He informs us that he has engaged room? in Fitzgerald's block, where he will open a picture gallery as soon as the room is ready. Dr. Dunn makes divers and sundry propositions on the spiritual question to I'ruf. Miller, through the columns of the State Journal. Several teams were engaged in haul ing ice yesterday (Sunday) and men were with thm. The men were preparing for warmer tcr other, and they will un doubtedly find it. We dislike to ,:brag" about Nebraska In fact never do it but if any other country in this latitude can beat our Xe bratka winters, or equal them in point of mildness, we will dispense with our old hat. Mrs. L. B. Crocker fc Co. have their new millinery building n;arly completed, and will be ready to display their wears to the fond gaze of admired and admir ing ladies before the close of the present wek. A gentle team is voted a nuisance by all ''locals" in search of items. A gen tle team deprived the readers of the Herald of a readable item this evening. The springs of a carriage gave way in front of the Hearld office this after noon, and the provincly gentle team stopped and stood still until the oecu r anta alighted. We learn that a Dramatic Association is being formed by a number of our citizens with a view to coming before the public as soon as Fitzgerald's Hall is completed. Judging from the names we have heard mentioned in connection with the as sociation, we con dude it will be a suc cess. Something of the kind is needed in our city, and we wish the projectors abundant success. A brave, bold man, (?) who weighs about 2u0 pounds, exhibited his valor last evening by assaulting a boy only 14 years old, who was a perfect stranger to him and who had given no cause for offense. Officer William was in the vicinity, consequently the valorous (?) man paid his flue and costs. II. D. Brown, Ksq., who has been in the employ of the li. & M. Company in this city for the past year and a half, left for the east last evening for a visit among his old friends, after which he will aga:n return to his duties here. We hope friend Drown may have a real nice time, and may not sing "the girl I left behind" after he returns. Hereafter the Express and Mail trains on the B. & M. will arrive and depart seven tiruei each week. This will do away with the balk in the mails. The B. As M. Co has the contract for carrying tho through mail for the U. P. II. It. The Nebraska City X.ics argues that the Republican party of Nebraska is doomed to destruction because of the re cent mixins up of things. The Sties is "reckoning without its host." It would do well to turn its vision inward, and ex amine the condition of its own party. We see a good sized cloud of distention hovering over the Democratic camp, if we mistake not. Read the Omaha Her ald. Mr. T. J. Faherty, the gentleman who planned and superintended the construe tion of the Fitzgerald Block, left this ev ening for a short visit to the east. W hope he many receive sufficient encour agement in our city to induce him to re main here permanently. We certainly need tho services of a good Architect here. A son of Mr. Walborn of East Plattsmouth came very near baring his left hand severed on Saturday morning last. It is not known exactly how it occurred, but the children, were playing about the chopping block near the door, and one of them about 5 years old had his fore finger and the hand nearly severed. At the present writing he is doing wellaui the Surgeon (Dr. Rawlins) thinks he will recover the use of his hand. Wc understand our old friend, John Shannon, has taken a silent partner in the Livery business. Now, Johnny, that won't do. There is no use in being so quiet about it ! Well, we wish John long life and perfect happine?, an J that the happy bride may drive with a tight rein and use a curb bit. These old bachelors, when well broken, make good square trotters.

A friend writing from Illinois says ' I wish to ask your indulgence in answering a few qnestions through your paper. 1st. At what time are taxes levial on Real Estate in Nebraska i. c, when must I pay taxes on land bought in the fjre part of 170? 2i. When are taxes payable on land in Nuckolls County ? 3d. Has the land in the southern land district been withdrawn ? Ans- 1st. Taxes are levied in Nebras ka on the lit Monday in July, and are due on the 1st of December, of each year. Taxes on Land purchased in the fore part of of 170 are due now, and should hi paid as soon as possible. 2d. Our law provides that the taxes on land in unorganized counties shall be paid at the county seat of the county bein east of them. In the case of Nuckolls county the taxes would be payable at the county seat of Jefierson county, which, if wc are not mistaken, is Meridian. 3d. We are not cer ain as to whether or not the land in the Southern ii.-.trct has been withdrawn from private entry, but we are reliably informed that there is no land within that district to be had at private entry. We are of opinion it was withdrawn some two months ago. A line addressed to the Register or Re ceiver of the Land Office at Beatrice, would be the surest way of obtaining the desired information. Full particulars relative to the laws of Nebraska governing the payment of tax es may be obtained by addressing any of the Real Etate Agents, whose cards arc found in the 1erall, or by securing a copy of D.

