She gjrtrartii QttM. PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA. THURSDAY, JTI'Y TIIlTECTIO.V. Lat Saturday on the proposition to U nuo Plattsmouth Precinct Bonds result ed in a mijority of 156 in favor of the bond. A LOW BRIDGE Will le built across the Missouri river here it being the only point on the up per Missouri where a low bridge can be built. Here the channel is always in the same place and the foundation t substantial. BTIIDHOISIS. The great cry now Li for more houses. If the owners of lots in this city expect to retain one half the people that come here for the next fix months they must commence to build houses riht away. Do not delay, for the, rush is upon us and will continue to increase. Build houses! The Her. Mr. Cheney, of Chicago, who has recently been called to account by Bi.-hop Whitchouse for his Low Church proclivities, said in his sermon on Sunday last:, "I could tell you of a clergyman, high in station in this very city, preaching to his people on the eve of communion what? Not the prcat truth which that Facrament commemor ates, but the duty of receiving the bread it the hands crossed, and of carrying it to the lips without touching it with the finders." WORK! WORK!! If any man fails to feel the reality of the B. & M. R. R., let him walk from this city to the mouth of Platte river. Only a few men say 2- or 30 com menced work last Monday, but the num ber has been increased every day during the week, and by the last of next week there will be 300 men and 100 teams at work on the road within five miles of Plattsnioutb. Come and see if you are incredulous. TUE DA.WE Last Monday evening was a complete success. The two large halls in Masonic block were filled, and the dancers en joyed themselves until the "wee snia hours." The breaking of ground for a Railroad is not an every day occurrence in Plattsmouth, and such an occasion nat urally makes many a pair of usually se date feet feel light and sets them to keep ing time with the violin. The owners are not to blame the feet are '"to many'' for them. l B-C'OXT It CTH. Contractor Fitzgerald informs us that he has sub-let about twenty-five miles of the grade work we.t from Plattsmouth. This work, besides what Fitzgerald will do himself, will all be completed thus fall. The sub-contractors arc al ready at work in several places, and in less than ten days men will be at work upon nearly every mile of road for fifty miles west from this city. T1IF.HE IS NOXEY IX IT. In what? In erecting buildings in this city for rent Just think of Esq. O'Ncil's building, one door west of the Herald office, renting for $G0 per month, Fiokler's Meat Market and adjoining stable for $00 ier month, Amison's buildine (old post office) south-west corner Main and Third streets for $40 per month. Who says there is not money to be . made by building houses to rent ? I).?.? anybody want to make money ? TO FORT KEARVF.V, It is quite customary now-a-dajs for newspapers of this State to speak of different projected Railroad) being built through "to Ft. Kearney." Now, it so happens that the B. M. It. 11. Co. in Nebraska is now building a line to Kear ney, and there is hardly a possibility much less a probability that any other line will be built along side of it very soon. If any other roads are built west in Nebraska they will probably not reach further than Lincoln where they will con nect with the great through line of the B. & M. R. R. A riTTlXU DAY. The Fourth of July the day upon which the Nation's Independence was declared was an appropriate time for commencing work on the B. & 31. R. R. in Nebraska. The road is one over which the national commerce will pass, and one in whose success the nation fchould feel an interest. Aside from the local advantages to be derived from this road, the State and the county at large have an interest in the development of the country through which it parses, as well as in the trade which it brings to our country. JOII.V FITZGERALD, ESQ... Has the reputation of being the most expeditious Railroad contractor in the United States. He commenced his ca reer as a Rail Rord contractor away back in New Jersey, had a contract on the Iloosac Tunnel, has worked his way west on the li. & 31. R. R., and now has a sixty mile contract west from Plattsmouth which he willbe able to complete within six months, and that too without drawing a dollar from the company before the work is completed. ot'R m:eramka('ITT Neighbor, of the Pre, jubilates very muchly with a hefty display heading over the "good railroad news" for that city, eto., and says l'at last" they "have light," etc. We have carefully read, as many as three different times, the article which started off with such a flowing heading, and have been unable to dis cover anything that even Kjuinted to ward a railroad to Nebraska City. All we have to say is if the railroad pros pects of Nebraska City are all as indefi nite as this one over which the Press en deavors to get up a sensation, then we pity her. indeed. The Press can cer tainly draw consolation frctn the least favorable circumstance of any paper we BREAKING GROUND 1 1 THE WORK COMMENCED ! The B.