Nebraska City advertised to have au
excursion over the Midland yesterday.
We presume the fact of the Governor
being in Plattsmouth interfered with
the programme. Gor. Butler and Col.
Poane left this city this morning for
Nebraska City, and the excursion was
probably held this p. in.
The Press cays Gov. Butler aud suit
was to participate in the Railroad excur
ion. The Governor's suit is nothing
extraordinary it is made of plain black
cloth, and the only peculiarity " we no

after the Quaker style. We don't see
the necessity of advertising the Governor
and suit, as it is hardly to be Bupposed

The Omaha Herald is badly exercised
because Gov. Butler has been to Wash

It appears from our Nebraska City ex
changes that W. II. II. Waters, editor
and proprietor cf the Morning Chronicle,
is making application for the Post OfSce
at that city, and that J. Sterling Morton
is especially opposed to hU appointment.
If there is anythiug that should be a
strength to Waters it is the fiict that
Morton is bitterly opposed to him.
Morton's endorsement of any man claim
ing to be a Republican is considered
prima facia evidence that there is some
tVing wrong. We always liked Jake.

Mr. Kennedy ia visiting our city with a

efforts. Messrs. Raymond St Kennedy
have an extensive flour mill at Osceola,
capable of grinding f00 to $00 bushels
of wheat every twenty-four hours. Such
a mill as that in Plattsmouth would be
of great benefit to the country. Mr.
Kennedy says Nebraska wheat is a supe
rior article, capable of producing the
very be.-t of flour.
W. n. II. Waters is absent from the
city, and a'l the small fry ink splattercrs

That's the talk. The man who has

AOIiIEit TEAM IX.
About 4 o'clock this p. m. a team and
wagon belonging to Walter J. White
broke through the ice near the warehouse
south -f town. The team was taken
out uninjured, but at the present
writing the wagon and one harness has
not been recovered. Mr. White is pecu
liarly unfortunate, having lost a horse
only a short time since by getting a leg
broken.
A FALSE ALARM.
A report was current on the streets all
day to-day that a stage-coach containing
fourteen passengers, went through the
ice last evening at Nebra ka City. We
have taken pain3 to ascertain and find
there is r.o truth in the report. Mr.
Shea, railroad telegraph operator, tele
graphed to the agent at East Nebraska
City, who replied that there was no truth
in the report
THRO CGH THE ICET

About 3 o'clock Saturday while a large
number of teams were on the ice, two wag
ons broke through at the upper crossing,
almost simultaneously. The horses were
saved from loth, but one wagon went
oat of sight before anything could be
done to save it The other was taken
out after some difficulty.
"THE LIJCOLX."
The new locomotive of the above
name, for the B. k M. of Nebraska, is
now at the engine house on the other
side of the old muddy awaiting the first
favorable opportunity for transportation
to this side, which will not be until the
ice breaks up. Four other new ones will
arrive at a early day, making six new
and three old locomotives flr use on this
road during the coming season.

A WATER CASK OKTIXO o.OOO.
Probably no person who has visi'ed
Plattsmouth during the past two months
has failed to notice the huge water t .nk
of the B. fc M. Railroad Company which
stands near the machine fchops, yet we
doubt if any person who has admired its
immense proportions and neatness of
structure had a very accurate idea of its
cost. It cost something over tfi.OOG
enough to build an elegant residence or
a fine brick business house.

Mr. Hathaway Sir: I take this

four weeks it is an old paper before we

J The Chroiicle of Sunday morning con-

last Saturday, and expresses much joy
at tho completion of the requisite ten
mile. We rejoice with our Nebraska

may continue their road westward to a
profitable connection. Dr. Converse,the
builder of the road, Mr. White and the
other members of the company, the
newspapers of the city, and the people
generally of the county are deserving of
great credit for the energy displayed in
the building of this ten miles of road.
They have labored under many disadvan
tages, but have succeeded nobly in their
undertaking. They have accomplished
this much solely by home enterprise,
without the aid of eastern capital, and
are therefcre entitled to a far greater
meed of praise than those localities that
have had none of the disadvantages to
contend with which have annoyed our
Nebraska City friends. Hurrah for the

