keneca Imbune. Considerable excitement was created Saturday last, by the sinking ot tne foundation wall of the Adams DncK building, next the excavation for Myers A Mitchell's new block. About 2:30 p. the upper east quarter commenced to crack and gave evidence of an early tumble. It was viewed with the greatest excitement great crowds gathered in the street the common everyday man thought it would soon go, and dilli-gently assisted in placing props on its east side; the commercial man from Saint Louis knew for a certainty it would stand at least a month in its present condition; the old settler Mowed it "might an' it might not," while the blind man and dudes didn't seem to have very much to say about it.

It stood, however, until Monday morning, when it was torn down by a score or more of strong men. It will now be built in conjunction with Myers Mitchell's brick building, with an iron front, and be more handsome and safer than before. The good people of Marysville have just been having a little experience with one Hanscoml) who, we believe, figured at one time in the whisky business in this county. It seems that Hauscorab had been violating the Kansas law, been arrested and fined that on May 8th the county commissioners met to make their final agreement for the release of Hans-comb. But the evident desire of the commissioners were somewhat broke-up when a petition gned by 1,067 names of tax-payers and voters of the county remonstrating against the release of the prisoner without payment of his fine and costs, was presented to the honorable board.

The county commissioners, however, after listening to oiie of the most eloquent and appealing arguments on the part of the county's attorney, had an interview with Hanscomb, and after a lengthy secret session the Marshall County Neics says Hanscomb agreed to let the commissioners off as easily as he could, and next day au order was issued to the effect that he should be released on payment of $245,00, the costs in the case, for which Marshall county is liable. Hon. Mr. Hanscomb, immediately on his release, went over into Washington, no doubt to chuckle over his good luck to get off so easy from a board of commissioners and where he will again engage in the traffic of dealing out. hell-water, and sowing the seeds of dissension and destruction generally to both life and property.

Barneston is situated on the Big Blue river, said to be the finest milling stream in the It is certainly one of (lie finest building sites to be found any where, and no better chance can be found for business investments, either in trade or manufacture, than at this new town. It is located 15 miles north fiom Marysville, in the eentrr of the former Otoe Indian Reservation, considered the finest agricultural lands in the LTuited States. As a railroad center Barneston is destined to be an important one.

The stone quarries situated in this part of the State are admitted by all to be the best in the West, are unlimited, and of easy access to the town.

This sale of lots seems to be all the talk now, and we doubt not if many of our citizens don't take in the excursion, at least.
