The following letter has been sent to tha Peterborough Times, a radical Eng lish paper, by an American correspond ent cf that Journal : Lixcolx, Neb., Jan. 4, 1872. Er noil PETEP-noaoxroii TiiiEs : Edward Jones, an Eolishman by birth, but lately returned from California, bought dmd cf the Burlington & Mis souri River Railroad Company er.i!y in 1S71. His purchase lies about thirty miles south-west cf this capital, near Dorchester station, on the trans-conti-nentl routo to the Pacific ocean. Mr. Jones broke thirty acres of the prairie, with his own team, and hired cne hundred and ten acres broken for him at three dollars an acre. Tbe first crop raised on cuch broken prairie is al wayn sod-corn tact is maize raised on the sod turned upside down. Tho seed is usually dropped in holes broken with an axe. Rut. Mr. Jones bought a "corn planter" for $00, and by that machine, drawn by his horses, planted his crop much moro expeditiously, ne has also paid $190 for farm hands to help har vest his crop, as well 03 to cut and stack tha j ruiib hay which is freo on wild land to any one who will take it. Tho cash piice of his ! 10 acres was $10.40 per aer.?. Itis outlay, tben, h33 been, for land, ?!,45; corn-planter $00., hired labor, $100; breaking $320. To tal, two thousand ftnci tli irty-six dollars. Rut .Mr. J01103 estimates tbat ha has al ready harvested 5,000 bush-Ls of corn, and has 1)00 more still on the stalk. lie hs.s also, in stack?: 150 tons of hay. Corn sella at 23 cents a bushel, and hay at 5 a ton. At these rates Ids corn is worth $1,500, a::d his hay $750 a tot.l of $2,250, or more th.:n two hundred dol'ars more than his whole outlay for lr.nl cud improvements. But, Mr. Jones ii not eonlcnt to sell either corn or hay 3t ths rate- rd.ove mentioned. Accordingly he has bought a drove of cattle &zd a herd of swine. These he will fatten with his coi n, and thus ho will make as n.ueii proSt during the winter as he has made during the summer. He knows well th-1 the bect Lags to send grain to Chicago in are mado of cow hide or of hog-skin. They hold ten times as much as those of canvas. It is not every pioneer who has the pluck, strength and tact yes, I will add good luclc, of Mr. Jones but at least half of his success may be expected by every settler of ordinary capacity, and who can buy land in Nebraska wit one or two hundred pounds, and I write his fchort and simple annals to encourage the olhat. .J. D. B. PL ATTSM O LETTER FROM MICHIGAN. 'Ann Akor, Mich., Jan. 1, '72. Editors IIf.iiald Gentlemen : , . iVa w:d pardon my presumption, I bope, on assuming tho respon.iOinty ox placing before your intelligent readers, a ho placing oexore your iruemgen, reauer,, a communication, of w.cu there may be pi CO eooi'3 doubts as to cs the press is the medium through which to obtain and convey knowledge, I desire to reciprocate in return for the valuable information which I daily re ceive from tho perusal or ths "Piatts mouth Daily Herald." The truth is M.ssr?. Editors, I have Eec-n Duke Alexis ; you probably have not, unless he went from Chicago by telegraph, and I don't think that probable though he appears like a yaf young man. And then again, ho h to have, as I understand, a "reception" at St. Louis before going to Plattsmouth. Tho Grand Duke Al-.xis and suite arrived at Ann Arbor on Sat urday forenoon. lie was received, not by tho "civii and military" authorities of the city of Ann Arbor, but by the "uncivil and unmilitary" personal au thorities of a vast number of the citizens of the city, composed of a conglomerate mass of men, Womcu and children, sroall boys and students, congregated around the depot of the Michigan Central It. It., all alive with cnthusiam, with eager eyes and high anticipation;!, awaiting the ar rival of the train which was to remain only onbj ten minutes!, that we might have the privilege of seeing a syht wc had never before seen and probably would never sec again. At length, after having waited around the depot for the space of one hour, the alarm was given, rome on had heard tho whistle of the locomotive, and sure enough, in a few minutes the engine appeared in sight, and my 1 what a cheer w.:s &eut up by that anxious crowd. Hera uhe comes ! stand back ! get off the track ! don't crowd! and various other vehement vo ciferations, were prevalent on every side. Indeed, she did eorao, bf'.t there ap- perue-j no cars a!tai:t:eu. vv net a u:s- appoi:;iment-I murmuring .on every hand. Various remarks w.ro current ; such as I guess ho has played gone over the Michigan Southern sold again what will you take for yourself hur rah, for Americans! one follow t-houtod. Finally a bright idea struck the mind of an me one, viz : that it was the Duke who had charge cf tbe engine, and tbut he was trying his hand t AmericanMu ch'nery. This took a rousing cheer was sent up for the Duke, whoso coun try Tvaj so favcraLI. to our own loved America. Th. engu.-eer did not have time to a:-k the meaning of such an en thusiastic reception, before tho real train which bore Duke Aioxis muds its appearance, coming at 2: 10 the former er.gine having been sent ahead to cleat the track, that no one might be under th; necessity cf regretting t.ifjt Lu-.-.m was on such favorable terms with Ameri- . Ononnin thr. a,,.Sipr.. n.th'i.dv proclaimed that if he could only get a glimpse of the engine that propelled cha native Rus.-ian he would go to his homo contented. The train Anally came to a V... . -..WtW.. W J tand st and th cn yuei a so ne- crowumr, DuotnnT, liauimg. pu-l:ng, an l in fact s:y02zing lor I hj.ird several ladies ejaculate: ''don't crowd so," "don't so neeza ;" an 1 I havo no doubt but their requests were genuine, an I founded on a reality. Everybody were putting in their best licks to get a glimpse of the Duke, as lie did not designate himself or make his appearance. The crowd surrounded tho train, peeked through tho windows, and almost pene trated the sides of the ears with their keen eight, in their zeal to see the Duke. To make the scene more interesting and varied, occasionally a new personage would make his appearance at the win dows; which would create intense ex citement, everybody positively asserting, that lie was the Duke. As soon as one would leave, another would appear. This lasted for some time, till tinally it becavne old ; couldn't play Americans that way they would know the Duke wbn they saw him. The time was now about consumed for which ths train was to stop. The Dakc stepped out on tho platform of tho hindmost car, and was designated as the object fur which we sought. It was himself this time, Mire, no mistake and such varied excla mations of surprise and satisfaction ! Finally the monotony was broken, and speed, speech, was heard from every quarter, jronticai economy, civil ser vice reform, ona term poliev, Grant, Ku Klux, c,, but "nary" speech. The train moved off, and the only words we had from the Duke, was a simplu "nod" of the head, in respect to the audience, whohnd congregated at the depot, to satisfy tho burning desire of their hearts. In conclusion, Mr. Editors, I will ask your paid jii again, for having burdeued the columns of your paper with so long an article. It would have been useless to have attempted to describe this event iu any less syace. Very Respectfully, W. OUR WYOMING LETTER. T4 r..s. K. 51. OPIt; AOAIX i::av2.. ror. A Soulier Frozen to Ceasb.

