We had feared the heavy rains last
week had lodged the wheat so as to in
jure it. but are pleased to learn that such
is not the fact. Wheat never looked
better.
Work would have been commenced on
the R. R. here last week only for the
rains, which delayed the work on the op
posite side and kept all hands busy re
pairing breaks and wastes.
The Omaha Herald is asking the peo
ple of Omaha to build a Hotel, and tells
them how to build it. The Herald man
ought to know. If we are not mistake
he lias had some experience in the bus
iness of hotel building.
The Press boasts that a few words from
it caused the Herald much labor to ex
plain that little. 4 "if." The Herald
'"acknowledges the corn," and submits

Parties just down from the mountains
report the snow all melted, and that we
probably have the highest water in the
river now that we will have this season.
The fall of snow in the mountains last
winter was very light.
The Xetcs says the contractors on the
B. & 31: R. R. from l'lattsmouth west
have apiointed an agent in Nebraska
City to purchase supplies. That looks
like business on the B. & 31. line, and
indicates that the road will draw heavily
from the country surrounding Nebraska
City from its very commencement.
Cramer's Circus exhibited here Tues
day afternoon and evening, according to
advertisement. Those who were present
ami there were a large number of them
report the performance far better than
they anticipated from the appearance of
the "outfit." This company was the
first to visit Ashland and Lincoln.
From the Cheyenne Argun of the 2"Jd
we learn that II. 31. Hook, an old plains
man and former 3Iayor of Cheyenne,
was drowned in (Jreen River a few days
before. He was going down the river
on a prospecting tour, along with a party
of men. when their loat was upset.
The other members of the party got out
safely.
3Ir. Richard Vivian, of Portage City,
Wisconsin, has leased the Platte Valley
House of Capt. 3Iurphy, and will take
charge of the premises in a short time.
3Ir. Vivian is an old hand at the busi
ness, ami the reputation which the Platte
Valley has sustained since Capt. Murphy
has kept it will suffer no damage under
3Ir. Vivian's management.
Contractor Fitzgerald was in the city
yc.-?torJuy rcttintr tLmtto in rcil!iie:9 to
commence oerations with a ""vim."
He has over a hundred sulcontractors
ready to take hold, and we confidently
expect to see the grading completed six
ty miles west from l'lattsmouth liefore
winter, and to see a iortioii of that dis
tance ironed.
Jones, Junkin & Co., of Chicago.have
just issued a work of great value to Farm
ers, Professional an I Business 3Ien, en
titled Iav.s of Business for all the States
of the Union, by Prof. Parsons, of Har
vard University. The writer is acknowl
edged authority on I'iw, and is the au
thor of several Standard Law Books.
Sec advertisement in another column.
The work of grading the strip of road
!etween this city and the C. B. Sc St.
Joe track is progressing rapidly, and will
be completed in a very short time. The
job is divided up into "00 yard contracts.
and a set of hands is engaged on each
;"(M) yards. The object is to get the iron
on as soon as Mssible so as to run cars
off the C. B. & St. Joe Road to this city,
which will be accomplished inside of six
weeks.
We are in receipt of the June number
of The Evergreen, a monthly publication
devoted to the interests of the 3Iasonie
Fraternity, and one which would benefit
all mankind if they would read it. It is
edited and published by E. A. (Juilbert,
at Dubuque, Iowa, and should be in the
hands of every Mason. It numbers
among its corps of regular contributors
some of the brightest 3Iasonic minds of
the age.
3Ir. J. J. Russel, of Richmond, Ind.,
has purchased the Wachter house on
Fifth street, north of 31am, for the con
sideration of $1,700. Mr. 'Russel came
here some five or six weeks ago, and has
since traveled through the greater por
tion of Nebraska and Northern Kansas,
as well as a portion of Iowa, and has fail
ed to find any place that suited him as
well as Plattsmouth. He has purchased
the above property to occupy, and will
immediately complete the building.
