A White Swallow.
The other morning while taking a walk to
wards Edelman's, we chanced to see a short
distance beyond Norman's Spring, a perfectly ;
white swallow, among a flock of about two dozen
black ones. In their flickering about after in
sects, it seemed as though their while compare
ion took the lead,—all following his Course. It'
is seldom that a white bird of this kind is
seen.

Our young friend "IX M. KRAUSE, formerly

As the population of our town increases,
new business places spring into existence to'
keel') up with the pace of time, and satisfy the
increased demands. Several new Stores were Ij
opened in town this Spring,. and it seems they
arc all receiving their full share of public favor.
The dry goods men make the gayestand most
enticing display, and their windows are dressed
up with most attractive samples of the rich and
tastefnl fabi ics which are piled up on their
counters and shelves in the greatest variety and
abundance. We notice, too, a fine display of
exceedingly rich and splendid clothing at differ
ent stores, of the newest styles and larest spring
patterns. We are pleased to see signs indicat
ing the increase of trade in town, and we hope
every house doing business -will be sustained
handsomely.
Daguerreotypes.
The other day we stopped in to see the new ;
Daguerreotype Gallery of Stemmer & Weiss, in
; Hamilton street. They have some very fine
specimens of their skill in the art on hand, and
are ever ready to show them to visitors. Per
sons who call at this establishment to have'

care or toil diSturbs their sweet repose. The

the grounds to serve as mementoes of the de

Hewers; render it beautiful in the extreme. It
seems as if ono would never tire in lingering
amid its quiet scenes. The song of birds seems
hushed to an unusual mournful sweetness, as
if impressed with the sacredness of the spot.
After we left this place we entered the old
burying ground near by. Upon coming within
this sacred enclosure, where so many hundred
" sleep their last sleep," where so often has
been breathed out the sigh, and dropped the
tear of anguish over Father, 'Mother, Unhand,
Wife, Children, Brother or Sister, we at once
saw that everything was yielding under the
tooth of time. The enclosure is getting rickety ;
numerous head and foot: stones are lying down
and leaning over, and grass and briars grow
unmolested. Something ought to be :done to
keep this sacred spot in proper order.

The Kansas Invest gat ion
The Committee apointed by Congress to go to
Kansas and investigate the matter - in dispute
between Gov. Reeder and Gen. Whitfield as to
who is entitled to a seat in Congress, have com
menced their investigations at .the town of
Lawrence, and at last accounts had examined
nineteen witnesses. The general tenor of their
evidence is to•the effect that hundreds of armed
men have crossed from Missouri into Kansas at
every election and voted, and the , eby imposed
upon the people of that territory legislators and
officers who were not their choice. Mr. Jordan
Davidson, the first witness who was examined
before this Committee, testified that he was a
member of a secret Society formed in Missouri,
the express o f of which was to make Kan
sas a Slave State—and that he had reason to be
lieve that it existed also in other Southern
States—in Virginia, in Tennessee, Kentucky
and Arkansas. Ile came from Missouri to Kan

the officers of election ; and knew of many
others who came from Missouri and voted. ;
The investigation will probably occupy many
days.
The export of Breadstuff from the United :

352 bushels corn, while in 1851, they had
reached nt the same time, 1,505,559 bbls. of
flour, 5,107,368 bushels wheat and 3,322,414

Win. H. Clark of St. Albans, Vermont, bought
last year a bushel of China wheat, for which he
paid three dollars, and raised from the same
twenty-six bushels, which he is selling readily
at $2 a bushel. This kind of wheat is said to .

results of his last year's farming. He went
upon a " worn-out farm" of 125 acres, and the
