letter from Council Grove,
Ian.-ImpOrtaut TO Land
Buyers.
CoUEcn GROVE, KS. July 3, 1874.
EDITOR OF THE NEws-Dear Sir:
Having received many letters from
your county in regard to the Kaw
lands, 1 take this as the best plan to
answer them
These lands lay along the Neosho
river, near this place; are in market
on four years time, to actual settlers,
at prices ranging from one to
twelve dollars per acre. First pay
ment to be made Jan. 1st, 1875.
I see from an advertisement in
your paper this week, that Mr..
Warwick will leave Cincinnati in Au-
gust with an Excursion for this and
other points in Kansas. Ifyou ever
have any idea of visiting this place
that will be your chance.
Mr.. Warwick is a perfect gentle
man, and as citizen of our town is
highly esteemed. Your round
trip, as you will see by tie
advertisements, will only cost you
s35.
Crops look well. Fall wheat has
been harvested and will yield from
25 to 80 bushels per acre.
Fears are entertained that the
chinch bug will take the Spring
Wheat and Oats.
Success to the Crusaders, to the
1. o. o. F. of Belfast, ,and,,to your val
liable paper.
If any friend wants any questions
answered in regard to these lands I
am at his service.
Respectfully,
ANDERSON CAMPBELL
Care Bradford, Campbell & Co.

The Tifin crusaders are very
plucky. The county andcity author
tiles, judges and all, are very hostile
to them, but they have closed ten
saloons, and pray and sing where
they please and when they please.
When ordered to ''move on" they
reply that they 'iust won't do it, "
and they don't. The marshal has
been indicted for laying his hands
on the shoulder of one of the women,
and a citizen was knocked down for
abusing another.

The Beecher-TiI,on Scandal

We publish this week full abstract of
the sworn statement of Mr.. Tilton, charg-
ing Mr.. Beecher with the seduction of Mrs.
Tilton, and Mr. Beecher's positive denial
of the charge. Beecher is preparing full
statement, which his friends claim will
prove his entire innocence, and which will
be published as soon as it, is ready. 1t is
impossible to deny that Mr.. Tilton's state
ment has had very damaging effect upon
Mr.. Beecher, and unless the latter can
show that the extracts from his letters pub
lished by Tilton, are either forgeries, or
greatly distorted from their true meaning,
it will be difficult to satisfy the public that
there is not some foundation for Tilton's
charge Still, we hope MIR. Beechers full
statement may put different face on the
affair, and clear away the terrible shadow
which now rests upon his character.

FRANK W. ARMSTRONG, Sec'y.

If the license regulation can be
made so effectual, we would like to
know why it is that Philadelphia with
a license system, has more unlicensed
saloons than she has licensed ones?
The truth of the whole matter is, the
penalty for q violation of the license
regulation is not more likely to be
enforced than any other. A public
sentiment that will enforce strict Ii
cense regulations will enforce other
penalties equally well.-[Marietta

are kindly invited to our Camp Meet
ing. Let us meet and pray and
preach and sing together-work more

will pour His blessed spirit upon the
meeting, and crown it with His
glorious presence. Let Hillsboro

NoRTHvrEw, Mo-, July, 1874.
The Atlantic & Pacific Railroad,
when completed, will form an impor-
tant link between the East and the
West Lying farther south than any
other route to the Pacific, it will es-
cape the heavy blockades of snow
which endanger winter travel over
the more northern roads. It is now
finished as far as Yinita, in the In
dian Territory-a distance of 364
miles from st. Louis-where it in
tersects the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas road.
Great numbers of cattle from
Texas are being transported. east
ward, two or three trains, heavily
loaded with them, passing daily.
Quantities of lead and zinc ore,
from the celebrated CRANKY and
Joplin mines, west of us, are also
carried over the road by this ''steed
that never tires"
Springfield, the Metropolis of S.
W. Mo-, is situated in Green Go.
242 miles from st. Louis. It is said
to have quite an extensive wholesale
trade with the smaller towns of
southwestern Missouri and Arkan-
sas. 1t is the seat of Drury college.
The central business portion of
the town is built in the form of a
hollow square, singular feature to
one accustomed to our eastern towns,
with their streets crossing each
other at right angles.
The railroad, passing a mile and
a half north of the square, left the
city to one side, causing new town
to spring up beside the old one
Though SO closely allied, they form
two distinct corporations, and each
has its own public school building
and post Office.
The A. & P. r. r. Machine Shops
are located in North Springfield.
These shops, when I visited them,
were said to employ nearly a hun
dred hands. I saw eight large en-
gines, weighing from thirty to forty
tons-very giants of iron and steel
and shining brass. I picked up
shavings of brass and steel as per-
feet as if made with carpenters
plane.
Springfield contains several
churches, and a large cotton
factory, which produces an excel
lent grade of sheeting.
Rambling over these hills in the
spring, one is struck with the variety
and beauty of the wild flowers.
Great purple and velvet ponsies,
sweetscented golden honey-suckles,
phlox, sensitive plants, and other
species of unknown name, vie with
the familiar plants of our Ohio fields
and forests, in adding beauty to
these otherwise monotonous wood
lands. n. 81. ZINK.