&M. R. R. and July 4th! Outpouring of the People ! .A GALA DAT FOR PLATTSttOFTII ! According to previous notice, the peo ple commenced to assemble early last 3Ionday morning to witness the ceremo ny of breaking ground on the Burlington & Missouri Jliver Railroad in Nebraska, and long before the time appointed for forming the procession every street and alley in the vicinity of the Court House was crowded with carriages, wagons, horsemen and footmen, all eagre to see the commencement of the work so long hoped for. At 2 o'clock the procession formed in front of the Court House, in accordance with published -programme, as follows: Plattsmouth Brass Band, County, City and Railroad officials in carriages, Invited guests in carriages, 3Iasonic Lodges on foot, Odd Fellows Lodges on foot, Good Templars Lodge on foot, Citizens on foot, Citizens on horseback, Citizens in carriages and wagons. The whole cavalcade moved off un der the supervision of Sheriff Johnson, Capt. Bennett and 3Iarshal 3Inrphy, who were acting 3Iarshals of the day. The line of march was west on 3Iain street to Fourth ; north on Fourth street to Vine ; west on Vine street to to Sixth; south on Sixth street to 3Iain ; east on 3Iain street to Secoud ; north ou Second street to Railroad Depot Grounds. The procession was near a mile in length, aud probably not one-half the people assem bled joined the procession. Upon arriv al at the Depot Grounds Mayor Wheeler (who was also President of the day) call ed the peoxle to order, and in a few ap propriate remarks stated the object for which the vast multitude had assembled. Chaplain Cutter then invoked the blessing of Deity upon the assemblage and upon the enterprise. Gen. R. R. Livingston was introduced, who spoke for the space of fifteen min utes, giving a kind of an outline history of Railroads in general, and of the B. & M. R. R. Co. and their interests in par ticular ; and showing what, judging from the past, we might expect in thefuture. Hon. T. M. Marquett was introduced, and he made one of his characteristic speeches, welcoming the representatives of the enterprise, and guaranteeing to them the good will and supiort of the people. Next came S. Duke, Esq. , who told us of the days and years the people had waited for Ihe commencing of work on this line of road, and of the joy he felt in common with others that our fondest hopes are now to be realized. 3Iayor Wheeler then descended from the platform, and amid strains of music and deafening shouts from the multitude, turned the first shovel-full of earth on the Burlington & 3ILssouri River Railroad in Nebraska. The shovel was then passed to Col. Peck, Engineer in charge of the work, who, on behalf of the Railroad Compa ny, thanked the people of Cass county for the substantial aid rendered the Com pany, as well as for the good feeling they tmfWd ; and assured them that the time for work had arrived, and that the company intended to fully carry- out everj- promise made. After turning a shovelfull of earth on behalf of the company, Col. Peck passed the shovel into the hands of John Fitz gerald, Esq., who has the contract for building the road for sixty miles weht from Plattsmouth. 3Ir. Fitzgerald said speech making was not his forte, but that when there was work to be done, as was the case here, he knew how to do it. He turned a shovelfull of dirt and passed the shovel to A. Carmichael, Esq., President of the Board of County Commissioners, who said he took pride in assisting at this ceremony, and that he felt that his even act in connection with the railroad ques tion in Cass County would Iks heartily approved by the people. At this juncture 3Irs. John F. Buck ami Mr. J. D. Simpson stepped forward and each threw a shovelfull of dirt into the air, amid the wildest enthusiasm. Jacob Vallery on behalf of the Mason ic Fraternity, F. 31. Dorrington on be half of the Odd Fellows and W. D. Fcr ree on behalf of the Good Templars, each turned a shovelfull of dirt, and the shov el was then passed into the hands of 3Ir. Taylor, Contractor Fitzgerald's efficient, foreman, under whose guidance, in the hands ot the stalwart men who are to use the various grading implements,, it is to be hoped much earth will be moved before frost visits us. Some fifteen or twentj- men immediate ly seized the various spades and picks which were in readiness, and proceeded with the work in earnest, amid music and cheering which was heartfelt. After cheers for the Railroad, cheers for the Contractor, and cheers for the men that were to do the work, the crowd dis persed, feeling better than any assem blage of the size we ever witnessed. The entire programe was carried out without a jar, and all things nugur well for the early completion of this great line of road whic h will be second to none .on the Continent, and which . insures the developement of the finest country iu the world that lying between Platts mouth and Fort Kearnev. THE RAILROAD BRIDGE Over the 3Iiseouri river at this point will be built at the rocky point, near the south line of the Depst grounds. It is the best point to bridge the 3Iis souri river within a undr3-l miles, hav ing good rock bottom all the way aero?. Oli ! WHAT A STRFGGLi: ..