It is hoped the Omaha Herald will continue the history of the great reform movement in Otoe, and will publish tho full proceedings of the meeting held in pursuance of that "call" which brought forth a double leaded leader in that pa per. We are in receipt of the Adams Coun ty Gazette, published at Juniata, Ad ams county, Nebraska, by C. C. Si R. D. Bocotk. The Fremont Tribune says the U. P.

Would they trust the care of a fine horse, or the making of a fine dres?, to straDgers hands without closer watching? The Omaha Herald calls on Cass to "strike hands with Douglas" in the formation of a "people's party." Cass bess to be excused. She is just now re- coverinz from a very severe attack of "people's party." She had it bad at the last election of members of the Leg islature, and she has not quite forgotten it. Coal consumers in Council Bluffs are grumbling at the great amount of coal rccaived for a bushel. How much credit 13 Senater Ilascall entitled to for breaking up the session cf the legislature, when he only wanted to "teach them how to defeat his county bill." The Ashland Times corrects our item of the shooting of Mr. Davi., editor, of the Osceola Democrat, by saying that no 6uch man as Davis ever was editor of the aforesaid paper. We cannot say have not the pleasure of a personal ac quaintance with the editor of that pa per. We obtained our information from a telegram in a St. Louis paper. The Council Bluff Nonpareil says th&t many complaints come to them from ail over the country in regard to the de ftrustion of Winter wheat. We have net heard cf many complaints in this section, but if the above be true in ra gard to western Iowa, we fear our own county has suffered to some extent ariH that the farmers will have to resort to the old expedient of sowing Spring wheat again. lion. D. MeCeiig was in the city to day. The counters and desks for the new Lank are Leing put in. The present indications are that there will be no scarcity of "ice in this city next season. Fitzgerald is making preparations, for the erection of his elegant mansion early in the spring. He already has a pHe of sand on the. ground, apparently large enough for the construction of a good eized Uwn. It didn't thaw much on this portion of the footstool yesterday. The day op ened with the mercury down to 13 be low zero, the wind blowing a gale, and k continued cool throughout the day. The motion for a change of venue in tha case of the State vs. Gallant Rakes, oi ft charge of murder, has been over ruled, and the trial will probably be had before Judge Lake at the present term. Fitzgerald is having a large amount of wood hauled to his brick yard, which in dicates that he will pushlhe brick mak ing business pretty lively next season.

WHERE'S THE HOSESTTT A terrible howl has been raised throughout the State against the men who desired to pass what is known as the Salt Land Bill, while the same men who raised the howl have lauded his act ing excellency for endeavoring to break up the Legislature in crder, as they a-, sort, to prevent the passage of this bilb How much honesty is them in the posi tions taken, or in the churned value of his actiug Excellency, when every roan in the State knows that Gov.

