CITY CORDIALS.
A large sail boat made its way up
the muddy Missouri this morning and
landed near the depot. .The owners of
the boat brought aome farm produce to
the city. The sandbars further up the
river barred them from continuing their
trip.
John McClelland, the insane man
who was brought here from Ashland for
the purpose of examination, and who
is now locked up in jail here, is said to
be a raying maniac at times and continu
ally yells at the top of his voice when the
worst fits of insanity overcome him. lie
is a pitiful looking sight.
Some of the active senior democrats
met in a room over Dovey's store last
night and formed thcmselyes into a club,
and It is their intention in a short time to
consolidate with the Yount; Men's Dem
ocratic Club of tins city. OwiDr to the
extreme heat of the evening as large an
attendance as was anticipated did not
put in an appearance.
several of the striking engineers
were at the depot this morning for the
purpose of giving I'obt. Smith, an ex
striker, a serenade as lie put iu an ap
pearance on his run between here and
Lincoln which he has just secured. His
engine is No. 3 and he has the passenger
run. The names he was greeted with
were not consoling to his temper, but no
further harm than a little rousrh abuse
took place.
Mr. O. B. Kent pater, who recently
came anion 2 us and has worked himself
up quite an extensive reputation in
short time as a piano tuner, received this
morninir from Derby. Conn., an elegant
sterling piano, which he now has on ex
Siibition at II. Boeck's furniture store
The instrument is finely finished and has
a very fine tone. Mr. Kempster express
ed himself as being well pleased with
the instrument.
Canadians contemplating matrimony
will be interested in knowing that uuder
a recent act they can be married in Mich
igan without being required to procure a
license or pay any fee. Detroit and Port
Huron clergyman and J. lYs may expect
a great boom from this side of the line
when this fact becomes generally known.
The whole business, including railway
fare, can be transacted by an economical
couple for r. live dollar note. Petrolea.
Out., Topic.
Two young clerks of this city who
attended church at Kock Creek last Sun-
lay night were, from what information
we received, strongly educated to prac
tice economy at one time, but we believe
economy as they practiced it with as
much required patience, would cease to
!e a virtue. The young men drove to
that burg and called on a couple of their
young lady friends, and that evening
they employed the economical scheme
we speak of in conveying their lady
friends to church. They had one buggy
and the four occupied that bu?jy. Two
occupied the seat, one was supported by
the two and the other occupant found
room to stand back of the seat when the
cover was thrown back far enough.
The serenadinu party which took a
circuit around the city last Monday night
serenaded the residence of a certain min
ister in his absence. For fear they might
feel slighted at not receiving applause
from within he requested us to state that
their kindness was appreciated although
he and his wife were both absent from
home that evening. Wc did not learn how
many pieces were rendered before the
house, but it is supposed that was the
last place they sang that night for they
received poor encouragement there. A
geutleman who was serenaded by the
same party also states that one of the
gentlemen of the party, after they had
sung otfveral pieces, was about to put his
ar to the keyhole and listen for applause
when the sound of a man's voice was
heard within a few inche of it. The
fellow replaced himself with the elastici
ty of a cat.
A very pleasant surprise was tender
mi Mr. Wash. Smith last evening at his
home, the eycut being a party given by
hi wife, in honor of their twenty-first
wedding anniversary and hi fifty-second
birthday. Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Win.
Smith, who assisted Mrs. Smith in prepar
ing the supper, attained for themselves
great credit from the gentleman who par
took of a hearty repast. They say the
supper was first class and as good as any
ever given in the city. Ten gentlemen
were at the house to greet him on his ar
rival shortly after 0 o'clock anl the sur
prise was said to be complete. All
present say that a more enjoyable time
could not have been had. The following
gentlemen were present: Messrs. Ed
Grease, Dan Smith, Win Balance, C. M.
Butler. S. SL Ctoper. J. . W. Young,
Fmnk Carrnth, WaU. Hayes, B. Spurlock

The fishing party spoken of yester
terday under the auspices of the young
ladies proved to be as successful in their
undertaking as at first anticipated. The
party left the city about 1:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon and drove to a'point on
the Platte river known as "The Dump,'
about four miles from the city. Ice cream,
cake and various kinds of refreshments
were provided by the young ladies, and
ifter a short time of rustication, the
whole party sat down and partook of a
iiearty repast. The young gc-ptloincu
.vere waited upon by the young ladies in
1 manner which bespeaks for them sue
ess in any future leap year undertaking. !
Though their experience has been limited,
his being the first undertaking of the
Kind we have heard of, they proved them-
-elyes efficient escorts and the gentlemen
.vere very favorably impressed by the at
tention shown them. After all were sat
d with the refreshments, preparations
vere made for fishing. When everything
vas in readiness the lines and hooks were
thrown to the water. Some became im
patient at times because the fish would
not bite to suit, and nibble away until
the bate was removed. A married lady,
and the only one in the party, succeeded
in landing the first fi-h and after that the
time was spent in pulling out crabs and
minnows, which success did not altogeth
er gratify their desires. As the afternoon
Wits very warm, not so much time aa had
been calculated was occupied in this way,
and the party succeeded in finding for
themselves considerable enjojment in
various other amusements before the time
arrived for them to take their departure.
On the return trip singing was indulged
in freely and enjoyed by all, and about
10 o'clock the party was again at home.
Mr. EJ Fitzgerald transferred the party.