-Morton is certainly the most face tious writer we know of. The man who has the nerve to publish' the following, under the circumstances, could play the part f Nero at the burning of Rome. - The struggle between the 31. P. & B. 31., as to which shall snort the first lo comotive into the capital of the State of Nebraska will be short, sharp and deci sive. We have every confidence In the suieri or management of capitalists who have in charge the construction of the 3Iid land Road. It will therefore, as a mat ter of course, be completed long before the road from Plattsmouth. Upon this we congratulate Ncbraka City. The bare idea of comparing the "Olid land company with the B. & 31. R. R. Co., is sufficient to make a horse laugh; but when Morton speaks of the "superior management" of White, Rolfe, Bennet, etc., it is enough to start a broad grin even upon the countenances of those worthies themselves. We have no doubt of the '"decisiveiiess" of the thing when the I. & 31. blows her first whistle in Lincoln. It will "decide" several questions. STATE SKWS. From the Fremont Tribune we clip the following: 3Irs. Anderson, an elderly lady living west of town, was bitten by a rattlesnake on last Sunday 3Iorning, , The bite was in the hand, and quite severe, but thro' the prompt assistance of Dr. L. J. Ab bot no serious injury resultud. Our citizens are really in earnest about bridging the Platte river, and so soon as the river can be surveyed an J estimates made we may look for such action as will set the work in motion. The severe rains of the past ten days have prevent ed a thorough examination of the river ami approaches. J udge Crounso favored Cuming coun ty with a session of court lasting two days, in which time all needed business was transacted. Our neighbors certain ly must be ieaceable people. A man from the south side of the Platte, having iu his possession about $3!)0 iu money, and notes and drafts to the sum of $2,000, came to town a few days ago, and being fond of something to drink, soon brought himself to a condi tion wlxre he was unable to take care of himself. While- in this state somebody relieved him of his possessions. Two men, named respectively Riley and Mil likin, were arrested on suspicion of hav ing stolen the money, but were dis charged on proving an alal.L From the Nemaha Journal: The Kansas & Nebraska Stage Com pany is extending its lines in Nebraska. A line between Tecumseh aud Lincoln lias been established, which will make a continual line from Rulo to Lincoln via Pawnee City and Tecumseh. This is an advantage to the people of Richardson county. This Stage Company, through their gentlemanly Superintendent, S. P. Wheeler, Esq., have gained the confi dence of the public for promptness and excellent staging facilities. The school lands of this county were all offered for sale on 3Ionday of this week by W. II. Mann, Esq., Couuty Clerk. There were 1770 acres of them sold, at an average price of $8,K) per acre. The number of acres sold was about one-sixth of the amount offered for sale. The north half of section 1 G, town 2, range 10. adjoining Falls City, was purchased by E. Shellabarger, Esq., of Juniata county, Pa., at an average of alout $12 per acre. 3Ir. S. purposes to begin "breaking" on this land within a few days, with a view to putting the whole under cultivation. We clip the following from tbe Blair Rcrisfre: Hon. T. Kenn ird, our Stat-j Secretary, paid a visit to Blair, this week, circula ted among his numerous friends in those parts and look after his business matters. 3Ir. Kennard h:is concluded to lay out a portion of his land, lying south of the town plat, into resident lots of from one to two acres, and put them into the mar ket immediately. The addition will em brace some magnificent lx-ations, and add much to the beauty of-Blair, when improved with private residences. The Rulo Rcrji.ter says: The total valuation of Richardson co., according to the last assessment rolls, is estimated , at two million one hundred and ninety-five thousand one hundred and twenty-five dollars. But this figure is undoubtedly far behind the mark; and our actual worth is consuleiaLly over three millions. Value of iwrsonality about three fourths of a million. The Government snag boat, "S. II. Long," passed down the river yesterday, and was engaged several hours in remov ing obstructions from the channel just lielow the warehouse. The Tecumseh Gazette has the follow ing; 3Ir. II. E. Taylor, laid ujon our tablj this morning a specimen of Tron Ore, which he found laying on the surface, on his farm, aud about one half mile from Tecumseh. The lump weighs about one jwund, and containing Iron in a propor tion to render it exceeding profitable, if found in any abundance.and it is thought it will 1?. Of course this discovery has created great excitement among our citi