Please rad, all of yon. Df. DeKoven, of Itacine College, Is probably defeated for Bishop of Illi nois, a majority of the standing com mittees of the church bavins voted -"No" on his confirmation. They are going to run "Old John Robinson", the showman, for Mayor, in Cincinnati, and they say he is likely to win because he can ride three (po litical) "hoises at one time to the same tune. Warden Woodtiurst of the Peniten tiary has been requested by Gov. Gar ter to resign, and inspector Gould has been put in temporary charge. Capfc Wyman of York county lias been ten dered the vacant tiosition but it i not yet known whether he will accept. THE CHICAGO POST A: MAIL i gaining more rapidly in circulation and influence than any other Western newspaper. No wonder; it is the best And cheapest. The Daily is only S6.80, and thd Weekly 81.65 per year, postage paid. We talk about cold weather here.but in New York and Pennsylvania they have had the coldest wiater known in 20 years. The Delaware and Susque hana rirers were frozen so deep that the ice gorges now forming and the melting of the spring snows have caus ed fearful inundations, destructive to life and property. Senator Hitchcock is chairman of the Committee on Territories, a well deserved place. Probably no man on the floor of the Senate Chamber knows better the needs of the Western States and territories, than does Senator Hitchcock. He is also a member of the committee on Railroads, and Di3 Iriet of Columbia affairs. dril DELEGATES. The delegates to the County Conven .tion are: First Ward Wheeler, MacMurphy Pcpperberg and Hobbs. fcECOXD WARrv Geo. Smith, E. G. Dovey and Jos. Johnson. Third Ward Palmer, Streight and Heardsley. Fourth Ward Cutler, Stiles and Uanien. Greenwood Green McMurray, Rouse and Connelly. Our old friend Stinchcomb has been traveling in Ohio, and reports that leatf beats are all through the country there, asking aid for the Grh'd in Xeb. and lyiEg like smoke. "StincU" caught one fellcw ly playing Ohioan on him. The chap tuld him that the grasshop pers ate everything up out here, even hay in the stack. Stinch then exposed his duplicity and ignorance. We make no doubt that thousands upon thousands of dollars have been -won" back east under false pretenses Uke -those ar.d onr real sufferers never received a dollar of the funds thus raised. The Watchman did drag M. L. White into the business, We simply stated that Mr. White told us we had made a mistake on the county assessment -which would, be less and not more, as we had stated it. The correction was made as it would have besn for the Viatchman crowd, had they ever asked it. One trouble with the Mayor and t h8 rarnpant element of this Council Jiaa been, that they never have aked .advice or consulted the wishes of the people in any of their proceedings. If either thft Jf iyor or any of the Council who have supported some of the most objectionable measures of tht past year, had ever appealed to the Hehaud for space to correct any of the street rumors, it would have been cheerfully Recorded them ; instead of this, how ever, they left it for lh Editor of the nuRALD to first beg for a true state ment of our affairs, and than fosght it ever since. Smart boys. In return for many kind notices of his paper and the enterprise displayed in running a daiiy out ia the sand hills of Kearney, the editor of the Press in dulges 1:1 a very mean fling at the Herald last week. We care nothing about his opinion of our "modesty", that lies between us and our readers, ut we would thank him to read the article straight enough not to mistake ur circulation. We never said it was only "200 to 215, but that the city list only numbered about that many, and in an enterprising town of this size it ought to be larger. We will compare subscription books with the I'ress any day. Daily, Weekly and all and we think he would come out behind in pite of his blow. Put on your specs next time before you try to Eat(on)us . up. Here is the Lincoln Spy's opinion of the same article, and. it is a strong Democratic paper, while the Press claims to be Republican: The Plattsmouth Herald recently had a telling article on the support rendered papers in connection with what is expected of them. "Tip Top" made a very lucid and convincing ahowing that newspapers are not half as well supported as their merit and actual demands warrant. Texas, particularly that part of the State. bord?r:npr on the Gulf of Mexi co, has perhaps had the mildest winter of any portion of the Union. Even Florida has suffered more from frost. In Galveston the only approach to fee7in, v;.s a slight sleet, which melt ed without injuring tne orange tresi. THE PLATTSMOUTH AND tECUM bEH RAILROAD, The Nebraska City Chronicle at tempts to make fun of this enterprise, and says. "blow away, little man of the Plattsmouth Herald," and so on for a half column of balderdash. The size of the IIfhald man has nothing to do with the magnitude of this Railroad enterprise, and the Chronicle man shows his fear and trembling when he attempts to make sport of a grave fact, grave enough for his town, if carried out, and carried out it will be, if the Trunk is not built on time. The idle threat about moving the County Seat to Weeping Water, has no terror for us. We have consulted all our best business men, and our county oflicere, and they sav "Give us the railroads, and let the County Seat slide we don't care." Where! oh, where! would Nebraska City be though, with the County Seat of Otoe at Syracuse? The joke of the thing comes in when we can get more thau half of Otoe county to endorse the move, right- under the nose of the Chronicle. Since writing the above we learn that M. L.. White, one of the commis sioners, has been to Omaha, and has assurances that the men and the means will be forthcoming to build this line if the Trunk fails. Who will want to see the inside of the Insane Asylum then, the Herald or the ChronicU man? VEUV SAUCASIICO The wide mouth, blather mouth, Plattsmouth Herald, declares that "some of the Inter(J-ian men are writ ing editorials for the L,one tree Cour ier." We tender our sincere thanks for this left handed compliment, but ask tho Herald to keep its words close together and remember what it says now, and see how long the Inter Ocean man can keep it up. If there is one article taken from the Inter Ocean or any other paier, without proper credit, and published in the Courier. we will "subsidize" the Plattsmouth Herald with a small independent for tune, sufficient to enable its acute edit or to retire to his more congenial ele ment, a stock ranch. Lone Tree Cour ier. This fellow has got it bad; it takes two to run this terrible sheet. We have no acquaintance with either of the