Buffalo county gives 500 Rep. m MMNMaMi MclJriile's majority in the State is es 'timateil at 8,000. Sannilers county is reported to have gone 500 majority for the Indepen dents. John Ness, of Weeping Water, called on the Herald last week and made us very glad. Franklin county went Republican : strong. Bloomington got a big major 'ity as County Seat. ' The oflieial vote of the State is not known yet. It is probable that the av 'erage majority is not over 8,000. We call attention to an original sto ry written expressly for the Herald in this number. Send us some more as good. The 34th District goes republican af ter all, thanks to Knox county. That kno(x)cks the spots off from Lucas' majority, and gives it to Bruce. There is some chance that our trunk road will be built this winter yet. Messrs. Fitzgerald White and others are figuring on it with Dr. Converse of the Midland Facifiic. (Jen. Grant's siktcIi, the longest he lias yet made, will be found on the fourth page of the paper.

The Lincoln Journal very justly .gives it to the county papers, for neg ligence in not publishing election news. It is a fact fhat a number of our exchanges came to hand, publish ed on Thursday, three days after the election, without a word of the results or any news concerning the way their .counties had voted.

The Xebraska Patron of a recent date contains the following: The town of aurora contain loo or 20o in habitants, well laid out at right angles, with a large open square in the center. If the Inhabitants have, as the Pa tron states, been "laid out," and have large open squares in their centers," we do not very well see how it is that Governor Frunas declares that there are no Indian outrages occurring in Xebraska. Inter Ocean. The Inter Oijean need not make such a fuss, it told us not long since that an "empty car filled with grasshoppers ap peared in Peoria one day." Both articles remind us of the old Geography which our Fathers used to study and which gravely announced that "Albany was a fine old town on the Hudson with the houses built in the dutch style of 2500 inhabitants with their gable ends all turned to the streets."