zens, but we advise all to "keep cool," until we see how it will "pan out." AVe will give more attention to the matter next week. The specimen is on our table for in spection for all who desire to examine it. The Scliraslcum says: A Great portion of the land in Rich ardson county is still in a state of nature. There is room jet for hundreds of as fine farms as can le made. We believe that every resident iu the country can induce at least one iK-rson to emiirrate from other parts and find a home here. Try it By this means the country will be peopled, improvements go on more rap idly than ever before, and real estate rise in value proportionately. The height of impudence has been obtained py a Connecticut attorney, who lost all his money at a faro-bank in Hart ford, complained of the place to the jo lice. got his money back, and took the same money to the same place the same night to play again. Switcli. The Hon.. John B. Bonnet, in our hearing, the other day, declared the B. A: 31. Road to Nebraska City a "Swieth" Because Mr. Bennet is engaged in con structing a Trans Continental Railway is no reason why he slnmld be unkind to smaller lines. A ics. The 3f is inclined to be severe on 3Ir. Bennet, as well as to be sarcastic upon his road. By careful examination it will be noticed that every item in the Ar relative to the 3Iidland road bears evidence of an under thrust at the com pany, ami yet the Hkkald is censured for a little levity occasionally. Where's White? 'E.HAItA VALLEY R. 1 The Pawnee Tribune of June 20th has the following in relation to the probabili ties of constructing the above road: x We opine we shall hear little more about the Nemaha Valley railroad for .several years. Johnson county has voted bonds to aid it, and to has Richsrdson. In the Litter county bonds were voted for the Trunk road at the same time. It was necessary to include the N. V. R. R. to carry the vote for the Trunk. All the cities of wealth aloug the river from St. l-iouis to Omaha, including Kansas City, Leavensworth, Atchison and Nebraska City, and all the smaller towns, are more or less interested in the Trunk road, and it is possible that in two or three years they may build it; they may perhaps get ten miles of it finished this year, so as to secure a portion of our State lands. But who is goin to build the Valley road? Where is the money coming from? '(.),' they'll tell you, 'the same company are going to build it that build the Trunk road; they want a road to Lincoln !' and 'the citizens along the Valley will sub scribe largely.' Well, suppose they do .subserilnj.' What will that amount to? The valley is thickly settled we admit, with homesteads and others. Some of them are worth several thousand dollars. But how many miles of road could they build with all the money they could pos sidlygive? Does any unprejudiced man believe the Trunk road company will build it until they get the Truuk road finished? And if they want connection with Lincoln they will have it by way of the 31. L. 1. from Nebraska City. Jhe writer evidently means the B. & 31. It. It. from Plattsmouth. Ed. IIekald.J The distance will not le increased over fifteen miles in going by Nebraska City. The friends of the Valley road were very vehement in their assertions last Fall and inter that "the road would be complet ed Wore frost was out of the ground,' and some of them even thought that it would be finished before September. The year is half gone how, and they have not, we believe, struck the first spade. Tliev certainly do not intend to build ten miles this year. Those living along tins line of the road doubtless allowed themselves to be cheer ed by the prospect; and property rose somewhat in value, but the reaction from failure will over-balance all the good it will do. You 'feel' for us. do vou Tecumseh? When you get out of the woods, you may crow. Give Home Trade I lie Preference. There is such a thing as business com ity. It is not prescril)ed by statute law or the decalogue, and a man may be hon 'stand respectable who habitually violates it Nevertheless it is impor tant and obligatory, and in some cases at least, essential to success. In a new place whiJi has its business to build up, and its position and prosperity to create, the duty and sound policy of patronizing honie trade should be too obvious to re quire much argument. Yet there are sonic who violutc thi Hooial obligation, without much thought of the results. It does not seem to occur to them that they cannot expect encouragement from those they refuse to patronize. To illustrate, a grocer may perhaps save five dollars on a suit of clothes bv ordering them m Chicago or St. louis; a tailor here may make a corresponding saving on his groceries by purchasing them in quantity at Chicago or some other center of trade; a boot-maker here may obtain his clothing and groceries cheaper abroad than at home. But what is to become of trade and manufacture in Denver if we go into this sort of econ omy? It is obvious that prices generally must be enouirh higher hero to cover not only