When between Ivinas City and Westport we were attacked by thand of armed ruffians under the lead of o; Milton McGee, —our horses and every thiDiof value taken from us without cere. raon, and we were forced lo Lecomplon as pristers without any authority whatever.— I wahowever discharged from custody the nexday, but again arrested. At the pillage of awrence immediately after I will remark hernhat the properly taken from Mr. Brown nndmyself was of considerable value, — tin Horses belonged to me and were as fine a pat as any in the Territory,—not a thing has tter been recovered nor ever will be.— Tie act is the country is overrun by armed bnari, composed mainly of the scum of the Soth; their mam business is robbery and pluder whenever and wherever ilie oppor. tun y offers, and that is almost dally. We haw had our cattle and horses taken from our Helds and plows, and Free State settlers hnvebecn driven from their claims and ibetr cubin' burned in order 'o force them to leave, and Shannon when' applied to would do noth ing in vir belmlf, but the insolent reply lies nlways'been that if we did not like that kind o( treatment we might the Territory. “Unnl the fact significant,’' that such men as le arc still retained in office here?

Yours truly, Oaics JexKiNt. Cheap Ice-Housea, Messrs. Editors : Will you inform me, through the Country Gentleman of the most approved manner and material oi building ice-houses, anil also the smallest dimensions, or number of loads, that it can he kern n through the summer fora small family ' S, 11. Bkdfqiii). Glenham, May 17th. The cheapest small ice-house is either one within another building, or else dug into the ground, provided a gravelly hill-side can he found for thelailer. If made of rough boards, one may also be constructed at moderate cost, wholly above ground. If room can be had within some out buil ding, nil that is necessary is to make double board partmons for surrounding iheice, with the space filled with shavings, inn, or saw. dust. If shavings or tan-are used, ihe space should be one foot in ibickness ; eight inches will do for saw-dust. The bottom should nlso consist of a similar thickness of the same material, covered with boards. These hot. tom boards, if laid loosely down, will admit of necessary drainage between them : if light, holes should be bored through them for 'his purpose. It is essential to successful keeping, ibat all the water running down t'rom the meliing ice, should have n ready drainage ; at the same lime care is needed that ’he air be not admitted from below. There should bo a covering at ibe top, similar to that at the sides, so (hat (he ice may be perlectly enclosed from emenor warnuM. ,f 'he mul'd ing is a separate one ihe snace msi below ibe roof must be sufficiently ventilated to allow the escape of damp or heated air next to the sun’s ravs. An underground Ice house, or, one above ground, requires essentially )lie same con. siruetion, :lie lending renui-mcs ."or success being, l.

In filling, the colder ttie ice me better, too the square blocks as thev are ciosHv t.nd no, should have all their mu-rsm-es 'tiled welt saw-dust, and a space left at i 'rw netics around most the sides, similarly lilled. .'he lop shouiu in, covered with a loot or more ot suw-dust. In taking out ii.„ .^ P ; _(j e pp,in most be entered from me top, js tie warm air admitted docs not descend ; wnde an en trance below would freely admit warm, is cenduigair. if made within anuitier minding, there is noditliculiy in having an opening at the lop for withdrawing me ice ; a door mav be made at \he side to be used atterwaros as the deposnes are lowered, if m a separate I building, the entrance can beat ibesidonniv. in which case two doors are most convenient, one above the other. These doors should he i double, with a space of confined air, which I space should be lilled with straw or shavings, 1 except "hen the nnors arc in dmiv use. Seven or eight lent souare is the smallest size that should be adopted, when a good supply through summer is desired. A strict attention to all the leading requisites tor suc cess, in construction and management, wi I secure better preservation with a space eight feet square, than one twice this size and badly managed. A very cheap mode of keeping ice, is to make a strong plunk box, eight or ten feet square, placed within a building, or in a sha ded place, cover the bottom a foot with saw dust, and then build up the ice in a solid mass, leaving a space all around o( a tool between the ice and box. Then fill (his with saw-dust and cover with a fool of the same, leaving the top for entrance. By this arrangement a single wall only is needed. Country Gen tleman, June 19. Ges.
