CoRREcTIoN.-Last week, in our report Of
the arrest and imprisonment Of Charles Nor
gan, we unintentlonally stated that John Wat
son, who was arrested and held as q witness
in the case, had stolen a couple Of coats, alss,
. short time previous. The word "former'' In
stead Of ''latter," as we had 1t, would have
made the report all right. We beg Mr.. Wat
sons pardon, and assure him that we would
much prefer 10 say good words of him, and Of
all men, than evil ones.
Mr.. j. steffin took umbrage at the use Of his
name In the same connection, and demanded
that we take back the statement that he had
bought and sold both Of the stolen coats, say
Ing that he had bought and sold but one Of
them. This part Of the story was reported
just as Il was told US by an officer of the law,
and was not published by us for the purpose
Of eliminating Mr.. Steffin, but As an incident
in the history OF the stolen property. The
parties who lost the coats, however, still rep
resent that they were both purchased by Mr..
Stefin, and he must call upon them and get
them to retract the statement before we shall
feel at liberty TO do so.

]. W. Logs new dwelling house, upon the
farm recently purchased by him, adjoining town
on the east, is nearly finished. 1t is a large
sized house, and the work upon it is first class.
The cost of the building will be fully $4,000,
which, added to the other buildings Mr.. 10y
has erected in town since the beginning oflast
spring, will foot up very near $4,000. So large
an investment at Americas by one of the old
settlers, shows that he has faith in the place.
When Mr.. 10y gets his plan completed he will
have one of the handsomest houses in the
country.

country, with view of locating, and there is
prospect of their becoming citizens of this

Of cattle that Craze upon the prairies in quest
of the flies that, If unmolested, would poster

nearly under their feet upon the ground, and
busying themselves by catching the flies, we
cannot avoid thinking how little people real
lie the benefits rendered by them.

LEcTURKs.-We have been waiting quite
AnxiOusly 70 know what steps were being
taken by the Library Committee towards pro-
VidIng US with n course OF lectures for the sea-
son which is now about opening.
We learn that the Lecture Committee have
about concluded arrangements by which we
will secure such lecturers rs will come to this
portion OF the west, under the auspices OF the
Boston Lyceum Bureau, and 1t Is desired that
our citizens should understand the nature VI
oIr engagements, In order that they may give
the enterprise the encouragement necessary TO
insure Its success. II may not be generally
known. that this Bureau controls nearly all
the lecture talent Of the country. the agent OF
which Is now arranging a course Of lectures
in the principal towns OF Kansas and western
Missouri, by which we can secure them much
lower than the regular rates. We believe It
is proposed to furnish eight or ten lectures for
one hundred dollars each.
In view Of the want Of n suitable hall, the
committee here hesitated about undertaking
the enterprise. fearing that 1t might involve
the Library Association in such q pecuniary
less rs would materially injure its prosperity;
but after thorough consideration Of the sub
ject, and In view OF the fact that but for this
arrangement It would be impossible to supply
tory to our intelligent people, they determined
TO risk It, and appeal to the liberality OF the
people TO grant them such support as would
insure Its success. We understand they will
offer our people an opportunity to subscribe
for . course OF say, SIX lectures, at the usual
price Of fifty cents per ticket, which they hope
to dispose Of In sufficient numbers to guard
against loss.
We earnestly hope our people will take hold
Of this matter with their accustomed liberali-
ty. A successful course Of lectures this win
ter, will do more to elevate the tone OF our
community, and mould its tastes, than could
be accomplished by any other means. We
cannot afford to see the enterprise fail, neither
we afford TO have our prosperous young
Library Association embarrassed by pecuniary
losses.
Among the lecturers announced are James
Parton, Mathew Hale Smith, Serious wilkins,
Hon. VIM. Parsons, Mary A. Livermore, Rob
ert Collyer, and probably John b. Cough and
Anna Dickinson. The course will commence
during this month.
