Mr.. Anthony Kimber has received
FROM lady, member of the Society
Of Friends, now in Kansas, letter to
the following effect:
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, 10th Month IT,
lS79.-DEAR FRIEND: We find that
the newspaper reports of the suffsrings
and outrages practiced upon the poor
freedmen in Mississippi and other
southern States have by no means
been exaggerated, but can rather say
that "the half has not been told us!''
Ihs latest atrocity that has reached us
ls mat OF young refugee who came to
this state at the commencement of the
exodus, worked diligently, saved one
hundred dollars, and returned to Mis-
slssippl to marry AID bring back his
bride. The very night after the mar
riage he was dragged from the house
6y masked Regulators, both arms cut
OIL above the elbows, and left on the
ground bleeding to death, while his
cruel murderers with fearful oaths,
tauntingly exclaimed, Snow 20 and
take your wife to Kansas and earn q
living for her," He was Republican.

Large supplies of bedding and clothes
are being contributed, yet there is
room for much more, and there will be
great suffering from cold and hunger
during the coming winter unless a Wig
orous and more extended effort be made
for their relief. Among the things
greatly needed Imay mention earthen-
ware and crockery. Of the many con-
venient things in this line they are ut.
terly destitute--bowls, mugs, cups and
saucers, plates and dishes; of tin ware
also-cups, plates, pans, etc. Canst
thou send us on these? Perhaps q
crate of cheap crockery could be pro-
cured OF an importer, just as packed in
England; better than being packed
with other articles. 4
Thy friend, ELIZABETH L. CoMsTocK.