The weather for one week here has been charming, and the snow is gradually wasting away, and the ground is bare in many places ; but it wi'd be a long time before those huge drifts along the line of tho railroiid, made more formidable by the vast amount thrown from the track, will disappear from the eye of the weary traveler.

Tbe teams came through, but tho driver was missim. They searched for two hours for him in the terrible but could not find him, and his body hr.3 not been recovered yet. He had been drinking, and while the men were breaking tho road he fell off tho mule, and the wind was blowing at such a fearful rate that he was soon lost to the sight of his companions As we enjoy the delicious weather of to-day, it is diScult to realize what a fearful embaigo has been upon us. Probably it will be years before we have another" such a sight The mortality among cattle has not been as great a3 many feared, and gra ziers do not seem to be at all discouraged.

Epixoas Hr.F.Ar.D : When I received your excellent paper I was so much pleased on seeing one of my productions in print, that I will make another of my very best elTorts, to be pleased again. I was not only pleased at that, but de rive a great deal of satisfaction from the perusal of items from ether parts of the county. I am surprised that I did not have your paper some time since. I think it would be to tho interest of every farmt-r in Cass county to send in his two dollars, ;tIt ,;s un711u an1 j. q. address Mr ' . - .' , .. ' h'.rmmg inenus. try it ,-. , , , . . I n e nave oeen r.avmg some cry tionu sleighing this winter and a great deal of old weather, and I begin to think that the shell of tbe earth has grown per ceptibly thicker, or the north pole isdis gusted with our searches after it, and is coming south to find u. The cold and snow has caught nearly every farmer iu this end of the county with more or less corn in the field, and most likely it will remain there until spring, which will make things lively for the farmers, and cause labor to command a good price. I wb'h to give i3' nrt experience in raising pork in Nebraska, on a small scale. In September last I put seven March pigs in a close peu, with a floor in ir, and fed them dry corn in the ear. January Gth I killed them. They dressed on an average, 20G pounds each, and from the time they were six weeks old they consumed about 105 bushels corn, or 15 bushels to the head. Here are tho figures: Seven hogs. 200 pounds each, make 1403 pounds; at 3. cents, $51.10. One hundred and five bushels of com, 15 cent., $15 75, leaving a proSt for feeding and watering, of $35.35. They were only a common stock of hogs. I would as soon feed, water and butcher my hogs, as market my corn in the car. I do not claim tbis to bo an exact esti mate, but as near as rossiblo, for tho appliances I had. It gives nearly 14 pounds of pork to the bushel, thus rcali-iog nearly 40 cents per bushel for corn. It is the greatest folly for a farm er to sell his grain at present prices. A greater profit can ba made by keeping the meat, for if it is sold it will most likely be shippnd away and part of it shipped back, and the consumers will have the transportation to pay both ways, while those who keep their pork will be the gainers, and not only so, but the money will ho left in our own country. The above facts can be proven by calling on A P.asiutl Man. An Iowa couple obtained a handsome sum to begin lite with by charging twen-ty-flve cents admission to their wedding. The St. Louis Democrat says : "They tell of an interesting scene iu the Legis lature when tho Governor's mesac in formed the members that "we arc all Democrats we are all Republicans."

