The Centennial.

The probable number of visitors
expected at the Centennial Exposi-
ton during the summer has been
Variously estimated as q basis for
calculating the contingency of re-
ceipts, and the figures have ranged
usually not above 100000 to 5000
coo. We have now the result of the
opening day, and there is reason to
think that former estimates have
been quite to small. On Wednes-
day 70,OC0people passed in at the
gates, and considering that the great
mass of the people desire to go to
see the Exposition in full display,
and not merely TO see formal GER
emony, such as the opening, it safe
to say that Wednesday was not the
dav of greatest attendance. TheI e
were 7,250,003 visitors to the exhi-
bition at Vienna, which was not up
to the general expectation. There
were over 100000 at the Paris
show in 1867; 6,2C0OOo at South
Kensington in 1862; 100000 at
Paris in 1866, and 5.O39, I55 at the
first Crystal Palace in London In
1851. Allowing that the American
Centennial is to be the greatest show
of the kind yet put before the ewes
of the world, as it undoubtedly is
or will be, there does not appear to
be any good reason for supposing
that the attendance during the sum.
mer VIII be less than TO- 100000.

FROM CHASE COUNTY.

CEDAR VALLEY, Chase county, Kan.
April 81, 1876.
DEAR NEWS sickness having en-
tered our little family by which our
Harvey was indeed nigh unto death,
we have neglected nearly everything
but him.
The storm at Cedar Point last Tues
day night q week, was short but ter
rible. Charley Mead's dwelling was
lifted from its foundation, and carried
about so feet, and much of his furni-
ture greatly damaged. An unfinished
meeting house inclosed and raftered
up, was hurled into splinters, although
it had been well framed. lesson c.
Smiths residence from which he had
moved only . few days previous, q
two story building 1892 and q story
kitchen attached, and Philo Ogden's
unoccupied store building, two stories
high, 20x50 feet, and a ware room at
tached, were hurled into fragments.
I should guess that the loss to that
little burg is not less than $1,000,
Many persons were badly scared, but
none hurt. The storm appears to
have accumulated at or near the Point,
as / hear Of but very little damage
elsewhere. It was accompanied with
heavy thunder, rain and hail.
This month has been fine for work
and some are planting corn. A heavy
crop will be put in this year, more &c
ia an usual. Wheat could not look
better. Any perssn coming to KAN
sas should come now. Corn and pota-
toes plenty, and cheap work in de.
mand, and heavy harvest Of wheat
and oats TO take care Of by the middle
of June. We do not think that we ex-
agerate by saying one third more
wheat and oats are in than last year
and the prospect decidedly better
Plenty of rains last month and this
make every thing look gay indeed.

We clip the following items from
the last Hutchinson News:
G. G. Hutchinson & Co. have sold
their hank building to the new
bank. They also sold four thous-
and dollars worth of city lots last
week to Mr.. Leeds, of Kokomo,
Indiana, and All equal amount of
city lots and enough land to foot up
sale of eight thousand dollars to
Mr.. Walker, of Anderson, Indiana,
both of whom will come here to
reside This firm is evidently pre-
pa,ing for business in the water
power and wheat growing.
G. G. Hutchinson s. Co. have en-
tered into co-Dartnership with Capt.
j. B. Shane, of Abilene, Kansas,
under the style of Hutchinson s.
Shane, wheat growers and land
agents, and are entering upon bust
ness extensively. Capt. Shsue, for
merly q partner with Il. &. Henry,
arrived last week, with sixty yoke
of oxen, plows, chains, harrows and
a complete outfit. They are now
camped about six miles southeast of
the city, and are turning over the
sod in q hurry. They have black
smith with them, and employ alto
getter more than twenty hands.
They have purchased six sections OF
the railroad company, half of which
they will put in wheat this year and
the whole of it next year. The
stand of wheat sown last fall, is
now magnificent, and snch enter
prises as above indicated will do
much toward calling attention to
our unsurpassed country. We can
raise winter wheat and have no end
of water power to grind it.

Whether Col. Buck is a candidate we
are not prepared to say. The Trav.
eler is right in saying he is true
and long tried Republican, and 6
man who is identified with mora
principles. He has been resident
here for five or six years, and hi
honesty and aprightness of charac

dorsement by us. He is an able ant

THE CHASE COUNTY wHAT-Is-I7
AGAIN.


The smart lunatic of Chase county
has again exposed himself through the
columns of the EMPoRIA NEWS, in q
vain attempt to escape the skinning
which he received at the hands Of the
undersigned a short time since.
L was somewhat amused on reading his
piece, to learn that he took exception
to the sweet-scented appellation of
skunk. fl had called him q gentle
man, he could have proven me a liar ;
and, to get the "drop on me,' he
would have done it. I did not, there
fore, wish to put myself in position
to be caught in such a trap. 1 con-
fess that my communication was not
very high-toned-nor was the subject.
The force OF good composition, howev-
er, consists in the use of such language
as exactly and plainly describes the
object about which you are writing.
My description of this Chase county

full and accurate that no artist need

classical to classify him where he be-
longs. He contesses 'tthat he will not
and cannot answer my argument in
kind" He sets me aside as not re-
sponsible,-fails to make q point; but,
with unparalleled egotism, proceeds,
at considerable length, to extol and
glorify himself. Pretty thin, to say
the least. But his statement that three
cheers were given him-'tthe men all
around Eskridge rising and cheering
is absolutely untrue, and is the crea-
ton solely of an inflated immagina-
ton. Some newspaper said it was
"Sam Woods House," using these
words as a term of reproach to that
body-an expression of ridicule and
contempt; yet Sam takes it and speaks
of it as a compliment, which indicates
an unbalanced mind or q total lack
of self-respect. I had designed, al

Commodore Vanderbilt is a verv

serious; Ne has lost that erect pose
which had distinguished him for 40

His retirement from business has
already been discounted on the
