Mr.. s. l.. NcBurney writes to the IntelH-
gencer from Trading Post, hansas, April % !:
II do not know that a word from this part of
the world would interest you or your readers,
but will try and gee. noticed in last weeks

raspberries aud Strawberries, If nothing hap.

not produce tame grass, but find 1t is q mis-
take for ] have some as fine clover, blue
grass and timothy on my place as 1 had In
Lafayette. Our early planting Of garden is

are. it seems, some of the meancst kind OF
black sheep among them. 1t il. generally
considered to be tolerably, or rather intol

dead nigger's eyes.' We doubt, however
whether or not that is quite as mean ~ steal

the graves Of our dead This is what Mr.

to such AN extent as to have become q nuts