The President and Secretary of the Kansas Central Railway Company, of Leavenworth have written a letter to Maj. Loree, of Falls City, in which they express themselves ready to construct a narrow gauge railroad up the west baok of the Missouri river if they can bo aid ed to the extent of $5,000 per mile in ten per cent bonds. This would bo about $80,000, or $90,000 to build tho road from the Southern line of Cass County to PlatUmouth. THE ORAXD Jl'BT For Cass county were empaneled yester day, and were notified by the Judge that he only empaneled them as a mat ter of form, as the District Attorney and Sheriff had informed him that they knew of no business to come before the jury. Judge Lake made this the occa sion for paying a very high compliment to the people of Cass county for the good order which prevailed, also to the officers who are conservators of the peace in this county for their efficiency in niaintain order. lie said it was very remarkable that a county so densely settled as Cass should have no business for a grand jury, after so long a lapse of time, and attributed it largely to the fact of the certainty rather than the severity of the punishment which had heretofore been meted out to criminals in this vicinity- , Our friend Gutbman of the Firm of Guthman & Iluber'y, contemplates a visit to Germany poon, for the purpose of bringing his father to this country. The Oyster supper given by the ladies of the Presbyterian Church, last Friday evoning, wa3 a succe&s both socially and financially. We did not learn the re ciepts, but judge they were satisfactoiy. The meetings at the M. E. Church have been well attended during the week, and much interest manifested. The Rev. Mr. Presson has labored hard in the interests of bischurch and society, and during the time he has been here has gained tho confidence and steew of all. Moses of old led the children of Isra el, Andy Johnson attempted tho Moes dodge on the colored people of the South, and Morton and Miller have commenced the Moses business in Ne braska, desiring the peoplo to forsake all other political leaders and fuilow them. The only converts we have yet heard of their making are, the negro fiJdler who tcs'.i'ied that he voted 0j i'mesHr Morton in Lcau qui-Court county, and the fav ored few who are interested in the Mor ton Salt Land Steal. Mr. Z. Shed has made a failure of the publication of a democratic newspaper in Fremont, and has retired from the concern in disorder. The man who at tempts to cross ewords with such ster ling worth as J. Xewt. Hays has exhib ited in the Tribune, of that place, could expact no better fate. The people may not all agree with a paper in politic, ncr in its positions on local matter; but when it shows that it i3 endeavering to accomplish good, and is actually doing so besides being a good medium for general news, they will stick to it " preference to assisting some opposition concern that does no good to anybody and whose sole desire is to ibjure others, without being of any benefit itself. Mr. Z. Shed has found this to be correct as will all other shed-, whether they are Z. Sheds or cow aheds, or any other kind. Messrs. C. H. Noel and J, arrived in the city to-day D. Wesler and corn- menced operations as-agents for the sale of Furnas & Sons' Nursery Stock. This Nursery is already well known through out Nebraska as being well supplied with everything in their line. It is hardly necessary for us to speak of the import ance of procuring trees and shrubs which have been propagated and raised on our own soil, and time and experience has demonstrated the fact that fruit of a su perior quality, and in abundance, can be grown on our soil and in our climate. Messrs. Furnas & Sons are cultivating largely only of those varieties which have been satisfactorily tested in the West, and efTer their tre:s to the public on terms and rates that will enable all to plant. They guarantee their stock true to name and at prices as low as Eastern nurseries, less the item cf freight. The well known reputation of the proprie tor, insures to purchasers that they will not be deceived in their purchases and that tl.ey will get what they order. The agents before mentioned will can vass the county, and persons desirous of purchasing trees will do well to give thflm their orders. They will also act a ageiti for a book, entitled "Forest Trees, for Shelter, Ornament and Profit," by Arthur Bryant, Scur., President North Illinois State Horticultural So ciety, 1S71; Price: $1.50. A stalwart Indian brave .has lately been appealing to the charitable symra thies of the good people of La Crosse, Wis., by presenting lor their considera tion a paper which certifies that " the larer if? th; mother cf four children." "CAM IT AIE KtLIED BPI,H The Omaha Herald asks if there is " party organization in Otoe, Cms, Nemaha or Richardson counties that can be relied upon for a momeat in any flection State, couaty or municipal." We cannot answer for Otoe, Nemaha or Richardson, but we think we can answer for Cass, and that most emphatically yrt. It has never failed in but a single a'ect'mi that of the fall of 1S70 when the present Legislature was