vr"'T!Vhy don't fonie onemnke a move
toward organizing a band? The proba
bilities are that s number of the boys
belonging to the Neb. let band will lo
cate in this place to foon aa they are out
of the service, and with the addition of a
few of our own citizens a pood band
conld be organized in a short time. It
wou'd not only be a source of gratifica
tion to those participating in i, but
would obviate ti e necesity of sending
to some other town for.a bandon festive
occasions.
rj3F"Among other things which the cit
izen of this placa are gr. atly in need of
is a banking house. Although we arc not
very well versed in the banking business
we are of the opinion that it wou'd pay
here, and know it would be not only a
great convenience to the people, but
would expert a great influence in assist
ing to build upthetowm. The amount
of liuin-es done at thia place freighting
and o:h-rwie will undoubtedly require
the service of a banking house in a short
time, and it appears to us that now is
the lime to commence it.
J37"Siiine cowardly, bushwhacking
sc -undre., who had the fear of man but
not of the Lord before his eyes, cut the
harness from the horse of Rev. J. G.
Miller, on last Friday night. This man
ner of seeking redress for some supposed
wrong or grievance, is only practiced
by those who have not sufficient manhood
to come out openly and state their case,
and trust to the justice of their accusations
to bear them out. We are opposed to
any man taking the law in his own hands,
but we hope the next one that attempts
this kind of a trick in Piattsmouth will
receive a good charge of buck ehot.
C57"The Festival and Concert, given
by the ladies of the M. E. Church, on last
I riday evening, was a complete success.
The number in a'.tendence was very large,
considering the state weather of the
and the short notice given. The refresh
ments consisted of ice cream, cake, straw
terris aad peaches, which were provided
in great abundance. The tab.es were
beatifuily arranged, and decorated in the
most tasty manner with a profusion of
ll owers. The music, by the Oman aMusi
cal Troupe, was excellent, and the only
regret was that they culd not give us
more of the same kind. The whole affair
passed off pleasantly, and red-ats great
credit upon th- ladies who managed it.
The nett proceeds amounting to about
$110 are to be d-voted to the praise
worthy object of repairing the parsonage
of the M. E. Church. We doubt if there
is another town on the river where the
same interest is taken in charitable affairs
of this kind as in Piattsmouth.
""Piattsmouth is becoming notori
ous f,.r a place of its size, for the number
of '-row s" that occur. Last Wednesday
uftt mean a Cht occured in one of the
saloons, which resulted in '-second best'
getting a severe cut in th? side of the
h-ad. "First best"' th n proceeded to
arm and equip"' himself, and watch
i,:it for "u iiik movements.'' After con--il-riblj
maneuvering, however, both
; .u-iies retired in good order. During
the n:ght the good people residing near
th- we-t end of M tin Street were aroused
from their slumbers by the cry of "Mur
der," and immediately after several pis
tol shots were fired. Upon inquiry it was
f fcund that sc. me unruly chars, htlonging
to a wistward boui-d train, had endeav
ored to force an entrance into a house
oc.-upied by a Mrs. Powers, and were
p- rsuaded ' to desist only aft. r one of
their number l ad received a balljihrough
the leg. We understand the in in that
Z 1 shut was afterwards taken before
Mayor Cooper and fined $25. Let every
offender of this kind be dealt with
promptly, and thu full penalty of the law
iiiliictt-d, and it will soon have the effect
of abating this spirit of rowdyism.
m
7'PI he concert given by tho Omaha
IleeClub, on Saturd-ty night,vasi well
attended, ' 'nnd everything passed offto
the satisfaction of all concerned. The
th inks of this community are due the
members of this club, not only for the
pleasure their miiMC afforded but for their
liberality in donating the entire proceeds
of the concert to the church. Th-y will j
long bo remembered by our citizens for
this act of generosity.
This club is compos-d of Mr. and Mrs.
Johnson, Miss Guss'ie. Estabrook, Miss
Mice Clark, and Mr. C as. Parcel. We
learn they had quite an "interesting
time" cr .ssing the Platte river on their
way down, and were compelled to aban
don their conveyance in the middle of
the stream. The trentl
y . j
like true knights, hore the ladies throu 'h :
i
the turbulent stream and land, d them
safely on terra firrna. We hope the next ;
time ihey pay our city a visit, we will be j
belter prepared for their accommodaii n i
in the way of instruments, &c.
157" Mauy of our merchants are

Doke ci Co. have received the largest
sio k of stoves, tin and sheet-iron, ever
brought to this market. In fact, cur
business men generally are preparing
themselves for an ininensu trade this
fall; and, judging lrom appearances,
their preparations are none loo exten
sive, as the demand from the west will
he great, to say nothing of the great
increase in the local trade.
U'e have received several numbers

(3?"The Territorial Librarian has our
thanks for a copy of the Laws psssed at
the last ses-ion of tne Legislature. We
find, upon examination, that various
change have been made in tho laws reg
ulating the prices allowed publishers in
certain cases. We Lave, of necesity,
regulated our prices by the old law here
tofore, but will now be governed by the
present statutes. Some arrangements
should be made whereby the laws could
he printed and circu'atcd more than four
months before they are .'ikely to be
changed, as it is inconvenient to be gov
erned by a law and have no means of
ascertaining what it is.
RfsS'There wi'l be a Camp Meeting
at Mount Pleasant, commencing on Fri
day next, under the auspices of the M.

JSWe hear considerable com
plaint from the formers iu this section
that grain has been too wet for stack
ing. It is the belief of some that not
one half the grain that was cui
can be saved in good condition. A
ereat deal of that already stacked was
damp when put up, and the continual
wet weather since has prevented it
drying out as was anticipated it would.
The corn crop was Dever belter than
this year; but ihe great fear of farm
ers is that the wet weather will prevent
it ripening until frost will injure it.
