Shannon died of croup, in Nebraska City, a few days since. They were buried together. The Mobile Register and Omaha Her ald defend tho Tammany ring of New York. The Nebraska City Chronicle thinks Senator Tipton's ideas of civil service reform are not the thing required ' by the country. The Committee appointed to procure the right of way for the conteraj.lated Avenues are at work. The people are anxious that they hurry it up. The Baptist Festival at Eight Mile Grove last Monday evening was a suc- iit i . i j t cess, ne nave not ueara paiuuuiara. Henry Boeck, Esq., has purchased a half lot adjoining Spire's store on the east, and is preparing to erect a two sto ry brick business house, eighty feet deep. Royal Buck, Esq , accompanied by several other gentlemen from Nebraska city, are in town to-day. We understand their object to be to file on a section of land in the western part of our State for a town site. O'Connor has refused to accept j-ouag Tweed as bail for his father, on the round that his title to the real estate deeded from the "boss is insecure. Messrs. Ray & Flor have erected an excellent flouring mill on Wahoo creek, in Saunders county, near the farm of Mose3 Stocking, E-q. Saunders is one of the finest counties in the State, and is improving very rapidly. Our friend John Tutt is the dad of a bran new daughter, whose age dates from Jan. 4th, 1872. Bo careful how you speak to John until he gets used to it. The Johnson Bros.' band, cf this city, plaved in Lincoln last night. This ex- celjent hand are becoming so well known throughout our own State and western Iowa that they are generally sent for upon all important occasions. We stated, a day or two since, that Mr. "Miller father m-law or A. W. Prole was in the city. It should have been Mr. Brown Mr. James Jrown Mr. Prole not having married into the Miller family yet. We advise all lovers of a nice musical instrument to cau at L. i. Johnsons music store, and look at those beautiful pianos he has. They are real beautie?, and oh ! what splendid music they send forth. An application has been made before Judge Lake for a writ of haleas corpus in the case of Dr. Marvin, at Omaha, with a view to the reduction of bail, the present sum fixed being $8,000, which Marvin has been unable to give. J udge Lake has refused to reduce the bail, and with much justice and good senso claims that Marvin's bail should bo higher than in on ordinary case of manslaughter with deadly weapons, because he, an in telligent man and physician, proceeded with deliberate purpose to violate the aw and take the life of a human being as a means oi gain, lie tninKs it out just to discriminate in favor of the crimi nal who kilb a fellow being in the heat of passion. Marvin remains in jail. It is amusing to stand in the post- office while the mail is being distributed and watch the business men as the come for their letters and papers. One comes in a terrible hurry, sees a half dozen letters in his box, but cannot get them until that great pile of papers is distribu ted probably a half hour. The next one you see deliberately opens his brass Yale lock-box, takes out his letters, goes back to his store and draws a balance sheet from his ledger or sells a bill of goods before his more important neigh bor has received hij mail. Everybody should have Yale lock-boxes if they ox pect to succeed in business. John Sherman has been nominated for U. S. Senator by a caucus of Re publican members of the Ohio Legisla ture.

Mr. Gilchrist, of Saunders county, was in the city to-day, and informs us that he will soon proceed to Salt Lake to take an active part in tho working of the principal silver mine cf that region. He is a miner of large experience, and a shrewd business man. He will continue his home in Nebraska, but will pass moit ef his time in Utah for a fewyoar3. Two twin sisters mere children in stature and but 14 years old were re cently brought faom Ft. Calhoun to Omaha by a couple of inhuman beings calling themselves men, and there taken to a house of ill farce and abandoned to a life of prostitution. The brute3 are named Jack Davis and Noble, and they , should be left hanging to some friendly lamp post. A brother of the girls followed and rescued them. We desire to call tho attention of pa rents to the fact that a largo number of boys are in the habit of "riding down hill" on Third street, north of Main, where they very often have narrow escapes from colliding with passing teams. Unless parents put a stop to it a call for a surgeon, if not for an under taker, will Boon be in order. 1UL St A. k tans locate:. Lincoln Comes Out Victorious. At a late hour last night, after full and fair discussion of thj claims of different locations for the next annual State Fair, a ballot was taken by the BtwirJ of Ag riculture which resulted, Lincoln 9, Omaha G. On motion, the vote was made unanimous for Lincoln, and soon after the Board adjourned. There was no hard feeling perceptible on the part of those necessarily disap pointc-d iu the ikcision of this matter, and we congratulate the State upon this action tf the Board. Wc assure the Board and the State at large that the capital city will aim to deserve the honor thus confencd upon it. Lincoln Jour nal, ith. I'ISIlIXd TSIISOS.