Written for the Hkkai.u. THE OLD INDIAN LADDER. Or a Reminiscence of Niagara Falls. During a residence of several months at Niagara Falls in the summer of 1832, much of my time was spent in wandering about, above, below, and under the falls, searching out the va rious grand views, recesses, and curios ities of the vicinity. One morning in June, I had descend ed the old spiral stairway to the foot of the American Fall, and after a time spent among the rocks and spray, was about to return, when a legend occur red to me of an Old Indian Ladder, said by some to exist, or to have exist ed in former times, by which ascent had been made from the river to the top of the clills above, (some two hun dred feet) and to be located from one half to one mile below the falls. The existence of such a ladder had been disputed in my hearing several times by the oldest residents, and often sought for from the cliffs above, by others as well as myself, but nothing had been discovered indicating its ex istence. The search below on the riv er bank had not been attempted, as it was held to be impossible for a human leing to pass down between the cliffs and the river, as in places the rocks projected to the very margin of the rapid tumultuous torrent; and the por tions where the solid walls receded, were filled either with broken jagged rocks, or densely matted with thorny bushes and brush, living and dead, forming a barrier hardly penetrable by any animal larger than a squirrel or rabbit. With very little thought or consider ation, I at once resolved to follow down the river margin and search from below. I soon learned from sore ex perience, that the difficulties in the path had been in no way magnified. It was indeed a fearfully hard road to travel. But I persevered, till the cer tainty of the fearful track to be retrac ed in case of retreat, overshadowed the possibilities of the advance, I therefore continued to press forward. At length after a travel of little over half a mile, I was rewarded with a sight of something like a ladder. It looked quite ancient and very much decayed ; many of the rounds broken out and gone. It was some twenty five feet long, and stood with the top against what I could see was a shelf or table projected from the face of the perpendicular rock above, of some fifty or sixty feet in height. The ladder seemed weak and dangerous, and the rough and rugged rocks at the foot, ar gued no pleasant bed in case of even a slight fall. But it was the ladder or retreat; and with but little hesitation, I took to the ladder. With bated breath touching each round so carefully changing from one j side to the other, as one seemed more decayed, or cracked under my weight, I slowly worked my way up. It was also with extreme difficulty that I passed over missing rounds, and off of two which broke under my feet, with out shocks and jars, which might send the ladder and myself in a crash to the rocks below. But over all I reached the top, and could there see that the shelf against which the ladder rested was some twelve or fifteen inches in width. To the right it decreased, and in the dis tance of some twenty feet disappeared on the face of the perpendicular rock. To the left it ran with varying widths from ten to twelve inches, about the same distance, and was then lost be hind a sharp angle of the rock. The prospect looked somewhat dark; but why was the ladder placed there, if there was no passage around the rock? The presumption was in favor of a passage, and I would try it. But to leave the ladder for an upright posi tion on the shelf, a3 also to traverse the shelf when once on it, was a work of peril. A slight touch of the rock above might upset my balance, when nothing could save me from the rag ged rocks, twenty-five feet below. That every movement was calculated, timed and measured, previous to actu al motion, I need not say. At length my feet rested on the shelf, and then as I gradually raised myself, a part of the shelf under my foot crumbled and fell. As my only hope, I threw myself on my face upon the shelf; but in my struggle to save myself, pressed my foot so hard against the top of the lad der that it was displaced, and with a terrific crash it lay shattered to frag ments on the rocks below; leaving me almost suspended between heaven and earth, with all retreat utterly cut off. Completely exhausted and un-nerved by the extreme tension of every mus cle, and the perils I had encountered, I lay like one dead for several minutes, when the question of a passage around the angle of the rock recurring, almost instantly, re-braced every muscle and nerve. Cautiously I raised on my hands and knees, and crept along a few feet, till I reached so narrow a path that there was not room for both knees; slowly and carefully I rose to my feet, grasp ing with thumb and finger ends upon the small knobs, projections, and crev ices of the rocks above, and advancing one foot a few inches, and then bring ing up the other behind, as I had no room to pass one by the other. Thus at last I readied the dreaded angle. But there the light blazed out upon me; around the angle, and a couple of steps, and I was lying at rest on a beautiful slightly inclined sward of grass. But luxurious as my couch was, it was not devoid of thorns, as I could not forget that I had some hundred and seventy five feet more, to climb yet; and that some barrier must be interposed somewhere, else this place would have been discovered from above. I noticed while resting here, for the first time, that my finger ends were badly lacerated and bruised by the in tensity of my grip on the rocks over my narrow path. My anxiety increasing as to what I had still to encounter above, I arose and commenced my upward way. I was evidently on a large slide of for mer days, where a portion of the earth and rocks had lodged in its passage. I found no difficulty in climbing about one hundred and fifty feet; but then, and there, arose the apprehended barrier, a perpendicular wall of about twenty-five feet, over which I could see the trees and bushes of the plain above. I followed this wall to the right till the slide joined it in a sheer descent of one hundred feet. No es cape there. Then to the left with a like result, only the descent was fifty feet greater. The old Bastile was not a safer prison. But hold, a ray of light produces a throb of hope. In the angle at the junction of the wall and slide, grows a small white birch tree, with the roots partly inserted in the crevices of the wall and partly in the earth, of the slide; it rose some thirty feet, leaning from both the M-all and slide, at an an gle of about ten degrees, over the fear ful abyss below, of oue hundred and fifty feet. At the foot it was about four or five inches in diameter. Again, an old log of about one foot diameter, (but how long I could not see) project ed from the slightly sloping bank above. The lower end nearly reaching the white bircii some eighteen feet from the root. Here was a bridge which a squirrel might pass over in safety. Hut cotdd It My weight on the tree would bear it down, and away from the end of the log, and probably out of reach, and suspend me over the terrible abyss be low. Xo, no, I could never travel over that road. But what then ? what other resource? There really was no other way of es cape from my prison, and to remain there was only a long lingering death, from starvation. I well knew that the road from the Falls down the river to the whirpool, passed a full half mile distant. It was a lonely out of the way place; and hardly a chance of any human being coming within reach of the sound of my voice at any time. A full examination of all my resources, showed clearly, that my only choice in the matter was death by starvation long and cruel or a sudden yet fearful one, on the rocks below. If I chose the latter there was barely a jwssible chance of escape. The love of life with me was then strong; and the al most infinitely small chance for it Sent me to the foot of the tree. The small limbs were frequent, and up I climbed. My anticipations were realized. By the time I was twelve feet up the tree, it had bent over so as to be entirely out of reach of the log above, and one glance down into the fearful depths below threw me into such giddiness, sickness, and intense fear, that it was with the utmost diffi culty that I held to the tree, as I hast ened to the ground. I dropped to the earth in a dull stupid despair, -all hope was dead. I have no reccollection of any pro cess of thought or reason. I endured simply a sensation of utter hopeless ness. How long I lay in this state I know not; time was forgotten. But at length I found myself upon my feet and making for the tree again; why or for what, I knew not. Simply as a machine I went to the tree and up I climbed. Devoid of all fear or ner vousness, I reached the line of the log on the bank, now some thirty feet from my extended arm. Xext I found myself swinging the tree back and forth with all my streugth, to bring it with'n reach of the log over and over down and down, I went toward that awful abyss, again and again, before the reaction brought me within reach of the log. As I reached it I threw my arm over it. And thus I hung for an" instant. The recoil of the tree as sisted by my weight, was pulling on my left arm and foot, while my right held on to the log. At that instant a full consciousness of my position and its fearful peril broke upon me. And as full a sense that then and there was no time for thought or consideration. I let the tree loose and with a desper ate effort threw my left arm also over the log, and then after two fruitless ef forts, threw up my feet around the log above my hands. And next I felt that the log teas slowly sliding down over the bank yes it was surely go ing I could feel it and see it move it was all but over, the fall would be almost annihilation. All fear, fatigue, and neryous weakness, left me I was at ierfect ease- stopped. I rubbed and of the rock caught on a scenes tlirougn and my conclus by some means Time again utterly failed me. How long I was thus suspended, I have no knowledge. But at last I became con scions tliat the log lmd could see where it had ground along on the edge about a foot, and then knot. I then tried to move myself up to ward the bank, but found this, sus pended as I was, impossible. I must get on top of the log, and I did so.but how, I know not. From thence I reached tho bank, and fell upon the grass. A great darkness fell upon me, and a long blank followed. As consciousness slowly returned, I began to realize that if I had a body, it was utterly dead. I was surrounded by the blackest of darkness, and could neither move or stir any portion or member of my body. By degrees I re called the perilous which I had passed; ions was, that I had fallen, and that mv body was dead. Bjt the old habit of controlling the body through the mind, was still strong upon me; and in my continued efforts so to do, one of my hands fell from my body to the ground, producing a cold and wet sensation. This upset my conclusion as to my death ; and I work ed away more v igorously to get my body into motion; and after a time, succeeded so far as to find myself lying on wet grass. After still further ef fort I found a log near by, lying much as I recollected the one did by which I had reached the bank ; and knowing that the higher end lay from the preci pice, and in the direction of the road to the Falls, I followed it to the upper end, then succeeding in getting on my feet, I made for the road. After sever al mishaps from coming in contact with stumps, trees, brush, &c, and sev eral tumbles, the exercise so far re stored my circulation, that my sight began to return. I could see stars twinkling in the Heavens, but of course no sun, the day had passed away, and it was some time in the night. I at last found the road, and reached my boarding house at two o'clock A.

