It will be seen by Mr. Clark's state ment that the party that committed the Pot awatomie tragedy consisted of six members of the Brown family, and two others, one of whom at least was a "settler in the neighborhood." Redpath states that he derived the facts from two squatters who aided in the execution settlers in the neighborhood. If the statement of Mr.

T. to Mr. Clark as to who constituted the party is true, then Mr. T. must have been one of the men from whom Mr.

Redpath got his information. Did Mr. Redpath fabricate his story? or did Mr. T. make one statement to Mr.

Redpath and another and entirely different one to Mr. Clark?

There are numerous remedies that cure sometimes and become trusted as useful, but none have ever proved so effectual cured so many and such remarkable cases as Dr. Ayer's medicines. The Cherry Pectoral has restored many patients who were believed to be hopelessly affected with consumption. Ague Cure breaks up chills and fever quickly and surely. Ayer's compound extract of sarsa-parilla eradicates scrofula and impurities of the blood, cleanses the system and restores it to vigorous health.

By its timely use many troublesome disorders that cause a. decline of health are expelled or cured. Ayer's Pills and their effects are too well known everywhere to require any commendation from us here. Scran-ton (Pa.) Times. Sheriff's Sale.

A. 8 the Doyle's and Sherman to kill the Browns or drive them out of Kansas, says "On the night of the 24th of May, the Doyles, Wilkinson, and Sherman were seized, tried and slain. John Brown did not know that these men were killed until the following day: for, with one of his sons, he was twenty five miles distant at the time. He was at Middle Creek. This fact can be proved by living witnesses.

It is false, also, that the ruffians were cruelly killed. They were tried, made confession, allowed time to pray, and then slain in a second. He also say3 in this connection: "These facts I derived from two squatters who aided in the execution, and who were not ashamed of the part thev took in it Neither ot them was a son of John Brown. They were settlers in the neighborhood." Redpath also states that John Brown denied any participation in the affair. Against this evidence are the state- mfints civen in Dr.

Browns reminis cences, and others of a similar charac ter not yet published. The most inter- estiner and dispassionate I recollect to CT have seen is the one given by the Hon Johnson Clark, of Miami county, and appended to his biographical sketch in the Kansas volume of the nited btates Biographical Dictionary. It is quite lengthv, but I have no doubt the inter est your readers have in getting at the truth of the matter will induce you to crive it a place in vour column s. It is A. as follows: On May 24, 1856, William Sherman ealled at the house of John L.

Grant, a Free State man from New York, and there, in anger and liquor, told the Grant family that they (the pro-slavery men) intended to drive out the tree State men from Potawatomie Creek and other parts of Kansas. This alarmed Grant, and he sent his son George to the camp of John Brown, who was at that time on Ottawa Creek, some twenty-five mlies northwest. Upon i i. i.i arriving in camp, young virani ioiu John Brown the condition of things, "It 1 3 1.1- A in bis neighbor nooo, ana me urouuie anticipated if help was not had immediately. And here it is proper to state that news had come from Kansas City that Buford had organized and armed a large force of Georgia immigrants, and was about to march upon Kansas.

The news had also arrived that Lawrence was in ashes, and that our Free State Governor, Robinson, was a prisoner in the hands of pro-slavery "border ruffians," at Leavenworth. In brief, it was a time of terror so appalling that it was felt that the destiny of Kansas was trembling in the balance and its fate about to be decided. When Old John Brown received this message from Potawatomie, in addition to all other words of distress, a council was held in his camp. A party of eight was formed, headed and commanded by Brown himself. The names of the other members of this party were as follows: Frederick Brown, Owen Brown, Watson Brown, Oliver Brown, Henry Thompson (Brown's son-in-law,) Mr.

Wyner, and last the man who now lives in Kansas and gives me the particulars, and before whom I am now writing. This, last-mentioned partv, whom we will call Mr. took this party in his wagon and started from Ottawa creek about two o'clock in the afternoon, arriving at the scene of the tragedy about midnight. The first attack was upon a man by the name of Doyle and his two sons, they being parties that had threatened. They were immediately dispatched, and left lying in the woods near the cabin where they resided.