elected, an J we thiiik tho people of all parties in Cars are pretty well satisfied with the ex periment. There are always a few dis" confuted spirits in every party ; but wa think that from this day hence the' Re publican parly of Cass "can be relied a;o:" for larger majorities than ever before given, at SttUe, county and cau u'.ciptl elections." Ths dsy brfjM the commencement of the rec.ct a.ljourned session of the Leg islature the Lincoln Statesman published a lengthy Jit of "pet mimes" which the Journal was said to have applied to the Legislature. It was published with a view to showing the unfairness and vin dictiveness of the Journal. Perhaps a careful examination of the col a tuns of the Statesman, for the past three weeks would reveal tho. fact that they had greatly enlarged the list of "pat naajes." Are these Legislators worse than at the winter session, or is the Statesman more holy, or has it been thus long in finding out that which the Journal knew last winter, or does it really make a difference whoso "ox is gored?' The Chronicle says "an attempt to lie out of the disgrace" brought upon our State by the present Legislature "would only make the matter worse." Probably that is all true, but would it not be mere manly and honorable to even lie a trifle in the attempt to save the good name ef our State, than to lie for the purpose and with the intent of bringing deeper disgrace upon it. We would always prefer to be on the side that endeavored to save the reputation of the tt". The Burlington Haitfc-Eyc ' pub lishes the affidavit of W. A. Lynch, of Ft. Dodge, that the editor of the Henry Co Pros a democratic paper, told the said Lynch that he had fold the influence of his paper to Mr. Allison for the senato rial campaign for the sum of $500, $325 had already been paid on the election of Allison. He also said he had offered to sell to Harlan for 1,000, but that Harlan refused to buy. "ST. Lei" IS' OPFUB1VK1TT." Under the above heading, Dr. Blue, editor of the Nebraska City News, writes as follows to the St. Louis Republican : A Nebraska City paper last Saturday had the following significant notice : Owing to circumstances beyond our control, the Burlington and Missouri Railroad Company are compelled to re fute all grain to bs shipped in bulk to Chicago, sntil farther notice. E. 1. Smith, Agent. This simply mean that the i'hicago elevators are full cf Nebraska grain, and that our merchants must stop buying and all coaiuierci .l operations among us sua pended tiil the great anacouda of the takes can uige:t its morning meal. Wfill did Mrj. Lea R. Sbrycck tell a delega tion of our citizens in 1SC8, that "St. Loui? was dying with natural advan tages." The Missouri P. R. approaches Our great grain and cattle market to A'chison, in Kansas; and the North Missouri railroad Homo distance this side of Chiiiicothc, in Missouri both of them withiu seventy-five miles of this great centre. Why doe3 not the latter deflect from its Ion;; route over uupaying teriitory towards Omaha at least Rive a branch to the South Platte? Why docs nit the Missouri Pacific build the lor g talked of trunk railroad up the wet side of the Missouri river to t h is point? If ('liicago is ful , if the Burlington and Mis-ouri railroaiis crowded beyond its capacity, now is the time for St. Lou is to tap tnis great fountain of wealth. The produce of the upper Missouri a naturally belongs to you as the water of the great valley. Will not. such men as Isaac H. Sturgeon, W. M. McPherson, E. W. Fox, Capt. Oheever and Dr. Van zandt respond to our cry, "Come over and help us?" Nebraska City, Jan. 15, 1872. " The Omaha Republican gives the Jerald of that place a rap over the knuckles on the "people's" movement which it is calling for, by 6bowing that a majority of the members of the Legis lature whom both papers hare been rating so soundly were either Democrats or elected on "people's tickets." x Senator Hilton, whom Mr. Thomas, of the Omaha Republican, now delights to class as the principal among the "den of thievos," and whose name appears conspicuously in the Republican a "black list,'.' is tho man in whose election the same Mr. Thomas delighted one year ago, as a triumph over rascality. Until we have consistent and henest men at the helm of our political newspapers, is it reasonable to expect a pacific and hon est administration of public affairs? Mr. Hilton is probably no worse man now than when Mr. Thomas gloried over his election. . Perhaps, however, he does not now serve Mr. Thomas pur pose B3 well as he did then. The Omaha Herald took up the call for a mass meeting in this city last night, as a political movement to unite all the parties of tho State. This was not the intention at all, but it was intended as a kind of class meeting on the subject of local interest?. We would oppose all such effort! in politics as the very worst policy the State could pursue. We be lieve the salvation of the country de pends upon two political parties, nnd Peking power, both will put forward their lot men and insist on honest eon duct. This is tho only way out cf our present difficulty, and the Uerahl will Act a. bettar net by laboring