Lot us ail go out and fake a drink " They adjourned to an adjacent benzinery, and, in the language of Uret Iiarte. "the snbso qucnt proceedings interested them no more." A Terr.3 paper iays : "We have been asked why we stopped publi hing the list of marriage licenses issued by the clerk. Recau--3 a great big stand-up-in-the mud out there in the sand hills said we published his daughter as married when she weren't, and that he would hit us on the head bard enough to knock our ankle out of joint. Is the explana tion satisfactory?" Edward Powers, a civil engineer of Chicago, has petitioned Congress for aid to enable him to test his method for the artificial production of rain. He wants to be furnUhed with 300 cannon of not less than 24 pound colibar each, and 30 000 pounds of powder, with an cleric battery and ocher appliances, to enable him to discharge all the pieces simulta neously It will be seen that the ex periment would be a very expensive one. arv wracTa r i TELEGRAPH Loudon, Jan G.

Col. Fisk was in the thir ty seventh year of bis age. Jim Ms .iiHcc!. New York, Jan 6. James Fisk, Jr., was shot iu the breast twice by Edward Stokes, at the ..111 . t ii ii Orand Central Hotel, at twenty minutes past four this afternoon. The affair took place in the vestibule. Fisk was assisted Co a chair. It is thought he cannot sur vive. Stokes was arrestedand conveyed to the One Hundreih Precinct Station House. Fhk had just alighted from his carriage and entered the hotel, when ho was shot. Later. Many friends and acquaint ances of Fisk are at the hotel ; Wm. M. Tweed and J. Gould ae among the number. Fisk is calm and collected, and able to convers". About G o'clock the coroner heard his statement. About half past nine he was engaged with his Lawyer, P. D. Field, in making-his will. The doctors arc unable to state whether the bullet has penetrated an intestine, consequently there seems to bo hope that the wound may not prove fatal. Mr. Fi-k's ftat?meat to the coroner is Y 11 lOI w to the effect that he had come to the be tel, made inquiries a.s to whether Mi.-s Moore was in, and being answered in tho amrmative proceeded up stairs, lie had no suspicion that any one intended to barm him; when about on tbe first landing be tr.w a flash end felt some thing strike him on the abdomen.

The bullet pene trated about two inches aLove the naval nd pa-ised dawn towards tbe right. The doctors are of opinion that the intestines are uninjured, xhreats of lynching were freely expressed agr.icst Stokes. 2 P. M. Fisk is sleeping soundly. Tbe ball has beon found, but not etr.v:.'ed.

