The WEATHER.-The most inveter

iault with the weather during the first
two weeks in October. The three days
Of Fair We're simply perfect, and the
people took advantage of the fact as
was amply evidenced. The stormy
Jays have come upon us now, which
will probably be followed by colder
weather, and we can hardly expect the
genial warmth just past until the In
dian Summer of November arrives.
The timely rains which fell allowed our
farmers to do most of their blowing and
seeding and they can now rest from
their labors.

DON'T KILL THE BRps.-There are a or,

DON'T KILL THE BIRDs.-There are great
many boys in the city nowadays who spend
a good deal Of their time in hunting
birds with bows and arrows, and many of
these innocent little creatures have fallen vic
tins to this cruel and unlawful pastime. These
boys are seen day after day running through
gardens, crawling through the prairie grass, or
lying in wait behind fences, to take the birds.
We call the attention of the parents of such
boys to chapter As OF the Laws of Kansas, the
first section of which says: ''Thrushes, robins,
blue-birds, wood-peckers, hooking birds, yell
low hammers, pewees, [pewitsl, swallows,
martins, blue-jays, killdees, snow-birds, wrens,
meadow larks, and doves shall not be killed at
any time" and section of the same act pro-
vides fine of three dollars for each and every
bird above named that is by any person in any
manner killed or destroyed. The law further
provides that, for running over any land,
fenced or unfenced, the property of another,
for the purpose OF killing birds, such person
may be prosecuted and fined in any sum not
less than five nor more than fifty dollars.
The boys we refer to have no knowledge OF
such law, perhaps, and no conception OF the
value of the birds, and the injury they do liz
killing them. II any one will take the time to
watch the little chirpers in the gardens
hunting their food, he may discover that they
destroy n great many worms and insects that
would, If they wece not prevented by the
birds, multiply TO such an extent as to render
the cultivation OF fruit, vegetables and flowers
an almost profitless work If not an utter i'm
possibility. Birds are more numerous in the
woodlands than on the prairies, and the few
that do subsist on the prairies and in the towns
are of incalculable importance to the prosper
ity and comfort of the people who inhabit them.
Hence we should use every possible means to
induce the birds to come here, and discourage
everything that tends 10 Brighten them away.
The boys ought TO spend their time planting
trees and putting up boxes for the especial
accommodation Of the birds to build their
nests in, instead OF wiekedly numbering them,
sileneing their sweet songs, doing untold harm
and no good thereby. We hope it will not be
necessary to call the city officers into requisi-
ton to enforce the law to protect the birds
but we hope it will be done if the boys will
not otherwise stop killing them.

THE CENsUs.-The Assistant u. S. Aarshals
having completed the census Of this county,
we are indebted 70 them for the following
figures. The population Of our city, Us shown
by the returns, will surprise everybody. We
expected that II would fall short OF the popu-
lar estimate, but the closest calculator would
not have placed our population by any posi-
BILE means below 1900. Mr.. Samuel Radges, in
compiling the city directory, made an enumer-
alton OF cur city a few weeks ago, and counted
2, 100, and claimed that IL was correct, and
for this reason the returns of Mr.. Hadley are
regarded as nothing short Of astonishing
Perched upon the figures made by Mr.. Radges,
Emporia felt disposed to laugh at the damaged
plumes Of all the neighboring cities, as the sew
several assistant marshals solved and reported
the actual population of each, and we plumed
ourselves with the utmost self-complacency,
believing it impossible for our own feathers to
suffer from such clipping. We give the
figures, and ''give in"
We make the total population Of the city
something less than was reported by the Tri-
buRe, and we would state. also, that the deaths
reported are from June 30, 1869, to June 80,
1870 and not from January 1, to June 80, 1870,
as stated by that paper.
We have not had time TO examine all the re-
turns fully, and give only the total figures of
each township, except Emporia city and town
ship, as they were kindly furnished us by the
Assistant Marshals:

