In moving the Commonwealth job room, the
discovery was made that the rats had carried

have been conveyed in any other way

in the office, to filI three cigar boxes full.
Query: DO rats read, and If so, are the night.

which greets the reading of some article : IL
is reasonable to suppose that rats are edi-

NEW ROW ABOUT DIVIDING CoUxrfs.
| Troy Chief sol
our Doniphan correspondent again speaks
of a movement To have the portion of this
county embracing that town set Off 10 Atch
ison county. They seem 10 be really in earn
pose. Why will men work so useIes.ly and
blindly: We refer them to Section 4, Article |
9, of the Constitution of the Stale, which pro-
vides that no new county shall be created, or
the lines of any county changed SO as To in |
clude an area of less than AZ square miles. |
Doniphan county, organized before the adop-
ton OF the Constitution, contains but S4y
square miles, and OF course IT cannot be re-
duced In size. The Legislature has power to |
take territory from Atchison or Brown coun-
ty, and add it to Doniphan, but no power to |
take from Doniphan county.

upon her rich SOIL salubrious climate good
schools and churches and every thing else that |
goes to make q State prosperous Kansas has
plenty of room and a welcome hand for all |
| who come. The great portion of people that |
settle in the eastern counties bring with them |
considerable money. This they invest |
in land, stock and farming uten-
sils, which will increase the amount of |
| currency in circulation and give impetus to |
trade. Large numbers of Immigrants 20 al