(Local Immigration agent for Nebraska, in London,) just received by the Board, ives tho gratifying intelligence that large numbers of the agricultural classes of Great Britain are preparing to emi grate to Nebraska next spring. Busi ness of all kinds is reported dull, and many capitalists and manufacturers wid al.-o seek this new field of enterprise. The report is lengthy and shows that he is successfully advertising the merits of our State. Hon. Wm. Bishof, Secretary cf the Board, started on the 17tu inst., forGer- uiany, and will take the preliminary step for establishing an agency there. Being now in active correspondence with, the officers of the Executive Com mittee appointed by the permanent Com mittce of the National Immigration Convention, I deem it my duty to pub lish for general information, the follow ing re-solulioii of the convention. Behoving that all should contribute their quota of material as well as mora! aid, Legislature will be asked to author ise the paying one just share of the fund to be appropriated for Immigration pur poses. C. C. Smith, President State Board of Immigration. Resolved, That a committee of one from each State and Territory represen ted in the Convention, be appoiated a Permanent Committee, to carry out the spirit and intent of the resolutions adopted by th Convention, with power to call and arrange future meeting?. The river has raised three or four fjet during the past week. Plattsmouth, Cass County and the State of' Nebraska compose a firet class political platform. The Hon. W. Pot. thinks Lincoln is no place for an honest man, hence he thinks of coming home provided he can induce Kennedy to take his scat. W. C. Brown, Esq. the man who holds the puric strings for the B. & M. in Nebraska, arrived home from the cast this morning, He has been attend ing a lengthy and important law suit, and we are glad to know that he came off "first best." Lantz Sc Co.'s Intdligencer for Janu ary is on hand, filled with valuable read ing matter. Lantz & Co. are doing a noble work for Nebraska. The secoud number of D. II. Wheeler & Co's Land Agent has been sent broadcast to advertise our State. A thousand copies of a paper devoted ex clusively to real estate matters, and pla ced in the hands cf men who are looking westward for homes, is of incalculable benefit to the entire west. We are under renewed obligations to Judge W. D. Cage, also to J. L Brown Esq.. of Greenwood, for new clubs cf subscribers to the Heralp. A few more friends of the same sort would be grate fully rememberred by the Herald. The country is now filled with caen who have "been laboring for the past four years to elect Hitchcock." The parties themsdv", (many of them), did not knew it until vsterdav afternoon. The Sciertijic American of Jan. 14th contains an exe-ellent illustration and detailed discription of C. S. Meniman's Life Preserver. It also speaks of his experiment in the Missouri river st this i ii!'C:ii4- ever u:.-i L".i'ivi.-!i','i! in the H;ui : tin-m'.h, the ('out day even Hou,:. in ibis city, on ihurs ig, to Ji-ten to an addrets fiom Judge Kinney, of Nebraska City, on the subject of building the St. Louis & Nebraska Trunk railroad. No notice was given of this meeting, except through our evening edition, which was not issued until G o'clock ; still, the C ourt House was crowded to overflow ing, showing the great intere.it our peo ple feel in this enterprise. An udditonal interest was imparted to the meeting from the reading, by Judge Kinney of a proposition made by James F. Joy. of Detroit, President of the Michigan Central Railroad, to build the Trunk road, upon certain conditions therein contained. The cundltions in brief are these so far as this county is concerned : First To give either county or pre cinct bonds to the amount of $1jOj'X'0. Second These bonds to bear S per cent, interest only, and not more than twenty years to run. Third The bonds to be issued and place 1 in the hands of trustees, to be mutually agreed upon by the parties, but not to be delivered over until the road is built through the locality voting them. Fourth When so delivered the ';cou pons" to be detached, so that the bonds will only draw interest from the time the road is built and the cars running. Fifth -The road to bo built with