Saturday night about nine o'clock carno our first thunder storm this sea p.uu, with a good fall of rain which was much needed and very welcome. The storm cooled the atmosphere and Sun day and Monday were perfect days. A loud, harsh and long continued noise lat Friday excited the jvonder uient of many as to tho cause. It proved to come from cleaning out the boilers at the Machine Shops by filling them with sand and gtavcl and revolv ing them rapidly.

I Vallery, who has been in Lead City for the past year or two, came in to make 1'latlsmouth a visit a few weeks ago; before returning to the Hills he invested in sorno mora IIeii ALD t(arry him the news out there. We were pleased to receive a call from Prof. Wightnian now of Fremont, formerly principal of our High School, lie is canvassing the city for Apple ton's Encyclopedia, and we advise all our leaders who want a whole Horary in a condensed form to get one of him. Uy the number of applications that are weekly being received at tho Temple of Honor, one would suppose that our city is really reforming. There are upwards of twenty parties ready to be initiated at their next meeting. We call attention to the advertise ment of Cummin3 & Ttichey in anoth er column. Mr. Cummins i3 so well known here as to guarantee the reli ability of any project into which he may enter Mr. Itichey is from Iowa; we bespuk for the firm success in their new enterprise. The ici bridge bore its last burden of cars on Wednesday last. On Thurs day the iron and ties were remoTed and soon after the Old Muddy toekthe rest of the bridge down stream.

Pottengcr was lying half asleep on the oflice lounge the other day when Sam Chapman got a young boot black to commence operations on one foot; before he could fairly open out, how ever, " Pot" was over tha table and backed up in the corner, protesting that they wanted to ruin his practice and reputation, by getting him polish ed up. The finf.st l.durc of the High School will be given this week Friday at High School Hall by II m. T. W. Tipton, a former V. S. Senator, and one of the ablest men in our State. His subject is IngersoU'sT "Government without a GT1" unmasked, and io said to be the h:-st refutation of tho Inger solliart doctrines which has been deliv ered from the lecture platform.

Frank ordered him out of the house after havin:tood his abuse for some time, and as ue did not feel dis posed to go out, a little force was adopted and after breaking a glass put ofthedoor.be had to give in. Pat took him down to tho cooler, and he will have his trial to-day. Coming home lhi other night we saw the mot beautiful prairie fires between South Bend i'.nd Lincoln. Nearly the whole country Lad been burned over; near Waverly tlte line of fire was a mile long and very brilliant. At another place there were thousands of young trees or shrubs that retained tin? fire after t lie main flame had swept by giving the appearance of a vast en campment viewed from a distance. Al together it reminded one of old times when the whole stretch of country to the west used to burn over every year.

The company is a good one, much above the average of travelling troupes. They labored under some disadvantages of insuffic ient stage room and scenery, particu larly in "Under .the Gaslight", buttheh ingeuuity in overcoming them was ad ditional testimony to their ability. The people of Plattsmouth have to thank Mr. J. P.

The engine and tender went over safely and then the bridge went down and the cars to the num ber of thirteen piled upon it ami each other. Two or three cars were loaded with cattle and hogs and nine with corn shipped by C II. Pinkham of South Bend. The cars almost im mediately caught fire and burned very rapidly, some of the cattle escap ed by the bursting open of the cars allowing them to swim to shore but a number were burned, as also the ! grain.

Maurice Fitzgerald who is now un der indictment for assault with intent to kill was taken out on Habeas Cor pus last Friday and tried before Judge Sullivan. After a prolonged argument on both sides tho Judge admitted him to bail in the sum of 81,000. No bandsmen as yet has appeared. Since the present iuJictment McNeil, the man assaulted, has died and his ca&e is now one of murder. We presume the state of the jail here had some in fluence on the Judge's mind in allow ing bail at all, Fitzgerald claims that the confinement is injuring his health.

