A Kansas letter in the New York Trtb-

immense scale, as practlced in the counties
that lie along what is now the frontier
line of agricultural settlement in that
State, makes the interesting announcement
that the buffalo grass region is extending
westward at the rate of five miles year.
As this grass disappears its place is taken
by the blue grass, and the land which was
before dry, hard and unproductive, absor bs
the rains and responds to the efforts OF the
husbandmen.

Il ia said that Rev. DR.. WILLIAMS, OF the
First Congregational Church of Toledo,
called upon Hon. II. NJ. BIsuoP, Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, at the Boody
House reception Tuesday afternoon, and
on taking that gentleman by the hand, re-
marked that he was glad to take the hand
OF candidate who was opposed on account
of his goodness. OF course, DR.. w. referred
10 the fact that Mr. B. was not popular
with the Democrats because he is known
to be a religious and temperance man and
in favor OF enforcing the observance of the
Sabbath. 1t is indeed strange that great
political party should regard goodness as
disqualification for office; but is it not
stranger still that good man should be
found afiliating with such party? Why
did not DIR. WILLIAMS extend his remarks
just little upon that subject?

Neither city nor State, says an ex.
change, il liable at common law for property
destroyed by mob, though a Legislature
may subsequently recognize such liability
and provide by special legislation for the
assessment and payment of damages. This
was done by the State of Maryland in the
case of Hon. RevERDY JOHNSON, whose
house, with all its furniture and contents,
including the most valuable law library
in the State, was once destroyed by a
mob. The Legislature subsequently
appointed = commission to assess the
damages, and then reimbursed the full
amount. The principle of the liability
of the State tor property destroyed by mobs
has been recognized in other American
cases, but it only exists by special statutory
provision. 1t will be remembered, now
that this subject is brought up, that similar
claims were before the Ohio Legislature
for several years for property destroyed,anc
stolen by JoHN MoRGAN's raid through
] Southern Ohio.