Four locomotives came in for repairs Wednesday night, but they had forced a way through to the end of the track. Three locomotives were hitched together, and a t ox car with a snow-plow calculated to go through six feet of snow was placed ahead, wh.cn the whole force charged the d: ifts west of Dorchester. The locomotives look as f they had passed through the Rocky Mountains without grading ; but, as we said before, there was no let up until the track was cleared. Two locomotives were entirely disabled, aui two others were only able to remain. A B." OUTFIT. Tho "Blaisdell Brothers' Combina tion" (we suppose that means a combi nation of cheek and meanness) "jumped the town" at 5 a. m. to day, leaving va rious little bills unsettled, one of the principal ones being $25 hall rent. The business manager of the concern hired a team and driver at Shaunou's livery to take him to Glenwood and return, and forgot (?) to pay for the same, and he also forgot (?) to return a pair of fur gauntlet buck gloves which Mr. Shannon had generously loaned him. They made a lively effort to "dead beat" us out of a small bill, but iu consequence of the Herald office "having the papers" (al so the type) on them they failed in that little scheme. They are advertised to perform at Glenwood to-uight, and Mr. Barnes (agent for Fitzgerald) and Mr. Shannon have gone there with a view to acting as door-keepers for the concern to the extent of some $35 or $40. 5E.V FIRM. By reference to the advertising col umns of the UeuaU) it will be seen that Mr. M. B. Reese and Mr. Geo. E. Draper have opened a law office opposite the Brooks House. Mr. Draper has been in our city for the past nine months, and is tolerably well known ia the communi ty, lie is a young man of more than ordinary ability, is a thorough lawyer, and a man who, to use a purely wstern phrase, "will wear well." We make thesj remarks not as an advertisement of the new firm, but as the personal views of the editors of the Herald, which we believe time will prove the correctness of. Of Mr .M. B. Reese wc know but little. He has been in our city about two months, and came from Osceola, Iowa. He is a lawyer of some eight years practice, and wc learn from a reliable source that he has been very successful. Such legal taleut as Judge Medill of Iowa, speaks of him in terms of great praise, and pronounce him a profound thinker and a successful practitioner. We bespeak for the new firm a good de gree of success in tnis community. MALL POX IS OMAH A. The Omaha Bee, of the 3d, contains the following item : "It is no longer to be disguised that our city will, unless precautionary steps are immediately taken, suffer very mate rially from the small-pox, which is lately prevalent in this city in au epidemic form." The Herald is receiving the polite at tention of the subordinate portion of the Nebraska Press as "the organ of the Union Pacific Railroad." Omaha Her ald. If any of the "subordinates" (if there are any papers entitled to the position of subordinates to the Omaha Herald) are doing this they are certainly laboring under a very grave mistake. Perhaps the Herald is endeavoring to claim a distinction which has not yet been thrust upon it, and is not likely to be. It is the of Dr. Miller only. J. W. Barnes, Esq., returned from Glenwood this morning. He succeeded in getting about $7 from the Blaisdell troupe all that was taken in at the door. The troupe left Glenwood with out a dollar, and left their baggage as security for debts contracted there. The outfit is "basted." W. H. Broadas, who is confined in the penitentiary at Lincoln for shooting and killing the seducer of his little daugh ter in Omaha some two years since, writes a letter, which is published in the Chronicle in which he complains of the unjustuess of his imprisonment. He thinks any father should do as he did under the sama circumstances, and that he h as now been confined a sufficient length of time to satisfy the require ments of the law. DR. LAI1SU ARRESTED. Lincoln corespondence of the Omaha paper3 announce that Dr. Larsh, late su perintendent of the Insane Asylum, has beea arrested on a charge of embezzle ment of asylum funds. The writ was issued by Chief Justice Mason, on ap plication of Attorney General Roberts. Now let us have tha facts, and less of nawspaper sensationals. A standing question Why don't Catacazeygo home?

