Farmers are generally preparing for Spring work, and many of them are al ready plowing and sowing wheat. At the K. K. meeting held at Weep ing Water last week the decision was nearly unanimous against issuing bond. A candidate for the Lunatic Asylum has been driving about the city to-day with a pair of horses and wagon, having the appearance of being a recent arrival from the plains. The Omaha Hcruld s-ays nothing can induce it to pursue Govornor Butler with a shadow of personal hostility." Not with the 'shadow' but with 'sub fctance." F. II. O'Neill, Esq , the popular merchant tailor, is erecting a neat build iug one door west of Waterman's Lum ber Yard, to be used as a shop and sales room. By reference to our advertising col umns it will be ecn that the firm of Keel A: Clinton has been disolved, and hereafter the business will bo conducted by S. Clinton. The immigrant wagons arc crossing to the west side of the old Muddy at the rate often to fifty a dar, at this place. The indications arc that Nebraska wil receive hetJiaro of immigration this season.

Our Lincoln letter of this morning containing a synopsis of tho Impeach ment Articles against Gov. Butler, was received too late for publication this evening. There arc "wars and rumors of wars" at the capital, and the howl against the State officers is loud and long. Myste rious whispers are heard of positive evi dence sufficient to convict this and that man of "high crimes and misdemean ors," but we advise all men who desire to rcuder "equal and exact justice" to stay their indignation and withhold their censure until the full evidence, on Loth sides, is heard. We learn that some of our citizens un dertook to test the strength of policeman Williams' arm, last night, unfortunately for them there was a cane at the end of it. From the appearance of the cane, we have serious misgivings about the fellows appearing before the Recorder as per promise. Our hotels arc starting out for a lively business this spring. Free Busses are now run to sad from every train, and there i lota cf competition and spirit among the gunners.

We are pleased to know that our "city dads", at their last meeting took steps to devise some means to protect property from fire. His Honor, the Mayor, ap pointed the entire Council as a Commit tee, with instructions to report quick. That's right, and the sooner the better. We see from the Paily Xonperail that the drawing at Jefioris Gift and Musica Jubilee took pkee on the 1st inst. The main prize had been withdrawn. Tic ket 10,775 drew the first and highest prize, valued at $6000, its lucky posses sor was Miss Nellie E. Dutton, Lovcland Mills, Iowa. Our local is now . out to ascertain the names of those who did not get a prize he had not returned at time of going to press. In the sixth line of the second para graph of the communication in yester day's paper relative to Prof. d'AUe inand's shool exhibition, the word "feasi bility" should have read "facility." " li.

Ssior TOXa P ii arrirft.l from Lincoln cn tho 3:4 ; traia this evening. Ml'KUER SEAIl Ll.MOi... From a gentleman who came from Lincoln this morning we learn that a Mr, Geary, who lived some ntteen uiue.s from Lincoln, was killed last Saturday evening, about five o'clock, by a man named Calavan, who Hved neighbor to him. There appears to have been seme difficulty between the two men in conse quence of too great an intimacy between , i Calavan and Geary's wife. words passed, when Geary picked up a neck yoke but made no further demon strations cf violence. Calavan immediate ly rushed upon him with a large sized pocket knife, stabbing him to the heart the first stroke. Geary only lived about two minutes. O.lavan endeavored to escape, but was caught about 12 o'clock Saturday night and brought to Lincoln, where he was lodged in jail. HOW ABOUT THE FBEITS? The Lincoln Journal of last week says that lumber is received iu that city Tia the O. & S. W. R. R. at eight dollars on a car load cheaper than via this city and the B. & M. Now, we aro hardly willing to believe that the Journal would wilfully misrepresent the facts, but we arc very positive that it is grossly mista ken in this matter. At the time the Journal article was written the freight per car load of lumVer, from Chicago to Lincoln via the O. & S. W. Railroad, was $158 00 while it was only J 135.00 via the B. & M. and this city, being $22.00 cheaper on a car load via the B. & M. The rate on the B. & M. has since been reduced to $113.50, mak ing it thirty-nine dollars on a car load cheaper via