The Moutonnlsr Family

A very tine and appreciAtive audience
greeted this talented family at their con-
cert on Friday evening. The selections
were Of the very highest grade OF opera
music, such as is seldom heard outside OF
the largest cities. We cannot otherwise
describe the execution OF the NEST Diff
cult passages, by MIR. Moutonnier with
his violin, and Madame at the piano, than
as simply perfect. Music has evidently been
a life long study with them. The young
ladies, the Misses Laura and Mary, exhib-
tied the most wonderful mastery of the
piano. They undoubtedly possess music
al talent OF high order. and also show
the results OF the careful aud thorough
instruction they have received from their
mother.
IL Is difficult to particularze where all
was so excellent, but to our taste, the I'm
perIal March, by Miss Laura, and Flu
tOw's Martha, by Miss Mary, were the
gems OF the evening. Miss Laura, by re-
quest, sang beautiful song In French,
which was highly appreciated. Master
Paul sustained his part with the second
violin, with great skill. We should like
to hear him in n leading part.
The audience testified their apprecia.
tIon as refined audiences always do, by
absolute silence, even to suspended res.
pIration, during the execution of each
piece. followed by one long sigh Of graft
ticatiOn and general clapping of hands ri

Cheese Factories.

Mr.. Anderson, OF the Amerieus cheese
factory, Informs us that such factories
purchase milk by weight, at the rate Of ten
pounds to the gallon. The price that they
can afford to pay In cash, averages from {
10 10 cents per gallon. and the income
which cows there have averaged for
furnishing milk has not been over S25 per
year. MIR. Anderson thinks that cows
will not average one gallon per day
throughout the year, at least, the cows
that supply the Americas factory do not
average that. viii 4. n. White, who we
are told has been sending the milk OF %
good cows to the factory for consider
able time, inform our readers Of the finan-
elal results, including what the cows have
cost TO be taken care Of, MIXED and fed,
and the amount received for the milk ?
We want TO get that cheese factory bust
ness before our readers just as the facts
and figures are.

Chase County, July

Chase County, July %.
DEAR News The rich harvest of
well matured wheat is now all in
stack, for which we all feel thankful
to the Oliver of ali good and perfect
gifts. The last four weeks have been
one season of continual toll, yet
with all its labor it has been one of
pleasure. We were not IabOring to
save a half-matured crop, but one
well matured in everv respect; and
what adds to the whole thing, we
have not seen one stalk of cookie,
and but very few of chess, although
we have been more or less in differ
ent wheat fields for the last month.
In fact, it don't appear that farmers
in this part of Kansas take much in
terest in the idea that wheat turns
to chess. Another pleasant feature
to the whole is that none haye suf-
fered by heat, though at times the
sun was hot, yet the cool breezes
made work pleasant.
On the 4th of July We had IL
inches of rain; on the 9Th, 6-8
inches; on the 10th, = inch on the
l4th, 4 inch. making in all, inside of
ten days, $50 inches of rain; and
though during that time 1t has been
cloudy and showery and not q sin
gle cap on shock of wheat, yet it
has all been stacked, and IS far as 1
have seen not a single sheaf has
spoiled, and but very little much
bleached.
see nothing now to hinder Us
from having splendid crop of corn.
A large amount is in, and none
could ask il to be better.
July 26.-Yesterday q splendid
rain. About ten days ago the Mead
Bros. commenced threshing at Mr..
Ices, ON the Cottonwood. As the
wheat was in the shock, the show.
Saturday last had out 1900 bushels
and about 500 bushels yet to thresh.
This is not . small crop for man
who nearly does all his own work.
Many tealns are now being started
for an Increased crop next year.
A few days since wns out on the
highlands Of this county, and was
surprised 10 see the heavy crops Of
all kinds, from the garden 70 the

aral wealth of this country Is not

Grasshoppers in Pennsylvania:

From letter dated July 9TH, 1870, re.
eeiVed by Robert MIlIiken from a farmer
friend in his old home, Washington cOun-
~, In Southern Pa, we make the follow
ing extract, showing that the ubiquitous
grasshopper is enjoying himself in the old
Keystone State:
The wheat crop IN places is very light;
ours In particular Is very light. Mead
ows are light, and what we have are
shortened considerably by the ravAges OF
the grasshOppers. Our oat crop prom
Used favOrably, but from present indlea-
tons, am afraid, will be nearly ruined
by the grasshoDpers. They are very bad
with us this season, cutting our pastures,
and in fact almost everything but corn.
The worms injured the corn badly in
places, especially on sod ground. Fruit
/ Is almost an entire failure; the worst that
has been for great many years.
We have in our country quite Q surplus
of stock, such as horses and sheep. Every
person has some of both to sell, eOnse.
| Quently there are but few purchasers.
| The wool Is still in market, consequently
there is litti or no money. 1t is To be
hoped that something viii turn up soon
that will enllVen trade and replenish our
pockets with little more money.

1t seems to US that Emporia is vitality
interested in the construction of a rail-
road to this valley. Situated as she is
at the junction of two of the most inn
pOrtant lines of railway, she is in pO-
sition to become in the next decade
one of the largest cities in the State.
We fully believe that the time has ar
rived when the citizens of EmpOria
should take immediate steps to secure
the construction of q road down this
valley. Every one will admit that
within few years railroads will be
built through this portion of the State.
Business men and capitalists OF EmpO-
ria are fully aware of the importance
of q railway connection with this coun-
try. They are also aware that should a
road be built from Ottawa, Paola OF
Fort Scott to this valley that it would
effectually isolate the business inter-
ests of the two sections. EmpOria
would forever lose the trade of this
vast country.-EidoradO Times.

that he, Chesterfield, was IN q quandry,

fore the County Commissioners the other
day, and that he noticed they called him
(Terry) Sterry, and asked what George
ought to do, saying, Dir. Editor, that you
knew everything,-and that is y fact adj
united by all-and asking You to help
him out, which of course you did. But
deem it my duty to say TO you that George
ieels very indignant about the matter,

NEOsHO RAPIDS.

The continued wet weather prevents
farmers stacking the balance of their
grain, but as the most of the wheat
was secured before the rains the dam
age will not be very great in any
event.
If you want to see some of the tall
est corn yOu ever saw, at this time OF
the year, in Lyon or any other cOun-
try, take trip down this way.
The prospect for a good hay crop
has not been so promising for the last
three or four years as at present, and
everybody Is going to put up a big
supply.
Stock is doing very well and not
withstanding tle lack of corn last win
ter, beeves are as plenty as usual at
this time of the year, and Granger
like) the farmers are handling their
own stock. j. Jacob s. Sons, and Gen
Their Bros, shipped three car loads q
short time since, and last week Owen
Bros, shipped two car loads from their
herd.
The printer made me say in THE
NEWS q short time ago, that Dave
Vangundy and sons were fencing in
eight acres of land, but it is an eighty
of bottom land. Rumor has it that
John intends to cOrrall some fair one
there when he gets the fence up.
"A little son w. s. Cock cut him
self badly with a drawing-knife, on
the knee last Sabbath.
Prank Learnard says he will have
to build stagings to pick his corn from.
1t is out of reach of man on horse
back already.
in some corn fields there are three
or four or more shoots to the stalk and
some are stripping of all but two,
thinking they will get enough better
corn to pay for the labor.a,.s ... ~
-Threshers are complaining that
the wet grain wears out their ma
chimes, and farmers that it will nate
rally reduce the yield per acre as it is
nearly impossible to threshlit clean.

tuitous advertisement, but Joe enjoy
