DESTRUCTION OF The CATHOLIC PRoTECToRY
AT WEsrcuEsrER, New YoRK.-We are panied
to learn by telegraph that the Catholic Pro-
tectory in Westchester, New York. was de-
stroyed by FIRE ON the morning of the 25th.
The telegram does not state whether both
Houses were destroyed, and sit mentions that
the Protectory WAS under the control Of the
Sisters of Charity, we have hopes that the
boys department escaped injury. These two
Protectories were instituted by and are man
aged under the auspices of "rhe Society for the
Protection of Destitute Roman Catholic Chill
dren in New York" of which ME-. Henry j.

CORRECTED Christian Patriot
says "In the report of the Conference
proceedings as drawn by Bro. Anderson,
according to appointment by the Confer
ence, there is an omission of a part of
the business, (no doubt unintentional,)
which would seem necessary to supply,
that the Conference may stand clear be-
fore the public, also iii justice to British
Hollow and the Connexional Committee.
1t is in reference to Bro. Breeze and his
dismissal from his work as q preacher
by said committee. Though the charges
were thrown out, as not.sustained, or not
sufficiently weighty to have justified his
dismission, yet the act of the committee
was sustained and confirmed in dismis-
sing him on a charge not made in form {;
that of writing letter to member and
local preacher The principle thing made
very clear was not crime or serious neg
lect of duty, but serious lack of good
judgment, as a gospel minister as demon
strated in said letter."

Small Pox.

The Platteville Witness of June 18th,
says : ain view of many exaggerated re-
ports which have gained credence through
out the country in regard to the extent of
of smallpox, of which there are now a
few cases in Platteville, we concluded to
give the matter a careful investigation
and lay the facts before our readers.
= The first case was that of little child
belonging to family just arrived from
Germany. It sicksned and died and was
buried without the authorities knowing
the cause of its death. In this same
family there are now three cases of vario-
loid, all convalescing, two able to sit up and
considered out of danger. Three of the
Tantz family-one old lacy and girl and
boy-are now sick with the varioloid.
They are all doing we'll. A small child
of Mr.. James Dodge has the smallpox.
It is delicate child, and is getting along
as we'll as can be expected, with prospects
of recovery. This is the sum total of the
extent this disease is now raging in Platte.
willie, and this is the basis for the various
rumor repeated throughout the country.
We have given above truthful state
ment of the facts as they exist. We OBJ
tain our. information mainly from our
Village Marshal, Mr.. I. R. Hugill, and the
Board of Village Trustees. Sass
The houses in which the disease is 10
Gated are all in remote portions of the
village, from an eight to a quarter of q
mile from the business portions of Main
Street. They are under the supervision
of the Marshal, and 20 one is allowed
to leave or go into the house, thus making
the spread of the disease next to impos-
sible. So rs .-.-
Now, let it be distinctly understood
that there are but six cases of varioloid
and one OF smallpox in Platteville that
the patients are in only three different
houses and that the authorizes have
assumed oversight Of these houses and all
communication is cut off,"

~ The Street Commissioner of the
village, Henry Prideaux, has had his
force at work on the streets the present
week cleaning away the filthy garbage
that has lain in mastery odor all spring
Old boots and shoes, bones, hoops, hoop
skirts, beef hoofs, dead cats, compressed
toads, Goldfish skins, pieces of children,
and slop-scented mud, have all been re-
moved and "cast into the draught," and
the whole town is being completely fumi-
gated and perfumed till it begins to smell
as sweet as a pink-eye potato bug.

HGF- On Thursday last, probably while
the men working for Mr.. Stratman. were
at dinner, some unprincipled wretch,
deliberately went to work with hammer and
chisel and broke large grind-stone, in
such manner as to utterly ruin it. The
stone was used for grinding plows &c.
Mr.. Stratman had used the stone the day
before, and it was well known by oil the
hands, he intended to use it on Thursday
afternoon, but as above stated he found the
stone destroyed. 1t il a dastardly mean
piece of business, and none but the mean
est scum of humanity would be guilty Of
such contemplate deed. We under
stand Mr.. Stratman offers q reward Of a
hundred dollars for the satisfaction OF
knowing who the rascal is. 40w2

PERsoNAL.-Wm. NJ. Tomkins, Pos
Master at Adamsvliie, called in on Sat
turday last, and reported that the mails
will commence running twice week
from Primrose, Dane County, sia Adams
vile, to Dodgeyille, on the first Wednes-
day of July, next.
The chintz bugs in the towns of Mos
COW, and the south part of Ridgeway, are
already beginning to show signs of their
presence in the wheat fields. Wheat is
looking remarkably well in those towns,
but the corn is backward. The farmers
there have planted great deal of tobacco
this season.
Askal Oleson and Ole Askalson of Perry,
Dane County, have contracted to carry
the mail on the new route from Primrose
to Dodgeville They will make two trips
a week, arriving at and departing from
Dodgeville every Wednesday and Satur-
day.
This arrangement will enable the
people of Adamsville to receive the
Chronicle three days sooner than at pres
ent, and we shall hope to see our sub
scription list for that community largely
increased.

the country, five except ague there, which
all new countries, and especially our west

prairie country. All rivers and streams
of any note are tolerably well timbered,
consisting of black walnut, oak, coffee bear,
mulberry, and considerable cotton wood,
(Which is legal tender in that country.)
There is but little fencing done, the herd
law being in force. Every owner of cattle
is compelled to herd them or pay dana

principal too. -......
Coal has been discovered more or less
throughout north. western Kansas, and as
the country becomes settled this branch
of industry will be more fully developed.
In many portions of the country is found
the magnetism limestone, which is splen-

When first taken from the ground it is
oft and can be easily cut or sawed, and
IN becoming exposed to the weather be-
ZONES hard and durable.
Any person intending to go to Kansas
to settle, would advise them first to go
and see the country before disposing Of
their property here.
