The members of the St. Luke's Parish Aid Society will meet at 3Irs. Dr. Liv ingston's residence, on Friday evening next. A cordial invitation is extended to all friends of the church to be present The ladies of St. Luke's Church beg to return their grateful thanks to their many friends for valuable favors receiv ed in aid of their festival. The Missouri is closed at Omaha and at Nebraska City. It is t-till open at this place, and will remain so until we have several successive days of severe weather. Being closed at so short a dis tance abve here leaves but little chance for floating ice. The water is lower in the Missouri than we have ever bejbre known it. The President is unable to reach the landing at the depot, and passengers are landed kt the foot of Main street. Those who feel an interest in the building of the Baptist church in this city will be pleased to learn that Rev. Mr. Arnold has received a letter from llev; Webb, General Agent of the Home Mission Society, stating that the mouey expected from that source to aid in the build:ng of the church will be forthcoming inside of the next ten days. John C. Phelps, charged with the murder of Patrick McNauoara, at Oma ha, was convicted last Friday, of man slaughter, and sentenced to five years in the peuit-jntiary. The U. P. R. R. did not suffer mate rially frsai the recent snows, and those directly interested in the road feel justly proud of the fact. The Dakota City Mail fays the pro jectors of the Northern Nebraska and Dakota Central (or Sioux City and Nio braria) Railroad are about to perfect their organization, and will commence work early in the spring. All that St. Luis now requires to reach this region of country and connect with all these various railroad lines of the upper Mis eouri country, is. to fill up the gap be tween Rulo or Falls City, in Richardson county, and Plattsruouth, a distance of about 75 miles. Will she do it? A fellow has been following the U. P. Trains west from Omiha playing the old game of "three card monte" and robbing innocent young-men who were willing to take his money when they had a sre thig. Which are most to blame, he or the youug men. They were wil ling to take his uionejt.wben they were cheating him, and he proved too sharp for them. Dr. Larsh says the charges made against him of financial irregularities will be fully answered in his annual re port of January next ; but that he can not let "the cowardly and malicious charge of neglect and cruelty" of the unfortunates under bis charge pass un noticed, and he callsupon all, friends or foegj to call at the Asylum and sec for themselves how patients are treated. Now let the Omaha Herttld correspond ent and editor have the manlin ss to go and examine and then tell the facte. Will they do it, or will they continue their unmanly insinuations? S. A. Taylor, General of the Conti nental Life Insurance Company of New York, is in the city for a day or two, looking after the interests of the Com pany. He is a thorough Life Insurance man, understands the business "from A to Izzard," and with a sound company like the Continental to do business for, he makes a perfect success. He contin ues to do as much business as ever, and people seem to look healthier in conse quence. Wo looked in at O. F. Johnson's Drug Store, the other day. and wit nessed Mr. J. running a "Wall-paper Trimmer."' It is one of the siiett ar rangements imaginable for paper hang ers, doing away with the old slow pro cess of cutting with shears, ajid trims a " whole roll of pa par i about rial? a min ute.

Parties irho have traveled through the western portion of the county say that they never saw so great a sleet as that which fell there on Saturday, the ISth. Every blade of grass and every shrub were loaded down, and trees were bent to the earth with the enormous load of sleet which clung to their branches. A man who resides on the Weeping W ater is 104 years old, and says that it was the heaviest sleet he ever saw. ICR a-ARHERM. We give the following letter from Col.

Dear Sir: The State Office of Im migration beg to request that in your valuable journal you will call the atten tion of the Farmers in your section to the fact that all specimens of agricul tural products sent us, will be placed upon public exhibition lo this office, marked plainly with the grower's name and plate where grown. All such speci mens will be duly credited to your coun ty. The Express and liailroad lines will forward all such articles free of charge. Respectfully yours, J. II. Noteware, State Supt. Immigration, Neb. Wood's Household Magtzine for De cember is one of our brightest and cheri est visitants for the month. Crowded with all the relishes of a Christmas Din ner, it makes one think of its appropri ateness as a Christmas present for the little ones, as well as f-r the older mem bers of the household. "Mrs. Santa Claus Adventure" is alone r,ichly worth, the price - of the Magazine a year. We notice that its publishers have recently purchased the following Mag zincs which have been consolidated with the Household, viz: "Our Maga zine," published by Maj. General Kil patrick and Wm. R.

