The murder of Col. r. d. Anthony. the
editor of the Leavenworth Times and
the Postmaster of that city, recalls the
days of border-ruffianism in Kansas, and
is q stain on the civilization of that State.
1t was the result of newspaper quarrel.
Efforts were made to force him into per-
sonal encounter by insults and abuse, but
these failing be was followed to the theatre
BY a brace of ruffians and shot His muir
derer was the editor of another paper in
the city with whom Anthony had had some
controversy of personal nature.

The rumors of the retirement of Secre-
tary Fish are contradicted on high author
ity. The New York Times says: 1--WE
suppose that any statements which the
Washington Republican may choose to
make touching the intentions of Cabinet
officers are hardly worth contradictine !;
but as the recent rumor started by that
journal that Mr.. Secretary Fish is to re-
sign his post on July has attracted some
attention, it is. perhaps. as well as to say
that there was never any authority for it,
and that the fact is the opposite of what
has been represented. Mr.. Fish's retire
ment from the Cabinet at the time men
toned, or any near date, is an event as
little to be expected as it is to be desired"

Moore L Parker will this week

enlargement of their theatre build

an addition to the rear of the pres

Some wear the former one on the little

pended by chain from the neck. and
others lay it carefully away among

THE STORM.
The v1ianesota ssBlizzar1s' Of Two
Years Ago Repeated.

About midnight Friday night by
far the worst storm of the season set
in. In many particulars this storm re-
sembles that which commenced two
years ago to-day, and in which so many
persons lost their lives on the wastes of
our great prairies on the frontier. I'm
like that storm, which sprung up sud-
denly in the afternoon, this commenced
at night, when people were safely
housed, and therefore no loss of life is
to be apprehended.-
Preceding the storm the weather
moderated rapidly, and Al the time the
snow commenced falling, the
thermometer stood above zero,
while the air was perfectly
still. The snow continued to fall easily
and moderately until day break. some
thing like two inches in depth having
fallen. At that time the wind COM

Of the day the force of the wind subsid-
ed a little, though the cold has been
steadily increasing, the thermometers
registering several degrees below zero
this afternoon.
In the city business has been stag
nant and the streets comparatively
deserted, every ybody so far as possible
remaining indoors. The large snow
plow on the street railroad was brought
out at an early hour and the track
cleared, and by doubling up horses
regular trips have been made.
The storm seems to have extended
. far beyond the limits of this State

Shortly after the court convened.
Thomas u. Shearman, accompanied by
two clerks who bore packages of docu-

briskly into the room, and, approaching
the Judges. explained in whisper the
cause Of the delay of his associates, and
asked further grace Of . moment or
two. Before Mr.. Shearman could des-

slight noise at the doors caused all eyes
to turn in that direction. and the first
genuine sensation of the day was felt
when Henry Ward Beecher, accompa-
MED by his two sons, WAS seen to enter.
Instantly the room was filled with
whispered comments on his personal
appearance and expression. There
was nothing strange in
either the same familiar black habit or
the same familiar full and rosy counte-
nance, yet every one seemed anxious to
think him little paler or little thin
ncr, and to attribute both to mental
anxiety. But there was nothing in
