TALL WHEAT.

Montgomery county is determined not to
be outdone Several counties have been
boasting of tall wheat, and the farmers
have presented the editors of their local
newspapers with samples, but the following
from the Independence Tribune beats every
thing yet published
Mr.. Dan. NcTIggart, of Liberty has field of 40
acres which is hard to beat, the sample brought
To oice Friday last measured forty five inch
This field is looking one half better than il did
last year at this date and that yielded eighteen
bushels per acre. On Saturday, Mr.. John Douavy,
OF Cherry, brought in sample which gives him the
ribbon, 1t measured forty-siN and half inches.
He has forty acres which is very fine, and promises
a very heavy yield.
What can Leavenworth county do? Let
our rural readers tell the world that the
eastern part oil the Stale is not behind the
more western counties.

Lawrence is the hub of Kansas, and when
anything OF literary nature transpires,
the citizens make all their guests welcome,
and treat them sumptuously. As an evil
dence of this, We might mention that the
invitation requests us to notify the commit
tee of our attendance, and by what train we
will arrive, as the people will make provi-
sion for the entertainment of invited
guests.

UTILIZING THEM.

The grasshoppers have made their APP
pearance in every part of the city, and our
citizens are frantically endeavoring to save
their lawns and gardens from destruction.
Various means have been tried, with but
little effect. Some have built fires, Others
take Il bold stand with dilapidated broom
and many dig bitches, but still the festive
hopper takes to a green spot, like duck to
water. Mr.. Broaddus, living in Salt Creek

He has large stock farm, and after

tees more than he theorises.

result.
The above il what the Salt Lake City
Tribune, received Yesterday, says, referring
TO Chief Justice loves decision, setting
aside the decree Of Judge Mexican granting
Ann Eliza, wife No. 10, divorce and ali
mony. At first We were disposed TO censure
J,Idge Lowe, but after consideration we con-
cluded that he was right. The people OF
this country are opposed to Mormonism,
and hail with JOY any public man who
strikes a blow at that institution. The
Tribune Is edited by several old citizens OF
Leavenworth, who are making bitter war
on Brigham Young and his followers.
Mexican was one of the TiiJmSS pets, and
his every act was applauded, but it seems
that Judge Lowe has incurred this newspa-

abused and severely criticised.

think Judge loves decision was perfectly

Poor Kansas must expect to suffer untold
evils from the grasshoppers, for the whole
State Of Missouri is to pray God to stay
their course at the border, and avert the
disaster which they now threaten to her.
Of course the Governor expects God to hear
the prayer Of so numerous people, and do
the thing they ask, or he would not go
through the farce Of a solemn proclamation
Of day Of fasting and prayer, to that end.
@Only an interference of the Divine Provi-
dence," he says, can remove the scourge that
hovers over the western line Of that exces-
sively moral and religious State. He must
suppose that the simple utterance of a
prayer is all God wants from man that he
is only waiting to be asked, in order to clear
away the hordcs that promise to bring
famine in their trail. Either this, or the
sole other supposition, that God loves
the State Of Missouri far more than the
State of Kansas, and will gladly sacrifice
the latter to the former. Alas, poor Kan
sas that God should be solemnly invoked
to assist in her destruction Have we not
suffered enough from our sister State, with
out the new enmity Of the Deity? In these
peaceful times, what must be thought of
this action of whole State, arising in pray
er to God that the countless swarms Of de-
vourers which are marching eastward out of
our domain, may be kept within the State
line, and not permitted to leave us? 1t
seems to me . good and sufficient cause for
a declaration of war against Missouri; that
is, if We or they suppose there is any eff
cacy in PRAYER.
Seriously, however, the Governor of Mis-
souri, must have an abOminable theology,
or a very hard heart, or both. The God he
would have his people pray to must be
queer sort of divinity; and he, himself,
must have very peculiar notions Of the sis
terhood of States. 1t would seem to a
thoughtful man that God who knows
what We need even before We ask it,
and to whom all things are open as the
flower TO the sun, would not wait to be
told that the grashoppen ought to be
smothered or drowned, or put an end to in
some divinely appointed way. Indeed, it
might occur to some that he shouldn't have
let them come on US last year as they did,
to say nothing of not allowing them
to spawn their trillions of progeny