Plattsmouth than via the O. & S. W. We expect our neighbor of the Journal to do the B. & M. the jus tice to make the correction. A CARD. Prof. d'Aliemand returns his best thanks to "Spectator" for the flattering report of the Collegiate School Inhibition, and, to the Examiners for their kind ser vices and verdict. Also, to the many ladies and gentlemen who encouraged the examination with their presence and approval, and, indeed, to tho good citi zens generally, for the kind interest they take in patronizing him in his effort to establish a good, private school. Be ginning four months ago, with only four teen pupils, he has now fifty, and several applications for admission to the New Academy. To show the citizens that he is in real earnest about the establishment of a Permanent School, he would beg to in form them, that he has purchased Prof. James' property which he will enlarge and improve for the purpose. He would also state that he is in communi cation with a lady who will teach vocal and instrumental music in his school next term. Hester was around again to day with lettuce end rhubarb. There is no use talking, Ilesser is ahead cf the world cn gardening. We venture to say that no other city in the west is regularly sup plied with garden vegetables at this sea son of the year. Nebraska City seems to be on the "down grade," at least so far as news papers arc concerned. Four dailies and two weeklies have "gone where the woodbine twineth" within the past year, - and now the ZeilungJfr. Rentier's paj per has followed suit. Mr. Stevens went to Nebraska City with his Dramatic Troupe and performed there last evening. There being no daily paper there, and consequently very little enterprise, ho had but a poor au dience, and left this morning in disgust, notwithstanding ho had bill3 and pro grammes already printed for two nights, They went to Liucoln by the 10:45 a. m. train. St. A. D. Balcomb, over his own sig nature in the Republican, speaks of Gov. Butler and Hon. C. II. Gere, of the Lin coln Journal, as "an impeached official at the criminals bar, and his employee." There is no personal feeling in that. Oh, no ! T. II. Goodwin, of tonsoral notoriety has refitted and furnished his hair dress ing saleon, one door cast of Stadelman's Clothing Emporium. He has his es tablishment nice'y carpeted and papered and everything has an air of ncatnoss. especial attention given to triming ladies and childrens' hair. A man, whose name wo could not ascertain, has made himself very conspi cious last night and to-day by his drunk en shouts. lie was brought before the Recorder and fined, but it did not work a reform. About three o'clock this af ternoon he passhdup Main street flour ishing a loaded Spencer rifle. Sheriff Johnson took the cartridges from his gun, and ttarted him homewards (he was hauling lumber for Ilorton & Jcnks) as soon as he turned a corner he com menced to reload the gun, when the Sheriff 'moved on his works' and took tho gun from him. He left for keep ing Water minus his armament. The Plattsmouth Herald is in danger of overdoing Gov. Butler's defence. It was no part of the Committee's duty to fry him : Republican. There is no kind of danger of the lie publican "overdoing his defence," .but it may overdo its part in the persecution business. Of course "itwasnopart of the Committee's duty to try him," but it teas "a part of their duty," in' our judgement, to give him ot least a show of fairness, and not proclaim him to the world as a scoundrel on oue-sided testi mony. Does the RciuUican endorse the action of the Committee in this res pect? When a Hindoo pri ;t h about to br.ptizc an infant he utters the following beautiful sentiment: "Little babe, thou enterest the world weeping while all around you smile ; contrive so to live that you may depart in smiies while all around you weep," A sharp young woman says there is ' nothing more touching in thu lite than to sc-e a poor but virtuous young man i sr.