They next visited the house of a Mr. Wilkerson, who was at the time a postmaster under Buchan-nan, and who lived about one half mile from the Doyle residence, and Wilkerson was found dead the next morning. The party then proceeded to the premises of the Sherman brothers, which was across the creek, and about one mile distant. It was the intention to dispatch both these men, as they had been particularly active in the pro-slavery cause. Henry Sherman was out hunting cattle, and had staid over night with a pro-slavery friend; but finding William, they called him out and left him dead in the middle of the creek, upon "some rocks and gravel.

They then wanted Mr. T. to drive them to another place, but it was now late at night, and he declined to take them any further. Mr. T.

says that Brown's boys did most of the killing, by. the advice and with the encouragement of old John Brown himself, and adds, further, that Brown himself, to nerve his party for the deeds about to be done, stepped in front of the first victim the old man Doyle and, drawing his revolver, shot him through the forehead. In conclusion, I will only add that this is the generally accepted version of the affair, in the vicinity of the tragedy, and that, notwithstanding historians have written to the contrary, I have no doubt but time will vindicate the correctness of this statement, which is from Mr. the only known witness living in the State. This Mr.

T. is a quiet farmer, and now lives within a radius of a dozen miles of the dreadful scene he witnessed. This statement has been made to the writer of this, by Mr. a dozen times, and, in company with Judge James Hanway, I visited him at his house, where this is written, and, buds, and promising a large croD of fruit; thought it an error to set apple and peach trees in alternate the fast-growing peach would rob the apple of it's proper moisture- and sustenance. The secretary had experienced much los3 in allowing the Janet annle to hang on the tree too long in autumn by I its cracking and thereby rotting early.

He inquired of Mr. Brackett the way to avoid that injury. Mr. Brackett re plied that other varieties were subject i to loss the same way, but the Janet on 1 account oi its late bloom in snrintr. and consequently its late ripening in the fall, was the most exposed of any other variety.

He knew of no way to avoid the difficulty, but advised to let the fruit hang on as long as one dares to, and he believed that by ridging up the rows the loss could in a measure be avoided. He thouget that young trees in black soil suffered the most. He had by way of experiment left two Janet trees yet unharvested. Under the head of SMALL FRUITS Mr. Brackett said that the raspberries and strawberries, and some other fruits were now in bloom, induced by our late autumn.

He had received a letter irom soutnern Jiansas making complaint of the same down there. No remedy was suggested, except to retard the growth. Upon GARDENING Mr. E. A.

Coleman had a fine crop of cabbage, and advised hanging all the loose heads in a trench, where they would harden up before spring. Mr Stanley asked for a remedy for cab bage heads cracking. Mr. Coleman replied: "By giving the roots a gentle pulling, and thus arresting the vigor of their growth Under this head President Sedgwick reported raising between 500 and 600 bushels of Peachblow potatoes the pres ent season. several voices united in tne inquiry of "How did you do it?" Aanswer, by planting late and continual plowing The dryer the weather increase the plowing.

He pfanted the rows both ways, and run the plow close to the hills. Under the head of NEW FRUITS Mr. J. C. Brackett said that out of eighty new varieties, limb grafted in 1877 from cions furnished by Dr.

Haws ley, of Leavenworth, forty-two bore fruit this season. One a Cooper, (not Cooper's Early White,) was in size and productiveness very promising. Six other varieties also were nearly or quite as good as the Cooper. One other, the Kansas Queen, originated near Leavenworth, was very handsome, red and regular, ot nign color, season, September. Another apple alaeady in many orchards was highly spoken of and that was the Lawyer, a seedling of the McAfee one such, and originated by Mr.

Park, of Parkerville, Mo; it is a long keeper, ot good size, say a bright color, an ex cellent apple for shipping. Alter some mrtner discussion upon I Ai ll i a winter adjournment ot our meet 1 in i ings, the society' adjourned to meet at some place upon the third Saturday in December. J. Savage, Secretary KANSAS HISTORY. Was John Brown There? Editor Journal: The most exciting question likely to be raised by the pub lication of Dr.