We passed through Billings' Fruit
Hardens a few days since, and must say
that it has been many years since our
eyes were regaled with such a sight
Everything was loaded to its full capaci
ty Apples, Cherries, Plums, Currants,
Blackberries, Raspberries Strawberries,
Grapes, Gooseberries, etc., meet the view
on every side,until one almost forgets he
is in Nebraska, where people say fruit
cannot be raised successfullv.
The " Western Warblers" arrived in
the city yesterday, and gave one of their
unrivalled concerts at the Court House
last night. The turn out was reasonably
good, and every one present left with a
feeling that the evening had been well
spent The troupe is one of merit, and
deserves the patronage of the people. Miss
Georgia Hart has as fine a voice as one of
ten hears in tile west a voice which stirs
the soul of the listener. The " Warb
lers" are on their waylo the Pacific
coast, where we predict they will meet
with great euccess. They give another
; concert at the Court -Heire this evening.
This part of the footstool was visited,
last Friday, by one of the heaviest storms
we have witnessed for years. The rain
came down in torrents, raising all the
streams to their full height. We have
not learned of any particular damage
sustained in consequence of the water.
Fitzgerald has shipped a large number
of plows, scrapers, shovels, etc., which
will arrive in a few days for operation on
the Railroad work. We learn from the
Nebraska City papers that he has been
purchasing there probably the ones
heretofore used on the Midland Pacific
Road.
The Railroad Transfer, N. D. Muiisou,
passed here last Saturday, on her way to-
Omaha, where she will ojK'rate. She
comes from Quiney, Illinois, where they
have no further use fir transfers, as they
have an excellent bridge. We did not
learn what road employed her, but sup
pose it to be the Rock Island. She will
carry two cars at a time, or a locomotive
and tender. ""
It has lcen a well-established fact for
some years that Nebraska is one of the
finest stock countries in the world, but
it has been generally lelieved fliat hog
raising would not pay a very large profit.
In opposition to this belief, we would
place the fact that J. II. Allison, of this
county, brought as fine a drove of hogs
into the city yesterday morning as we
have seen in many years. There was
about 50 in the lot, and there were fif
teen of them under one year old that av
eraged over 3M) pounds each.
3Ir. Jacob 3Iahin left yesterday for a
trip through Iowa and 3Iissouri, and
probably east of the Mississippi. He
proposes delivering an occasional lecture
on "The West," in order to satisfy the
desire that is everywhere manifested to
obtain reliable information concerning
Nebraska. 3Ir. 3Iahin has seen a large
portion of our State, and will bo able to
speak of it from actual observation; and
those contemplating a journey westward
will find that he is not only thoroughly
acquainted with the State, but that his
representations are entirely reliable.
The Statrxmnn' of the "2oth says:
The flood in the Middle and Salt Creek
valleys is excessive. The waters got
over the banks of the streams on Tues
day and now are higher by four feet
than has leen known in ten years. Op
posite the lower (norch) end of Lincoln
the width of water is two miles. Thous
ands of acres of grain on the bottoms be
low are submerged. The rain has been
falling steadily for forty-eight hours, and
the clouds indicate no present cessation.
There is a rumor of the drowning on
Thursdav of some man in 3Iiddle Creek.
We have a sjeciinen of Beet Sugar,
obtained through the kindness of John
F. Buck, Esq., of this county. The su
gar was manufactured at Chatsworth,
Livingston county. Illinois, where, we
understand, there is quite an extensive
manufactory. The specimen we have, is
taste as the finest clarified sugar in this
market, and nearly or quite equal to it
in appearance. We know nothing of the
process of manufacture, but suppose
particulars could be obtained by sending
to Illinois. The specimen. cati be seen
at the Herald ofnee by anyone who has
a curiosity in that direction.
Has our Lincoln neighbor yet learned
that l'lattsmouth is the headquarters of
the B. k 31. R. It. Co. in Nebraska,and
that all Depots, Muchine Shops etc., are
located here? They appear to be ignor
ant of the fact, but are not so ignorant
as to where the 31. P. leaves the Mis
souri river. Come, neighlor, you must
keep up appeprance of fairness towards
this point, even if your hearts are joined
to other idols. It looks bad in you to
endeavor to ignore the point from which
you are soon to be thrown in such close
eontaet.
