Last Kansas Emigration Party.
The fifth and last party of emigrants from this city to Kansas, left yesterday afternoon, under the charge of Mr. Charles H. Brancroft, of Holyoke, agent of the Emigrant Aid Company. They left in good spirits. The party numbered thirty when it reached Springfield, where three more joined it. A much larger number would have gone had not the Aid Company discouraged further emigration at this late period of the season. No other party will be sent out until spring.—Boston Telegraph 22nd.