" It Las been decided by Platts meutli Lddge No. G, A. F. & A. M., to have a public inhalation of officers on the evening of . the 27th of December, in connection w th" their annua! Festival, to be followed by a short addre.-s from some prominent mason of the State. . The present indications are that the Fes tival will prove a grand success. The Sociable of the First Congrega tional Church will be at the residence of IT. H. licdwel!,, south Second street, on Friday eveninp, December 1st. A cor dial invitation to all. The North Platte Democrat is issued semi-weekly. The people should give it a hearty , support . notwithstanding its Democratic proclivities," for it requires nerve to embark on an enterprise of this kind, and nerve which redounds to the benefit of the commucity should always be encouraged. - -. . They are holding "anti-Corruption" meetings at Nebraska City. That is right. We hope meetings of this kind will be held everywhere that official cor ruption is found. Let the people take these matters in hand direct,- and we wi'j guarantee that politics will soon be purged of some of the villains who are now en deavoring to manipulate things. Let the people, "by seventies" rout out the Tammanies of the whole land, and that promptly. Another effect that these meetings of the people will have is to expose the men who are crying fraud for s petit ical purpose, without grounds iherefor, and they will be censured as severely as those who are found guilty of wrong doing on the other hand. We doubt if the Omaha HcralJ would en dorse this way of doing. Capt, II. E. Palmer, Agent for the Home, Underwriters and Phenix of New York, has ' received . a commission as Agent for the "Imperial Fire liirurancc Company of London, incorporated in 1R03, with a cash capital and surplus of ten luiliiou dollars. With this sterling company in nddkion ta those already on his cards, Capt. Palmer has one of the strongest agencies in the west." . See advertisement of Iiucrial Fire I IrruvauT? Cotupav.r in acoiher column. lXlift K:I4).V. It has been generally understood that Acting Gov. James had determined to convene the Legis!aturo iu extra session abuit the 2oth of December. The Omaha Republican of Sanday morning contained an article strongly opposing such session, and saying there was no need for it. In its issue of Tuesday morning it learns from a responsible source that his acting Excellency ha de cided to not call uri extra session. Strange, very. Com is being burned extensively about town, as a substitute for coal. It burns exqual'y well, and is said to be as cheap. The papers that accuse Dr. Larsh of rascality in office have not sufficient man liness to even give to their readers his letter in defense of himself. Perhaps the time may come when the people will learn more of the motives of certain in dividuals in charging fraud upon every man who holds a State office, and then refusing tKem. the simple justice cf a defense. Tho Omaha newspaper editors are very profound lawyers ; they accuse a nianby way of an irresponsible anonymous correspondent, of being a raical, until he proves to the contrary. Capt. Man-hail, ever mindful of the interests cf the reading public, has re quested the P. M. at Omaha to send the paper mail for this city via the Platte river during the present uncertain state of the cros ing of tho Missouri. This will make the Omaha papers an hour or more later than by the other route, but will there be more certainty of their ar rival. "Ye Ancient" passed through the city last evening; and it is said he was on his way to Washington, or else where. .The Nebraska City. Chronicle says : "We have just been shown an elegant silver medal, awarded by the New Jer sey State Agricultural Soc'ety for Nebraska apples, exhibited in that State fair, in Septem ber last. They are a portion of th. fruits exhibited by Col. Furnas, at Ilich mo id After the close of the American Pomologtcal Society. The Colonel sent two barrels of his specimens to P. T. Quinn, Eq , Newark, New Jersey, the great pear cultivator, and agricultural editor of the New York Tribune." IUMIGItATIOX. We find the following letter in a recent number of the Omaha Dec. It gives a fund of information, and yet it hardly gives an adequate idea of the increase of our population, fr at this city alone there is an average of not less than seventy-five persons arrive daily by rail : Neb. City, Nov. Cth '71. To Col. J. II. Notewcre, State Superin teudent or Immigration : Since August 10th, 1871, up to the present time, there lias been an average ot twenty nine emigrant wagons dailv crossed at this point, going west to locate in rsebiaska. lhis miormatioa lget o Mr. Simpson, captain of the ferry boat and from my own observation and in conversation with the immigrants them selves. Each team will have an average of six persons husband and wife and four ehtldrcn, three horses, four cattle (loose,) eight sheep, and a large number supplied with coop ot chickens. As a general thing the stock are in :ood con dition, and the mea women and children hearty, healthy looking people, just such as 2Vebraka needs todevtlop the resourc es ot this great fruit growing and agn cultural state of the west. The irumi grants I find, are mostly from Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota iconsm, southern Iowa ami northern .Missouri Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Southern Iowa and Northern Missouri. They are principally western people and used to western Me. Many of them had good coiiilortable homes, wheie they came from, but said they wished to go where they could get homes for their children before it is too late. Beatrice. Lincoln and Graud Island seem to be their point of destination, and from these points they will select their locations. J hese men come fully advi-:ed as to what they should do, and manvof them are supplied with agricultural implements, which will answer for present uc. A Mr. Ituspcll. of Illinois, who is wide awake, supplied him self with several thousand ah seedlimrs from ten to fiffeeh inches- high, and in tends planting them as soon as he lo cates. I find" a- large portion of these western pioneers in possession. of cur Immigration pamphlets, and nearly every one with a copy of the I. Si M. and U. P. pamphlets. These companies hare done more to advertise JNehraska abroad than ail other influences combined. And judg ing from tU3 amount or lands these rail road companies are selling I should think it p?uJ them well to advertise liberally as th-?y have done. Last evening a colo ny of thirty or forty persons passed through here from Page county, Iowa, bound for Grand Island, Nebraska. The following is an estimate of the persons and property crossed at this Ioint since the tenth of last August, and refer to our business men 33 to whether the cstima!e is too great or not: Number of wagons, - - - 2,378 Number of person, allowing G to each wason, ... 14,2"8 Number of horses, - v 4.7ofi " cattle. - - - 7,134 " " sheep, - - - 10,000 Now I shall have no doubt that Ne maha and Piiehardson counties have crossed as many as Otoe has, and that Cass county ha3 crossed an equal num ber, and if that be so, we have received at the lowest calcuhitien, forty thousand population to Nebraska fcince last Au gust. Of course I do not inelude those who come by rail, which will swell the number at least one third larger. Now. then, suppose at Omaha, and north of that nonit. that an equal number has crossed the river and located in Nebras ka, and -ray- opinion is that north of Platte River 'ou have almost as heaw immigration as we .nave utn. ii win be seen that at that rate" Nebraska will double her ptesent populatiou in twelve months from last August. Yours Truly, . . J. W. Pearxian- It is estimated that the population of Nebraska has been increased 40,000 during the post six months.