all convenient celerity, and, if posible, fin ished to Plattsmouth the-coming season. It will be seen that the proposition from Mr. Joy is in all respects fair, and avoids the objection which has been hitherto made to voting bonds, to-wit: the issuance of them before the road is built. Another advantage iu the proposition is this: the bonds are only to d:aw S per ceut. interest, in place of 10, a hithvrto voted and demanded by all other compa nies that are working in this State. And still another advantage arises from the fact that the proposition emanates from Mr. Joy, a man well known to the people of the west as the most success ful railroad man in tho United States, In addition to this, Mr. Joy stands high as a business man, and our people have confidence that he will do just what he undertakes, an J do it in the manner he agrees to. In a word, that he will per form his part of the contract to the very letter, and give our people a first class road having the means to do so and to build it speedily. Judge Kinney spoke about one hour to the people on the subject, and suc ceeded to the entire satisfaction of every one in convincing the vast crowd present that this proposition of Mr. Joy was not only liberal and fair but that every property holder in our city ought to give it his immediate and hearty support. It will be seen by the proceedings of the meeting that our people are in earn est on this subject. Steps were taken to place the proposition bjfjre the peo ple of Plattsmouth, Rock Bluffs and Liberty precincts, with a view of voting precinct bonds hi accordance with the proposition ot iur. Joy. this was thought better than to endeavor to carry county bonds at this time. Th e resolution was a lopted unani mously, and so far as we have been able to ascertain there is no dissentiou of opinion in this city on the subject. n. R. Meeting at nock IlfuRa. The meeting at Rock Bluffs Friday to consider th proposition of Jame F Joy for the building of the St. Louis and Nebraska Trunk It. R., was well attended by the representative men of the precinct. The meeting was organized by the elec tion cf Judge Wm. G ilmour as chairman and Dr. Reed as Secretary. Judge Kin ney laid Mr. Joy's proposition before the meeting, and spoke of the gen:ral bene fits of Railroads, and of this one in par ticular. The meeting seemed unanani uiously in favor of extending the required aid, and a committee of prominent gen tlemen was appointed to co operate with the committee appointed in this city. Messrs: Fitzgerald, S. Duke, Clark, Maxwell, A. Lazenby, Wheele:, J. W. Johnson, Chase, Thomas, snd others of this city were present at the meeting. It is estimated the road will cost some thing over $2,00.000, and will be one of the best paying lines in the State. It was resolved at the Rock Bluffs meeting, to hold a mteting at Stewart's School House, in Liberty precinct, on Tuesday next, at 11 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of laying the proposition of Mr. Joy lefore the people of that locali ty. Judge Kinney will be present and address the people. The city debt of Quincy, 111., i.s ofii cially reported at $1,427,300.33, and yet Quincy is one of the mo.-t prosperous cities in the west. We call attention to this fact that others may profit ly the experience of Quincy if they desire. The simple fact of being in debt does not make Qnincy prosperous, yet judi cious expenditures for publie benefit are not injurious to any place. We learn that our old friend J. II. Buttery has purchased an interest in the Drug Store of A. W. Prole, Esq., But tery is one of the earliest settlers of this city, and his extensive acquaintance and known integrity as a business man will bring hosts of customers to the new firm. The Brownvu'.evltZi-frf W evidently mis. apprehends the position of the Herald on the contest over the seat for the Seventh Senatorial District, and is in clined to be somewhat sarcastic. The facts in the case are too apparent to re quire further mention from us, and we herewith consign tho subject to the things of the past, fully believing that the Herald can sustain its record on the question as well as can any one who has taken the opposite side not only cn the present case, but on all prececding cases of a similar character.

