Last evening we had the pleascire of hearing u There was recently at Birkenhead, Eng., a trim

oi onr readers in Western New York and elae- 
wbeve, will he glad to learn, as we have been, of 
the welfare of Dr. Church and his family. 
As already intimated we have made but few calls 
upon business men or brethren of the profession. 
Among the few, however, we may note that, we 
found our friends C. M. Saxton <fc Co., Agricultu¬ 
ral Book Publishers, courteous and obliging, and 
prospering in business. Mr. Saxton lias recently 
retired from the firm—bis former partner, Mr. A.

It is Btated, in the letters from England, that 
the immediate cause of tho breaking of the tele¬

the brakes, and as she rose it snapped the cable.

Eds. Rural:— Having seen little Kansas corres¬ 
pondence in the Rubai, and thinking a few lines 
from a Kansas iarmer might not be unacceptable, 
I have taken the liberty to write to you. 
First, to satisfy the curiosity «f those who wish 
to know how there came to be a Cayuga In Kansas, 
1 will say, that during last winter a company was 
formed in Auburn, N. Y, principally among resi¬ 
dents of Cayuga Co. for the purpose of emigrating 
to Kansas. On their arrival they formed a settle¬ 
ment iu the western part of Atchison Co., la i d out 
a town, and in remembrance of their lute home, 
called it Cayuga- This place is on the Ft. Iamven- 
worth and Salt Lake military road, about thirty- 
seven miles from the former place, and twenty 
miles from Atchison, on the Missouri river. At 
the time wo came here, the middle oi April, not a 
claim had been taken on this prairie, nor, indeed, 
ten miles east of here. Now none can be had 
within iwo miles of the military road—although 
this part of the Territory is settling very slowly 
when compared with that south of the Kansas 
river. 
Much the larger portion of the emigration to 
Kansas, dnriog tho present year has been by the 
Missouri river, and, as Lawrence became so noted

Rural Friends:—A fter a ten days sojourn amid 
the almost continuous din, noise find confusion of states that the expenses of a judge ou his way to 
the great Metropolis—the most extensive hive of the court are his own. 
Humanity on this Continent, whereat congregate 
a vast number and variety of workers and drones, 
including people of all classes, callings and na¬ 
tions—we occupy a few moments in noting sundry 
matters thut have come uuder tho observation of 
a provincialist, and which may, and may not, 
redound to your interest or edification. 
To the eye of the stranger and occasional visitor, 
New York is at any season, an interminable Babel 
of wonders and curiosities—presenting at once, 
and at every turn, so many and varied phases in 
the great panorama of life as to temporarily at 
least confuse and astonish those who are unaccus¬ 
tomed to tho eights and scenes of its principal 
points and thoroughfares. We have visited Gotham 
at various seasons—Spring, Summer and late Fall— 
but never when it was so full of life and activity, 
and bo overflowing with the tide of humanity, as 
at present. The hegira of the fashionables from 
the popular watering places, and comfortable sum¬ 
mer resorts in the “Rural Districts,” together with 
the September visitation oi merchants from all 
parts ot the Union, is congregating a vast multi¬

The army order apparently reduces the Utah 
expedition to a trivial escort for Governor Cum- 
ming. The total abandonment of the expedition 
in consequence of the lateness of the Reason, is 
yet probable. 
The Spanish Legation possesses information that 
there is no danger of a war with Mexico, but that 
a diplomatic rupture is not impossible. 
The Navy Department has received dispatches 
from Capt, Thatcher, who visited the Costa Rican 
Capital and had an interview with Gen. Mora, rel¬ 
ative to the alleged forcible detention oi certain 
American citizens on the Lake of Nicaragua and 
San Juan steamers by the Costa Rican authorities. 
Gen. Mora denied any such detention, and said that 
the engineers and hands employed the Doctor oc¬ 
cupied on said BteamerB, and he or his subordi¬ 
nates were paid by Costa Rica, and none were 
forced to remain. The contracts were made of 
their own free will, and not more than half a dozen 
American citizens in Nicaragua hut chose to re¬ 
main.

the Astor and St, Nicholas, many daily applicants

These New York hotels, by the way, are great 
“ inattentions,” as we can affirm from experience— 
The articles of the treaty between the United 
States and New Granada are agreed upon, and will 
be soon transmitted to that government for its 
official action. 
The Boards of Naval Inquiry have reported up-

The yellow fever is said to he prevailing very 
seriously in Havana. Some three hundred of the 
officers and crew of tho Spanish line-of-battle ship 
Isabel Segnnda are understood to have fallen vic¬ 
tims to it. Nevertheless the Spanish Government 
ia at this season sending out. more soldiers there, 
as if to be victims to the pestilence. The Mexican 
Consul died on tho 14th ult„ of yellow fever. 
In an opinion published in the Monthly Law Re¬ 
porter for August, contained in a letter from Caleb 
Cushing, Attorney General, to Mr. McClelland, late 
Secretary of the Interior, it Jb held that when a 
river is the boundary between two nations, its 
natural channel continues to bo the boundary, not¬ 
withstanding any change of its course by gradual 
accretion or decretion of cither bank; but if the 
course be changed abruptly into a new bed, by ir¬ 
ruption or avulsion, then the deserted river bed 
becomes the boundary. 
Db. Gill was pastor of the Baptist Church, in 
Charter Lone, London, for fifty-four years, and was 
succeeded by Dr. Bippon, who filled the office sixty- 
three yean*. That ohnroh, therefore, had but two 
pastors in one hundred and seventeen years. 
A correspondent, writing of the various tor¬ 
tures inflicted on ladies and gentlemen by the mu¬ 
tineer and the low Mohammedans of India, says 
that they Blit the skin around the throats of their 
victims, and pulled off mask, Bcalp and all. 
There are employed in Philadelphia, portable

The Chinese Sugar Cane in Texas. — The 
Galveston Civilian states that Dr. Royal, of that 
paper, durlDg his recent tour in Western Texas, 
had good opportunities for observing tbe resnlt 
of the experiments now making in the cultivation 
of the Chinese Sugar Cane in that region, and re¬ 
marks:—'That, from the recent experiments made 
in the sugar region of this State, it ia evident that 
it will never supersede the ordinary cane for the 
manufacture oi sugar; but, in tbe more northern 
portions of the country, where cane will not grow, 
sugar enough for domestic consumption may be 
made from the Chinese cane, as it will mature in 
less than three months. The stalk ia as sweet as

A London correspondent of tho Colonist states 
that Her Majesty’s Ministers are heartily sick of