to purify the old party which it represents Neb. City Citron kle. We fully agree with the Chronicle that the only way out of our present muddled state of affairs is to hereafter adhere closer to parties, that there may be some other than personal intetests to be served by public men. The HeraLVs misrepresentation of the object of thb mass meeting is but characteristic of that sheet.' No m$n of intelligence ccuM ba deceived by the wordirg of the eii. j to EL. HeCLUSIiEir, The popular dentist, is in the city, and will accommodate any of hi3 old custom ers who may desire his services. He will be at the office of Dr. Livingston until 4 p. in. to-morrow. We are glad to know that the Dr. has perfected ar rangements for visiting our city cn or about the 20th of each month in the fu ture, at which times he can be found at Dr. Livingston's office for thrae or fur day. SI BAP. We hare heard men claim to believe that every man had his price in the po litical ma;kct, but we had never sup posed that a newspaper that supported five editors could be bought for five dol" lars. It is reported that the incidental printing of the recent session amounted to just $5 being $1 to each editor of the Statesman and Representative Galey rays the senior editor of that pa per made him the proposition to ell the influecca of the paper in favor of the Salt bill for 'his influence in favor of a resolution by which the naper could se cure the incidental printing.

Lincoln decided at the polls to not ex change their bonds for Dr. McKeson's lots. "Dear Galey"' has declined "taking lock" in the five dollar new-.paper con concern of Lincoln.

The work will be the result of actual canvuss and is expected to be correct and reliable in every particular. It wiil be priuted on fine book paper and be put up ia superior fctyle. utnr.B OF E. J. CI ASS. ' We copy the following account of the murder of E. J. Gass, brother of our fellow townsman, Judge P. P. Gass, from the Neosho county (Kansas) Jour nal nf the 20th inst. : "E. J. Gass an estimable citizen who lived on Walnut Creek, Crawford county, adjoining John llor.eley, some 10 miles North-east of here, was inot brutually murdered early Wednesday morning by a young man named William Moore, wlio had been in his employ only some thirty days, and who formerly lived in in Oakaloosa, Iowa. It seems that Gas, .who was a single man, and was a stock dealer, h&d re ceived some money tho day before from some a!e made, and that young Moore was aware of the fact. Consequently, about daylight of the day mentioned, while G.-s was just finishinj: dressing, he was struck by Moore with an ax, and severely wounded iu the shoulder; aud immediately springing to the door and yelling "murder !" started to run from his assa.-io. But, fallowed instantly, he was aain struck by the murderous weapon in the han Is tf the fiend, and, at one stroke, his head was nearly severed from his body. John Pelso, who lives less than a quar ter of a mile from the sceue of the traged3', heard tho cry of the doomed man and saw the fatal Mow struck, and in-tantly started in pursuit of the mur derer, aud pressed him so closely that he dropped the pocket-book and a suit of clothes, which had incited him to com mit thoheilish deed. The neighborhood being aroused, joined in the pursuit of the fugitive, who had gained the timber skirting Walnut Creek ; but about noon wa discovered some two miles from Gass' house. Al though unuriued, he refused to sui ren der, and resisting desperately, was shot by cne of the pursuing party and se cured. Tho bullet penetrated the shoulder and lung, and inflicted what will proba bly be a fatal wound. Should he lire, he will be turned over to the .ivil authorities for oommitmeut and t rial - Too much credit cannot be iven the citizens who made the capture, for the zeal exhibited in the pursuit of the in human murderer, and for the greater moderation which restrained them from banging him to the nearest tree. We Rre gratified that law and not mob vio lence, is yit ?uprem:j in Southern Kan sas. Visiting the Episcopal Church last night I heard an excellent sermon the text is found in the 1st Ep. to the Cor. the 9th Ch. and the last four verses. A christian's holy career through this life v.a? grandly set forth; would that 1 could give more than a short synopsis of the whole of it. We were reminded of the Christmas that had pa.-cd; v.e turn our backs to it's festivities, and i:cr lies before us the not less important and glorious Easter; but before we reach that day, seventy days are to be lived through, during winch we arc to prepare, that we may rightly celebrate tho resurrection of our Saviour. These seventy days aleo re minds us of tho shortness of our lives, even though the number of our years fhould be three score and ten; therefore with Moses wo pray : "So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom!" As now these seventy days are passing one by one, we should, as the Apostle of old, bring our bodies under subjection, lay off the car nal mind, that we may bo rightly pre pared, through sanctification, to celebrate that great and glorious Easter which tLall be opened up to us all.