-ugiling with a wsik moustache. xi:iuniu.v at 5Ao.ni. The exhibition at Naomi Institute last Friday evening was a far greater success than any one had dared to hope for. everything passed off in the very best manner, and all were pleased. Not withstanding the fact that the partition w.i removed and the lloorof the recita tion room ck-vatcd fur a stage, the house was packed as long as a single person poiild find settina- or standing room, and I over two hundred people were compelled gain admittance. We learn that another exhibition will be given on Friday even ing next, (the luth). tho proceeds to be applied to the purchase of a piano or organ for the use cf the school. It may not be amiss, in this connection to say a word in reference to this school and its most excellent Principal. Prof. Patterson conceived the idea of a school of this kind at Rock Bluffs, something like one year ago, and he immediately set about the work of securing it. lie secured the groand a block and a-half in a very eligible site, secured the burn ing of a kiln of brick for the especial purpose, sold a few scholarships to make up a sufficient sum of money to insure the linunc-ial success qf the building, and about June of Iat year he commenced the erection of his building, which is 25 x50 feet, two stories high and cost about $:j,530. He opened his first term or rather part term about the 1st of Sep tember last, with 43 scholars. Now he has about 100 scholars, with as bright a future for his enterprise as any institute of learning in the west. To say that Prof. Patterson is a successful teacher is not suffienty expressive. He has a peculiar faculty of dealing with youihfu) minis, as well as with those ap proaching maturity. "? ? the possessor of the secret of causing his pupws to love to learn. His government over them is complete, and the obedienoc ren dered is from the fullness of the heart, and not through fear of any penalty ex cept the displeasure of the teacher. We spent a few hours in this school a skort time since, and we could almost "write a book" upon the things to which we gained an insight in that brief visit, but we will only say to parents who de sirs their children properly educated that they cannot find a better place than at Naomi Institute. There they wil! be surrounded by tha best of influences, both nigral and intellectual. The spring term of this school will open on Tues day, March 21st, and while we doubt not Prof. Patterson will accommodate a lew mora pupils, we are confident he care's but little for taking tliem for a sinirle term. His methods of teaching differ somewhat from nian3' teachers, and a single term will not show the apparent advancement that most parents might expect ; but let your children attend Naomi for the purpose of being educa ted not merely to learn a lesson or two and we will guarantee that you will be satisfied. "ctiia with res a?ii rExtiL." We have jnst received from the pub lishers, Pitkin Sl Parker, "J2 Dearborn St., Chicago, 111., a new and valuable work by "Samuel Hazard," bearing the above title. Here are six hundred octavo pagea filled with entertainment fresh from the Island of Cuba. Indeed, Cuba herself n all her charmes, in all Ler romance her cities and plantations her streets and her homes he virtues and her vices has been photographed by the pen and pencil of Mr- Hazard in the book before us. We arc all interested in the beauti ful Island, for Manifest destiny has marked her for our own. The present struggle of her brave pa triots to achieve her independence from Spain, makes Cuba doubly interesting at this moment. In this book we learn all that can be told us of this beautiful Is land. The work of Mr. Hazard has 1 twenty beautiful full page cuts, besides two hundred and ninety-three other il lustrations of the life and scenery of Cuba. The ,tyla of the author, and his illustrations, have a humorous side, re minding us ox" Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad." The publishers are now put ting agents into the field to sell this book by subscription. If any work will sell in our western homes thi3 will. It will fell itself. Yes, it will sell itself. Individual wishing the book, er parties desiring the work to sell, can address the publishers. SEW KOOFIJItt MATEMAI.. We mentioned the fact, some days since, that Mr. L. Foster, of Burlington was in the city with a new patent mater ial for roofing. Since that time we have had the pleasure of examining the material used by him, and we do not hesitate to pronounce it a ver3' superior article. He is now engaged in putting a new roof on the R. R. Machine Shops and Round House in this city, and those who contemplate building would do well to examine it while they can sec the entire process of putting on as well as to examine thi material itself. Mr. Por ter uses the woolen felting, which is put on in layers, the same as shingles, be ing put together with pitch. This pro cess makes three thicknesses of felt with a light coat of pitch between each layer. The whole surface is then pitched over again, and another layer of felting is put on top of all, running