Judge Kinney has just concluded a con
tract with Moses U. Payne, of Iowa, by
which he has liought all of his lands in
Cass count jr, in this State. The pur
chase amounted to fifteen thousand six
hundred and eighty dollars. This in
cludes some of the very best lands in
Cass county. They wore selected at an
early day by a personal examination of
the county by 3Ir. Payne. A deed was
executed on yesterday to Judge Kinney
for these valuable lands, and we under
stand from the Judge that they will be
put in market at once, in small tracts
only, and only to be sold to actual set
tlers, on time payments, a small payment
in advance. Nttcs.
We find the following in regard to the
"Western Warblers" in the Hamburg
Time. The troupe is sjoken of in the
highest terms of praise by the press
wherever they have been. Here is
what the Times says:
"We attended, last evening, the fir
concert given by the above Company. ana
were highly delighted with their per
formances. We think it decidedly the
best entertainment we have ever heard
in Hamburg. The singing of some of
the troupe is remarkably fine, and 3Ir.
Cook is one of the best violinists in the
couutry. Our town is visited by so many
traveling companies that have no merit
that it is necessary for our people to be
cautious as to whom they patronize.
We wi.-h to assure them that they will
run no risk in attendinur the concert of
the Western Wa'blers this evening and
we advise them to give the troupe a
hearing. Thev perform at Sidney on
Friday and Saturday evenings, and at
Nebraska City on 3londay."
We stated some weeks since that par
ties were here negotiating for property
upon which to erect 3Iachine Shops and
Foundry. The names of the parties re
ferred to were Messrs. Curtis & Way
man, and we are; happy to announce that
they have perfected arrangement, and
will commence operations immediately.
They would have been at work before
this, only they were disappointed in get
ting the lots they desired, owing to the
fact that their fii-st selection was required
by the RailroaoL Thev have secured
grounds near Heisel's Mill, and one of
the am is now down the river ovlenra
' Machinery.
We learn from the News that a young
man named August Rethemeyer, lately
from Cburtville, 111. , was drowned in the
Weeping Water, near the farm of Mr.
Weston on Thursday last. At the time
he was endeavoring to cross the ttreani
with some horses. Search has been
made for the body, but without success.
We understand a couple of low mind
ed villains were invited to unceremonious
ly take their departure from the region
of Four 3Iile Creek a few days ago.
They immediately complied with the re
quest, notwithstanding the waters of
the Creek were dangerously high to
cross.
A wash tub full of queens-ware was
found in the weeds on the river bank,
just above the steamboat landing, last
Tveek, which is supposed to have been
taken from a crate belonging to Vallerys
& Ruffuer. The owner of the tub found
with the dishes can get the same by call
ing at the store and proving property.
We presume they would be glad to see
the owner.
UEPARTIXU OLORY.
Should any of our Omaha friends see
projKT to differ from our views upon
their departing glory question, we simply
refer them to the Herald of their ourn
city as an advocate of the same views we
entertain on .the subject. That journal
calls upon the people of Omaha to look
at "the handwriting upon the railroad
wall," and we think we are able to see
it at this distance.
Cuban Itevolut ions iu WaKliingtou.
Washington. June 28.
Several prominent Cubans, holding
official relations to the Cuban Revolu
tionary government, have lieen in Wash
ington, and had an interview with the
President and several members of the
Cabinet, and prominent Senators.
The assurances given them of sympa
thy with the Cubans in their struggle,
and the political aid of their cause, give
their representatives in this city much
satisfaction. They state that a govern
ment agent will be sent to ascertain the
strength and prospects of the revolution
ists. If favorable, it is their opinion
that the belligerent rights of the Cubans
will be recognized by the government.
Railroads In XcbrnsUa.