It is proposed iu Congret3 to open West Point Military 'School to the Ja panese. This is the nearest to an absurd ity that proposed legislation cart come. What is a military school " for, but to make its pupils the best soldiers io the world : and the idea of teaching other nation's fingfrs to fight, is quite like 1 nding them guns in time of war, A whole seminary fall cf .Ka'araazoo girls are travelling in the O d World, and recently one of them wrote an ae count of their ascent cf the pyramids with the emperor of brazil, and remark ed that the young ladies were assisted by rude natives. The letter was publish ed in a Michigan paper, and was meta morphosed thus ; "We were assisted ia our ascent by nude natives." OSS SVlSAKt'E Applause, says the Baptist Union, is well euough at times,but it is becoming a nuisance in our public assemblies. At almost every gathering there are a lot of yain fellows who pat and stamp at brief intervals, with or without cause, as if they were bursting with admiration. It seems to be their chief auieineat to make a rumpus aud it often comes in as much out of place as the good brother's response of "Amen! Thank the Lord!" did to the announcement of his pastor that a call ofsiekness required hisabsc-uce from his congregation. When one is lis tening to a lecture, and desires to hear every word, it is very annoying to have j the voice of the speaker drowned by J senseless applause . A Wa-diington correspondent writes : "There was a ludicrous incident hap pened at a cone rt last week. I believe it is an established fact that ouie ladies rnak'3 a bu-tle of newspapers. To the mortification of a young lady attending a concert, her overdress caubt on the back of the seat, revealing through the open ing an illusrati-d paper. This recalls the old story of how a certain city was about to be destroyed. The women wore allowed to leave and were told that they might carry away upon their bucks what ever they most prized. Each woman took a man. Of the present generation it has been said that they are so weak in their backs that not many men coul.l be saved under such circumstances Lut here was a young, delicate creature, with tho whole Tammany Ring on her back, and she smiling as if in sweet unconsciousness. A friend sitting behind her threw her shawl over tho "Na.-t'-y picture" until the dress was adjusted A Tkuly Gooi Man. A ripid Sab bathaiian, who occasionally exhorts in church, and fiih the office of Justice of the Peace in a Western village, not long since went on a deer hunt with a party composed of five or six joung hunters By some unaccountable mistake ho lot his reckoning, and much to his certifi cation, be found, on reference to his pa pers on the third day of the hunt, that it was Sunda3T, when he supposed it was Saturday, lie opened the morning with a prayer, and told his companions that, as a chrbt an and as a magi.-trate, he could not hunt that day; and accordingly drew forth his pocket-BiLle and com menced rsad.ng. His wo: Idly minded cornpanions thought, with the Baltimore bank man, "there wm no Sabbaths in Revolutiona ry times," and tot k the hound-i and started in pursuit of game. It was not long before the whole pack was in full cry, and the worthy magistrate, on look ing up from the sacred book discovered a tine Luck making for the camp. With out a minutes deliberation he seized a loaded rifle, and plugged the deer be tween tuo antlers. "Gentlemen," said" he, when hi3 friends came to the spot, it is contrary to the laws of Mo.