CIR EAGS.

The managers of the Mechanical and Ag-
.icultural Association OF Leavenworth coun-
ty, learning..by experience a few. fac:s worth
remembering, have decided to hold late
Fair this year. The exhibition will open
on the spacious and magniticently equipped
grounds; in the western suburbs of the city,
on Monday, October 9th. and continue open
until the Saturday evening following.
Last year the hes. and most largely atten-
ded Exposition of he Missouri Valley was
held in this city, and the manages gaining
courage from previous success, will exert
every energy, and sdop, every liberal meas
ure TO make the Fair OF 1873 surpass that Of
1872.
Perhap, the premium list now ready for
circulation vii! not strike the owners Of fast
horses 40 fsvorsbly az the lists OF other Fairs
but the prizes, are well arranged, unusually
large and varied, and wiihal sufficient to
evoke the keenest competition. The lit

faclurers, farmers and stock raisers, and
ought to secare large display of farm pro-
ducts. manufactured wares, and live stock.
Last year the fair was held too early in
the season. The products Of the soil had
not developed fully, and the heat of the
summer had scarcely vanished. 1t was not
convenient for all exhibitors TO attend, and
hardly comfortable outdoors for The. array
of spectators that gathered 'n -r -. '.si.ts.
In Kansas, 0aober Is the 4. Of autumn.
The first tint OF Indian summer then touches
the surroundings, and renders outdoor life in
day time most agreeable to the mind, while

Discovery Of n Youthful vesucius fs'

: A startling piece OF news has just come TO
hand; no less than minute description, by
more thsn one credible vi ness, Of a volcsno
bursting forth q few miles north of us. We
were inclined at first 20 iOubt the statement,

Boulder. Your correspondent having been
over that country, il prepared TO testify that
in sges past volcanic eruptions must have
been common. Cur prospector saw smoke
at a distance, which he at first attributed to
Gre in the woods. But second thought CON-
WINGED him that that wss impossible, "a i,s
locality was far above timber line. So, with
the usual zeal of a prospector for something
new, he clambere6 up and down and over
several ridges of the n;sin range, until arriv.
ing ut the place. he found himself on the
edge of q veriia5le crater. The place had
evidently once been the acene OF great and
long-continued volcanic seton, for there was
plainly to be traced The rim OF q prehistoric
crater, about one mile in diameter. Within
the ancient bowl, and near the edge, the
Young volcano had commenced operations.

rEo>PECrS OF A sKIRMISM.

For an ingrained love of fighting for the
mere sake OF fighting, commend us TO our
noble brother, the red man. The Pawnees
are preparing TO balance books with the
Sioux, concerning the recent massacre, and,
with a view OF rendering the settlement, more
in,erestin1 have invited" the Oc;oes, Oma-
has. Yanktons and P,necas 10 participate,
and the telegraph dryiy informs Us that
"nearly all the invitations have been &C
cep,ea." This Is reducing warfare TO a
pleasant diversion in which a man who is
not disposed to be "hoggish" about it, is ex-
pected to allow all his neighbors TO take a
hand. The prsries are broad enough for the
whole red race to skirmish over, and when
one tribe has grievance TO settle, why not

GOV. BOOTH.

We infer from the stirring speech made
b. Gov. Booth, in San Francisco that the
California people are becoming thoroughly
aroused at the railroad abuses which they
have suffered. Nowhere in this country
have the people been bled by railroad ringa
t. anything like the same extent as in Cali
fo,nia. TLey have been robbed Of their
lands; their Safe and county and municipal
treasures been depleted; politics have been
run in the interests of construction rings;
taxes have not only been imposed directly,
but the people have been swindled out of the
stock taat they subscribed and paid for. Gov.
Booth gays that ballot-boxes have been stuff
ei and returns altered to SECURE a certain
subsidy. He believes that the people are
under sort of terrorism, unable to revolt
again.t the despotism that oppresses them.

IL a former letter mentioned the fact
that in some parts OF the State large pro-
portion Of The farms were mortgsged TO

obtained some more definite information a.

business of lending money for eastern people.
The loan department is separate from the
bank proper, and is managed BY one Of the
partners. ii a farmer desires 10 borrow
money on his land, and goes to the bank for
that purpose, he is referred TO the loan office
where he is informed that 10 the first place,
he will be required to furnish an abstract OF
his title This the loan Office, which has
abstracts Of all the titles in the county, will
give him for the customary price-sl5. The
farmer then agrees TO pay ten per cent. in
terest for the money, with exchange en- New
York, and an additional percentage for ne
gotiating the loan. His property is then ap-
praised, without Improvements, snd he can
borrow from one-th;rd to one-half Of i's ap-
praised value. In the deed which he gives

y,EANA CONVERSATION.

The special commission appointed to in
qnire into the irregularities charged against
Gen. Van Buren,, chief of the American
Commission at the Vienna Exposition, have
rnade full report to the State Department.
While the special commission refrain from
expressing an opinion upon the alleged con-.
plicity of Gen. Van Buren, in the corruption
SO openly charged, they condemn him for
Indifference or incapscity, or both com
bined." The report, which is volumlnoua
and exhaustive, justiiies the removal Of the
Chief Commissioner. 1t is gratifying to
know tia. The interests and honor of the
Republic are now in the hands Of gentlemen
in Vienna whose characters will dissipale
ali :ears of further irregularities and scandal.
