A Kansas Item.
Mr. C. H. Barlow publishes in the Chicago
°Tribute a stateinent of an outrage recently
perpetrated upon him in Kansas by the Mis
souri ruffians. He says that he emigrated to
Lawrence in March last, but took no part in
the political troubles by which the territory has
been convulsed, and has in all respects endea
vored to demean himself as a good citizen. On
the sth of June he bad occasion to go to Kansas
city with oxen and wagon for a load of freight,
consisting of some household goods belonging
to an emigrant is his employ. On his return
with the load he was obliged to pass through
rles rt, and a short distance from that vil
e he o upon a camp of sixty or seventy
Missourian and Alabamians. A squad of
them armed with muskets, - iifles and side arms,
stopped him, and , when .he produced a pass
which had been given him by 'U. S, Marshall
Donaldson, they swore it was a forgery;and
• proceeded to break open the boxes in his wagon
and scatter the goods about the road. He was
taken into the camp and questioned, and as ho
owned up that he was a Free State man, they
demanded that he should shoulder his gun and
march with the pro-slavery party. He rufused
to do this, whereupon they put a rope around
his neck and dragged him to the nearest tree.
Supposing that they were about to bang him,
he asked a few minutes to arrange his worldly
• affairs, which were granted. Finding a man
atnong them called Bledsoe, who seemed to
manifest some sympathy for him, he gave him
a schedule of his property, and asked him to
send it to his brother in law at the East. He
was again dragged to the tree, and in spite of
the remonstrances of Bledsoe and of a Major
Treadwell, he was hung by the neck with a rope
to a swinging limb. In a brief period, however, '
ho was let down by the peremptory order of
Treadwell and again asked whether he would
leave the Territory if they would spare his life.
Ho demurred, saying that he had offended no
law and infringed no man's right. The leader
again interposed and told him that unless he
'would promise ho could not save him. In this
strait he promised, and was given just twelve
hours to make his promise good. Ile was sent
with a guard to Kansas City to see that be did
not escape. His oxen and wagon were taken
in possession of, and he, with only five dollars
in big pocket, was forced to take the first boR , ,
and leave the country. lle says in conclusion,
that every man of his opinions who falls into
the same hands is liable to the same abuse.

bach, whose mammoth show will visit Milwau
kee on the 16th of next month, while travel

since, observed, a short distance from the road,
under the shade of a cluster of trees, a fine fat
built, whose dainty form was sufficient to whet
the appetite of the most passe goiwnand that
ever played freaks with an inordinate appetite.
Now, at the present season, there is a law
prohibiting the shooting of deer, so thellerrz
who is said to be " some" with the zinc, had to
abandon the idea of bringing him down by that
method. A lucky thought glanced across the
imagination of the great lion king ; his pet
leopard was at hand, and he could . easily con
vert him into a lion's provider, but a provider
for the lion's toaster. Unbarring the cage in
which his dangerous pet was confined, he point
ed to the unconscious tenant of the forest, who
was calmly browsing upon the green herbage,
not dreaming of the proximity of his dangerous
foe. In a minute afterwards the beautiful but
treacherous animal was stealthily creeping to
wards his prey ; who, failing to detect the faint.
est noise, so cat like was the approach, was
first made conscious of his hapless fate by feel.

spring. Herr Driesbaelt was almost immedi

soon completed the work so successfully com
menced by his spotted companion.—Chicago