from top to bottom of the roof or directly accross the other layers. The edges of these are lapped a little, and wooden lath is nailed over the joint to hold the whole to its place. On the top of all this is put a coat of patent concrete, which is put on as a paste and coarse sand sprinkled over it. This is allowed time to harden, when an other coat of concrete is added, which is covered with fine gravel. This com pletes a roof which certainly can never wear out does not get so hsrd as to crack, neither will it run in the hottest weather. An examination of the roof being put on the railroad shops will con vince any man that Mr. Foster's method of roofing houses is a very superior one. And one of its great beauties is that it i3 cheap costing no more than an ordi nary shingle roof. Sometime about the "weesrua' hours' last night an express driver named John Beverage had his right arm dislocated at the elbow. After fruitless efforts tp ob tain the services of the nearest surgeons, and a delay of several hours, during which the sufTerins of the patiest wag very grcat, Dr. Rawlins was sent for, and chloroform and the surgeon give prompt relief. We did not learn how the accident happened, and the question now is who pvuhed Johny Beverage ?and .10. who stru:k Billy Patterson? i'UOr. U'ALlrHASD-S SCHOOL XX- II Jill 1 Mr. Editoh: I have been waiting in v:iiri to read in your Herald a commu nication from some one or more of the numerous friends of education, who at tended the examination and exhibition of Prof. d'Allemani'sColIcgiite School, in Whits t Spires' Hall, last week. I was not present during all the exercises, either iu the afternoon or evening, but while present at the examination in the afternoon, I was gratified to hear ths Rev. Mr. McLeod's commendation of the Reading class, which he examined. The Rev. Mr- Maxfield examined the senior class in Arithmetic, and I was pleased to hear him remark, subsequent Jy, that they fully comprehended the sub ject matter under consideration. The feasibility and readiness with which they solved the difficult questions which the examiner gave them to demonstrate on the black board were apparent to every one of the large and intelligent audience. The juvenile class in Geography was examined by Rev. Mr. Cameron, and I believe the children all acquitted them selves to the satisfaction of every one. The class in German was examined by Mr. Waugh, and I should judge, by my ear, d it it v;as ffoot. Those who know, say that Prof. d'Al iemand is a first rate French & German scholar, and I would advise all who wish to learn to speak either French or Ger man to call on the Professor before his hands cet too full. The crowded Hall in the evening showed unusual interest in the proceedings, and the Declamation, Recitations, Readings, Singing and Mu sic, were abundant and excellent. Dog berry has said that "comparisons are odorous;'' therefore I cannot be wore specific and particular where all did the best they could to entertain, amuse and instruct the very lur-sj and delighted au dience with wliiCu tic "as nllL" Prof. d'Alleuiand's school is one C. !J Institutions of PJattsmouth with which we cannot afford to dispense, and I am gratified to learn that the Professor is now negotiating for the purchase of a commodious and comfortable place in in which he can accommodate a few more pupils. Success to the accom plished ProtVssor and tho Plattsmouth Collegiate School- Spectator. Plattsmoctii, March 3. Mr. Editor: Sir: In answer to your request in Thursday's issue, in re gard to the exhibition given by rrof. d'Alletnand's School, and as we attended we will say all were amply repaid The address, by Prof. d'Aliemand, was a neatly turned compliment to the ladies in attendance ; then followed a dialogue by Master d'Aliemand and a lad whose name we did not ascertain, we would say to them, well don. None would fail to appreciate the sweet, birdlike voice of little Katie Johnsnn--and well worthy of mention is the class in Gorman. The love ditty in the dialect of the "Father land'' was charming. The evonings en tertainment was further enlivened with singing by Mr. J. W. Marshall, Mrs. Guard and Mrs. Vinton. The voice of Mrs Guard is both pure and powerful, and she was nobly supported by Mrs. Vinton, with her rich contralto. Platts mouth has talent of which it can justly boast. The Professor is to give another entertainment and we hope you may hear and judge for yourself. Spectator. LETTER LIST. List of letters remaining in the Fla'Umouth Po.noaite March 1st. 1371.

