Wyandott, Armstrong and Kansas City, Kan. Geo. FRANK is home from Texas. A regular thaw set in yesterday. Russell ARMSTRONG returned yesterday. Overcoats were taken off the shelf again yesterday. Jack CALLAHAN is putting up a blacksmith shop at Farmer. Several sleighs were out yesterday, but the going was poor. Wm. BITTLES, of Armstrong, intends farming it this summer. A shoemaker and blacksmith are badly needed at Armstrong. Some very fine pickerel were caught in the Kaw river yesterday. The last three days of Holy week the Catholic schools are closed. J. MOORE has completed his new residence on the J. C. Gunter road. The new barn of M. McGONIGLE, on the James Grinter road, is finished. Fresh rolls, bread, coconuts, sweet cider, dried beef, etc., at Dunning's. Coasting down hill was the order of the day yesterday with the small boys. J. A. SMITH, a teamster for Mr. FREEMAN, has had his hand severely bruised. JOHNSON, of Armstrong, is repainting and decorating his drug store, inside and out. Prof. JAMES of Lawrence, will lecture at the colored Baptist church this evening. The Republicans will nominate their city ticket at Dunning's hall on Tuesday next. Tim McMANN, who lives on the Pat Reidy road, has completed a very fine barn. A barber will hang out his pole at Armstrong next week, and the boys are happy. The new floor in the basement of Mrs. KAY's house, at Armstrong, in completed. Middleton TURNER of Pomeroy, sends us word that it is a girl, and a bouncing one, too. R. M. HESTER, postmaster at Farmer is now receiving and distributing mail regularly. The Rev. ZIMMERMAN will not leave Armstrong for Russell, Kan., until Monday week. J. P. DENISON has set out a row of the finest shade trees in the city, opposite his residence. Fred HOERSMAN, who bought the John SEEMAN property, has finished his house and moved in. The stone work for the Viso bridge will be completed Monday, and the frame work put up next week. The choir at the Catholic church will practice every night to sing DeWitt's mass on Easter Sunday. Dress goods, flannels and waterproofs, at BISHOP's bankrupt sale, at fifty per cent less than cost. Hon. R. B. TAYLOR of the "Gazette," still lies in a critical condition, with but slight hopes of his recovery. The fine piano that is to be raffled for, can be seen at Peter LEIFLER's store. Tickets one dollar, for sale by him. J. R. PALMER of Pomeroy is preparing to start for Colorado, in company with W. P. OVERTON, about April 1. A wedding between two well known parties living at Pomeroy, is now agitating the inhabitants in that section. Miss Kate SMITH left yesterday afternoon for Chicago, for the purpose of purchasing a large stock of spring goods. All Knights of Pythias, who wish to drill, are requested to meet at the railway depot Tuesday evening, at 7:30 o'clock. The new steps of the school-house were put down yesterday. All united in saying the change was an excellent one. The Sunday-school concert was largely attended last evening. A further notice will appear in Tuesday's paper. The sewing society of the Baptist church in Kansas City, Kan., will meet at Mrs. THORNTON's on Wednesday at 2:30 o'clock p.m. Father KUHLS says the gathering at the festival at Atchison last Wednesday was the grandest that ever occurred west of St. Louis. To-day the "Royal Palmetto" of Florida will be blessed and distributed at the Catholic church, according to time immemorial. The case of indecent exposure, before Judge NEWMAN, was yesterday discharged, with a severe reprimand and an order to leave the city. Some parties, during BEQUILLARD's temporary absence on Thursday, stole a fine silver watch out of his store. No clue to the thief as yet. J. MILLER states he was not at home when his child died, and that his wife did not give it anything to drink, but merely nursed it during the night. A large dog attacked a young lady near the Catholic church yesterday. Her cries brought a colored man to her assistance, who drove the brute off. Armstrong and Kansas City, Kan., were not supplied with a minister at the last M. E. Church conference, but we hear will be so at an early day. The cottage prayer meeting will take place Tuesday night at Mrs. BLANTON's residence in Kansas City, Kan., and on Friday evening at Mrs. HORLEY's. The report that thirty or forty military convicts were staying near the railroad bridge is unfounded, there being but two men living in a dug-out there. Lee CROCKETT took the first prize among the boys in selling tickets for the Sunday School concert, and Miss Belle BOWLING among the young ladies. Rev. J. A. REITZ has postponed his visit to Topeka on account of the sickness of his children. He will preach at his church to-day at the usual hours. In Kansas City, Kan. there will be Baptist service by the pastor this morning at 11 o'clock and in the evening at 7 o'clock.

The trustees of the Catholic church will have a meeting on Monday night while a board of eight will call on all members of the educational society who do not attend the meetings. As the foundation of the Baptist church in Kansas City, Kan., will be completed this week, the corner stone will be laid on April 5th, at 2:30 p.m., Rev. J. B. HARDWICK, D. D., officiating. As there appears to be some misunderstanding regarding the nomination for police judge in Kansas City, Kan., on the opposition ticket, we would state it is W. B. DOUGLASS, who keeps the River Shannon hotel. A colored man, named Allan WOODFORK, has a freak of nature in the shape of a three legged chicken. It is not about two weeks old, and uses all its legs with perfect ease. The curious can see it at his house on Twelfth street. Pete LYONS, the champion, was in our city yesterday, putting up extensive posters for the appearance of Kate PUTNAM on April 3d, for three nights, at the opera house. Those wishing to attend will find street-car accommodation on hand. A meeting was held at the residence of the Hon. J. B. SCROGGS Thursday evening, by the ladies and gentlemen of the Congregational church, for the organization of a Pickwick club. It was finally agreed to present at an early day, the great "Pickwick Trial." Next Thursday, called Holy Thursday, will be celebrated by the perpetual adoration of the blessed sacrament at the Catholic church, Friday night there will be a lecture on passion, Saturday morning takes place the blessing of the "fire." Easter candles and baptismal fountain. There lives over Jersey creek, on Third street, a man named COOK, who sells patent articles. Some time since he and his wife separated, she going to Missouri, and he staying in Kansas. Their only child, a little girl, was retained by him. The wife sued for a divorce in Missouri, and it was granted after which he obtained a divorce in Kansas and married again. The divorced wife wanted her child but it was refused to be given up to her, and she had no recourse in law. But on Thursday three men appeared over Jersey creek near COOK's home in a double carriage, and getting the little girl above mentioned to come out, took her into the carriage immediately, and drove rapidly over to Missouri and place the child in the arms of its mother, who now has legal possession of it according to the law of the state she lives in, and there ends quite a romance.
