It is estimated that the late Dakota prairie the lias destroy ed 1,000 tons of hay. The tire was started bv a farmer burning straw. Theie are various channels in which the it-publican party of New 1 iik can make the Rev. Dr. Hur chard useful the coming state elec-ctiou. Congressmen anil politicians are tun around her the mere possibility of such a contingency should make a property holder grow nervous. In another column wii' t;e seen a call for the citizens ot Iiutler to meet at the court house to-morrow evening to foim committees and discuss the best methods to induce this company to build the Emporia road on to this city, thence east to its objective point. We are glad o see the people in the townships, east of us taking such an active interest in this matter. Meet ings have been called in Spruce and Shawnee townships, committees formed and everything tending to a well organized effort is being made. Clinton has appointed committees to confer with the managers ot tin Kansas City and Caue Girardeau should immediately telegraph con dolence to the IJoonville Adveitiser and Topic over ihe loss of the branch penitentiary. tu'l in the future will add a very in teresting chapter to the Cutler post otHce contest, and we promise these young gentlemen (some f whom. by the way, are already aspirants for political honors), that we w;il take pleasure in bringing their names prominently before the pwl but we fear it will re in such a v.av that will not reflect creditably upon their biought it to town, and upon exam ination it proves to be a line lubricat ing 01. sam-jies Ot winch have hcen sent away for analysis. Mr. Hen detson informs us that he can utp up about 50 gallons per day, and if prop er machinery were applied no doubt but that this amount could be iucreas ed. but even at this rate several weds could be sunk at a less cost than one for Infants and Children.

A trip through Kansas, Iowa and Maine, wul prove to any sound, sane mind that men cannot be made temperate by legislation. The dem ocratic party has adopted the right plan ; high license. A united democracy : The renom mation of Gov. Hill, and the nomi nation by acclamation of Roswell P. Flower, for governor and lieutenant governor of New York, and the adoption ot a ringing plattorm. All mean a glorious victory for the New- York democrats in the approaching election in that state. Missouri has been awarded the first piize for the best display of ap ples, pears, peaches and grapes, at the meeting of the American Pomo Iogical society held at Grand Rapids Mich., on the 1 ith. It won't be long until the people ot the whole country Ul find out what we have known all the time that Missouri is the finest .fruit country in the world. The lloonvilie Topic and Adver tiser are boiling over with rage at Gov. Marmaduke tor refusing to approve the location of the peni tentiary at that place. Taking every thing into consideration, we think Governor Marmaduke acted wise, and we heartily approve of his action. Boonville is a substantial old town, tut htr facilities for affording em ployment for convicts and her rail road facilities make the vine-clad city just about the last place m the state we would have thought the commission would have selected.

On a statement made out by Mr. Hell's predecessor the 48th Congress made an appro priation of $Soo,ooo for carrying the foreign mails; ot this sum he says he w ill turn back neat ly $400,000. He has expedited the mail in many in stances nearly one-half and has not lost any time on the routes. The government offered the American Ship Company $:.6o per pound for currying the mail, which was refused and Mr. Hell is now gtttingthe same mad carried for 40 cents, making a clear saving of $12,000. Dr. J. M. Fulkerson, one of the largest land owners and most prom inent and oldest settlers of Johnson county died at his home in Warrens burg, Tuesday of last week. He represented Johnson county in the state legislature in the years 1836, 1S3S and 1S40; he was also at one time one of the directors in the State Bank of Missouri. He was born in Lee Vallev, Lee county, Virginia, March 15th, 1S11, and was at the time of his death 74 vears 6 months and 7 Jays old. He came to this state in 1S29. The Record sav that most of the parties interviewed by Goodwin were associated with Mr. Walton in bus iness.

Peck's Sun, published at Mil waukee, Wisconsin, is the most hu - morous paper in America to-dav. Geo W. Peck, its editor and pro prietor, stands without an equal as a humorist.

PASTY PIELTY We are happy to say to our readers and the people ot Bates county that our allegiance and fidelity to the democratic party is such that we are not compelled to be continually re minding them of what a good demo crat we are, but we let our works bespeak for us. And furthermore, we are not so bigoted and narroA minded as to condemn indiscrimi nately every man as a bolter and a renegade to the democratic cause whose ideas and opinions do not correspond to our own. It a wolt is found in the fold we will be the first to hasten to the rescue, armed all cap a pie, and drive the intruder out, but he who continually cries "stop thief when no thief is near, and raising false alarms simply to gain a little cheap notoriety, will himself bear watching. If there has been any bolting in the democratic party of Bates countv we have most sir nally failed to discover it, even after a most diligent search, unless yve could be so egotistical as to claim all who opposed us in our political asperations as bolters. Still yve sub mit to the democratic party ot Bates county and the State it it was demo cratic in any man or set of men to oppose and trump up false charges against us to defeat the confirmation after th appointment had been made. If after a candidate is elected to office to work to defeat his con firmation is not a species of bolting then we do not understand the mean ing of the term. Still we love the grand old party too well to run the risk ot a disruption in its ranks by , haggmg our private grievances be- 1 lore the puolic. and if these men who set themselves up as paragons of de mocracy, will return to the fold after having vent their spleen upon our offending head, they shall not hear a yvord ot complaint from us.