Macoy Lodge No. 22, F k A. M..
were the recipient of a beautiful present
last evening, the generous gift of Robt.
Macoy; Past Grand Commander, Past
Grand Secretary, tc, of New York, as
a token of his respect and fraternal es
teem. The present was highly appro
priate and will be duly appreciated, not
for its intrinsic worth only, but that it
was the sacred word of Deity, the rule
aud guide of Masonic faith The Holy
Bible one of the largest, most beau- j
tiful, bound in morocco, with tho name
and number of the Lodge upon the back
in gilt letters; also a beautiful Masonic
device upon the cover, inside on the title-
J page is a fine steel engraving of the donor,
also a splendid pen inscription Presented
by Robt. Macoy." Accompanying this
beautiful present was a life size bust of
Bro. Macoy a present that is highly
prized an.! will be carefully preserved by
the members of Macoy J odge. The
presentation ceremony took place after
the Iiodge had been called "from labor
to refreshment." W. M., J. N. Wise
made the presentation on behalf of Bro
Macoy, with a few appropriate and sug
gestive remarks. Bro. S. M. Chapman
responded on behalf of the Lodge with a
fine speech, overflowing with genuine
gratitude and many kind wishes, and
tendering the heartfeii hanksof the Breth
eren of Macoy Lodge N o. 22, to Brother
Macoy for his very generous gift The
whole affair was quite a surprise, Brother
Wise having received the box containing
the present by express, charges paid,
without having the slightest intimation
of its contents. A? a fitting finale to these
attractive ceremonies, a sumptuous ban
quet prepared bj' the Lodge rounded off
and completed the episode. The Lodge
was then closed in due form, peace and
harmony prevailing.
A TRIP TO ASIILAXD.
Last Monday morning we boarded one
of tx-c Wooici u CVuiiio unu.kc9
and started for Ashlatd. (Nat Brown
knowing wc were ''broke," passed us
over the line, for which we hope he may
never be caught in that predicament
of being broke.) We arrived at the
great city, of which wc have heard so
much recently, in good time, and stopped
with Rev. Munhall, who has just opened
a new hotel. We found even-thing in
first-class order, clean and wholesome
fjod, well cooked, and the best beds we
ever found at a hotel anywhere. Wc
under?tandhe has just been appointed
Stage agent, and we must congratulate
the traveling public ujKn finding such
good accomodations in Ashland. The
improvements in Ashland during the
paiit nix months are almost beyond
elief. The town has more that doubled 1
the number of houses, and in value of
property the increase is probably tenfold.
We found the Snell Bros, hard at work on
their new hotel building, which we . ven
ture to say is the finest building in the
interior of the State except the State
House at Lincoln. They expect to
able to open it about the first of March
by the time the B. k M. R. R. is com
pleted to that point Doom, Glenn k
Co., Vollentine k Hain, and Wm. Stai
e'niann, appear to be doing the heavist
business in the way of selling goods, at
the present time. We saw many famil
iar faces in Ashlaud, but the majority of
the peop e who now inhabit that thriv
ing city have settled there since our last
visit. We would be pleased to write at
length of the business, the business men
and the future of Ashland, but must
leave that task to our correspondent in
that city and to the editor of the Tunes
the new paper to be started there in a
few weeks. We made the acquaintance
of Messrs. Iddings, II. S. Fuller, Shcp
parl, Wilson, and others, of whom we
shall hare occasion to speak in future.
They are all young men of energy and
ability, and display good judgment by
aele-ctin Ashland as a home. J Wc lso

for Plattsmouth. We found our friends
McKIroy and Eaton Engineer and Con

chivalry were gathered there." The
traok is completed to within about a mile
of Hoover's, where a station house is to

THE SEVENTEENTH.
We see the Chronicle asserts the extra

is a mistake. We have it from the Gov

make the correction, as it has a large cir
culation and may mislead some members,
and cause them to delay starting.

