Conard, whe in com- pany with a number of ethers left tais county for Washington Terri- tery about May ist. wrstes as fol- lews from Huren, Dakota, under elate May 26: Epirror Timrs.—Seventeen days drive from Sutler lands us in this > beautiful little town which has a pop- ulation of 1,800 and is growing very vapidly. It is surrounded with a beautiful ‘rolling country. government land is all taken bere. We see considerble sign along the sucams of Alcalye, yet the people claim it will not hurt the water. In the vicinity of Mitchell che spring wheat looks fine considering the late season. The country areund Mitch- ell is settling up very fast, mostly } +od houses and dugout’s. We crossed the Ma., river at Springfield, there we tound W. T. Williams, formerly from Bates. Mr. Walliams is looking fine aad an good spirits. Opposite Springfielden the Nebraska shore is the Indian Reser- vation reserved for the Santee tribe who was implicated in the Minnesota massicree in 1864. The land north of the Piatt nwer in Nebraska is hilly and sandy. Those cold windy days we met clouds of sand that did not please us. We will start this evening west afew counties, then north by the way of Abberdean, where we will stop for a rest. War Relics. From the Herald. Should the Wilson’s Creek reun- ion come off, in all probability there will be on the field two ot the orig- inal six-peund cannon of Capt. Totten’s tamous Federal battery that fired the first artillery shot in the en- gagement, and fairly opened the fight on the memorable toth of Au- gust, (861. Another interesting old War relict that would be shown 1s a twelve-pound amalgam gua which tormely belonged to Capt. Bledsoe’s Contederate battery and was well known trrough-out Gen. Price’s The} | army as *‘Old Sacramente.’’ This gan, according toour County His- | tory, was captured by Col. Dona- phan’s Missounans from Mexicans at the battle of Sacramento, Decem- ber the 25, 1546, and given to Lafa- yett county by Col. Domphan. Col- Bledsoe, of Lexington, utilized it | it during the war as a most import- H ant piece of his battery. **Qld Sac.’’ ! is now in Memphis Tenn., where it | was left in 1862; and where it has | been every since. | The Fert Scott Road. | Lexington Intelligencer. The deed made by Messrs.

Judge Kre- | kel, in response toa citizen’s letter of inquiry, wrote atew days ago, that the parties had taken time to file briefs, and the case would not be de- termined betore September. This intermation was sent to Judge Wat- ers this week, and on Wednesday he wrote that under the circumstances the deed would net answer, and that no step would be taken toward locat- ing or building to Lexington until H this controversy was entirely settled. | They do not regard the Reid, Dayis, Waddell and Newmaa ciaim as worth anything, but would not spend a cent while it stood in the way.

The Biggest Sh ow Yet, The only show comirg to Butler Saturday, June gth, this season, that owns its own cars, is S. H. Barrett & Co’s., New United Monster Rail- road Shows. The only show ad- vertised to visit Butler that has a name and character to sustain, and which hopes to visit you atsome fu- ture time ; knowing that it wil! give satisfaction and exhibit all it adver- | tises, making friends who will wel- {come its return. The excellence of this exhibition is decided by the press of other cities to be the best that ev- ertraveled The following is cop- ied from a late exchange: THE GREAT SHOW. Nearly everybody for miles around Buffalo came into the city yesterday | tosee S. H. Barrett & Co’s. great show. For weeks this circus has been advertising its great attractions, and yesterday’s exhibition disclosed the fact that their advertisements were but the truth. Their street parade, which started out at 10 o’clock a. m. was the largest that was ever scen in Buffalo, and took fifty minutes te pass a given point. Under the can- vas there was no disappointment. The managerie was excellent, both in number and yariety of animals exhibited, and it 1s certain that a bet- ter collection has never been seen with any circus. The circus proper was above the average, the bare- back riding, the acrobat teats, the dog show, the trained horses, the Malay gymmnast’s antics, the tight- repe walking and velocipede riding, the trapeze performances, and all, were as good as ever exhibited here. The circus teat is about double the erdinary size, iaving several center- poles, and the seats will accommo- date 5,000 people. While the day pertormance was good, that at night | wes still better. and it was witnessed by as large a crowd as was ever seen under a circus tent. One commend- | able feature of Barrett’s show is its The men are quiet, or- derly and well-behaved, and there corner’ is where Gus Wryard holds! is a marked absence ot rowdyism forth with his usual large stock of Har- | that usually ness and Saddles. 24 tt Jacksons _ Linement Gus Wyard keeps it. works Be who saw it say so. characterizes shows. arrett’s circus is a good one—all Te fact, every-j; wonders. | thing that is good with a circus was !