Resolutions of the Quarterly
Con ereuce Of Sardinia Cir
cult. regarding fhe DanvilEe
Camp Meeting.

| ctaits regarding tHe DaHV1lie
Camp Meeting.
Whereas, A Camp Meeting was
held at Danville on this (Sardinia)
Circuit, in August, 1873, by Rev. R.
A. Arthur, at that time preacher in
charge of this Circuit, which was
conducted in such manner as ig-
nored the laws of God, and the res
olutions of the Cincinnati Annual
Conference relating to the govern
ment of camp-meetings. And
Whereas, We believe that Camp
Meeting to have been detrimental to
the cause of Christianity, reproach
to the church, and that it paralyzed
the influence of the church in our
midst. And
Whereas, It is advertised in the
Western Christian Advocate and the
Cincinnati secular papers, that anoth-
er Camp Meeting will be held by
Rev. r. A. Arthur, at the same place,
commencing August II, 1874 with
out invitation or permission from any
official authority on this Circuit.
Therefore
Resolved, By the Quarterly Con
ference of Sardinia Circuit, that we
hereby enter our solemn protest
against the holding of another Camp
Meeting on this Circuit by Rev. r.
A. Arthur, or without the consent of
this Quarterly Conference, and we
hereby appeal to the Cincinnati
Annual Conference for protection
from such unchristian and unauthor-
lied intrusion.
Resolved, That the foregoing pre-
amble and resolutions be published
in the Western Christian Advocate
and the Hillsboro papers.
n. B. The above was unanimously.
adopted by the Quarterly Conference.

A STRANGE DREAM.


Rev L. W. Lewis, in his "reminiscences
the War, published inEthe Texas Christian
Adroeats, relates the annexed remarkable Ia
stance as literally true. The battle re-
ferred to wasIthat of Prairie Grove, IN Nortk-
west Arkansas, fought December z, 1862:
"a curious fulfllment Of q dream occurred
at the battle under my own eyes. A man By
the name of Joe Williams had told dream to
many of his fellow soldiers, some of whom had
related it to me months previous to the occur
renee which now relate:
i'He dreamed that we crossed q river,
marched over mountain, and eamped near
church located in q wood, near which terri
bic battle ensued, and in charge just as we
crossed the ravine, he was shot IN the breast.
On the eyer-memorable nth Of December, 1862,
as we moved at a double-quick to take our
place in the line of battle, then already holly
engaged, we passed Prairie Grove church, Z
small frame building, belonging to the Cum
berland Presbyterians. was riding in the
flank of the command and opposite to Williams
as we came in view of the house. That Is
the church, Colonel, saw in my dream, said
he. l made no reply, and never thought OF
the matter again until in the evening. We
had broken the enemy's line and were in full
pursuit, when we came upon a dry rayine in
the wood, and Williams said; Just on the
other side of the hollow was shot IN my
dream, and VIII stick my hat under my shirt
Suiting the action to the word as he ran along,
he doubled it up and erammed it into his bosom
Scarcely had he adjusted it before minnie
ball knocked him out Of line. Jumping up
quickly he pulled out his hat, waived It over
his head and shouted: Pm all right The
ball raised black spot about the size Of =
mans hand just over his heart and dropped
into his shoe"

a FROG'S CRY.

A correspondent of Natsre has lately made
the discovery that the common frog has, beside
the ordinary eroak with which all are familiar,
a shriI, wailing cry, which It utters when in
peril. The fact was proved in the ease Of =
frog which had taken up its abode in heapof
states at the foot of an ivied wall in the CORE
spondent's garden. A trio Of meddlesome
cats, also attached to the premises, are In the
habit of teasing this frog whenever it ventures
in sight, by patting it with their paws. With
each blow the frightened frog drops It's Jaw
and gives a long-drawn cry Of terror. The
sound frghtens the cats in turn, and they
shrink back in alarm, and for a few moments
seem paralyzed. But, like children over ghost
stories, there is an irresistible fascination in
the papics of fright which they themselves
provoke; and, as soon as they have recovered
courage, they repeat their pats, on purpose TO
call out the frogs cry again and renew their
own tremors. After driving the cats away and
breaking up their malicious pastime, the OBJ
server has repeatedly drawn the same plaint
from the frog by touching It with his hand
The cry Is described as cross between baby's
wall and the note Of a penny trumpet. They
who enjoy music OF the sort viii be interested
to learn from this that there Is new note reg
istered in the grand symphony Of nature.