Our South Platte friends are wide
awake to their true interests on the
Railroad question. Richadson county is
moving in favor of the Nebraska Trunk
and the Nemaha Valley. Nemaha coun
ty is looking to thu eastern connection
via Quiney and Nebraska Railroad. Ne
braska City is pushing the 3Iidland Pa
cific, and has an eye to the Iowa State
Line Road, and the Nebraska Trunk for
her eastern and north and south connec
tions, l'lattsmouth has already secured
the Burlington for her eastern connec
tion, and the same line for her western
outlet while she has a common interest
with all tljp river towns in the Trunk
Line. Pawnee City, Tecumseh and Falls
City will all be accommodated by the
Nemaha Valley, and Lincoln will be the
railroad center of the South l'latte coun
try, as the Midland Pacific, Burlington
and 3Iissonri River and Nemaha Valley
Railroads all converge at that point.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times
says ol eora?Ka, inusiy.
"From Omaha south to the Kansas line,
and west from the river for a distance of
2K) miles, there can be found the choic
est fanninsr lands, equal to the very lest
prairie in Illinois. Timber is scarce, but
good spring and running water in abund
ance. The soil is a deep, black loam, and
very productive. The climate is the
same as in Illinois, having its sudden
changes, yet not unhealthy. Home
steads may be entered at any time and
tlie best farming lands are lying idle,
waiting for industrious occupants.
Fruit-growing is a success, and all that
is now wanted is the immigration of good
farmers to make Nebraska one among
the lest airricultural States in the west.
Coal, lime, salt, and good building rock
iu abundance. That is all I can now
honestly say alout Nebraska farming
lands, and that is enough.
IMMIfiltVTIOX.
The Chicago agent of the Wisconsin
Immigration Bureau reports that be
tween the Oth and 13th of June, there
arrived at that port 3.8'Jl immigrants, of
which 980 were Norwegians, 1,;j00
Swdes, 1,150 German, loo Danes, and
100 Irishmen, altogether 3,890. Of this
number 730 Scandinavians went to Wis
consin to settle there. 350 to Iowa, 800
to 3Iinncsota, 40 to Illinois, and the rest
to Kansas ami Nebraska, and some tew
families to Dakota. Of the Germans,
about 430 went to Wisconsin, and the
greater part of the rest to 3Iinnesota.
This would leave 884 Scandinavians to
Nclna.sk nd Kansas, for the week
occuring between the Oth and the 13th
of June. We arc not informed u. to the
proiortion of Scandinavian immigrants
going to those two States, but suppose
they are alout emial. A little attention
to this matter iu New York and Chicago
would largely increase the influx of Ger
mans and Scandinavians into Nebraska.
All we iret at nresent is through the in
tervention of strangers. Is it not high
time that we avail ourselves of the ser
vices of an active and intelligent immi
grant agent, at least in New York city?

where the Indian enormities had been
committed, and ascertained that more

Four surveying parties were in the
field. All had returned. I wo ot them

party say they were attacked by a small
hand, which fled after the surveying
nartv had hred tour or hve shots.
All the surveying parties were fright
ened and thev decliuc returning to be
fired at.
At present the Indians are not com
bined, and do not intend to bring on a
regular war. Small bands are scouring
the country, with the intention of killing
and plundering.
Settlers and trains arc in great danger

Gen. Schotield has comparatively few

TESTIMONY.
The Ctxcinxati Daily Times )
of March 21, 18G1, says: J
The Scandinavian
remedies appear to
be growing in favor
with the public, if
wre may judge by
the testimonials con
stantly received by
the proprietor. A
letter from Wiscon
sin, to be found in
our advertising col
umns, announce that
among the physi
cians of the locality
it is becoming very
popular, and what is
very unusual, is be
ing adopted by them
in their practice, as
a cure for many dis
eases wiiich they can
not treat effectually
in any other way.
We understand that
the immense trade
carried on for sev
eral years in these
medicines has dur
ing the present year
nearly doubled.
Their process of
operation is by a
thorough purifica
tion of the blood,
and a consequent
eradication of disease.