J!lU AT r,!.'COI.N LATENT PHASE OF IMPEAtHMEST Prospect or mi AdJoorBraeal r tbe House. Butlor Coufii'cat of Arriultal. From Our Special Correspondent. Lincoln, March ",, 1871. Editor Hkrald : On Saturday. Mr Myers. Chairman of the Board of Man agers, presented to the House the Arti cles of Impeachment against Governor Butler. The House resved itself into the Committee of the Whole for their consideration. The articles were read to the House by the Chairman and adopted without tk-baie or a dissenting voice, af ter which the officeis and members of the House, headed by Mr. Bcall, (the oldest and largest member), marched in a body to the bar cf the Senate, and there the articles were formally present ed to the Senate. The Senate, by the adoption of a reso lution, LaT?- agreed to notify the mana gers at 1 o'clock to-day tL't ??cy are a court, and ready to begin the trial of David Butler. The Senate Chamber has been refitted, desks and tables for the use of the counsels have been brought in, and everything is in readi ness to proceed. It is supposed that Governor Butler will ask a few days to file his answer, which will be granted, and then will the work go bravely on. ARTICLES OF IMPEAC HMENT. There are eleven separate articles pre sented at this time, the Board of Mana gers reserve the right to prepare others if necessary. They aro got up in good shape, and it is to be seen that no little time and study has been spent in their preparation. I will give very briefly the substance of the different articles: Art. 1, Is in relation to collection of the 10,81.20 five per cent, fund and converting the same to his own use. Art. 2. The pollution of his exalted oilice, by extorting money from contract ors, etc. Tho McBird evidence is re ferred to, also Mr. Brock's the Gover nor to secure him the Treasuryship of the Board of Begents for $75!).i0; also testimony of Representative Hail, to whom the Governor would lease Saline lands for a bonus of $."Oo0.00 ; also evi dence of others swearing to bribery in locating the Asylum. Art. 3. The over pay of Col. C. S. Chase Attorney for the State. ART. 4. Relates to the letting of the contract for building the Asylum to Mr. Ward, he giving no security for faithful fulfillment of contract. Art. j. Open violation of law. in ex ceeding appropriation in errccting of &trtte buIUing Art. 0. By a special message to the House he f;de!y declared that he had paid thai s? 10, SSI 20 into the State Treasurey, thereby committing a misde meanor in otTice. Art. 7. Refers to the carle-s and pro miscuous distribution of the School Fund Art. S. Accuses him of receiving money from the Board of Immigration and the same should have been de posited in the State Treasury, which he never did. Art- 9. Swindling the State by pat enting certain lands to the Northern Nebraska Air-line R. R. Art. 10. Sets forth that he has com mitted numerous high crimes etc. in the sale of Lincoln Lots, that he has appro priated money derived from the sale of State lots to his own me. Art. 11. Says, ( J uilty of corrupt prac tices in his official capacity as State Commissioner, and refers to the evidence taken on that point. If lie is found guilty of the charges preferred in either of the Article, he is thrown out of office and forever hereaf ter debarred from boiling any other office of trust or honor in this State. As there U two Senators absent, Kennedy and Tennant. it will take all t!:e votes of that body but three to con vict. , , , . The IlousO failed to impeach anybody Saturday, the excitement necessarily bezan to cool down, and something was wanting to keen Lincoln in her element. This was remedied just about d.uk by one Marion Culahrm stabbing to duaib John Geary, both parties live about fourteen hiilcs south of this place and had come to town to beg.'O a suit for a divorce, as Geary's wife had been guilty of criminal intercourse with Calujau. The murderer was apprehended yester day morning near his farm aud is now here in jail. Leck. Lincoln, March 7. 