Several ethers, indicted for different crimes, have not yet had their trial. Insurance Department, Albany, N. Y. Nov. 10, 7I. J . Having, at the request of the Officers, made an examination of the affairs cf the Home Insurance Company of New York, I find that the Company had, on the first day of November, of wel'-in-vested and available Assets, $4,"S13,570. 94. Liabilities were : Chicago losses, deducting amount re-insured, $2,139,213 00 Other liabilities, 291,326 7 $2,430,539 Amount required to re-insure all outstanding risk, 1,375,000 00 $305,539 7 Amount cf Assets over all liabilities except capital, $1,008,031 1 The Capital stock of the Company is, ' $2,500,000 The Officers have this day been di rected to require the Stockholders to pay up the deficiency, or sixty per cent of said Capital Stock, within forty days. The present Assets, and the prospect of a speedy repairment of the Capita' Stock of the Company, are quite suffi cient, in the opinion of the Superintend ent, to justify the continuance of public confidence. Geo. W. Miller, Superintendent. From the above it will be seen tha the Home now has of "wcli-investec an,d available assets," after paying every loss at Chicago and elsewhere : Of Capital, - $1,003,031 15 lie-insurance run J, - 1,375,000 00 $2,3S3,03I To which is to be added tho Assessment of Stockhold ers now being paid in, $l,500jC00 00 The record of our past and present is warranty of our future.

"An eld boarding house mystery" is the title of an article in a New York daily. It ruus mean hash. That is the oldest boarding-house mystery we ever read of. Lorenzo Dow was once preaching in the eastern part of Connecticut to a crowded house, the season being mid winter and the wenther extremely cold. During tho scriuoo the members of the congregation would make frequent visits to the stove to warm up ; the old man stood the interruptions until forbearance ceased to be a virtue, stopping in the middle of a sentence he said : "those who have holes ia their stockings may now go to the stove and warm their feet." The Advance says, "A great, deal of our religion is simple starch, and we dig nify it with the name of sanctity." George Alfred Townsend does Chicago and its ruins in a six column letter lor the Cincinnati Commercial. He states that everybody behaved as if there had been a tire in Chicago, but not a fire equal to Chicago." Further on he sa3'S : "Here you will see a merchant who was the prince of a business ftflica and a hun dred clerks one week ago, his name gild ed above his portal, and his monogram cut in the keystone of all his fix stories of windows, sitting now upon a chair without a back smoking a five cent cigar, and swearing that he never felt better in li!e." The- rura'ists at Newport, seeing a lady driving, and her groom with folded arms behind, thought "that ni.ger must pay that nice looking girl a pile to drive hi9 carriage for him." A healthy looking tfio arrived in Yin cenacs, Indiana, a few days ago.

AWjouiing correspondent of the St. Louis Republican sends a bad report of the women. ' He says : "The wo.nen at Fort Laramie feel that they are equal if not superior to the men. It is not an uncommon thing to see the officers' wives go to the billiard saloon or the sut ler's at that post and play until 1 or 2 o'clock in tho morning.

The shoe and Leather Reporter says that probably ;h stverest strain to which the eastern toot and shoe trade has ever been subjected will result from the Chi cago calamity. At this sta-on of the year Western and Southern dealers accu mulate largo stocks of goods, which thejv arc enabled to do owing to a system oil long credit. In thi fall of the year, also the freight lines, engaged iu tho trans purtation of millions of tons of produce from the West to the eastern markets, reduce their tariffs for return frc'ghts so low as to make it an object for the west ern merchants to take advantage of the low rates, the difference between Sep tctubor and February being usually 2U0 per vciit. in favor of the former month, i )wing to these several influences, there can be no doubt but that Chicago had on hand tt the tiurj of the conflagration the largest stock of goods ever before at any one time in her possession.
