gives 800 Republican majority. Two
townships in Wetsell county show Re
publican gains. Cameron township
in Marshall county shows a Republican

unparalleled for sagacity and liberaity. ln
1872 | made speech 10 Boston in which l
broughtou' these facts, and [ then showed that
the amount annually raised by Virginia for
taxation was larger, 10 proportion to her pro
perty, than that raised by Massa from

The year past has been an eyentful
one for Buckfsld, in its mortuary records,
SO deaths having occurred, of which four
only wero within the limit of the village,
which contains more than one third OF
the inhabitants. Twenty one OF the
number were over 60 years Of age,
fifteen were over 20, nine over 50. and
one 95. A remarkable recordl The
previous year, 1874, the mortality was
10.
One fact is worthy Of notice, that our
pleasant little village is wonderfully
exempt. considering the number OF its
inhabitants, from the seourge OF sickness; ;
the ratio of deaths not being so large as
in the rural districts for several years.
The week of prayer was observed at
the Chapel and at several cottages; the
meetings being attended with an incfeas-
ing interest.
Prof. O. II. Hersey has had under
instruction a select class in vocal music,
at the Baptist chapel.
Prof Moody has accomplished a good
work in our village school. having re-
duced some Of its crude material 10 a

MANHATTAN. KANSAS, !
Jau'y s. 1876.

Editor Of oxford Democrat:
DEAR SR.-In looking over the COL
umns Of your excellent paper became
quite interested in the comparison of the
season in Maine TO that OF this State Of
Kansas.
1t seems tina; for the past few weeks
yop have in Maine had the mercury run.
ming down as low as 10 degrees below
zero and more or less snow and ice thick
enongh on your rivers and ponds to per-
nit teams to cross, while here our Blue
and Kansas rivers are free from ice. and
people enabled 10 plow and prepare their
land for seeding.
Oar roads are smooth aud in nice order
TO travel with wheels and the difference
in Maine and Kansas is so marked that
our New England settlers make wonder
ful exclamations
Ia this part OF Kansas we have had o
little sprinkling of snow. which has dis
appeared in few hours after falling. and
outdoor WORK has been done very easily,
people being enabled TO work on new
buildings the most of the time for the
past two months. We have had wet
enough Of late to give our winter grain q
good start, aud the prospects OF good
crop for this year look quite encouraging,
Notwithstanding our dry summer, and
fall emigrauts from Eastern States are
coming ii and settling among US, seem.
ing very willing 10 try a mild climate for
awhile.
Many thst lett our State in grasshopper
and droughty times are returning, finding
that other States are not without draw
backs and difficulties. We have abund.
ance OF good land yet unimproved which
can be had cheap and on easy terms Of
payment.
Our corn crop is very good aud other
farm products as good as can be expect
ed considering our past difficulties. On
the whole our old settlers are not inclined
to abandon Kansas till we prove the
year 1876. WM. Z. GooDNow.