1871. Ed. Heralu: The question of ad journment is at the present time, and has been for the past few days agitating the minds of the members of the House, There is a variety of opinion on the question whether the House can adjourn and tha Senate temain in session as a court. The Attorney General and Gen eral Estabrook in their opinions submit ted to the House yesterday, cited two in stances in English history where Parli ment had done this. It is unreasonable to suppose that any action of tho House of Lords or Parliment, where members are elected for life, can be made a presi dent for the Nebraska Legislature. There appears to be a majority who are in favor of adjournment as soon as the Bills now introduced have been disposed 7f and the impeachment trial has got fairly uneer way- If the house does ad journ, now that Governor Butler 13 oust ed from his office, and the Acting Gov ernor has not the power to call an extra session, I think we will have the worst mixed up case on record. We give the Legislature of Nebraska credit for a higher regard for the princi ples of justice, and as possessing more honesty of purpose than weuld be ex hibited by the perpetration of so gross an act as to throw a man out of office without a hearing, install his successor, and then adjourn to let matters lcmain in this state until his term of office ex pires. However, the opinion that this will be the result, :-ecms now to be en 1 tcrtaincd by many. 1 The Senate yesterday resolved itself into a court, and the oath was adminis tered to Senators to render a verdict in accordance with testimony, etc. They then issued a summons for the appear ance of David Butler before the Senate to morrow at 10 o'clock, and then ad-j:-urueJ as a court until that time, and resumed work on the bills now to be hur ried through . A new apportionment bill was intro duced iu the Senate, and after suffering a fearful butchering, passed that body, and will be considered in the House to day. The Senate also passed a joint resolution for the appointment of a com mittee to settle with State officers ac cused of appropriating State money, in divers ways, to their own use. The bi!l to encourage the development of coal mines has passed the Senate and will pass tho llou.--e to day. The managers of "honest" John Gil lespie's impeachment have secured the services of Judgo J. F. Kinney and Judge Wakely to aid in the preparation of the articles. They will probabl3' be able to present them to the House for adoption to-day. Gov. Butler is taking matters very good naturcdly, and does not hesitate to say that after a fair trial he will be re-instated, the Omaha Herald and lupulli lican to the contrary notwithstanding. Lltic. Lincoln, G. 5. p. m. In response to a resolution adopted in the Ileuse, the Attorney General and General Estabrook submitted their opinion to-day, that tho Hout-e could adjourn and not effect the impeachment trial before the Senate. Members are inclined to (lifter 01! -his r.niat. Proba bly the House will uot a-jjouT:? at pro sen. The managers of Gillespies' impeach ment will report to the House to mor row. Judges Kinney and Wakley are assisting them in preparing articles. : The managers came before the Sen ate this afternoon. A summons for the appsarrince of Governor Butler before that body to morrow at 10 o'clock was issued. No further action will be taken until that time. Leck. SCHOOL EXtllHI I IO.V AT I'E.XTKE VALLEY. Mr-Editor: We had the pleasure of attending an exhibition at the Centre Valley school house, school district No. 21, on Saturday evening the 4th inst., conducted by our teacher, Mr. D. C. Fleming. At an early hour the house was densely crowded by an appreciative audience ; everything passed ofi" iu a most agreeable manner, giving entire satisfaction to all present, reflecting great credit upon the scholars, and par ticularly upon the teacher, who spared no pains ts make it a success. The exhibition consisted of vocal and instrumental music, declamation?, recita tions, charades, tableaux, etc., etc.; also con:ie songs by the inimitable Cox. We think great praise is due to Misses Addie