NOT so VERY BAD

The Chicago Tribune, OF Saturday, has a
number of grasshopper notes, from all hoints
in the West, as veil as editorials on the
crop prospects from the Leavenworth TINES,
Kansas City Time, Topeka Commonwealth,
and other Western newspapers.
All agree that countless millions of the
hoppers are now found in Kansas, Missouri,
Minnesota, Nebraska and Colorado, but the
general feeling among the farmers of those
States is much more hopeful and encourage

title pest has not appeared, and our ex-

THERE are more than twenty contested

that one case the evidence fills box 5x2x-

TARR AND FEATHERS.
A Prominent Citizen Shoots a
Chicken Thief With an
Empty Shotgun.
The KObbpr had the Advantage,
However, for His Shooting
Iron was Loaded.

Twas Just one hundred and twenty min
utes after that silent, solemn hour when
night and morning meet, that one Of our
most promising and prominent lawyers, a
resident Of Third Avenue, and who makes
Justice Gardinei's court his headquarters,
heard noise in his back yard, in the yicin-
ity of his stable. Now, the aforesaid legal
gentleman keeps his chickens in this stable,
and from the fact that he prizes the fowls
highly, he wouldn't lose them for anything.
Surprising the disturbance was
caused by some caniverous canine,
providing around in search of
something edible to devour, the gentle
man whom we have reference to armed
himself with a shot gun and sailed forth
to meet the expected canine. lie (ths gen.
tleman, not the dog was scantily clad,
having nothing on his person save a light
undergarment, and that was short, reach

and slow tread, he sought the stable door,
opened it, and stepped into the stygian
darkness which developed the recesses
Of the building, cooking both hammers of
the weapon on his way. NOught was seen,
not even the shadow Of a ghost, when up
from behind a barrel sprang q stalwart
specimen of humanity and suddenly con-
fronted the startled and surprised man OF
the Law. Quick as thought the latter
raised the instrument Of death The thought
one of the barrels was loaded, but he didn't
know which,, and pointing it full in the
face of the marauder pulled the trig-
ger. The piece somehow failed to 70 of,
and with the rapidly Of thought he at

for some unexplained reason this was o

the performance, the thief stood motionless,
but Immediately after the second trigger
was pulled, he drew pistol and with i'm
perturable coolness fired it directly in the
face of his antagonist, the bullet there

ordinary human nature TO stand, and the
proprietor turned tail and fed, taking shell

yard. The Thirst for blood was, however,
now aroused in the robber, and he fred the

letters he said I'VE will now turn TO the
18th Of October, 1863 On the 9th of that
month Beecher delivered an address in the
Academy Of Music, and his accusers thought
they could safely fix upon the next day, the
10Th, as the date Of the first commission Of
the act. The next date fixed upon was be-
tween the Friday evening prayer-meeting
and the following Sunday. Seven years
ago this crime was said to be committed.
Would You believe that man
goes for the first time in his life, at the age
Of sixty, to commit the act OF debauchery !?
In order for Tilton tC wreak his vengeance
on Beecher, he walks over the body vi his
wife" The counsel then commented on the
witnesses for the defense in the case,
among whom were fifteen of prominence
who transacted business with all parts Of
the world, and whose word in commercial
circles was never doubted. There
il in the breast OF each and every one
of Us tenderness exhibited to women.
There was Il day when such tenderness ex-
listed in the breast OF Tilton, but it had now
taken flight"
Counsel spoke of Bessie Turner assisting
in carrying the children in Tilton's house,
and the loving companion of Mrs. Tilton;
a girl then growing in that household TO
the stature OF womanhood. Counsel read
the testimony Of Bessie Turner. There is a
simple, childiike narrative told by
her, and no man who heard her
speak doubted its truthfulness. Mrs. Ii ton
told Mrs. Putnam Of the ISLANDERS, and got
her to ask Bessie about them. How hap
pened it, if these stories were lies, that Til
ton told his wife of them, and she told Mrs.
Putnam and how it was from this friend
that Bessie learned Tilton had sought her
room for the purpose OF DEBAUCHING
her.
After recess Mr.. Porter resumed his ar
gumeDt. He began by referring to Joseph
II. Richards, As the man who vent before
the church committee to put his sister in
false attitude by his solicitude. This man,
under the influence Of Bowen and Tilton,
his brother-in-law, had come to this court
room TO make an exhibition OF himself,
which only Tilton could have devised. This
man had been brought back to contradict
Bessie Turner, and how did he do it
