For the Essex County Heral
The Worlds Age.

The theory that the worlds but 1913
years old, according to the interpreta-
tion Of the Mosaic theology, is now be-
ing set aside by Bayard Taylor, who
is proving by the early Egyptian re-
cords, as recorded on their temples,
obelisks, tombs ETC., that there was in
Egypt, fine civilization more than
1000 years ago, or little over a
thousand years before the creation of
the world, according to the Mosaic ac-
count. Had this been announced
half century ago doubtless it would
have been something alarming to the
friends of Christianity. Some time
ago closer attention to the language
ofthe sacred historians, and greater
familiarity with their subjects, and
modes of expression, established in
the Orthodox mind, a belief that the
SIX thousand year theory was an error,
and that we should substitute for each
thousand years, an indefinite period
which should correspond to the dscov.
cries of Geology. We all must con.
cede when we think of this subject, that
everything goes to prove that maj
has been on this earth many thousand
years, and that the formation of the
earth, aud the getting of it ready fol-
the occupancy Of man, must have beer
many millions of years.
HIsTo.
While we take it for granted thai
the world has existed in some form
more than six thousand years, we ap
prehend that the theory that il ha,
been inhabited by man for a longer
period than that, remains to be prov.

Harvesting is done with here in
Kansas for this year, Chat is, small
grains, and l think / hazard nothing
in saying that the grain crop of this
State never was better, either in guam
tity or quality and although at the
present time it is very dry for corn,
the farmers are usually in good spirits.
The Fourth was duly celebrated at
this place by a large collection of
people, there being an excursion from
St. Josephs. All passed off in an Or
derby manner. Speeches were made
by several of our prominent citizens
and the Grafton by Prof. Il. r. Col
kins of st. Joseph, Mo-, occupied the
forenoon. Several races and balloon
ascension in the afternoon with fire
works in the evening, completed the
proceedings of the day. The weather
of late has been very warm. The
thermometer last Wednesday indcat-

the sun. We were tbreshing wheat
at the time, and two of our men were
obliged to leave the stack on account
of the heat.
Some excitement is felt here by
those having friends on the frontier
in regard to the pastlmes of poor Lo,
of late. A few days ago fight took
took place at Lone Tree, Neb., be-
tween the government troops and the
Sioux indians during which fifty red
skins were sent to the happy hunting
grounds. The Topeka Commonwealth
of last Thursday gives an account of
a desperate encounter on the Cimeron,

small party of whites and large body
of indians when last heard from fouv
Of the whites and sixteen of the in
dams had been killed. The messen-

by superior force, and unless aid is
sent them they will be overpowcred.
