Packages by Mail.

On the first day of July last, a
law went into operation, under which
small packages of dry goods, hard
ware. drugs, Except Equid drugs, }
and other merchandise. not exceed
ing IL ounces in weight. can be mail
ed to any part of the United States
at charge of two cents for each
two ounces or fraction of two oun-
ces. The existence of this facility
is not generally known, but perhaps
some time is required for the public
to be made aware of a privilege it
has long desired.-Next in impor-
tance to cheap letter and newspaper
postage comes this concession OF
sending packages by mail. Friends
may now send many little matters to
each other. which, heretofore, were
kept back because of the express
charge& Children at school may
have needful articles transmitted,
and clothing may become as CON-
mon in the mail bag as books.
Twelve cents for twelve ounces to

rior, | took the train north. was
on train lit,erally, Mr.. Editor, not

slang phrase, where steam is got up
by whisky strait. No sir, my boiler
has not been fired up in that way for
forty seven years, nor even kind
ling drop introduced. Well, / ran
up to Baltimore, where oysters are
as great a commercial feature as
shoes in Lynn. or onions in Wethers
field. Streets are Macadamized with
oyster shells. Lime Kilns are run
to convert these shells into lime and
thousands of tons lie in heaps about
the great oyster city. Still the Bay
is yielding an apparently inexhausta-
BILE supply of these coveted bivalves
so much more agreeable to the
taste than to the sight, out or inside.
Baltimore is busy business place
Intensely democratic, and when one
alludes to the killing of the Massa-
chusettss Soldiers, April 18th 1861,
YOU will hear them say, Baltimore
is proui of her military record" A
Baltim )re audience still will rise and
cheer at the mention of the name of a
rebel General. But the deep taint o.
treason is slowly and gradually dying
out, an l the better class are nearly
all loyal at heart.
From Baltimore. 1 passed on to
the quaker City of Philadelphia,
where the political tone is vastly diff
ferent. Philadelphia has narrow
streets, but regular, and cutting each
other at right angle, so that there
is no need of getting lost. The sides
of the streets are yet high banked

MurderOus Assaults at Perrys-
burg.

On Wednesday night about IL
o'clock, Geo Hufford, who keeps a
saloon near the Railroad depot, clos
ed his door and start I'd out for the
purpose of attending ball. On ap-
preaching the street lamp, he. dis
covered suspicious looking person
standing near it, but passed along
without suspecting anv evil to him
self. Immediately after passing the
stranger, Hufford saw the shadow of
the man with a club raised, in the
act of striking. He at once threw
up his right arm, which received the
murderous blow. Hufford, although
much shocked by this blow, turned
upon his antagonist, seized him with
his left han and succeeded in wrench
ing the club from him, when the
would be assassin made his escape
The club with which the blow was
given has been prepared for that
kind of business as it was
found to constitutes a sheath for 6
huge dagger. Mr.. II. had about
$500 upon his person, and had the
shadow of tie william not conveyed
warning of danger, he woIld doubt

The corn crop of the West the
past season was enormous. How
much of it has been used for fuel it
is impossible to learn, but it is esti-
mated that there is yet unshipped
not less than 1,500, 100000 bushels.
While America has an abundance
and stands in the market ofthe world
as seller, without the means of de-
livery, England is in the market as a
buyer, and is wanting $4,000, 900
bushels if she can get it. She also
wants 100000 bushels Of wheat,
and 100000 tons OF bacon. Ameri-
ca has it, and can spare it, but the
means of transportation are lacking
There is not sufficient number OF
vessels in the trade to deliver these
products in time to meet the wants
of England.

