If he can find a church that lias jurisdiction we consent to an investigation. The recent election in Connecticut indicated a badly (or goodly?) mixed condition of political affairs. Tho Republicans gained in the {State Senate, and the democrats in the House. Brother Connor, of the Kenlland Oazrtte , will soon start on a three mouths tour in Kansas, .Nebraska, and several of the . Western Territories. lie very kindly oilers to locate lands for any and all who desire property in that part ot the count! y.

Rev. J. H. Cissell recently said in a sermon at Son'll Rend, “When 2 hear any one say ’every man has his pnee- or-tt an-be bought for money, I feel sure that I atli listening to a villain.” Brother CisselPs head is pretty nearly level on that subject Crown Point papers, jealous of the widespread fame of South Behff. Tiave unearihed ir~citrzcTi ~ of their place who was also once swindled by Oakes Ames, King of Credit Mobiliers. C. P. wants $7 worth of glory placed to her credit for this circunistanceEifihty -five years ago last Monday the first permanent settlement of whites was made in the then Northwestern Territory, which has since been Cut tip into the great States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. In the winter of 1799-1800 the Territory of Indiana was organized and Gen. William Ilenry Harrison, afterwards President of the United States, was appointed Governor. Will C. Moreau— Major Will C. Moreau — Will C. Moreau the great organizer for Indiana of the last summer’s Straight-out Democratic movement —the identical Will C. Moreau who wis editor of the Logansport Sun and was shot by Judge Dykeraan last fall—has turned up in Atlanta, Georgia, where lie has been acceptably proaching to the Christian Church, and negotiating for a fourth wife. Mrs. Workman, wife of Rev. T. C. Workman, formerly pastor of the M, E- Church at this place, is under arrest iu Illinois charged with murder. The story is that Workman was to.o intimate with a widow of Lis flock; Mrs. W. was jealous, met her husband’s paramour and killed her. So far as elicited the evidence has been circumstantial and not sufficient to convict Mrs. W.' of murder. But the infidelity of Workman seems to be established. Since tho foregoing was in type Mrs. Workman has confessed to the killing and says it was done in selfdefense. Her victim was Mrs. Hedges. State Attorney General Denny will soon commence suits, the Indianapolis Journal reports, against parties in possession of the Beaver Lake lands in Newton county, ostensibly to recover them for the um of the State, though possibly to quiet title in its present occupants. There is about 8,000 acres of this land, which was formerly covered with water, but was drained by the State several years ago, and now produces valuable crops of cons, oats, wheat, potatoes, etc.— Persons who owned property that bordered the lake, followed up its receding waters when it was drained and seized possession under riparian rights. The Attorney General now claims that the State still owns these reclaimed tracts,--ne ver having transferred her title. The occupants claim that the State never had any title as the land had never been snrveyed, i it being an impassable marsh, and the general Government eould only convey surveyed lands. If th« suits are decided in favor of the State there will yet remain a question whether the property belongs to the State proper under the old Virginia grant, or whether it belongs to the school fund of Indiana under a recent act of Congress whereby the United States relinquishes her possession to all lands within the State for the benefit of its eoqunon school fund. However these questions may be decided the possession of the disputed territory promises ultimately to cost its final occupants all it is worth.

Brother Iloss tendered his resignation as Purchasing Agent, which was accepted, and Brother George Major was elected his successor, Vice President Charles II; price offered the following resolutions, which were adopted: Whereas Hon. Jasper Packard, whom the electors of th> Eleventh District of Imli ana have thrice honored willi a seat In the United States Congress, pledged himself to lend his voice and give his vote in favor of retrenchment; and, Whereas lie violated his promise and gave his vote for tho salary swindle bill, introduced 'Ttt 'Congreffl by Hon. B. F. Butler; therefore, . - ...ttemlvrd- T** l oTproaq nm nngnall tied condom nation at his voting for a measure whereby the expenses of the Government were greatly increased, and whereby members of tho 42d Congress drew from tho United States Treasury $5,000 each for services they had previously received pay for. Resolved That he has proved unworthy of the confidence and trust reposed In him by Iris constituents, and we demand that ho resign.

South Bend is only half civilized while it continues to endure “horning”* seranades. The Baptists of Elkhart havo recently added £4OO in improvements to their church. The Sun is certain that Hebron is able to support a graded school and that l itß interests demand one. William Gentry, of Maxinkuckee, got tired of lifo and ended it with arsenic on Tuesday of week before last. Tbe aggregate snow fall in Laporto county since the 14th of November 1872, is estimated at eight feet . , Gen. Packard is spending his $5,000 stealings down in Florida. Laporte friends arc anxious to ovate him when he comes home. All kinds of plain printing done at this office as cheaply and in as good manner as it can be done in the West. Do not send orders and money away from home, but call and see James, & Healey, llcnsselaer, Indiana. St. Joseph county boasts of two bibles printed on 1755 and 1743 respectively, and in a good state of preservation. Guess they are not often read. Laporte city is a good place for those who lovo to pay taxes to live in. The city levy is only $5 eaHi for every man, woman .and child, over five years old, in the corporation. Affine iron bridge is to be put across the St. Joseph river at Mishawaka, during tbe coming summer, in place of the wooden structure that has been good enough for twenty-five years. On Wednesday and Thursday of last week the citizens of Lowell were furnished with excitement occasioned by the eburbh trial where Elderj Shortridge, of the Christian church, was arraigned* on divers charges of immorality. The Elder clearly vindicated himself and set his accusers at naught. —Hebron Sun. Geo. York, of Union township, Marshall county, was thrown out of his wagon near Plymouth, week ago last Wednesday, afid received injuries that caused his death three days afterwards, lie was an old substantial citizen and highly esteemed. Dr. A. J. Richardson, of Madison county, claims to have discovered that Seneca snake root, or white blpssom, is the cause of milksickness. He wauted the legislature to pay him $1,090 for his discovery,. but they wouldn’t, which made him mad and now he divulges the secret.for nothing.

