In consequence of the late heavy rise in the different streams, the Eastern mail due Friday morning failed to arrhe, and wo there fore give our readers ono day's less news than usual. The Western etago has also failed to arrive. m m AnniVED. Friday eening, of last week, the machinery for Drown k Woodward's Steam Flouring Mill arrived in town. The building was ready for it, and in a few weeks, the staff fflif, of a first class quality, will be issued from it. This firm will do a big business. , Another Goon Bor Gok!

He was a good boy in ever respect, and tho accounts of his behauor in the fight will be a source of consolation to his bereaved rvawnts, f i m ID" The rain of last Sunday night deluged everything. The Ogden bottom was covered with water, and the streams in that neighborhood blocked all travel. Tho -water had scarcely abated, when another all-night shower, on Wed Besdaynight, swelled the streams and inundated the bottoms. Three-Mile and Seven-Mile Creeks had each from six to ten feet of water in their channels. The Republican was bank full. JjThe article on our first page, headed the " State of Kansas," was condensed by the Law rencc State Journal from a pamphlet entitled. "A Colony for an Indian Reserve in Kansas." After you get through with this paper, send it to some friend in the East not one shonld be wasted. Tho little table of rain which we pub lish in another column is worth thousands. The Ottowa Indians have a colonization scheme on foot, in charge of their agent, the Rev. C. C. Hutchinson. Tine District School. The District Clerk has ehown us the Report of Mr. Field, for the term which closed last week. The Report is well made 4jj, and is very interesting. From it we learn that thertJire eighty scholars enrolled forty-six males, asd thirty-four feBsales their average dailjr attendance being fifty-two; in age they range between four and eighteen years. Parents who attended their examination on the last day of school, speak of their progress, aad commend 3Ir. Field highly for his success. m m t Reugiocs.

' THE AMOUNT OF RAW THAT HAS FALUN AT F0RT3nILlY nWOTlSSf. k J3clow:we .give s table of, the amount of raia that haajallen in this -vicinity since 1855, as compiled by DrT.FT P. Drew, at Fort Riley. By comparison with tables prepared -by the Smithsonian Institute of the amount of rain that has fallen in the different" States, daring the months of May and June of this year, we find that but one State had more xaln in'May, Ver mont, and but two had more in(Jaa&New Jersey and Michigan. As it "is stated that it takes but sixteen inches of ram to insure a crop in this State, it will be readily- seen by this table how erroneous is the idea that we are subject to a drouth and a consequent fail ure of crops, as in but one year out of eight has there been less than that amount, while the next least amount has been seven inches above that. We are only subject to drouth, as all other 'States arid countries are, at .irregular periods of great length. Minnesota is now suffering more severely from want of rain than Kansas did in 18U0, and any State in the Union is liable to the same misfortune. We arc under many, obligations to the Doctor for this valuable report.

A young lady in New York State sends us the following new version of "John Brown," which is quite popular in that region. The words are pretty, and the sentiment the best we have seen adapted to this popular piece or music : To the Ladles of the Bine Stocking Club. 8T cuarles rurrEB. Where tho starry bannereof theUmon army stand, Over hill and valley, and along the Dixie strand, Soft appeals are coming to the ladies of the land, For the brave, brao Volunteers. Glory, glory, Hallelujah, fco. Valley Forge remember, and the ashes laid below, Tell the bruve old legion of the foot prints in the snow, Then merrily click tho needles, as tlio echoes come and go, For the brave, bravo Volunteers. Loving eyes are dewy as they ripple o'er with tears; Gentle hearts are thrilling with a thousand shad owy fears ; Fairy hands are knitting for the brave Volunteers; For the brave, brac Volunteers. Tenderly we're dreaming of the long, long ago, The lady of herloer, and the lassie of her beau. But every ouo is dreaming of the faces that we know, In the brave, brave Volunteers. L. Far away in Diie land, when the soldiers fall. Jinny a grateful tongue upon our names will call, Breathing a farewell, and a blesing for you all, From tho brave, brave Volunteers. Then from the Atlantic to the wide Pacific shore, Ladies, with 3 our loving fingers, knitting ever more, Labor for the army, as your mothers did of yore, For the bra e, brave Volunteers.