I.AKSr IMl'KOVE -MESiS A f VICE Jfcc Lincoln Neb., January 21 1ST2. ' - Dear Herald : According to prom ise I give you tho few items of interest that have transpired in this, the capital, city, during the past few days, that may prove interesting to 3"our readers. New Year's day in this city was gen erally observed. Open houses were the order of the day for the Lon ton r.f the town. His cx-Exceileney Gov. iut!er, made the rounds at an early hour in the morning and ending at S oclurk in the evening, lie was accompanied uy a lioat r -,11. of tho leading and distinguished gentle men of the place. Gov. Jaiae.-. seems to be very unpopu lar here, arrived at home yesterday from Nebraska city where he has been assist ing ia fixing up Otoe county legislative ticket. He siui:e3 sardonically when he meets any of Butler's frimds, as much as to say, "how do you like the 'smell of the mustard from Otoe?' " But a geu tliiman here from Otoe, says, politics in that county will assume different shape before nest Saturday. In the intati time Mr. Editors, you m'jst watch and ob- serve p:ising events, ms ixcei.ency is just finishing a palatial residence south f the capital. When completed it will not cost less than $4,000. Many of the citizens are of the opinion that a commit tee to 'nvt'stijrate tho affairs of the Gov ernor would not be out of place, since investigating committees arc the order of the day. The hotels and private board- ng housss of tho city are preparing for the members of the Lei?Ia'.ure and the hosts of lobbyists that are expected. I find that our old friend Dr. Larsh has as many friends here as elscwherc'in the State, and they propose to present a strong petition to the next Legislature for his re-appointment. However, I am cf the opinion that the appointing or 'ousting" power will be taken from the Governor and placed in the bauds cf a committee, similar to the Board of Reg ents fr the State University. If such should prove true, there is no doubt but yarsh will be re instated. The convening of the next Legislature and the differant changes that are ex pected to be made, are the topics of con- crsation among politicians of high and ow degree. Lincoln is, without a doubt, the second city of importance in the State, and may fairly be considered a rival of the New Chicago Omaha. I counted yesterday in the southern portion of the city aloae, sixty-three houses just completed or in the course of construction. It is wond erful with what rapidity this town has grown four years ago a "howling n ild erncrs," to-day it "blossoms as the rose." The prairie grass that the noble (?) red man trod five years ago, may yet be seen protruding above the snow. I regret ex ceedingly that the same enterprise is not manifested by the citizens of Plattsmouth. Whilst our people are asleep this people is alive and at work. Their principal ob- cct is, the building up of Lincoln. I have just been informed that Miss S., who resigned her position as teacher n one of tho public schools of the city, is to be appointed Private Secretary to his Excellency Gov. James. This is pre sumed to be a dodge to secure the votes and the women's rights men in this pro pinquity and elsewhere in the State. Mr. Sipple, a former merchant of Iowa is improving a section of land a few miles rom the city. The staple article of fuel in this city at present, h corn, which sells readily at twenty one cents per bushel. Owing to the deep snows the M. P. road has not been able to make regular trip?, which accounts for the scarcity of wood. That article sells for $8 per cord. My next will be from Omaha. WL-hing you a "Happy New Year." I remain A. Wanderer. Colonel James Fisk, jr., is giving gold medals to the engineers and silver ones to the firemen who mauenvred his light ning Chicago relief train two months ago. One engineer said that tl-c people along the line called the train "God's express" and Colonel Jim "God's ex pressman." The remark was, perhaps, intended to liken him to Mercury, the expressman of the ancient gods who, everybody knows, was a great thief. St. Louis Democrat.