freight, but the higher cost of labor and living. This does not justify exorbi tant prices, and no one is bound to pay such prices, from any regard to the gen eral prosjK.'rity of the place. Yet busi ness comity does require that each be willing to pay the others the same extra prices he is obliged to ask in his own business. And this thing comes round even at last, for the five dollars extra in the case supposed, goes through the hands of lailor, grocer, boot-maker, printer, and others; business is kept at home, everybody has fair pay for his la bor, fair profit upon his investments, and all prosper and are satisfied. By the policy of sending abroad in or der to save a trifle, what the individual gains the community loses in the end the individual loses also by the general de cline in business. We do not say that any man should submit to extortions in order to sustain home enterprise, but that business comity and a wise regard to the interests of the city and territory rcimro tlint every man ehouid be willing to pay living prices for home produce, instead of sending work and trade away, for the sake of a" small saving. The le gal right to buy in the cheapest market is beyond dispute, but after all these suggestions of business comity are sound and nothing will be gained in .the long run by disregarding them. Denver Xetcs Oliiousjo, Rock IInul V Rrownvllle Riiilroiiti. The friends of this enterprise, no doubt,, are working industriously for its -speedy consnmatsoii. Thej' prroerly estimate its gigantic importance and wiil display an activity in pushing it through unparalleled in the history of railroading. Our railroad co-workers at Hamburg should communicate their action to the committee of correspondence of this city. Tin's was the understanding when they met us here some time ago. There is oiuch anxiety felt to know the expression of the people along the rich Nishnabota na valley. , The route is the finest that could be desired in all respects, and we cannot conceive any obstacles to its con struction. Nature certainly designed it for a magnifiicent railway. Our readers shall be kept advised res pecting this enterprise as it is developed or progresses, and to this end we call on our Hamburg friends to give us all light possible on the subject.: J3roiciniUe Democrat. A new and somewhat remarkable plant has lately been introduced into England from Nicaragua. It is a gigantic skunk cabbage, having a single leaf fourteen feet loug. on a stem ten feet lone The blossom is two feet long, on a stem eight ; inches thick, and exhales a very fetid i ouor. Mr. James Etcs, of Jonesboro. Tenn., has a pet in the shape of a horned rattle snake. It was captured on the Rocky Mountains, has 12 rattles, a large, flat, rea head, ana is about tnree teet in 4 length. There are two large horns situ ated on the top of his head, and three spikes to each norn. IMallsiiioutti. We visited the city , of Plattsmouth last week, and saw several things that pleased us. AVe did not observe many improvements in building over three years ago, but tho few that were visibly seem to be on solid foundations and to have been constructed with a view of permanent use. We saw a great many live, active men old settlers, who have for many years remaiiKnl undaunted by the cloud of lethargy which had settled around them, and kept full of faith that there was a good time coming. SImi son, White & Buttery, Duke, Vallervs k Ruffner. Doom Bros., John Black, Wheeler, Wise, 3Iaxwell, 3Iarquette, and others, are among the men who have endured much waiting, and whose J patience is soon to be rewarded by see ing their town grow up into a lively, bustling city of good dimensions. We saw lioarding cars, and shovels, pickaxes, scrapes, plows, etc., for imme diate use on the Burlington and 3Iissou ri River Railroad Extension, from Platts mouth west, landed from steamboats. We sawr eastern capitalists taking ad vantage of present prices, and buying largely of real estate in and around Platts mouth. We saw in the real estate office of D. II. Wheeler Co., tfio best set of Title Abstract Books we ever saw anywhere. We saw a better hotel in the Platte Valley House under the management of Capt. E. B. .Murphy than there is in Omaha anyhow. We saw lots of new type in the Herald office, preparations for an enlargement of that newspaper, awl other gratifying evidences of the financial prosperity of Bro. Hathaway than whom no editor in the State is more deserving of success He has played a lone hand against ad versity and will make four points. We saw General Livingston, the Surveyor-General for Nebraska, who has made arrangements for having a great amount of public surveying done this year, by competent deputies; and who will make as good an officer as the Gov ernment has ever had in so responsible a position. We saw in Plattsmouth the scene of many a Democratic Convention classic ground, indeed surrounded now by the ghosts of the departed greatness of the party. We saw there also, the cussedest ar rangements for getting passengers to and from the Pacific