This is the natural home for cattle.
From early spring until the middle of
October or the first of November the
herds of farmers and stock raiser's
wander leisurely through the green
nutritious grasses that brush their
sides in open meadows that are bound
less. growing fat and producing their
kind. The abundant grasses, pure wa
tiers and warm climate render this por-
ton of Kansas the finest stock country
probably in the known world. The
corn crop i safe before the rains cease
and after that time the grass cures
upon the ground and makes natural
hay. retaining much of its nutritious
qualities. which serves as a perennial
pasture for stock. The fall and winter
seasons. which east of the Missouri
are marked by the prevalence of cold
rains and chilling storms SO irving TO

bracing weather. Occasional storms.
in which light, dry snow is driftcd and
wreaihcd apon the surface. occur. dur
ing which the farmer will feel called
upon To shelter aud feed his stock.
Thus this country is specially adapted
for sheep aud stock-raisiug in conjunc-
ton with grain growing. and must un-
doubleday soor become great source
of supply of beef and mutton TO the
eastern markets. Thousands Of tons
of hay can be had for the cutting al

of two or three months. Fortunes are
being made aud viii be made in the
raising of stock in this valley.

Preamble ana Re solutions

At regular meeting of the D. Y. w. Y. K. society, held in their lodge rooms in West Cornwall, March sOth, 1874, the fol- lowing preamble and resolutions were adopted:
 Whereas, By the death of our esteemed friend and worthy brother, William Green, we for the first time since our organization have been called to pay the last sad duties to departed brother, and are forcibly re- minded of the uncertainty of life, that sooner or later the grim messenger Death will summon each and all of us to appear before the Divine Creator of the Universe, therefore,
 Res0I0ed, That we feel we have lost a valued brother and true friend from our cir. c'e; the community respected and quiet cltlzen,of whom 1t may be truly said None knew him but to praise
 Res0I0ed, In our mutual sorrow we ten der to the relatives of our deceased brother our deep sympathy, and hope that the good name which our brother has left behind him may prove to them solace in thls, their hour of sorrow, recommending them to the mercy of Him who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.'
 Resotced, That copy of these resolu- lutions be presented to the relatives of the deceased and be entered upon the records of the lodge, and that copy be sent to the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NRws, Litchfield Se'attneI and Waterbury Amsrican for pub llcation., E. F. SoovnLR, Sec'y.

AeAt.
 Our town, which for the past few weeks has been unusually quiet, was thrown into state of excitement last Sunday morning by the news that an elopement had occurred the night before. The bridegroom had been widower since December last, and was doubtless believer in the Scriptural saying It is not good for man to live alone ; the bride was maiden of twenty summers or whereabouts. The parents of the latter be. ing out of town, the loving couple took ad- vantage of their absence and departed for South Dover, N. Y., (the Gretna Green of Kent,) and were there united in the bonds of matrimony. On the following morning at church the sister of the bride was 30 overcome by her feelings as to be obliged to leave before hearing the sermon, which was preached from the text All things work together for good,' &c.,, and being comforting, might have consoled her in this hour Of deep affliction. Miss Lizzie Sage former teacher in Kent Seminary, has been spending few days here with friends, who by the way are all united in the wish that she would return again for good and ....Landlord Comstock, who has been suffering from severe illness for the past few weeks, is slowly recovering MT.

Sheffield No. .2.
 THE NEWS came as usual last week. but there was something wanting in the variety department. There is seldom. if ever, a week that Sheffield is entirely left out, but this once it seems to be in sound sleep, and something must be done to arouse somebody. To give entire satisfaction, there should be items from the adjoining towns every week. It is not necessary that the communications should be long-a few lines are better than none. I trust in future this will be attended to so that shall not be obliged to interfere. .....Just at present things are very quiet in this vicini- ty, but we hear of quite number of changes that are expected to take place about the first of April. .. Gilbert Smith Jr., life insurance agent, has left the busi- ness and this place, for an agency of an other kind in New York, and his beautiful house with most of the furniture, also his horse and wagon are sold to F. o. Andrus of pump notoriety, who has probably now given up building on the adjoining lot where his own house was burned...... The High school closed last week. and another teacher is engaged to take MT. Warmers place the next term. It is much to be re- gretted that there should be change, as the probability is that they will not be like ly to find another teacher who will give the satisfaction he has. The longer good teacher is kept the better it is for the schol- ars......The Rev. MT. Chipp leaves us this spring. MT. Noble remains stationary, ,and it is yet to be decided whether Dr.. Parker of1ciates in the Episcopal church another year. Easter Sunday is near at hand, when we hope to see the church decorated as usual with numberless beautiful flowers of the choicest kinds; most of them it is said are furnished by Mrs. Geo.

 The Rev. N. A. Prince, preached his farewell sermon last Sunday, to the great delight of nearly the whole society. Men who have always contributed largely to the support of both church and society, have withdrawn entirely from both, and every thing denotes that there is screw loose somewhere, and the majority of the people believe that the trouble lies with the pas tor, herce the feeling of delight to have him retire, not from any feeling of ill-will toward the clerical gentleman, but that the present panic in the church can be reme- died 1n no other way. The pastorate is now vacant.

Matters. Away Out West.

EDITOR NEws.-Spring with all its busy slope, and perhaps somewhat earlier than to you in Old New England Some of our farmers put in their crops two weeks ago, (March 1st,) but the most of them are now sowing their wheat. The ice has left the Missouri river at this place, and the river is now open for boats from St. Louis. All the military stores and Indian goods for the upper Missouri river country come to Yankton, over the Dakota Southern R. R., and are shipped from here by tbe Missouri River Packet and Freight line to the several forts and agencies above this place. This is an important matter to Yankton, as il
 insures the rapid growth and development of this city ana surrounding country. AL ready the sound of the carpenters saw and hammer can be heard in all parts of the city. Large freight warehouses are being erected new business houses are going up and new dwellings are springing up on ev- cry street. Immigration has just com menced pouring in. enlivening all branches of trade. Emigrants from New England and the Middle States have already com menced to arrive by railroad, and several of the public halls of the town are engaged to accommodate colonies until their arrange ments are completed to move on to their own premises selected by themselves, where the trees of their own right hand planting will soon adorn their new homes. Five thousand Russians are expected to arrive at Yankton early this season. All things ta- ken together, these Mennonite and Suthe ran Russians are the best emigration that ever struck any country in such numbers. They are generally wealthy, giving them the means to open up large farms, speedily transforming whole townships of wild prai- rie lands into splendid farms, resembling sections of Illinois that have been occupied for quarter of 8 century. A more indus trious and peaceable people cannot be found. They are also religious people ana temperate in their habits They are excellent singers, and in most every dwell. ing may be heard at evening the sound of happy voices, male and female, singing sa- cred songs, and generally accompanied with instrumental music. It is amusing (some- times not little provoking) to see how. eastern people associate us in South East ern Dakota with the Northern Pacific R.