Of the streets almost impossible, on
account of the snow which has har-
dened down to almost solid ice.
Teams were often stalled by the deep
ruts, like the ruts of mud road, in
rainy weather. Broadway, which is
about as wide as the sidewalks of
Washington, is constantly thronged
and often gorged by teams, when,
for half an hour at a time no foot
man can cross. Drivers yell, and
use irreligious adjectives. Police
men order, shout and direct, and
eventually the gorge breaks way, but
the business done in that great city
is marvellous.

carry on that business here with
profit, and you ought not to delay
TOR single month; while you are
hesitating there, land is doubling in
value here.
Do not doubt that people eat and
drink, sleep and wake, live and die
here as elsewhere have no fears but
that you will find people much the
same as those you left behind. Make
up your minds to meet trials and
troubles, as they are connected with
human life. Finally, remembering
that home is as sweet and heaven as
near in Kansas as in any other coun-
try, and with a stout heart prepare
for your journey.
sarg WHAT TO BRING
Freight from Central Ohio to Cen
trail Kansas is about $3.50 per hun
dred. and it is easy to deterinin what
to bring. Furniture Of all kinds is
nearly as cheap here as it is in the
east, as it is the case with farming
impliments. Bring your bedding,
table linen. crockery, etc, and the
many little articles calculated to
make home comfortable and cozy, as
they would not bring much at auc-
ton, and you would feel sorry if you
left them. II does not pay to bring
stock to Kansas, unless it be sheep,
as stock can be bought as cheap
here as in Ohio.
WHERE TO LOCATE.
When you come to Kansas you
must be your own judge as where to
locate, though you can hardly go
amiss. Solomon City, with the pros
poets of another railroad, and its
thrift and enterprise, and the fertili-
ty of the soil, and beautiful scenery
surr ounding, is as good point as
any to locate.
Having desire to have my friends
do well, live long, enjoy life, and
build homes for their children, i
wonld urge them to come to the rich
fertile prairies of Kansas.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 22d 1873.
Dear Republican:
have just been reading you over
and thought as 1 was so pleased to
hear from you, you might be pleased
to have few lines from me, telling
you 'sWhat / know about Washing
ton"
We are very gay here just now.
So many receptions, calls, parties
and weddings, besides our five or
six places of amusement, that we are
kept really very busy in attending to
them all. They are now fitting up
the Grand Hall for the Inauguration
Ball 1t will be one hundred feet
wide by three hundred long, din
ing, dressing and reception rooms
attached. Tickets twenty dollars,
including supper for two. Will be
a grand affair, no doubt.
Some of the most beautiful recep-
tions of the season, took place Mon
day afternoon, Jan. Goth. Not only
did the ladies of the judges families
receive, but the army and navy CO.
operated in rendering Monday one of
the really brilliant days of the week.
One of the most distinguished par
ties of the season, was that given by
Gen and Mrs. Albert Myer, Monday
evening last. The company COM
prised the very elite of the city. The
White House was represented by the
President, Mrs. and Miss Grant.
Mrs. Grant wore white silk, with
deep black lace fiounces. Miss Mel
lie booked lovely Gas usual in white
with rose colors, ribbons and flow
ers.
The State sociables are very pleas
ant affairs here. New York gives
one tonight which will be well at
tended, as it always is by beauty and
fashion. They bring friends together
that would otherwise not meet. Ohio
will give three this winter. The
first passed off we'll, the 9th of Dec.
The second will be given Jan. 31si.
The small pox is abating some
what, but is quite bad yet. The
Board of Health are doing. all that
can be done to fight it off. They
vaccinate from two to three hun
dred week, free of charge.
There is considerable talk here OF
trying to have the carnival take place
| on the 5th or 9th of March, in hopes
of drawing large crowd here during
Inauguration week.
The weather here is delightful.
More like spring than winter. Have
had but very little snow this year.
The few days sleighing We had q
month or SO ago was well used.

SOLOMON CRY, Jan. 1st. 1873.
To my Friends an Ohio:
There are many reasons why YOU
should come to Kansas now. In a
few years most of the Railroads will
be built. and the principal towns
along the lines of road established !;
all or nearly all of the water powers

ufactories will be in operation lands
that can now be bought for from IS
to $40 per acre, or taken under the
pre-emption and homestead laws,
will be worth from $50 to 800 per
acre.
If railroads are constructed as
rapidly during the next five years SIS
they have been during the time just
past, nearly every county in the State
will have one Or more roads, and as
the counties are but about twenty
four miles square, farmer living at
the fartherest point in the county
