In the From the Midland farmer: The Stark Nurseries, Louisana, so lamous througout the west for excellence of etotk and extensive business, occupy a beautilul valley about one and a half miles west of the city, and cover an area of more than 300 acres. Almost every variety of soil is found in the bed or on the elopes of this valley, the bottom lands of which are thoroughly tile-drained in order to produce strong fibrous roots in the stock grown. The immense quantity of stock grown here in iy be estimated by remembering that a single acre will contain about 15 000 stock'; therefore, these grounds are capable of containing more than four million and a hall ol slocks: Our readers may form a faint idea of the extent of the business when we mention that during this year alone there have been put out 75,000 pear, 250,000 cherry, and more than a million apple stocks, besides immense quantities of plum, peach, small fruits and ornamental and flowering stocks. There is nothing new or desirable in fruits, lloweis or ornamental trees, that is not found in these nurseries, carefully tested, cultivated, and true to name. In fact, the Stark Broth ers spend more money annually in securing and testing new varieties than many nurseries do in cultivating their stock.

Nothing new or desirable escapes them. THEY NOW POSSESS ALMOST THE ENTIRE STOCK IN THE WORliD OF THE MARIANA PLUM, WHICH POSSESSES MORE VALUABLE FEATURES THAN ANY OTHER PLUM BEFORE THE PUBLIC. But to montion merely the varieties of their stock would fill an entire number of the larmir. The extraordinary success of these nurseries has been the result of careful business management, close study of the wants ot' the West, and the most scrupulous honesty und fair lealing. In hlty years ot successful business, now in the bauds of the third generation, it has been the policy ot the fum to send out nothing that was nut a credit to the nurseries, true to name and carefully tested 1 his policy was adopted by Jude James Stark, (the grandfather of the present owners), at the beginning.

(52 years ago), and it has been rigidly adhered to by the two generations that have succeeded Lim, until now tbe name of the Stark Nurseries is a certain guaranty of purity and excellence, as thousands of orchards in the west testify. We annelid a few extracts from the volumes ot letters, in evidence ol perfect packing, good condition in winch stock is received, satisfactory count ami more important than all, tbe delimit given by the varieties after coming into bearing. None but those who have carefully watched and tended trees or plants only to be disappointed, when, alter fruiting, they prove to be worthless varieties, can fully appreciate this, Mr. Jesse Lons, who lion slit trees iu 1S3G ami many succeeding years from the lounder ot these the late Judge James Stark writes us PI TSFI F.l.n, II.I.. September 2.1, 1S8S.

Horse Thief Caught. Last, Wednesday, Mr. Henry Dum- mer found the horse that had been stolen, about five miles below Eudora, wheie it had been traded for another horse, which was sold in Lawrence. From the description given, it was known that one Jim who worked for Mr. Duintner last year, was the guiliy party.

George Fin- ley went to Rossville Thuisday, as Williams hal been working there. Not. finding him there, he returned to Topeka and found his man working at the Asylum. He was ui rested and confessed to the crime, and was takon to the county jail at Lawrence. 5I.VRP.IK1.

At the residence of the bride's father, Thursday evening May 6th by Rev. P. M. Lewis, Mr. Johnson and Miss llosa Mc.Call.

The happy couple bade adieu to Lecompton last Monday, departing for Hodgoman county, where they will reside. Their many friends in this neighborhood wish them joy and happiness. Those young men, who took particular pains to denude themselves, and go in bathing, within fifty yards, and in the presence of certain young ladies, knowing such to be the case, may think they were acting smart perhaps gentlemanly. Witb us it is a very g' ave question, lobe plain, a persou who would commit such an act no matter what his supposed standing in society may be is no man much less a gentleman. We can assure them that the ladies did not think it smart, or their corporeal boing particularly attractive.

We and others have mentioned the smart actions of soma of the same parties belore, and it time they learned their lack of sense, Bell Co. have the cheapest money in tbe market and don't you foigetit.

From Ihe Oxford lleglater, Sumner Five years ago W. B. Culdwell visited the Bismark fair at Lawrence, Kansas, and was much pleased with the exhibition of fruit. Among tbe the displays was one by the Rosedale lloi ticiilluiai organization. Ha inquired if the organisation had a nursery representing this fruit, when toe superintendent said no; that their orgauiisulion was twenty years old, and bad purchased their stock all this time from tba Stark Nurseries, Louisiana, Mo.

lie was so well pleased with the fruit that he ordered a lot of trees, which have since bore fruit true to name. Many ol citizens in and around Oxford desirous ot securing some of these tree'i, ordered this spring quite largely through Mr. Caldwell, and a finer li ot trees were never delivered in this'vicinity. Following is a a it of those who received trees Geo. Veail, 100 Iruit and a lot of gra vines and evergreeus.