Lathrop, Ellen Rector, Norah Winchel, Emma Gihnore, Ann Gilmore, Lemma Rodgcrs, Rossie Rector, Mary Fowler, Mary Fnltz, Suari Fultz, Josephine Carper, Carolina jjarnrop ani ?iary car ter ; also Masters James Stockham, Wil burn Barber, Simeon Rector, Alfred Carper, John Fowler, Charles Farley, Joseph Stockham, Samuel- Stockham, William Stockham, James Carper, Har vey Stockham, Johnnie Carper, Henry Carter, Howard Cox," Johnnie Gihnore, Newton Lathrop, Richard Cox, William Carter, Joseph Gilmore, George Tiui blen, George Ccpple, John Copple, Nicholas Meyer and Mat has Meyer, for the ability each displayed in performing their part. But in our opinion the finest part of the exercise was a clas in Arithmetic led by Prof. Johnnie Carper, a boy about seven years of age, he having asked questions that would reflect honor upon a peraon of more mature 3'ears, all of which were promptly answered by this interesting class, composed of boys and girls of about the same age as their j-outhful leader. We learn from the teachers that this is no k-'s than a class of l'ritfcs. ors. It is but ju.-t to a l l that Mr. Fleming is one of Cass county's best educators and he hce labored hard to bring our school up to rank favorably with any in the county. One of the Parents.

TUc Sale of Arm. In regard to the action of the Presi ded, directing the Secretary of War to suspend tho sale of ordinance and muni tions of war, in order to conciliate the Germans, it is stated that Baron von Gerolt called upon the Secretary of War at the time the proposition was made to dispose of a large number of arms, and asked that no sales should be made until the Prussian Government could make a proposition to purchase the entire lot of fered. The Secretary of War, in reply, said the Government would not, under any circumstances, sell to a foreign Gov ernment. The right to dipose of the arms to its own citizens had not been dis puted, any more than the right of pri vate compauies to fulfill contracts, and that the sale of i;Tms should go on the same as before the war. When leaden bullets are fired against iron targets, the lea 1 is melted and spat tered upon the target in the form of a star. This fact is Etatcd as the result of careful experiments recently mada at Basle, in Switzerland. An ingenious wife iu Des Moines cured her hubband of snoring thus: She had a gutta percha tube with two cup shaped ends; one she puts over his nose and mouth and the other ovsr his ear. lie consumes his own noise, as a stove docs smoke, and wakes up instanter. Mark Twain says: "1 have seen slow er people than I am and even quieter, and more listless, and lazier people than lam. But they were dead." A traveler asked a:i emaciated Geor gian if the climate of the rice swamps are unhealthy. "Wail, no," replied the loyal native, "taint unhealthy; we l ave the fever and ague r..i the time in uitc parts, but then we enjoy n powerful un- i derto.w of he;vkh." Pere Hyacinthe is becoming more and more strongly prctesrant. He has recen tly written a letter denying the validity of the Pope'. Encyclical Syllabu;. and; denouncing the hierairhi.il- prcttiti .n of ! the See i.f'Rome. j It is a fearful thing to persevere in ; any course that cmcience disapproves, j There can be, in such case, neither pcacu ; with ourselves uor fellowship with the ; Creator. "Pa," said a lad to his father, "I have often read of people poor but hon est, why don't they sometimes say rich but honest?"' "Tut, tut, my son, no bodj' would believe them," answered the father. When we get to be as old as Mr. Blue the editor of the Xeics and do not know more than he does at quoting scripture or even politics, we will take the firt fools advice that comes along. It is said that in the Antarctic seas there are sea weeds which have steins about twenty feet high, and with a diameter so great that they hare been collected by mariners in those regions for fuel, under the belief that they were drift wood. They are thick as a man's thigh. There are millions of voting white full in the State Hatching lL.use at Caledo nia, N.

