SUNDAY was very cold day, in UNI
adorned English; so much so, indeed,
that the congregations at the different
churches were seen to pay more atten-
ton to the stoves than to the minister.
YESTERDAY all the schools again
opened. This might have been known
from the fact that there were large
number of small shoes and boots that
either were got on with great difficulty
or not got on at all.
A YOUNG lady sends US her plant, in
that her lover who said he valued her
higher than all the world, now shrinks
from calling OH her because of the pro.

would call such n young man. My
dear young lady, just call him gander
who feels that there is a "siirinkdge IN

SOMETHING DARK HERE.
A Whole Family sudd emily Disappear.

Some four weeks ago several fami-
lies, four in all, left some point in Cen
trail Kansas to emigrate to this county.
They had been neighbors for many
years, and their interests were the
closer identified, from the fact that
they had bought homesteads out of the
same section of land, worked it in
common, and in one instance cupid
had played the deuce with two young
hearts of two of the families, and Hy-
men had been called i'm to square mat
tiers, which gave another knot to the
tie of interest between them. Well,
as we said before, they emigrated to
this county, travelling together for two
weeks OH the road, the same AMIGA
BILE relation existing as had existed
between them as neighbors in Kansas.
At the end of two weeks they en-
camped some ten miles north of this
city, and about nine o'clock, as related
by our informant they all made down
their beds in their wagons, and went
to sleep. There was no unusual noise,
that our informant heard in the night,
as he said his sleep was much broken
and anything "out of the way" to use
his own words, would have caused him
to examine intothe matter. What was
their surprise, then, on getting up in
the morning to find one of the wagons
empty of the occupants who went to
sleep in it the night before.
A further investigation developed the
disappearance of the horses, and al
though most careful search of many
miles, which consumed the whole day,
no trace OF the family, consisting Of
five members, man, woman and three
children, whose ages ranged from ten
to fourteen, could be found Two
weeks have transpired since the event
reported, ana nothing has been heard Of

Nor few husbands, after coming
home through the dust to dinner, were
heard TO say TO their wives: "Pb cub
hobe anb mech to kecb inb." They
had certainly been taking something
up their nose.
EVERY man passed along the street
yesterday with his hand to his hat,
and If you had considered 1t human TO
ask him what 1t was for, the reply
would have probably came from the
toe of his boot.
LADY was observed yesterday in
her yard apparently in search of some
thing, which was suddenly explained
by top blowing off of one of the
openings to a roof and dropping just
in front of her, when she remarked,
"That's just what l was looking for,
an ironing board" and she picked it
up and carried it in the house with a
smile that was melting.
Major Barley, our newly elected
Sheriff, who has inaugurated the exer-
else of his official functions by a graft
flying show of vigor and vigilance, ha,
appointed the following gentlemen as
his deputies, all of whom will be re-
cognized as executives, who will second
their chief with intelligence and firm
ness: Captains Junius Peak, Il. $. Floyd
and J. M. Chapman.
Sheriff Barley is DESTROYS of having
the stock raisers and farmers of this
county to cooperate with him in rid
ding the county of the banditti who are
Systematically and OH an enormous
scale robbing the county almost daily
of stock. The wisdom of this is glar-
ingly patent, and we are CONFIDENT that
the very moment the farmers of this
county see and feel that the ministers
of the law ask their confidence and fell
lowship in the execution of the penal
code upon the dismantlers of their
laws, that they will come forward and
aid in disburdening the county of a
grade of villainy that initiates vastly
against its growth, and is a bar to its
proper security.