A few minutes before eleven o'clock this mcrniug, James Fisk, Jr. expired. All that unremitting medical ski'l and attention could do had been done, but to no avail. Jay Gould was ia attendance from an early honr this morning. His face vora, while there yet was hope that his friend might recover, its usual calm expression. No sooner had Fisk expired, however, than Gould's fortitude gavo wsy, and bis grief found vent in tear?. At half-past six Colonel Fisk said something in a brckcji tone, mid tb.cn closed his eyes. The change in hi, face had become more apparent, and the pal or was more deathlike, and moisture ap peared on the forehead; the pulse was over one hundred, and the doctors stood by the bedside watchiog the patient t tcntively. At a quarter past seven Mrs. Fisk r r rived. She was admitted firt into tho ante-room, and soon afterwards into the bedroom. Mrs. Fisk was terribly a rota ted at the bedside of her husband. Tbis scene was tho most heartrending that bad yet taken place, and these pres ent could not suppress their emotion. The doctors were appealed to by the wife to give some little hope, but they gently indicated that they dare not ssy there was any chance of life. Fisk was not much moved at moments when ho was cognizant cf his surroundings, but seemed never deserted by the coolness and fortitude which he displayed when first shot. At eight o'clock there was little change. At half-past eight llie doctors consulted, and at nine o'clock tho suppressed excitement about his bed was almost too intense to hear. At half past nine bis friends were permitted to go to his bedside, and he thanked them for coming. After this the rapidity of .decline showed itself more strong'y than ever before. At ten o clock tnera was enger, suppressed whispering, as it was t.-Id ia every ear that tbe end was surely drawing nigh. At half past ten belay scarcely knowing that there were aoy minLtcring to him. lie turned bis face to the wail, noticed no one, and ceosed to breathe at a quarter of eleven. The body will be conveyed from bis late resi dence, No. 313 west 23d street, to tbe New Haven depot, at two o'clock, on Monday afternoon. The funeral will take place at Brattleboro, Vermont, on Tuesday, at one o'clock p. m. Tho brigade to which the Ninth regiment is attached, has been ordered cut to escort the remains to the depot to morrow, 'ho Niuth acting as special funeral escort. Tbe officers of the brigade will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty day. New York, January 9. Stokes continues at the Toombs, ap parently cool and collected.

The Fisk inquest wao resumed this af ternoon. Tho porter cf tho Grand Central Ho tel testified to picking cp the bullet, which Capt. Byrne, of the police, iden tied, as he did also the pistol found on the sofa near tho staircase. Two barrels were discharged. Dr. trioler testified to the character of the wounds of Fisk, that the one in tho abdomen was neeessaiily fatal. Dr. Marsh read the iesu!t of the r,ost mortem examination and produced the ball. lie also thought tho wound nec essarily fatal. Counsellor Graham protested that it was a burlesque of jusiico to give tbe case to the jury, without allowing it to be proved that Fisk was armed and was as well prepared to take Ufa a3 Stokes, but the coroner declined lo taka any ex ception and left the case to the jury. Tbe jury wSs relieved at five o'clock, and at 7:50 submitted their verdict, which rdl signed, "That Fisk came to his death in consequence of a wound or wounds, infiicted by a ball or balls from a pistol in the hands cf Edward S.

This Senator has been doing again that which he has so often done before making himself ridiculous- Puffed up by the honors that bol ter men conferred on him, his v.nity is iunnin;! away with him. 'i he Senator is not content with exposing his own weakness ami corrup tion, but must needs try to make the Republican pnrty carry the load. In a recent discu-sion in the Senate tbis gen tlemm cn the adaption cf a -resolution for un investigating comuiittce, this Senator bitterly assailed the administra tion and spoke as follows : (Here follows tbe same extract thai appeared in the Herald last week.) Mark, thit the Senator says the whole sale tut nm? out 'irtJ to be done, no mat ter whether the olucidls were hone-t or dirhoneit, or whether tbe appointees were competent cr incompetent, Senator Tipton's friends must be provided for. To :u:vi it up, he sdits that i o lent biai.-fdf as a tool to de igning men, who by placing himself in a Senator's seat secured soft fcoats for themselves. The height cf impudence is reached when he says "it was necessary under the system of part' caucuses and party appliances." That a few men of more ability than honesty succeeded in hoodwinking our parson-politician into the belief that it was "necessary" the facts prove, but wo deny that the Hrpuli'cun part! ever de manded such foolish conduct at his bands. If Senator Tipton bought his re election by promises of appointments it is to bis discredit, and the regret of Re publicans that his character was not bet ter known to them, that they might have defeated so unworthy and unscrupulous a politician as be admits himself to be. Because tho Senator fails to make the distinction bctw cn a few oiiiee seek era and a great party, we fail to see where the partj' must bear tbe odium of bia Elsort-sichtedr.es?. That the party made a mistake in bis elevation is proven by I".'- own statf mcnt but we can assure tha gentleman the mistake- is bitterly ro per.tnd of and k.0'.v tbat the like will never occur ags in. The Republican paityaks that honest men be appointed to o&c-e, tbat dishon est men bo kept out this :-a'.l. The Senator changed the order thus: Tip ten's friends runft ba kept in ol.e no j matter v.r.at their character aud the Republican party must vouch for them. We are glad to pee the Senator is re penting the error of his way, and al though his potty hatred will not allow him to make an honest open statement, still the admission he has done wronj will be gratifying evidence tbat a change can be hoped for. We congratulate Re publicans that the Senator stiil has the judgment to approve if he has not the manhood to practice true Republican fC-ntimerits. ("B;;5tni Z.caned f.t Sjjiu'I Z (crest. 1'p.