their own or any Of the other counties, always
expressing themselves willing to make public
anything that would hasten the development
Of the country and induce immigration. While
this has been the case with THE NEWS ever
since it was established, it is ungentlemanly
and unealIed for to thus assail the junior
editor.
Steps have been taken toward the ineorpora-
ton Of this place a village, and TO have OIL
GERS appointed until others can be elected. A
surveyor has been engaged TO resurTey the
town site, and place stones on the corners Of
the blocks. The right action has been taken
by the right persons, and Plymouth will soon
take its position among the lively towns of the
valley.
Last Sunday afternoon we had the pleasure
of visit, in our Sunday school, by Il. w.
Cunningham and DR.. ~. Wright, Of Enporia.
They both, in turn, talked TO the school in
earnest and appropriate way, and. 1 think,
made an impression ON the minds OF those
present that viii lead to much good. We were
all happy to have them come, and hope they
can make it convenient to visit US again soon.
They are the first ones from Emporia who
have given our school attention, and we feel
encouraged. 1t has been rather hard at times
to keep up an interest in the school, and such
visits are green spots to be long remembered.

SCHOOL DIsTRIcr No. I.-Our public schools
for the ensuing year VIII be very much
crowded, particularly the primary department,
until the new school house Is finished, which
will be about the 2i)th Of September, exclusive
of the seating. 1t might be well TO postpone
the commencement of the term until the first
of October, If It is thought that there will be
any difficulty in accommodating ali the pupils
in their proper grades. BY that time tho new
house will be ready for occupancy. And, as
there is to be another teacher employed, if the
number of children in the district viii warrant
It, 1t might be well to postpone the opening Of
the schools on that account, as it would enable
them to make the division and classification Of
the scholars at the beginning. The ehumeTa-
tion Of the children In the district viii be made

been employed FOR the ensuing year: Miss
Josephine Patty, principal; assistants, Misses
Josephine Slocum, Fannie Yeckley, Matte
Spencer and Lizzie Shepard. Miss feckley
will have charge az the primary department,
as heretofore, for which she is eminently quail
fed. Misses Patty, Slocum and Spencer are
graduates Of our State Normal school, and are
well known as successful teachers. Miss
Shepard comes with good recommendations as
= teacher in the Xenia, Ohio, High school.

Two weeks ago we called attention to the
matter Of leaving excavations ON the side
walks open without guards to prevent persons
from tumbling into them at night. We now
call attention to the ordinance forbIdding the
obstruction Of the sidewalks, adopted by the
City Council and approved May 81, 1870. This
ordinance provides that at least one half OF the
sidewalk must be left open by all who are
erecting buildings on the streets, and that
where any persons obstruct the sidewalk in
any manner It Is the duty OF the City Marshal
to order 1t TO be removed, and If 1t shall not be
removed within two days, he shall have IT re-
moved at the expense OF the owner OF the lot
adjoining. 1t was almost impossible for n man,
and altogether impossible for LADY, to get
over the pile Of dirt on the sidewalk opposite
this Office on Commercial street during the wet
weather OF last week. Ono man remarked,
that ssthe City Council can pass ordinances,
but he would like to see them pass that place.
The laws should be observed and sustained, OF
they should not be placed upon record.

T. G. Hill has concluded, upon solicitation of
other parties, to transfer the cheese factory he
was preparing to build to a stock company. 1t
has been thought by this course all parties who
contemplate engaging in the business will be
mutually benefited, as each shareholder will
be entitled to a vote upon all matters pertain
ing to its arrangement, etc. The enterprise
appears TO meet with entire favor, and we are
confident that the commencement of another
season will witness an extensive and complete
cheese factory in operation at this place, car
ried on upon the most approved business prin-
ciples. That's what we have been wishing to
see consummated in Americas for long time,
as it will have a tendency to harmonize and
encourage all parties interested.