City railroad depot. It is so bad, we can't do justice to the sub ject. We saw fewer whisky shops in Platts mouth than there were a few years ago. For this, thanks are due the brave men and women who compose Olive Branch Lodge of Good Templars, and who are determined to fight on in the war of ex termination against alcohol and its tribe. We saw Pottengcr, and 3Iarshall, and Cooper, and Chapman, and Erwin. aud a whole lot more of the fine-haired fel lows, all lively and serene Pot's sereni ty being the most remarkable, "seeing as how" he has made no official connec tion whatever with the present Adminis tration. And we saw actually saw on 3Iain street, a Black Crook, a White Fawn, a Velocipede, and a Grecian Bend. Lincoln Stotrsnia n . A Jewish Synnosrue to be Knll3iliel nt Lineolii.

Tlie Scourse of l March of a DeMrtftfing Army Gras hnpjiers on the Win j A TraJz of Pcxolation Left Behind, . - Countless myriads of grasshoppers have lately made their appearance on the north and east shore f Salt Laka, and are marching or hopping toward the Chy of the Desert. The ground around Promontory Point is literally black with the young and rapacious insects. They are now about three-fourths of an inch in length, black in color, and more resem bling a cricket than a grasshopper. But as they increase in size, their color changes to brown. Alxiut two weeks since these pests made their first appear ance in that section, being then about au eight of an inch in length, and having the appearance of sand crickets. They grew rapidly and very voracious. , destroy ing everything in their way. For miles the track of t he railroad is black with these destroying insects, the ties and rails being hidden from view by the thou sands perched thereon. Salt Lake City has been cleared of vegetation before by these pests, and in each case the countless hosts have made their first appearance to the north and west of the city, devastating their fields and gardens when passing through on their way to the south and westward. Two years ago, such a scourge swept over the city, destroying every green thing, even to the growth of wood and vine of the previous season. 3Iillion of the insects perished in the lake, fir it seems that nothing turns them when on their destroying march. In a day the beautiful gardens and orchards of the citv were left so bare of verdure as tho a fire had swept over them. From tlic account given us, it appears that the citv will again be visited by this scourge, which passed over Salt Lake two years since, continued its march, and the following season made an appear ance in the lower end of the Great Basin, where ttie scenes ot the previous year were re-enacted. This season the hordes have appeared in the extreme southern 3Ioruion settlements, where they de stroyed even- thing before them. They are now some five hundred miles from Salt Lake, the localities over which they passed, having had one year's respite from tho ravage. It seems that when these insects reach maturity they deposit their eggs in the soil ami uie. Ihe tol lowing season the eggs are hatched by the warmth ot the spring and a new ar my follows iu the. march. THE Ul ISt'Y R. R. It seems that Brownville is about to prove the successful competitor for the railroad from Quincy. Nebraska : City made a noble effort, but it seems from the following, which we find in the Brownville Democrat, that the question is pretty much settled in favor of Brown ville: Brownville. June 20, 1800. J he delegates to jvirksville have re turned successful, the swarming of land sharks and speculators to gobble up town lots and other things was unusually vig orous, culminating in a dense throng by the Court lloue ana the nanner cl ay lor lot sales among all Brownvill's days, and terminating in a general demand fr a public healing from the delegates, ring ing ot Ix-lls, and crowding and scram bling up the court houe stairway till the building would hold no more, 3Iecting called to order by S. 31. Rich, on whose motion Dr. A. S. Holladay was elected chairman, and on motion of C. E. 31c Pherson. Esq., J. H. Broady was cho sen secretary. Hon. J. S. Church being called, very clearly narrated the action of tho Kirks vi'Ie convention. Said the road was es tablished from Quincy to Brownville, with both named in the charter n the termini, which could not legally be chang ed. That Brownville could secure; a permanent director by subscribing 10, OOO stock, which responsibility the Brownville delegation shouldered; asked assistance in carrying the same. He elo-od with a glowing exortation to im mediate untiring action, winch did cre dit not onlv to the cause but also to him who so feelingly spoke in its behalf. Dr. 3IcPherson. Senator Tipton. Col. Furnas, Dr. Blackburn, Col. Rich, and others, followed in speeches spiced with rounds of applause while all eyes beamed the light of locomotion. The road had a clear ring none to oppose. There was but one opinion with all upon the floor, and each had more opinion than he ever had before. Col. Rich offered the following, which was