TON AND WHITE CLOUD TTie Charivari wag given littla sympathy by the editor of the Kansas Weekly Patriot, Burlington, who wrote on September 10, 1864: "It is getting to be an established custom in Burlington, among the younger portion of the community to charivari or 'horn' newly married couples. So common has this excessively low and vulgar species of rowdyism become, that people who contemplate entering into the holy bonds of wedlock, are compelled to resort to various expedients to deceive the inevitable nuisances to prevent their annoyances at the matrimonial festivities.

Boys, this 'horning' business is low, and despicable. You insult the parties that you annoy and you degrade and imbrtste yourselves. "There are many ways to amuse yourselves, innocently, without engaging ifl this contemptible and detestable custom of insulting and outraging wedding parties, and disturbing the peace and quietness 'of the community. Unless you are invited to wedding parties, keep away. You have no business there.

We trust that the parents and guardians of these offenders will take measures to prevent their charges from participating in any more such disgraceful acts must be a quietus put to these outrageous practices."

They have lately been obtaining large quantities of liquor at Iowa Point evening our town is filled with drunken Indians, on their return from the Point. They ride backward and forward at full speed, through out streets, threatening, cursing, whooping, an! firing pistols. They even enter the stores and places of business and threaten tndl curse the inmates.

Assaults nave been committed on several trt our citizens. "One man this week, was stricken with a pistol over the head by a drunken Indian. The wound, though happily not serious, bled profusely.