Talued at about $425. They were start

thence by rail to Hoover's station."
This will save the merchants of Lincoln
some twenty miles of cartage, and that
over the worst part of the road, and will
fave them something on the price. By
the first of March they can have their
goods taken to Ashland by rail, and by
the middle of April the whistle of the
B. k M. locomotives will be heard in the
capital city.

ri.AJTT TREF.S I PI.AHT TREES!
Have you a spot of land, do not delay,
but act at once. Here in Nebraska,
where it has been proven by actual trial
that they will grow as high as six and
even ten feet in one season, who would
nnt plant them ! Oar beautiful, rolling
prairies, need but this one thing to make
them the most desirable and pleasant
dwelling spots on earth. In five years
trees planted on them have grown thirty
feet in height, and one and one-half feet
in circumference. With five acres of
such, who would not be fupplied with
timber?
One, two and three years from plant
ing, will give you several kinds of fruit.
Who cannot raise their own? Three to
five years will grow a complete and last
ing hedge. Talk not of lack of timber,
then, but plant the sprouts and then de
light to see them grow. Many are acting
in this matter, and we sec springing up
here and there, fine hedges, groves and
orchards. But many more are postpon
ing action from year to year. And oth
ers seem content, like "human ground
birds" well compared to build a house
upon the ground, without a twig or bush
around, and there live; and dying leave
no better trace behind than a weather
beaten heuse aud barn, and fences that
?oon fall. This latter class we scarce ex
pect to reach ; but to those well-meaning
one wc would say let not thiscoming
pring go by without planting at least a
few trees. Another ppring you may ba
dead, then would you leave some b'cing
monument of your industry to your pos- j
ferity plant trees. J
warded. And ever- tree that is planted
adds much more to the value of your
iilacc than the cost and labor of planting.
U hedce that will cost you twenty-five
; cents roj to raCi wiH increase the
Yaue Df your from fiVC t( (c j0.
j us per acre. Then, ouce compare a
prairie home, well surroun led with hed-
j jng, groves and orchard, wi.h your bare,
t,lnlr uninvif inir borl, l-t tutfl fif
nature's best adorning. The prairies
call for trees.
The wintry wind that sweeps the main.
And shivering beast and falling grain.

THE SOLDIERS HE-V5IOX.
Ed. Herald : Inyourlast issue there
is a reply to my communication of a week
previous. It comes from the pen of W.
A. Polock. Now Mr. Polock evidently
thinks he has made a strong point, as he
t.igns his full name to the article in ques
tion. He says, "I have no desire to
have a controversy with 'Second Ne
braska,' or 'any other man," kc," nev
ertheless attempts to throw a little dirt
on me by asserting that "your friend,
'Second Nebraska,' does not seem to
know the members of his own regiment."
let us see if I was so "badly mistaken"
in the assertion that "none but members
of the Nebraska First were appointed on
the committee of arrangements."
He says "E. E. Cunningham, of Rich
ardson, belonged to the Second Nebraska,
and afterward to a Missouri regiment
Mr. Cunningham's name did not appear
on the original committee of arrange
mcnts to which my article referred.
Next, "G. W. Fairbrother, of Johnon
belonged to the Fifth Missouri." Mr.
rairbrother name did not appear.
Then cornea "C. F. Porter." If the
"Charles Porter," whose name appears
on the committee, mean Liet. C. F.
Porter, he did belong to the Second then
to the Battalion, which P. admits in the
the next breath was consolidated icith
the Xebraxka First. No great "mistake"
yet I do "seem to know" Lieut Por
ter. Col. Baird, he siys, belonged to
the Fifth Iowa. I am not acquainted
with "Harland Beard," and if there was
any error in my assertion it was in this
particular, extcomes Maj. Armstrong,
who "belonged to the Second, afterward
to the Battalion, and in July 1S65 tent
transfer ra!,hy cotuolidation, to the First
Nebraska." My dear Sir, neither did
Maj. Armstrong' name appear on the
original comuritteo, and if it had he was
transferred to the First Xeliraska. And
I do "seem to know" Maj Armstrong;
we were personal friends and are yet.
Now, friend Polock, do you really
"take the papers," or did you write on
the ipse dixit of some one not posted.
Please refer back to some of the old files ;
for instance, take the Nebraska City
Chronicle the 25th Dec, and see if I
was for wrong.
With my best wishes for you, friend
Polock, the Nebraska First and all con
cerned, I remain as ever,
Nebraska Second.