fellows, but since seeing the above, ran across a man who did know them and he says, "speaking of 'mouths.' why one of the editors of the Courier has a slit in his face that measures 12 inches from one corner to the other, by tape line ; and the other had to have a surgical operation performed in early youth, by which his ears were set back to give his mouth room to expand. Not long since an Irish Doctor was called in to examine one of them for canker sore mouth (bad words coining out you know) and he reported, that if an operation should remove the man's mouth, there would be nothing of his face left but the back of his head." That Stock Ranch is good wish we only had one. FROMTliiljliTMILEUROYE. Ed. Herald Dear Sir: The spell is broken. Eight Mile Grove Literary Society is numbered among things that were, and it's membajp retir ed into that seclusion whicn is impera tively necessary, after such long and ar duous mental exertions as have been necessary to keep the Literary machin ery running through the winter. Un sophisticated youths, of a sanguine temperamentuggestthe jiossibility of their having entered summer quarters to rest and recruit, for the coming fall campaign, and one bold and reckless individual hinted at the probability of the Society's resurrection next year, but the old hands shake their heads du-biou-ly p.nd talk loudly and long of "houses divided among themselves," and "your truly," when asked for his opinion upon the subject, sardonically smiles and repeats the old adage, "De mortuis nil nisi bonum." Rut sufficient unto the day is th evil thereof, and it is not my intention to enlarge upon the prospective future, taken from a literary point of view, of this vicinity, thougli I would ask space to tell something of what I know of its past. Like most similar organizations Eight Mile Grove Literary Society has hurled heartlessly at the heads of the unsuspecting Eight Mile Grovers the concentration and amalgamation of all its hyemal intellectual gleanings in the shape of an exhibition, and really to judge from the performance, it is only fair to say that these gleanings have been worth the picking up, and the so ciety has shown itself a success. The entertainment consisted of music, orations, dialogues, select readings an I last, not least, a negro minstrel per formance, and in each and every one of these exercises, the various perfor mers played their respective parts with credit and ability. Of course the severity of the weath er was a great drawback, and kept some of the performers at home, there by disappointing the musical expecta tions of lit.iiiy, but the charming good nature which all the ladies displayed, in responding to each and every call upon their musical talents, amply cov ered all deficiencies, ami the audience which, considering all things was very good, appeared, with few exceptions, to be well pleased that they had braved the storm and left their comfortable fire-sides to attend tle closing exercis es of this yearling society. Among the many who were kiRd enough to lend their assistance. Miss Kennedy and Miss Florence Richard son were eminently conspicuous, ami deserved great credit for the aid they contributed to the musical department and W. Showalter delivered an oration that reconciled one to the idea of the cold ride home. With the reading of the valedictory, by the President Mr. Calkins, the infantile organization was lulled to rest, and should it awake next winter after it's summer sleep, and strengthened in wisdom by the one year added to it's age, we hope that it will start upon its second season strong in the conviction that it has proved the truth of Mr. Mieawber's assertion. "Experience does it." Wellington W. Drtmmond. Men of wealth in New Jarsey have so generally tried to evade taxes that a bill has been introduced In the state senate expressly to meet their -eas.

Last week it had another good article on the inter ests of the River Counties which we give below. Glad the Herald has some friends to help us stand up for our part of the State. LET US WAKE UP. There was never a time in the Histo ry of the State when those directly in terested in the further lievvlopement of the river counties could labor to so good an advantage as at present. We need more population, and particularly more capital invested. We 0:1 tiie riv er have always had, havo now, and will continue to have very mauy natu ral advantages that never will lie en joyed in the interior. In saying this we do not mean, or intend to derogate one iota from the merits of the interior but simply to sieak of facts. Take the State as a whole, ami it has no superior agriculturally speaking. There are, however, certain climate influences ami characteristics of the soil in the coun ties on. and adjacent to the Missouri river, that do not exist in the interior, and never will. Here we can depend upon a greater diversity of crops, and are subject to less ills than elsewhere in the State. Lands for general pur poses are more productive, and conse quently more valuable. With all these facts, the rage for lands for tho past few years has been "west," until to-day lands posessing all the superiority men tioned, commands less price, and can be bought for less money here than dred miles west from the river. Onw of the reasons is our people have ceas ed making the efforts they used to, and those west, with fresh zeal, have been more active. With a proper and well directed effort, the river counties that have scarcely held their own, some of them, of late years, cau djtible their population in a very short time. Let us keep the advantages we have before those -losing to tiie west. In our towns ami ou our streams we want manufacturing establishments. This will bring population and home consu mers, and sulve. to au -extent, the vex ed question and expensive .feature of transportation. " ST AT ETr EJLST Hon. J. L.

If you are conducting a business which looks to a local trade and for support keep day and night actively in your service, the columns of your home papers, and the papers through as much of the neighborhood as you can hope to attract to you. by any marked advantages you can extend to those who come to buy. If seeking a trade extending through out any portion of your own and ad joining States, or sections of the Uni ted States, select the journals that are moulding public opinion and are the representative papers of the vicinity where published, and put them in com mission to bear on tireless wings your messages to the millions who daily and weekly are accustomed to consult their columns for news of the world's prog ress; and if you seek to make the peo ple of the entire country contributors to your wealth, use the best journals !
