Joy Civrk. Jiioriuiiir arrives Satiml.iy evening In themid-st of the gayet' and hilarity of life we are often, as it were, almost in the' unconscious embrace of death. To-day we may be in the full vigor of the prime of life, looking forward with anxious anticipation to a bright and prosperous future, an.l to How JSIsnII V'c Washington, July 20. Hditou Kei'Udlicax I see in your last issue a resolution of the Republican Central Committee in reference to the plan of calling a convention, and would say that as a member of the Farmers' Club, have Toot left the lie-publican party, there are many things that I am not obliged to, and do not endorse, such as the salary grab, nor do I believe that the mass ol the part- does. I believe from the movements on foot and the tone of the press the party has the power ami the will to purity itself; but do not believe that any.

change in the plan of our convention would lend assistance to that end. But let the Central Committee caU a large convention, and the different townships send up good responsible men for their delegates, and I have no fears, but they will bear in mind the suggestion of Ilis lfonor Judge Wilson in his ith of July speech, to 'nominate none but those who have capacity and integrity.

A band of ku-klux made a raid on the far of Mrs. 31aria l'rown, mother cf D. Orntz P.rown, in Owen county, Friday night, 'killing Lewis WiNen, colored, and burned his liouo down and damaged other property. The farm contained large growing erorsof corn and tobacco which it will duiicuU to harvest in the absence of the laborers driven off by the ku-klux. Other farms were visited by thcni and the owners warned against employing negroes as workmen.

It is said the kn klux came from Henry county. A dispatch frem iiliamsport dated July says, KiWUa JlclJride, aged 70, living with herhusbauvl on a farm about seven miles from this city, was brutally murder' last night by being shut through the heart.

Not long ago the treasurer ef a political club was informed of the condition of the Trust Company and withdrew the funds of the club.

The man that cwns mntt'rial, anl possesses the hrains of the Jin-lerpri-ic is out of sorts because we (lis played more enterprise than ho in publishing tlin proceedings of the commissioners first, and charges our county clerk with neglect of lutv. fact is, that tliore is not a more capable and efficient ofllcer in the State than our county clerk, but to write twent' or thirty pages of records of the proceedings of commissioners requires a little time. To copy the same twice for the newspapers would require just treble the time. Knowing this, also knowing that the clerk is not paid f.r these proceedings for the papers, the Tlntcrprhc says, we requested permlssionjto copy them, and it was granted; consequently we were able to present it to our readers one week in advance of the Enterprise.

Had Mr. ITolienbcrg-donc as we (lid, he would not have had to cop3 the proceedings from the We propose to publish all items of interest to the public just as soon as we can get them, and we hope our Hanover friends-will not lay any blame to any-county ofliccrs on this account. The following from the St. Joseph Herald of the 29th we give for what it is worth. Reliable authority is very easily obtained, but it will take time to substantiate the following statement.

The harvest has been a heavy-one, hands scarce, and but little time. has been devoted to recreation, even on Sunday, the usual day of uest. 'Win not set apart a day for recreation, -en joyment, and social improvement. can mot but be productive socialby -and, physically. uis Urave more social.gatherings anU iessf'coiltin- uousdiard work.

-Who vvi lb be: the first to set on foot a move to get up a grand home" pie nic? We beiieve the farmers will turn out to a man to celebrate such an occasion. The wheat mowers of Douglas county -held a convention in Lawrence on Saturday. After several -speeches. the following resolutions were offered by judge Burnnclt each adopted in turn That as a moans for securing a fair price for our wheat: First, That the Granges and Farmers' Clubs in the county be requested to appoint a committee whose duty-it shall be to ascertain the amount of wheat raised iu each of their respective townships, and report the same to a county committee appointed by this convention and who shall in turn atccitain the aggregate amount, and report the same back to the Granges and Clubs with such statistical; facts as may be important for them to know. JlcsolccJ, That each Grange and Club is hereby earnestly recommended to take immeuiate measures to combine the wheat producers and holders together in such a way as to secure a price for our wheat not less than the St.

Louis and Chicago prices, freight tabled, and to afford such relief and accommodation as may be necessary to those holding wheat. Hcsoh'erfj That all other things being equal we recommend farmers to sell their wheat to parties who intend to manufacture the same into flour for home consumption, thus" preventing as far as possible the payment of rail-read re Urhts to and from Sr. Louis by the consumers at home oa wheat raised in. his own countj. The best feeling prevailed throughout the discussion.

It is thought the movement has been put on foot which will result iu much benefit to the farmer. Lowe Dft. State of Kansas w. C. II.

Death, when it conies to us surrounded by loving and affectionate friends and relatives to soothe us in thedast moments, is robbed of half its terror. IJut to receive "the-imperative summons of this relentless messenger in a strange land and among strangers; to know that a devoted mother whose very life is en-wrapped in that of her son, is unconscious of his sufferings and unable to administer to ins wants in his dying moments, is sufficient to make the stoutest heart quaik It is -with feelings of profound sorrow, that we are called upon this week to announce the death of JSln. Fiiaxk M.IIoriaxs. Frank, as he was generally known, being of an affable and agreeable nature, was universally-respected and esteemed by all who knew him.

lie had been a-resident of Washington for very ucariy a year and was looked upon as a quiet respectable citizen, and we do uot believe was capable of engendering the enmity of tiny. He was in the enjoyment of his usual health and was in the best of spirits until Monday evening when he complained of being unwell. During the night he was taken worse and went down stairs into the office of the hotel where he was boarding, ior some water but became so faint and exhausted that be fell to the lloor where he w'ss found morninir by Mr. Shri ner the prqprietor of the hotel. Medical aid was procured and' everything that could he was done to alleviate his sufferings, but it proved of -no avail, and on at ten o'clock his spirit -took' its'flight.

Here my -southern bound trip was checked by a dispatch ordering 1113' retreat, as the parties I wished to see could not meet me as -wo -had calculated heretofore. That stai light ride from Washington to Hanover on the morning of the 2.1st inst, in company with Mr.

and Mrs. Albright, was a grand one. We reached Hanover at an early hour for the train, and in the few minutes here allotted me learned to my astonishment what had been so long to me a myste ry; for, never before this date had I learned -for what reason Hanover should be so widely known to the traveling public, or from what source and title it derived its familiarity. The mystery is mysteiy.no more, for the hospitality of the town will recommend -it" to any one: and under the di rcction of its founder, Hon. G.

II. IIol- lenberg, things assume, a shape well calculated to cheer the heart of the traveler, and cause him to hold long in remembrance the associations of Hanover. From Hanover to Marysvdle I hart the company of Judge Wilson. At Marysville the train stopped twenty minutes for breakfast, and through the courtesy of the judge we were shown through the city from 1st to 21st streets, up and cioivn all of the avenues, and introduced to several of the legal officials. I only, regretted that time would not permit extensive acquaintance.

.1 tt 71 tt The crops ad along the line of rav travels look nicely, and in almost cve- ry direction the Teapers could be seen i circling around the golden whcatlields, and men too numerous' to mention and too busy to be talked to, taking care of the grain. And last but not least is love among the roses in a railway- ear: Directly opposite me sat in an oval position the handsomest couple, their showing well, I'll never tell, but suffice to sa3 they were one, and I gathered A it 11 iru Luas, wcujock and at second-hand cradle formed the main spring to the flowery pnth of life. Wishing them a future of pleasure and unmeasured happiness, and with the bright prospects before them, I see no reason to doubt the realization of their fondest hopes.