From Kansas.

Winfield, Cowley coirtity, KfL April Ist, 18/3. Editors Union: 1 This is a nice country. Timber isllot as plenty ns I have seen it, but woodTMitl-luiTiherare.notdear. Winfield Is a beautiful town, situated oil the east bank of Walnut river, ami is about as large' ns Rensselaer; hut there is more business transacted in the way of selling goods and buying produce in one day than in your place in n week. It is the county seat and growing rapidly, new buildings being constructed at an average of four a week. The buildings are mostly frame, though some are fine brick edifices. This county is well supplied with mills—there are five running now—one a fine four story stone with six run of burs. There is a splendid water power at this place without raeeor dam; it is Obtained by tunneling across a bend about 290 feet and—the fall is sufficient for a mill every two or three rods. Three saw mills run night and day to supply the demand for lumber. Building stone of best quality, square and nice, is delivered on the ground for £3 per cord.— Cowley county cast of Winfield is beautiful rolling prairie with stone cropping out in ledges and for this reason is not so good for farming purposes as that west of town on the opposite side of the river, yet anywhere within a mile of town the price of land is $75 to SBO an acre. Across the river is line table land of black loam and no stone to be found. The timber is confined to a narrow strip along tho river.

T arrived here the first of March and found farmers plowing. When I left Jasper county ice and snow was covering the ground. There lias been neither snow nor ice here since I came except a light Hurry from the north last week, when about half an Inch of snow fell and the ground froze about two inches deep. The cold only lasted three days, hut a great many potatoes that had been planted were destroyed in the ground. Now the weather is about like that in May With you. Health is good and doctors are making a very poor living at present; lawyers have nothing to do either; hut mechanics have more work than they can manage. There are twenty carpenters, live brick layers, five stone masons, five plasterers and two flue builders here, all busy and all have more work engaged than they can do for some time to come. March 31st a dust storm came rolling in from the west. —a phenomenon that has not been witnessed for six-teen—years-before. —When it struck , the town, signs, boxes, barrels, and every loose thing had to go. This happened at four o’clock in the evening and it became so dark as to make it necessary to light up with lamps. W ind blows some here but this can he borne better than so much snow, rain and mud. The prairie begins to look green in the distance and cattle now get a bite of fresh grass. Farmers have most of their graln sown and some have pilantcd a little corn; others are read} to plant. And yet this is said to be a late spring—six jveeks later than usual. To close. I would not advise any one to come here without money! This is a fine country, hut it takes money to live here. The law's of Kansas are such that nothing can be collected by suit. That is, a man may own liis thousands and yet not a cent can be collected from , Idm by law. For this reason there is not much trusting done. But come if you have plenty of money and want good, cheap lands. N. C. W. Enclosedwith the above letter j came a market report from which , we have room for only the following selections: A Teas $1.25 to $1.75 per pound; coffee 33J cts; sugar 14 to 20 cts; butter 25 ets; eggs 10 cts a dozen; green apples 82.50 , a bushel; potatoes $2.25; - beans $5; I corn 25 cts; oats 40 cts; wheat 82.50; j flour $6.50 per ewt; corn meal $1.10; wood $3 per cord; pine lumber $35 to $75 per M; native lumber S2O to $2-5 per M; lard, shoulders, sides and hams from 12J to 15 cents a pound. A friend in southeastern Kansas, Crawford county, writes a private letter also under date of April Ist, from which we take tho liberty torn ake the following extracts:' Last night it jained great torrents of water upon us and w r et the ground so thoroughly and flush we cannot plow to-day. According to sigus this is an extraordinary “dry moon,” its own drought being caused by emptying its surplus floods upon the earth! Superstitions are as rife here as anywhere, but I think a little more modest and polite than further East and among the scenes of my childhood in New England. We have sown oats, but this spring is backward, and the season, since December, fitful and irregular. The first eokf weather was from December 23d to New Years. The next from 20th of January to close of that month. In February we said “this is an early spring;” some plowed for oats; but the last of that month another cold snap gave surety that winter was not dead. When this was past grass grew cm the prairies, migrating birds winged the skies, clouds looked thawed and fleecy, reptiles piped in pools, and cattle spread themselves in lazy quiet to enjoy the noonday sun. About the middle of March a severe and unexpected change came, with snow and ice, which done more damage than any previous winter weather. I was at Girard lately (the county seat) and found business dull. Rents are cheap, and stores and rooms to rent. .. Produce brings merely nominal prices—salt pork 4to 5 cents a pound; corn slow at 12}, it must be choice and select at this price: oats .10 to 12 cents; wheat $1.40; and flour $5.50 to sf> per sack of 98 pounds; potatoes for food 36 to 40 cents a bushel, for seed $1.75 to $2; eggs 5 to 7 cents a dozen.