-es and the revised stat utes of Pennsylvania to travel on Sunday and for thatrea-on I shot that fallow." Which do You Pkefer? Mary says to her lover, "If you pjtdlr the keg of lagt-r, or the bottle of wine to me, just taKo tlie iu to tii e magistrate and get married to them." "What do you mean?" asked John. "Just what I say. I don't want a young mau to come here evenings chaw ing cloves to cover bis breath and to hide his habits of drinking. If you love lager more than you love me, just marry it nt once, and don't divide your afTec tions between a woman and wiue, or a woman and lager love and liquor have co affinity." "Why, Mary, bow ycu t&'k," ex ctaiiiicd John. "Yes, I mean what I Fay; unless you sign the pledge and keep it you had bet ter not come here aain." The above is from the Golden Censer, Roekford, lil. We imagine that John went away that night somewhat dis turbed, pei haps an.i;iy; but ths next morning, free Iroin la.uer and cloves, and without wine, he awoke, and concluded that Mary wa a jewel of a girl, that she was right and he himself was in the wrong. He signed the pledge and kept it, and married .nary instead or lager. Serpent &kla I'tltizcd. Prescolt tells us that the Aztecs made" their -war drums of serpent skin; but we wore not aware, until very recently, that any of our modern leather Lad such a snaky origin. An exchauge staiej hat a single establishment in Boston, !a.-t year, tanned fifty anaconda skins far hoot leather. The boots are valued at fifty dollars a pair. The largest of these skms as forty feet in fangth. The fan ning processes were siiu.lar to those in the manufacture cf aliigator bather, the product being a very beautiful and high ly finished quality of leather, glossy, mottled, pliable, and exceedingly durable. Frankness. Be frank with the world. Frankucss is the child of honesty and courage. If a friend a.-ks you a favor you should grant it, if it is rea sonable; if it is not you should tell hitu plainly why you cannot. You wiil wrong him and wrong youisclf by equivocation of any kind. Never do a wrong tiling to make a friend or keep one. The ui n who requires you to do so i dually pur chased and at a sacrifice. Deal kindly and firmly with all men, and you will find it the policy wiiich wears best. If in Kreent Adventure at St. Loait. From the St. Lou 14 Journal of Commerce. Yesterday an elderly man, well dressed and wearing the cosmopolitan air of much travel, pushed open the oifict door of the Planters' House, and, attend ed by the attentive servants who claimed bis baggage, advanced to the counter where the registering book lay. He laid down his shawl upon the counter, and picked from the rack a pen, as he wrote in clear well defined characters his name. The n?u:e seemed to have a queer efiect upon the clerk, who 1 ad been bowing obst quiously to the grizzled gray old man, who had ju.-t written his signature. The clerk turned sickly pale with contempt and scorn. The stranger turned and passed out, but returning in a short time said, "l il take some din ner." The clerk remarked in substance that he th. uht the Planters' House would be d d first, and pointed to where his name had been erased. . "What is the meaning of this out rage?" sternly asked the old aian, pul ling indignantly at his distingue gray moustache. "It means simply this, that the Plan ters House don't keep niters. If you want anything you will have to go else where." said the intelligent clerk. Here tho crowd thickened, and a rush wa- made toward the book to seethe name of thi man who was the subject of the row. Every man who saw the name either gasped approval or grunted dissent. The majority gasped. The crowd read upon the book simply the name, "r rederick Douelas, WashiuKton, D. C " This name seemed enough to damn the man in the estimation of nine out of ten, who read and sympathized with the clerk. Mr. Douglas made a short speech, in which ha denounced in very indignant term tha procedure. lie said he had traveled in ail the civilized eountriej of Europe, had been received by the high est, and nowhere had he been where ho had received such shameful treatment The crowd listened jeeringly, when Mr. Douglas retired to find quarters else where. Public opinion seems to censure the action of the proprietors of the Planters' House. It is thought that, notwith standing his being a negro, a room micht have been given him, where he could have taken his meals, if prejudice did prevent him to cuter the public dining room. 3?ctal Notice.