On motion of Mr. Cutler it was re res lived that a committee of live, con sist'ng of Judge Wm. Gilmour, J. M. Patterson, J. M. Chalfant, Dr. W S.. Latta and W. II. Smith be appointed to co operate with a committee heretofore appointed by Plattsmouth precinct, and with them confer with gentlemen from Liberty precinct, for the purpose of ask ing the County Commis.-ior.ers to sub mit such proposition to the voters of the several precincts as may be agrcod upon in February next to accomplish the ob ject desired, ?nl to secure the building of the Trunk road north and soutl. through the precinct. On motion of Dr. W. Latta it was Resolved, That the lion. J. M. Patterson, our representative in the Legislature, be and he is hereby in structed to endea-or to secure such leg islation as may be desired by the citizens of Rock Bluffs, to secure the early build ing and completion of the Trunk Rail road upon the proposition submitted by J.

This begins to look like bu-ines.s for the fanners. Money will soon be plenty again if wheat keeps up to this price. We heard several men in Lincoln yes terday, say "Hitchcock." Wonder what thev meant bv it ? A slight " set to " occurred on Main Strict yesterday, in which both parties came off second best. The officers and witnesses are the only parties who make anything by it. The Rulo Register has discovered that the Great Western Telegraph Company is a humbug, and calls on some of the citizens of our city to expose the matter through its columns. We believe there are citizens of our city who can tell from experience of the humbug, and we agree with the suggestion of the Register that that thev do so. A ratification meeting was held at the capital on the 1 8th, and we regret to say that many of tkc speakers indulged in invectives against General Thayer unbe coming honorable minded men. Sena tor Thayer's record as a Republican and aa a General stands without a reproach, and will stand as letters of gold on the pages of history long af:cr some of his would-be defaniers have passed from earth and been f rever forgotten. It is unjust and unmanly to attempt now to detract from the fair fame of General Thayer. Is it not enough that he has bean defeated, without attempting to black? n his bright record as a statesman and a warrior a record which every Ne braskian sffould be proud of? Out up on such heathenism. L. Brom, of the great tobacco and cigar house of our city, left for the west this morning to look after their business affairs. They are now furnishing nearly every dealer west of this city-, and their business i.s increasing with wonderful ra pidity. Fair dealing aud a liberal use of the columns of the Herald never fail to make men wealthy. Buck & Mullen are revolutionizing the Grocery trade in this city. The excellent quality of their goods, and the low figures at which they sell, astonishes the oldes hands at the business. Engineers have recently been engaged in making more minute survey for the great Railroad Bridge across the Missour river at this city. We shall endeavor to keep the readers of the Herald posted as the work progresses. Mr. Wm. Wilbnrn, of Louisville pre cinct, recently killed and brought to this market two shouts of a year oi l which weighed nine hundred pounds. He also informs us that he has captured and killed with the help of his dog, during the past threo week, two large Lynx, and has strong hopes of catching the third one. A gentleman from Nebraska City was in our town yesterday making arrange ments for the grand Masquerde Ball, which is to come off on the 1st of next month. He informs us that costumes which cost upwards of $500 have been engaged from him for the occasion. The managers will make known in a few days where invitations and tickets can be obtained. J. E. Beatty, Esq., of Union P. O., has our thanks for an addition of five new names to our list at that office. The Herald is sought by everybody who de sire to keep posted on local and general news. J. P. Simpson & Co. have fitted up one of the neatest offices in the city, under the Herald office. It is also occupied as Ticket and Telegraph office for the B. & M. R. It. Co., where tickets can be had fur all parts of the woild. We learn from parties who came up from Nebraska City this morning that a fire occurred in that city yesterday, which resulted in the dstruetion of a frame building opposite the Barnum House. We did not learn the estimated loss. The Council Bluffs Xonjioritl informs its readers that the "still small voice" of J. Newt.

They are worthy of praise in this, that they have erected each a three story brick business house in connection with Fitzeralds brick, that will equal, if not surpass anything in the State; and they have done this when others who hail more interest in the city, and who had more means upon which to choose the enterprise, shrunk from the undertaking, 1 lie .Messrs.

Probably the same ac tion on the part of men who had large real estate interests in the city, and who had abundant means to afford the ven ture (for it was venture at the time they commenced the erection of the block, al though it has ceased to be an experi ment and has resulted in a fine specula tion) would not be viewed in the same light as the action of these men, who staked their all, or nearly so, in the en terprisc which could not but prove bene ficial to the city, no matter what result to their own pockets. All praise, then, nay wc, to the Mergerses and the Gygcrs to the men who dare risk their money to help build up the city. We need an hundred more Mergeses and Gygcrs in the city of Plattsmouth.

Wintcrstine, in this city, at 1 am, yesterday, of Strangulate 1 Hernia. The funeral services will take place at Dr. Winterstine's residence, at 3 p. m. to-day, (Jan. 0), and the re mains will be taken to Detre.it, Mich., on the 4 p. m. train, for interment. Capt. Magee was born in New Bruns wick, in 1S30. He moved to Detroit in 1S;js(. where he was married, and worked at his trade (Joiner and ship carpenter) until 1SG7, when he removed to St. Joe, Mo. He followed the river as ship car penter until the spring of 1st'.', when he removed to this city. He built the boat of which he has been in c:mmaud since he settled h?re, and at the time of his death he was half owner of it. Captain Magee was an upright citizen and an honest man, and one who attended strictly to his own affairs. lie lcavs a wife and an aged mother to mourn his loss, besides a large number of friends who have been drawn close about him by his many luan'y qualities and social virtues. Ills'-illness was of short duration- He was apparently well at noon last Saturday, but came home at 3 p. in. complaining cf a severe pain in the region of the bowels, which grew rapidly worse until his death as above stated. Our Lincoln Correspondent irdicates that a preponderance of the names sent before the Legi-lature from the different parts of the State are favorable to the pa.-sage of a General Herd Law. It is hoped, if a law purporting to be a Gene ral Herd Law, is pastel, that there will be no exceptions made, but that each and every locality will be treated alike. The death of Capt. Magee, at the re.-idence of Dr. Winterstein, will pre vent the holding of the Prc-byterian sociable there, according to anpointment. The sociable will be held at the residence of F. M. Dorrington, Esq., to morrow, (Thursday) evening, Jan. 20th. All are invited. The enterprising firm of Mendlor & Wheeland, of the Star Mill-, of this city, shipped yesterday '200 sacks of flour, of their manufacture, to Chicago, over the fc M. R. R.