G. W. Brown's "Remi niscences of old John Brown," is the one as to whether John Brown was one of the party that, committed the Pota watomie murders in May 1856. That he denied taking any part in that transaction there can be no doubt; and the burden lies on those who assert that he did, to show it by clear and indis putable proof before it can be accepted as a historical fact The history of that affair, so far as it has been written and fused in the minds of the people of the nation, is, that he was not present. During an interview between Senator Mason, Congressman Vallandigham, and John Brown, at Harper's Ferry October 19, 1859, the next day after he was captured, a bystander put this question to Brown: "Did you know Sherrod (meaning Sherman) in Kan sas? I understand you killed him Brown answered as follows: "I killed no man except in fair I fought at Black Jack Point and Osawatomie, and if I killed anybody it was at one of those places." Mr.

F. B. Sanborn, of Concord, Massachusetts, who is now engaged in writing the life of Brown, and was one of his most intimate friends, in a biographical sketch, contributed quite recently to Rev. Samuel Orcutt's history of Torrington, Litchfield county Ct, HIT Sf 1 1 1 1 says: ne rsrown; nao enlisted a small band of true men, and with these, from May to September, he ranged the Kansas prairies at intervals, executing justice on the oppressors of the people. It was a portion of this band that com mitted the so-called Potawatomie murders in May, 1856, but Captain Brown himself was not then present although he afterward justified the act It has often been said that he took part in this deed, but that he assured me more than once, was not the fact" James Redpath, in his life of Brown, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1879.

This meeting was held at the State University on Saturday the 15th inst, The weather was clear and bright-very much like spring-time.

The au dience was rather light and thin, some' what less than our average attendance, lhe occasion was enlivened music from Miss Kate Smead and Mr. Samuel Reynolds, with Miss Yarnold presiding at the organ. Miss Smead has a fine voice, and interprets the spirit of song in a delightful manner, doing herself great credit as a persistent student in the study of music. We hope to hear her again at our horticultural gather ings. No business was done until after din ner was served, when President Sedg wick called the meeting to order.

Heading of minutes of the last meeting were omitted, and the usual discussion upon ORCHARDS, opened the meeting. Mr. G. C. Brack ett began the discussion by saying that the subject of pruning forced itself upon us at the time of gathering our apples more than at any other season.

Be had been impressed with the great need of a more systematic method of pruning, the present year, than ever before. -For instance, in .1877 he had trimmed 600 out of 800 Bowles Janet trees, and this spring had trimmed fifty and over out of the remaining 200. The result was that upon the trees pruned in 77 there was a crop of hand some fruit large, tender, and juicy and well colored; while upon the un tnmmea trees tne inside iruit was small, mildewed, and hardly fit for cider, or the hogs Then, too, the inul titude of limbs precludes all free ac cess to tne tree-top, so necessary to a successful harvesting of the apples. "As you are aw.are," he said, "my crop the present season is mostly Bowles Janet" Mr. JU.

A. uoieman said tnat it was an old saying that an "honest confes sion is good tor tne soul, and be was glad to hear Mr. Brackett advocate so strongly the necessity of pruning, He had practiced it for the last ten years. The Janet apple is worthless unless allowed to grow in light, sun, and air. The Rome Beauty and some other varieties were not so particular in their surroundings.

Mr. Brackett Lad always insisted that Coleman had a better location than some others for apples, but he (Coleman) had saved one-half barrel of White Winter Pear- maines. on pur pose to prove that it was not the red loom soil, or the loca tion. that makes his fruit so fine, but the pruning. Mr.

Jas. Kane had always advocated a judicious system of pruning, but it ought to begin in the nursery, and he so performed as to avoid forks, and cause the branches to shoot out in a regular whirl about the main stem. "The great trouble has been in Kansas that dealers could not afford to trim and weed out properly and sell at the low price at which trees are vended. Mr. L.

A. Stanley had bad some little experience in pruning during the' past season; had found three or more stems growing where there ought to be but one had found such trees liable to break down bv the strong winds and a heavy crop of fruit He believed prun ing should begin in the nursery. The speaker.liked the suggestions of Mr. Brackett, and believed they should be extended to both the peach and in the State. EXAMINE.
