Hon. T. c. HENRY has written re-
Gently for the Topeka Commonwealth
two or three letters i'm which he at.
tempts to prove that the western por-
ton of Kansas is fit only for stock
purposes. We are afraid that Mr..
Henry is making up his opinion upon
the experien re he had i'm wheat grow
Ing, which was conducted on so large
. scale as to rank him as one Of the
largest wheat growers of the United
States. II we remember correctly he
made q grand success of 1t for two
years, but failed in other years. Would
he not have been liable to experience
the same failure in the best wheat
producing country In the world :?
Could a country which made him
rich In one year ut wheat raising be
considered failure rs an agricultural
country? The trouble with Henry
may have been that he attempted TO
farm on too large q scale for the
knowledge he had of wheat growing,
The same years thatHenry failed many
''small farmer" In the same section
made money raising wheat. We
firmly believe that the western portion
Of Kansas Is just as good a wheat
growing country IS can be found
anywhere. and Is as suitable for agri-
culture of all kinds as any country.
The last two or three seasons have been
disastrous, but two or three successive
disastrous seasons are just as liable to
happen In any State between Maine

will take 50 or 100 acres and farm tceH
will flourish a. well as any farmer In

person who has the same amount In.

business. A correspondent from Lar

Oapisdi with reference to the produc-
tiveness Of Western Kansas, which
are pointed:

The Spring Creek muddle, Tues

Justices Of the Peace at the recent

In the county il entitled to two JUS
tices of the Peace, who, when elected
to fill a regular term, are elected at the
same time. For illustration, let us
suppose that the regular term for JUS
tees of the Peace of any township
commences with the spring election
of 1874. Their term of Office would
end November, 1876, giving them q
term of two years and six months.
This extra time IL added because of an
amendment to the law, in 1875, chang
ing the township elections to the time
Of the general election i'm the fall.
Suppose the same persons were re-
elected, their second term would end
i'm November, 1878. of course. But sup
pose they were elected for third term,
then their terms would end February,
1881, by operation of the subsequent
law changing the township elections
from November to February. The
frs, regular term commenced with the
even year 1874 but now we see that
the regular term would, owing to the
amendment spoken Of above, COIN
mence with the odd year 1881. Thus
far We have only spoken Of regular
terms. All Justices of the Peace to fill
vacancies only hold TO the end of the
regular term: and what constitutes
the regular term must he determined
from the date of the first election Of
the township under the above rules.
Many townships seemed to have lost
sight Of this matter. and elect one Jus
tice of the Peace one year and the
other the next. This Is not correct.
Both should he elected Mt the com
of the regular term. II
would he well for township officers to
look this matter up and see that their
Justices are properly elected, and thus
prevent a recurrence of such trouble

Dick Benbridge's Catfish.

1.-Two weeks ago, Mr.. Smith, living a
few miles from Calhoun, Ca, on the
Costanaula River, lost heifer about
three years old, and. as it was fine stock,
made diligent search, but could not find
-it.-.-A- feM-days- -aGo-a- party. of g
men fishing on the river were attracted
by the smell of dead carcass. and upon
examining the cause, 10 and behold! they
found a monster catfish. which had
swallowed the calf, and the horns of
of the fish, had drowned the fish. The
fish measured exactly twenty-three feet
and seven inches in length, and was five
feet eight and one-quarter inches across
the head, and, from the length of the
whiskers, was supposed to be III year
old. ."-Caltomn (Ga.) Times.
A Times reporter on Thursday last
read the foregoing extract to Captain
Benbridge, the celebrated mud-cat fish
erman of this city, for the purpose o.
learning whether in his opinion the story
was worthy of credence. Captain B.
listened attentively to the reading, and
then unqualifiedly stated that he had no
doubt the catfish had swallowed the
hefer as related, and cited several in
stances coming within his own expert
ence to demonstrate the voracity-
''gaminess,n the Captain termed it-of
the mud catfish. sin 1852" said the
Captain, 81 was fishing at Goose Island.
in the Wabash, with my younger brother
Tom and Jay Mix, when Tom accident
ally lost his footing and was immersef'
in twenty feet of water. AS he was 9
good swimmer, however, l had no fears
for his safety, when suddenly, to my
horror, l observed terrible commotion
in the water. and instantly saw Tom dis
appear within the jaws of an immense
catfish. Knowing that this species of
fish had no lacerating teeth, calmed
myself with the thought that, if could
manage to capture the monster, the
safety of Tom would still be assured, as
| should find him alive and well in the
catfsh's belly. Jay and l, therefore,
captured one of John Rodefer's sheep
which was feeding on the island, through
which we run longitudinally boat
hook, to which we attached our painter
or boat-rope. With this immense bait
and tackle we commenced fishing for
the catfish, and in less than ten minutes
had him landed high and dry, and found
Tom safely ensconced inside. as safe and
and sound as if in a feather-bed. We
measured his finny highness and found
him to be nineteen feet long-one of the
largest ever caught. o yes. said the
Captain in conclusion, "you may rely
upon the Georgia catfish story as being
strictly true. "-Latayette (I'ad.) Times.
