David Humphrey was brought before
Esq, Van Eman on Friday night on Il
warrant issued by Squire Payne of En-
poria, charged with selling or disp0sing
of mOrtgaged goods. The case was adj

order that all parties might prepare for

though perhaps technically guilty, he
had done it with honest intentions. Mr..

and was then discharged. But just here
was where the circus commenced. 1t
seems that S. NJ. Bell had been deputized

''to put head ON him, so that his own

these things Mr.. Bell had sworn out n
warrant before Squire Payne and stood
ready TO have it served IL soon as the de
PENDENT was discharged. But delay is a

/ Some time since we stated in the Notes
that wheat in Americas township would
not average three bushels 10 the acre
sown. We arc always glad 10 rectify
mistakes and we are glad in this case
we were mistaken, but we gave il as our

AS is frequently the case in Kansas
and we now estimate the average at from
eight TO ten bushels per acre. Oats are
much better than was anticipated and
what there are of them will be good.
Corn never made better showing at
this season of the year than il does at
present, and with seasonable rains the
crop will be immense