unanimously adopted: 'ofaed. That we fuKy endorse and hereby ratify, and confirm, all ami sin gular the acts of our delegates to the Kirksville Railroad Convention, and to them do hereby extend our thanks for their skillful and efficient performance of duty; and that our thanks are due Col. Furnas, for his ac tive efforts for railroads generally, and his earnest co-operation in our present movement On motion 3Iessrs. A. P. Cogswell, J. W. Blackburn, and A. W. 3Iorgui, were selected as a committee to procure sub scription to said stock taken by the dele gates to Kirksville. ; On motion meeting adjourned, 'alivo to the fact that some points have greatness from their own works, and some from the work of others; but Brownville and Nemaha county have loth. A. S. HoLLADAV CVn. J. II. Broady, Sec. RICir AKIIHOX COIXTT Is situated in ths extreme southeastern portion of the State of Nebraska. ; It has an area of about 5G0 square miles. It is bounded on the north by Nemaha coun ty; on the east by the Missouri river: on tbe south by the 4oth parallel N. lati tude; on the west by Pawnee county. Its geographical location contributes much to its importance, and as an agri cultural district it is unsurpassed by the same extent of territory anywhere iii tlie world. The climate is salubrious. No swamps or marshes. An unprecedented immigration has entered here, and many capitalists are developing .our natural resources as fust as money and persever ance can do it. Tlie area of wild lands subjugated within . the past eighteen months is equal to one half of our culti vated land prior to that time. Number of voters about two thousand. Popula tion about eight thousand. Taxes for 1809, twenty mills on the dollar. Num lr of towns, five. Work will soon commence on the Trunk road, which will follow the bank of the Missouri riv er Irom the southern to the northern line. The county has just voted Sir.o.fHV) to aid an interior road the Nemaha' Valley which is to start at Rulo, and run to Lincoln City. It is expected that work will commence on this road within thirty days. Tlie construction of these roads will secure for Southern Nebraska a home xeholemh market at Rulo, at which place will be tho junction of the two roads. Crops look promising, and our citizens will have an immense surplus of grain and general produce to ship at the end of the year on the new railroad. Real estate is rapidly enhancing in value, but still farms can be secured on very reasonable terms.

Til Murcli to Ilie.Sea fii.KlimiRbt Acccual '1 hereof. Ill General Sherman's practical an 1 characteristic' address the other day to the West Point class, he said : I have oftentimes been asked by friends familiar with Xonophon, Hume and Jommi; in which of these books I had learned the secret of leading armies on bug difficult inarches, and they seemed surprised when I answered that I was not aware that 1 had been influenced by any of them. I told them what I now tell you in all simplicity and trnth, that when I was a young Lieutenant of artil lery I had often limited deer in the swamps of the Edisto, the Cooper and the Santee, and had seen with my eyes that they could be passed with wagons ; and in the spring of 1841 Iliad ridden on horeseback from 3Iarietta, Georgia, to the valley of the Tennessee and back to Augusta, passing in my course over the very fields of Altoona, of Kenesaw, and Atlanta, where afterwards it fell to my share to command armies and to utilize the knowledge thus casually gained. Again in 1840 and 1850 1 was in Califor nia,, and saw arriu across that wide lelt of 2,000 miles of uninhabitable country, the caravans of emigrants, composed of men, women and children, who reached destination in health and strength ; and when we used to start on a journey l.oou miles, with a single, blanket as covering, a coil of dried meat and a sack of parch ed corn meal as food. With this knowl edge fairly acquired in active experience was there any need forme to lookback to Alexander the Great, to 3Iarlborouh for example ? Wouid I r.ot rather have miles of uninhabited country that lay be tween me. and been worthy of censure had I hesitated when duty called, to con duct a well organized army, thoroughly equipped and abundantly supplied, across the few enemies of our Government ? At Lebanon, N. II., a few days ago, a dog belonging to the Rev. C. A. Down-s had a slight ''unpleasantness" with a wood-chuck, and the later seized him I13 the check and refused to relinquish his hold. With remarkable presence of mind, his dogship repaired to a brook near by, and sousing the wood -chuck un der, held him there until he was drowned. Says the Adrance: "Rip Van Winkle is not dead after all. He has only been taking another nap. A lady of our ac quaintance, who has just returned from passing the winter iu Florida, states that a planter made his appearance in town from the depths of the everglades, bring ing with him two negroes for sale. He was actually ignorant that there had been a war! ''Imagine his feelings at the sud den depreciation of his movable property!"
