2 South Ninth Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Bv order of tho Director EZRA D.IIEARTWELL, President GEO. FA1KCII1LD, Secretary 1 the grand Soiree given at the Great Western Hotel, on Thursday even ing Oct. 21st, from the press of St. Joseph: "We bad tie pleasure of attending the Grand Ball last Thursday evening, at the Great Western Hotel, Elwood.

Courtesy requires us to notice the event in appropriate terms, but candidly, we are incompetent to express our appreciation of the generous hospitality of tho accomplished proprietors, Messers. Franklin Webster. the elegance ana style apparent in tue construction, finish, and furnishing of their princely House, and the fastidious taste which, excluding all the tinsel and gaudy gew-gaws of modern ball-rooms and ball suppers, provided a commodious and chastely appointed Hall for the dance, and a lavish abundance of the essentials and delicacies requisite to make up a sumptuous repast for the numerous guests, assembled. Enjoyment was the order of th night, and, so far "as we observed, a joyous, happy spirit pervaded the entire company. To the splendid music of Cruft's American Band, of this city, the dance was continued until four o'clock in the morning.

We were surprised to find so much. beauty, refinement, and gallantry in our neighboring town, though its character in these re-spects, we shall henceforth acknowledge with undisguised pleasure. We have to regret that more of our citizens, especially our fair ladies, were not present, and can pledge them that, whenever a Ball is announced again at the Great Western Hotel, they may attend, with the full assurance, of a splendid supper, a choice dancing hall, and a courteous reception, by the proprietors, and an honest rivalry for the palm of beauty, of good breeding, and of tasteful attire in the Elwood fair. Why may we not have frequent pleasure parties from St. Joseph to Elwood? Dinner parties of ladies and gentlemen, dancing parties, If the taste of our pleasure-seekers should favor the suggestion, this winter, we have no hesitancy in giving a carte blanche endorsement of the Great Western as perfect in all the appointments of a superior hotel, and all.tne requisites for social enjoyment in the way balls, dinners, Elwood is prospering, and we wish it a brightand successful future.

Much good will follow an interchange of courtesies between its citizens and those of St. Joseph, and nothing but the kindliest feelings should exist between them. They are neighbors, and should befriends. St. Joseph West, In company with a number of gentlemen of this city, we repaired, Thursday evening, to our neighboring village, Elwood, for the purpose, of attending the grand ball given on that evening at the Great Western Hotel.

A period of four months had sped by since we had paid a visit to this thriving village, and, on arriving in the suburbs, we were agreeably surprised to see the rapid progress which had been made during this time. Beautiful white cottages were dotted here and there, where but a few months previous tall "weeds" and vegetables waved in luxurient grandeur. On arriving still nearer the public square, the Great Western Hotel, with its hundreds of windows, doors and rooms, all beautifully illuminated, burst upon our delighted visions, and reminded U3 of the scenes of Aladdin, or a white cloud in a fairy land. Arriving at its portals, we were received and ushered into its pallatial rooms as only such polished and refined gentlemen as Messrs. Franklin and Webster, tho enterprising proprietors, and Mrs.

Franklin, the accomplished landlady, can receive and welcome guests into their abode of comfort and refinement. The cotillon hall was beautifully illuminated, while the glorious stars and stripes of the American flag were stretched gracefully across in the back ground, The dance was kept up until near midnight, when th'ecompany formed and marched to the solemn tones of martial music to the rich dining rooms, whose doors were soon thrown open, revealing the luxuries and substantial of the tropics and the Far West concentrated. Wine was brought forth -toasts drnnk speeches made, and general good feeling manifested. AVe left at a late hour in tho night, and every thing was still going on as merry as a marriage bell. St.

Joseph Journal. Through the politeness of tho proprietors of the Great Western Hotel, at Elwood, we were present at the Ball and Banquet in that place on Thursday night. It was the first thing of the kind ever attempted in ourneighboring town, and for the credit of the place it was most fortunate that the initiative step in this direction was deferred for such gentlemen as Messrs Franklin Webster. The whole affair was conducted upon a scale of lib-erality and with a taste and elegance that elicited unbounded encomium from each and every guest. The House itself has no superior, at present, on the Missouri river.

It is admirably arranged, and model of neatness-throughout. With such facilities, upon Rrmh occasion, it needed only such hoststo render the festivities what they were in fact, the most delightful, ever partaken of in the North West. St. Joseph Gazette. OCpWhen Mr.

Weller, Senior, was cautioning Samivel against writin' po'try he remarked "I never know'd a respectable coachman as wrote po'try, 'cept one as made an afTectin' copy d' verses the night afore he was hung for a highway robbery but ho was only a Cambervell man, so even that's no rule." Arkansas was admitted with a population of less than Florida came in with and Texas with less than 25,000. But they are all Slave States, so that establishes no rale. Kansas has not less than 80,000 to-day but Kansas is free. We must wait, of course we must. OCSay, if you want a stove for your parlor, kitchen or office, call on D.

In the heavy 'Spring rains which deluged the whole West, there has been no failure hardly a diminution of crops in Kansa3. Corn in many places has yielded one hundred bushels to the acre, and has averaged at least seventy bushels. We have measured the height of corn in several fields in Doniphan County, and have found stalks which measured over eighteen feet, and ears of corn weighing lbs. Thete lias been for some time in the Press office, a stalk of corn, grown near here, which measured lS'-J- feet in length, and had upon it eleven hundred kernels of corn. As a mate for thi3, they have in the Atchisoii County Clerk's office, a pumpkin weighing 120 lbs.

We have no "fancy" farmers in Kansas, but, in a few years, when our farmers have some leisure to bestow on their splendid lands, no "soil that the sun shines upon will bo found to produce such grain and vegetables as they then will exhibit in our agricultural fairs. We have lately cut down blades of grass which, when measured, were found to be from 8 to 8- feet in length. There are prairies in Doniphan County, and all over Kansas, in which the tallest men ''are invisible at a distance of ten -yards Sorghum has been cultivated here to some extent thi3 season, and with good success. Machines for pressing it are easily constructed. The syrup retails at about 75 cents per gallon, and is sold to dealers for 65 cents.

The cost of raising the article is less than half this amount. Of sweet potatoes we have a good crop this year. Oar climate favors their growth and almost 'every farmer has a field of them. Personal.
