILY EMPoRIA News will
very soon warrant its enlargement.

INsANE.-A young man named Winfield s.

although destitute OF money, he obtained board
at the Buckeye House. He soon obtained job
at building n cistern, and contracted for others.
He worked industriously and manifested q
commendable ambition to obtain larger con-
tracts for building, spent much time in calcu-
lating the cost Of certain buildings, and SEEM
ed to feel sanguine Of success and hopeful of
his future. About a week ago he manifested
considerable unrest, and for three nights did
not sleep. He then obtained some whisky and
became intoxicated. The next morning he
was extremely crazy, and it became necessary
to confine him. Physicians were called, and
he was pronounced insane. In the city prison
he tore his clothes from his person, but has not
shown any vicious disposition to those about
him. Some provision should be made for his
safe keeping.
The cause Of his insanity is believed to be q
difficulty in his family relations, combined
with his financial troubles and his failure to
secure the contracts he had expected to obtain

was our pleasure to spend
few minutes in the handsome millinery es-
tablishment of Mrs. Newman the other day,
examining the wonderful works Of art in that
line. The perfection to which the manufac-
ture Of artificial flowers has been brought is
one of the wonders Of the age. The delicate
tints, brilliancy and harmonious blending of
colors, the imitation of nature in all the minu-
tiae that attaches to the natural growth and
even accident in the lives OF the tender orna-
ments Of the natural world, are SO skillfully
and tastefully portrayed as to surpass in beau
ty and form even the flowers they were made
to represent. Only the fragrance and micro
scopic peculiarities Of the natural are wanting
in the artificial to render them equal in value
and attractiveness. The skill of human hands,
as demonstrated by the exhibitions of Mrs.
Newman and Mrs. Kidder, is not confined to
their flowers. We were shown a "perfect love
OF q bonnet" which our knowledge of terms
peculiar to the world Of women and fashion
is too limited to attempt to describe. Suffice
1t to say that it cost si1ty dollars, and is the
prettiest object Of the kind we ever beheld.
The point lace collars, gorgeous sashes, ct Get
/ era, with which the fair sex adorn their per-
sons, shown to US on this occasion excited alike
| our wonder and admiration. The more sub
| stantial necessities Of domestic economy are to
be found IL profusion in the store below. A
visit to this establishment, reader, will recon-
pense you for coming miles TO see.
