STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The teachers of Kansas held their
seventh annual meeting in Leavenworth
this week. The attendance was general
from all parts of the State, and the ad-
dresses by different persons, together
with the discussions of the various
topics brought before the Association,
were able and to the point.
We had the pleasure of attending a
portion of the proceedings and have
scarcely ever seen a moro intelligent
looking body of men and women than
this State Teachers Association. In
fact we felt proud of our Kansas school
teachers. There was no appearance
among them of that pedantic character
so often ascribed TO school teachers.
They were an intelligent, earnest look
ing set of people, who seemed to APP
preciate the great importance of the
work in band.
The proceedings were of the deepest
interest, and the speeches and lectures
exhibited an advanced degree of prac-
teal and sensible views on educational
questions.
We have not room for even 8 lengthy
synopsis of the proceedings, but give
the resolutions passed, and the officers
for the ensuing year. The place select
ed for the next session of the associa-
ton is Topeka.

PLYMOUTH.
A Fearful Buffalo Hunt.

The party that left here some three
weeks ago for buffalo hunt, consisting
of VIM. Eikenberry, George Lambdin,
and four others, returned last (Tuesday)
evening, having had very rough time
of ii. When they were fairly in the
buffalo range, and among innumerable
numbers of them, and were predicting
a fair day on the morrow, and were
prepared for grand hunt, they were
oVertaken by one of the most severe
storms they ever experienced, either on
or off the plains. A terrific wind du-
and left them exposed to pitiless dri-
wing north wind. BY almost superhu-
man exertions they re-pitched their
tent, and placed the wheels of their
wagons on the corners, and in order TO
keep from freezing to death they were
compelled to burn their feed-boxes,
provision boxes, and boxes they took
along to pack meat in, and as last re-
sort burned Eikenberry's wagon box.
And thus they managed to pass the long
and Lambdin had their feet pretty bad
ly frozen, while the others were more
or less touched with the severe cold.
The two parties whose names are mem
toned have hunted buffalo time and
again, and are free to say that they new
er experienced such severe storm be-
fore. Although they were surrounded
by countless numbers of buffalo, it was
utterly out of the question for them to
use their rifles.
They state that a party of hunters
were out beyond where they were, who
were lost for eight days, one of the par
ty losing pair of mules by starvation,
and themselves almost suffering death.
fear the whole story has not been
told. Others must have suffered even
more than those heard from. We will
let the "oldest settler"> rest on this
storm. He has been driven into terra
Jfrma to a depth sufficient to prevent
his being offensive. "a. G. o. p"

EUREKA ITEMS.

Philbrick & Co. have started a new
livery stable; they own several nice
teams.
Business has been changing some
what within the last few weeks. The
dry goods firm of Durkee s. Biggs has
sold out to Mr.: Rizer, OF Lawrence, a
brother of Col. Rize4 of Eureka.
From j. E. Olmstead, of Eureka, we
learn several interesting items of the
wheregoings and whatdoings of the
people of that irrepressible little burg.
Mr.. Olmstead says they will have a
railroad there before two years, at most,
from Fort Scott. If this is so, (and we
believe it ISL Eureka will come out of
the ''kinks" in a hurry.
Mr.. Olmstead says the principal ex-
element, during the Holidays has been
caused by number of good, sensible
fellows, who thought it was not good
for them to be alone any longer, and
got married. He mentioned several of
these lucky individuals; among others
we noted the names of Johnny Adare
and Frank Olney, and last, but not
least, S. G. Mead, the venerable editor
of the Herald. We received informa-
ton some time ago that the Herald
was going to renounce bachelordom,
but thought this was entirely antag-
onistic to the far famed representative
of this excellent champion of bachelors
rights. We hope the Herald will ac-
cumulate largely in years to come.

Three Clarke newspapers in the State
sing Syren songs to the settlers for
their support, because Sidney, they'say,
is the settlers friend. The settlers judge
the "great statesman" by his acts, rather
than by the "promising" literature of
his three newspapers, and can't see it.
Most of them go against Sid. to the sor-
row of his three newspapers.

A FAMILY DIFFICULTY IN MISSOURI
The AtchisOn Champion of Thursday
contains the following item:
On Wednesday last, James Matthew
Cline, son of VIM. Cline OF Smithland,
Jackson Co. Missouri, was married to
Miss Rule, sister of John Rule, living
near Smithland. On Thursday as young
Cline was on his way to his fathers
house, he was met by Rule, who DELHI
erately shot him, discharging at him
heavy charge of 10 buck shot, which
took effect in his right arm, literally
tearing it to pieces, and in his side. Cline
fingered in great agony until Saturday
the oath, when he died. Rule gave
himself up to the authorities at Holten,
Immediately after committing the deed,
and was released on $500 bond.
The parties to this fearful tragedy
were in good standing. Cline had a
good home prepared for his wife, and
was well to do for young man. He
was member of the Masonic fratern-
ity and is to be buried by the Brother
hood.

The Senatorial question is decidedly
mixed. None of the candidates are able
to tell anything about their bearings"
A few first class systers are on the track.
Kansas has had enough of that kind,
and they will be knocked out of the
water and left "high and dry" All
sorts of scheming is going on. 1t will
probably not avail much. The MEM
beers, so far as we know, are for fair
and square fight and a man that can be
elected on his merits. We are of the
opinion that ;. j. Crawford has more
strength to start on than any man in the
field. In this we may be mistaken, but
that's the way we figure the thing.

The order for their removal surprised

Denmark" about this matter, and we
hope it will be fully sifted. The set