This was spoken of in the family as 'going down to the bank to draw a little deposit.' This source of income not being deemed sufficient to meet the wants of the son-in-law, a 'retired lawyer,' who was a little fas tidious in the matter of dressing gowns, slippers and cigars, a strike was made on a new set of givers. The matter was referred by one of the lat ter to a faithful city visitor of the ioor who called, reported, and the result was not only no new gifts, but even 'the bank' before mentioned susiended payment, and the young man was actu ally driven to the cruel alternative of going to work or going hungry."

The recent depression in business has not affected the passenger traffic of the St. Louis, Kansas City & Northern Short Line, as they continue to run six fast express trains, two more than any other line between the Missouri and Mississippi Hi vers. This road enjoys great immunity from accidents, by reason of immense expenditnres, in the last two years, of over two million dol lars, besides earnings in wonderful im provements, in relaying their line with new steel and iron rails.' on broad, new ties, in ne.w rolling stock supplied with all modern appliances for comfort and safety, and as another safeguard, em ploy night and day watchmen to in spect the road before and after the passage of each train, to see that every thing is in order. Conspicuous among new improvements is the substitution for ordinary cars, of new reclining chair coaches, elegantly carpeted and fitted with dressing rooms for ladies, gentlemen and families, without any extra charge. The St. Louis, Kansas City & Northern anil the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs llailroad, form the only line running through Pullman Palace Sleepers between Omaha and St. Louis. The shortest line between the West and the East is over the St. Louis, Kansas City & Northern Short Line, either through St. Louis, the great metropolis of over 430,000 inhabitants, or through Chica go, via the Chicago & Alton Short Line, over the Louisiana.