A Washington committee is inspect ing the water meters of New York city and Brooklyn. The in.-pecti.m of hisky will most likely prove to the committee that they are better on that thau oa water. "Sure, an' it wasn't poverty that drove me from the ovdd country," said Michael the other day; " for my father had twenty-one yoke of oxen an 1 a cow, and they gave milke the your round." Thy vary the nursery hymn out in Salt Lake thus : Dogs delight to bark and bite, For God has make them so ; And Biieham's priests will gmwl aud fight, And rob and murder too. Mr. "Chaws Thowmson" recently ran hishead against a young lady during a cotillion. "Ah! excuse me, dcah," he cried: "did it hurt, ah?" "No, sir," sho replied, "it's too soft to hurt any thing." In Cincinnati recently an Episcopal clergyman's black silk mbrt was stolen, the thief leaving word that he desired to wear it to a masquerade. During the year 1S70, 103 persons were kiled and 44 wounded, on the rail roads of the United States Kansas is at the head of the slain, with 27 killed; and New York corns first on the woun ded list j with 03 There is a deal of courage sometime! in eniaU boyj. A lad in Bridgeport had three fingers cf his right hand taken off a few days since by a drop press in a brass shop. Looking upon his bleeding hand, the brave little fellow exclaimed: "I'll bet mother will cry whea she feces that." A doctor was aked to dance tho "Lan cers." Jla declined, but expressed a willingness to lance the dancers. A very particular swain in Huntingdon sent ms marriage- to the paper with the addition, "No cardauions." He said lie despised abrcviat'on. In Lynchburg, Virginia, adistlnguish ed member of the bar, appea ing to the court for tho dichargc of his cli-nt court sent hira on further trial, a stain would be left on his character which could not be washed off by all the waters of tFis blue ocean, and all the soap which could ba manufactured from the ponder ous carcass of the commonwealth's at torney. To this the ponderous attorney replied, that while he "deemed it foreign to the case at the bar, he desired to ad vise tha court, if they thought it advisa ble to boil his body into soap, they should look to the opposite counsel for the concentrated lye out of which to make it. It is said that when news of Bazaino's surrender reached the French residents of Buenos Ayres, they felt outraged in national pride, and applied to the Arge tine government for naturalization. Does the youngster who edits the Rulo Hrff inter remember the fate of the children who said to Eliha irreverently, "Go up thou bald head:" We hope the bears will not tear him to pieocs ; but he evidently mistakes impertinence for smartness. The radicals wiil sick him cn to his own destruction ; and then cry "mad dor," when they want hi i slaughtered. JTebrask'i City Att.s. The number of left handed pcop'e seems to be on the i;ie:ei-'p. Formerly it was quite a rare tiling to meet a poi son who gave the .reference to the left hand, and those addicted to it wr re a little disposed to conceal the peculiarity, but now it is r.o unusual thing to seo a lady or gentleman sitting at the table with the knif.i in the left hand, and the cup of tea at the left side of the plate. This reverse of the general order ef things appears awkward enough, yet we do not. know but the time is coming when the left hand will generally have prefer ence over the right. In one schoolroom at Perrysburg there are fifteen left-hand ed children. This indicates rapid pro gress on the part of the kit digits in their struggle to jaiu the mastery over those of the riht hind. - -How long will it be ere we shall be told to 'put the left foot foremost." and bear people speak or the ;tror.g kit arm.' The lemons of the war to surgical science are beginning to be published. One of the most remarkable facts made known from the hospital reports is that the French soldier, have suffered woie from the Prussian shells than from the needle gun and bayonet combined. This is contrary to usual experience, which has reckoned artillery more powerful to frighten than to harm ; but it agrees with Napoleon's reported remark to King William at Sedan, as to the marvelous precision of the German cannoneer. It is also said that the i.edile-gun bullets, though larger than those of the casepot, do not penetrate the flesh so far, and so make less serious wound?. The sword bayonet ued by the French is a much more savage weapon than the old-fashioned triangular blade, which is stiil re tained by the Prussians. Shell wounds aie found to heal very easily if co bvJncs are fractured.