Geo Towle moved on to his new pur chase last week. The winter term of Luella school which has been successfully taught by Mrs. Havward, closed the 7th. She has reason to congratulate herself, as it is no small task to please Dist. 48. Quite :t number of district schools are being stopped on account of the scarlet fever. Geo. Hay ward has rented his place to a man from Glen wood. Charles Towle has bought the Riley Rector railroad land and rented the same to Harvey Tottenger. Who got more than his share of corn on the Newton place, is a ques tion for the Inter-Ocean " Curiosity Shop." Frankie Pipes is getting better but is not able to walk yet.

In Mr. Odell's school report in last week's Herald among the names of the eighteen whose average scholar ship was 80 or above we search in vain for the names of those boys who take considerable out door exercise during school hours; while Annie 'punter who stood highest in scholars, ip is one of the most regular and punctual scholars in school, and all of the eigh teen who passed examination are com paratively regular in attendance, from which it may be inferred that scholar ship and regularity of attendance go hand in hand. Then w hy shall we not have a regulation requiring regulaiity of attendance upon school duties? Our schools closa next Wednesday. The Red Ribbon Club meets next Tuesday evening. Lucile. From Three (i roves. Ed. Herald: Warm weather has again made its appearance, indicating the annual return of that invigorating and refreshing season when the cold and snowy robes of winter are laid aside for the freshness and beauty of spring But though the summer like weather is beautiful at present, a snow storm accompanied with a northwest er may break the stillness at any time without a moment's warning. The Odd Fellows at Rock Bluffs gave a grand supper at Mr. L. II. Young's on Tuesday night last. The repast was excellent and the table was boun tifully supplied with the best of the season. The attendance was not as large as could have been expected for such an occasion. We notictd, too, that some of the members were very negligent in attending; in fact, a num ber of the members weie not present at all. Notwithstanding all this, plen ty to eat, and fun seemed to be the or der of the evening w ith thoso present and the time was well spent by all. We understand that Uncle Jimmy Chalfaut had an arm 'broken a few days ago. Haven't heard how it was done as yet. Dick Oldham returned from the west on Friday last. Mr. Edward Wiley is happy now. One more to be added to the census. They say it's a boy. The Rock Bluffs school closes this week. Miss Joanna Young returned, Sun day, from a short visit to Weeping water. Quite a number of cattle have been sold in the last two or three weeks. More remain unsold. Considerable sickness throughout the neighborhood; principally bad colds and sore throats. Some few farmers plowing and sow ing wheat. The amount of wheat sown this year will be as large H3 in former sea3ons. Lucile, of Weeping Water, seems to keep the school question on wheels. The readers of the Herald probably get the idea from his letters that the schools at that place are not in the best condition.

The cbject of mulching is two-fold; first, to retain rnoistuie in t ie ground and prevent it from lxing parcli'vl by summer heat; second, to protect th? roots of vege--tables from the severe fronts of winter.

