J. C. Gillmore, ono of our big farmer?,
(he weighs over two hundred,) called on
the Herald yesterday and wij-hed us
good luck.
Prof, d' Ailemand tells us that he had a
number of new pupils this week. We are
glad to hear such good new?, for a good
school needs encourogment cf a cubsfac
tial kind, and we are euro the Prof, mer
its it. May his eyes be gladdened by
the sight cf many more ; and may his
shadow never be less.
Cornelius Schaller, agent of the B. &
M. R. R. in England, has one very good
habit : when he scuds a fellow a paper
he marks what he wants him to look at,
and thns saves trouble in hunting over
long columns of matter to pee what the
paper was fent for, do it again Mister S.
We received a very handsome little
note from Mr. Touzalin of the B, & M.
yesterday, for contents of which thanks,
and we only wi.-h we could make as good
talk with our pen as ho can with his
tongue, for he is the neatest talker in
the State of Iowa.
Through the kindness cf Daa. II.
Wheeler, we have received the proceed
ings of the "National Agricultural Con
vention," held at Washington, D. C,
Feb. 1 5th, 16tb and 1 7th, 1872. It was
thajfirst If'ttlonal Convention of the
kind ever held.
Elder Alton, of the Christian Church,
called on the Herald and left a very
good impression of himself. We need
some more such men in this country.

HARVEST TIME.
Mr. Metteer, the great machine dealer
of this town, called around for us yes
terday, and took the editout in the
country to see how the farmers looked
on a good harvest day. We went out in
Andy Taylor's district, and a pretty
place . it is. Over the high, beautifu
prairies, with the broad Platte plainly
in sight, and the illimitable "West'
spread out before one's eyes, no hand
eomer sight could be imagined. Crops
never looked 'finer in any country.
Great fields of feathery oats, golden
wheat, and shining rye, stretch rod after
rod on either side of the road, and the
daik, rich green of the corn eets off the
picture so artistically one longs to be a
farmer. With such abundance all about,
any other business seems tmall potatoes,
this year. At Mr. Quinn's we taw a
Marsh Harvester shaving the stubble as
clean, as true, and as easily as cutting
through old cheese with a good knife.
This machine is a new invention, and
a vast improvement on the old reapers.
If it always does its work as well as that
yesterday, we may almost say good-bye
to any other machines in Nebraska.

ters according to directions and remain long unwell,
provided their bone are not destroyed by mineral
poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted
beyond the point of repair.
They are a Gentle Purgative aa well as a

as a poweiful agent in relieving Congestion or Iuflami

there la scarcely au individual upon the face of the
earth whose body is exempt from the prviwiice of
Worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the
body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors
and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of
disease. No Syst.em of Medicine, no vermifuges, no
anthelmintics will free the system from worms like
these Bitters.

Securing the Greatest Pecuniary Advantage to the Policy Holders
REASONS FOR INSURING IN THIS COMPANY :
1st. This is a Western Company, managed by Western men. whose known Cnanancial charac
ter, ability and position, aft'ord ample guaranty for its caretul and succesiul management.
2d. Its Polices are all iiou-lorlei tins.
3d. Premium all eali. It receives no notes and gives none. Policy holders have no interest
to pay. and no outstanding notes as liens upon their policies.
4:h. It has no restriction upon travel.
5th. Its dividends are made upon tne contribution plan.
6th. Its business is ezcluseivly life insurance.
DIVIDENDS
Are the accumulation of interest upon premiums paid, hence the Company that loans its assets
at tbe highest rate of interest can give you the largest dividends. Eastern companies invest their
moneys at 6 percent., while this makes its investments at twelve per cent, or more.
The advantage ot Western investments to the policy holder appears in the following startling
figures: The amount of $1,000, invested for fifty years at
i per cent, compound interest, is $ 13,420.15

report declaring that (Jreeley had for
years been the most bitter and itnplcablo
enemy of the democratic party, and that
the proceedings of the democratic con

hitherto existing organization of the dem

been false to its obligation of duty to

The Times says the nomination

ITllson vs nninnrr.
Many Bt irie.s have been recently told
of Senator Wiloon's public and private
life; but not one of them m well illus
trates his character, or does such credit
to his nature, as the following, and it
has additional value from the contrast it
presents between him and his colleague,
.Mr. Sumner. A few yeirs ago a number
of Senators had determined that a mem
ber of their honorable body, -who was
incurably addicted to the use of liquor,
should be expelled for his intemperate
habits and practices. Mr. Sumner drew
up the resolution and gave notice of it?
intended introduction. Some friends of
the disgraced man telegraphed t his
wife, and she immediately left for Wash
ington. Arriving there, she called upon
Mr. Sumner and begged him, not for
her own or her husband 8 sake, but ia
the name of her young and innocent chil
dren, not to fulfill his threat. She
agreed to take her husband home and
purruade him if posfcible, to resign his
spat in the Senate. But this was not
enouii for Sumner. He coldly told the
p..-ailing wife and mother that her hus
band's conduct had becme insufferable,
a:id that an example must be mad of
a
nend told her to call cn Mr.
nd see if he would not heln
her out or her inisturtune. fcho had
no sooner told her story than she was
assured by this gentleman that he would
save her children from diraee.
"Madam," said he. 'l think vnnr hus
band deserves expulsion; but I wouM
ratner besr wit?; his iuiprop-;-?ti.
nis term la-ts than that it tii .luld : smi
of his children in after years that th ir
father was expelled from the Senate tor
drunkenness. Mr. Wilson worked hard
to prevent the introduction of the teo-
lution. Sumner refused to yiriij to his
humane enreaties until he w:n cunvine-
edthat by Wilson's effort the resolution
would be defeated if presented. How
many public men are there who woul '
tike po unci interest in a similar ease ?