Tittsburg has 72 glass factories, cover ing an aggregate an a of 200 acres'. The wages row paid to lirt chiss men rarfgo from $100 to 1;0 per month. Second class mi-n gft $05. In thj m iking of bottle ghxs, from a half drachm vial to a twesve gallon carboy, American manufac turers claim to beat the best foreign pro ducts, with the exception of one particu lar style of wine bottle, in which (5 'rmai:y excels. In the manufacture of fruit j-irs, represented by tea factories in Pittsburg, the American article is far superior to the KuroiK-an. The moulded table ware is good and cheap, so that a considerable quantity is exported. There ars (.l out 100 establishments in tho United States digged in window glass manufacture. The plate glass factories arc all in tha West Making Grape Cuttings. Few persons understand the import ance, says the Germaatown Telegraph, of cutting up their grape win id for cut tings ia the tall of the year, but leave the operation till spring, when the cuttings, though they may grow, never make a3 vigorous plants hs if they are cut into lengths in the fall of the year. It would seem as if it ahays took time for the roots to make up their mind whether they will start or not, and this time they will take after they are cut oil", no matter whether this is in the spring or in the fall. The cuttings may le tied in small bundles and buried in the earth, and in the spring taken out early and set where they arc to grow. Many set them out at once, if they can be planted where the frost will not draw them out; but those who have tried burying them until spring planting time, report that on the whole this is the be.-t way to treat them. Fish Culture in the West. The propagation of Salmon fish at the United States fish hatching establishment on the McC'loud River promises well. It is said that the run of fish is plentiful, and that preparations l-.avc been made for securing 12,000,000 eggs. Tho cat-fish placed in the Saeram?nto some years ago are doing well. No further distribution of cat-fish will be made, by the Commis sioners, as they think the supply already distributed will be sutlicent for the State. It is said that shad fish tire becoming abundant. The commissioner expects to rccciva a suierior carp from the govern ment sometime this vear. Fish Commis sioner Parker, of Nevada, has obtained 2,500 cat-fish to stock the llumbolt river. Nevada also receives this year 500,000 sal mon to be placed in Truckee river so that they can go to Pyramid Lake. The Cal ifornia commissioner will get 2.500,000 vourg salmon this year to replenish the stock in the Pitt, McCioud and Sacramen to rivers. Life's Vicissitudes. A colored man living in this city, but who was a slave in V irginia before the war. still keeps up a desultory correspond ence with friends in the Olel Dominion, ?.mong whom, be it said to the credit of 1oth parties, arj his old master and his family. Still another is a colored man who used to be a slave on another planta tion, the proprie tor of which, a man named Smith, had an unoniable reputation for cruelty to his "hands." This Smith is now dependent on thelxmnty of his form er slave and his wife, who have taken him home to their cabin, and during all -the years since the War have stood betw een him and the wor-house. But his Ix-ne-factor linds him a heavy burden, and ex pressed hints -If to this ett'ect in a recent letter to a Springfield friend. The latter in his reply took a great deal of pleasure in sending' him back, in real old first fam ily Virginia style, ul should advise you to se'll Mr. Smith " Springfield (Afusf.) Re pullican. Small Birds in Agriculture. Mr. E. J. Lowe, the astronomer, in a let ter to the London Times, mentions a cu rious instance of the value of small birds in agriculture: ''Thirty-five years ago a countryman left here for Australia, taking with him all our popular hardy fruits and vegetables; but the produce was yearly destroyed, until the English sparrow was introduced, after which there was plenty of fruit." Waterton calculated that a sin gle pair of sparrows destroyed as many grubs in one day as would have eaten up half an acre of young corn in a week. The swallows. Uvea tellers, and other summei birds come too late to destroy the grubs it is only the native birds, like the spar row, which really do the necessary work. Frost does not kill these grubs. Even in the severe frost of lSGO-'Ci, when the ther mometer stood in some places eight le grecs below zero, the grubs were not in jured. It is tho little I'irels which are the true undcr-gardeners, though they do take a certain portion of the produce by way of wages tor their work. Sooth African Folk-Lore. There exists among the aloriginal na tions of South Africa a very extensive tra ditionary literature. In some of the sto ries which form a part of the literature occur terms which no longer ajipcur to be used in colloquial language and the meaning of which in many instances are not understood, so that it is thought they contain productions of great antiquity which have leen handed down to the pres ent generation. The advances which European civilization has made in South Africa endanger.the preservation of this folk-lore, ami ki a few years the opportu nities for collecting it will Ihj fewer than they are now. The loss of it would le a great misfortune to the history of man. At present there is in course of formation at Cape Town a folk-lore society, whoso object it shall be to collect this literature, and it is intended that a smalt periodical shall be published every second month. Besides being given exactly in the lan guage of the narrator, the folk-lore will be translated into English or some other well-known European language. - J. II. HALL, I. I. t PHYSICIAN AND fcUEGEOX.

The Death Bate of Our country is getting to be fearfully alarming, the average of life being les sened every year, without any reason able cause," death resulting generally from the most insignificant origin. At this season of the rear especially, a cold is such a common thing that in the hurry of everyday life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find too late that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thousands loose their lives in this way every winter, while had liowhets Ger man Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a largo bill from a doctor been avoided.
