Win. Darrah lias gone to De

he will have a pleasant time.
Jimmy Dawkins, nephew of
Wm. Brown, ex-treasurer B. &
M. It. II., has gone to La Salle, Il
linois, to live. Success in your
new home, Jimmy.
By an unavoidable oversight
we omitted to mention in a pre
vious issue the presence among
us of Chaplain Wright's two
daughters, Mrs. Morrison and
Mrs. Buell, who have been here
making their parents a visit of
some weeks' duration. Mrs. Buell,
we believe, has returned to her
home in Missouri, and Mrs. Mor
rison will soon go to New York
Plate. We hope they will take
wilh them pleasant remem
brances of Nebraska, as we know
their many friends here will have
enjoyed their visit.
The grasshoppers are here in
Cass county. We rode to Louis
ville and found them as far east
as Cedar Creek. Further south a
gentleman informs us Eight Mile
Grove forms the dividing line.
East of that there are none; west
of that they are thick, thicker
but not thickest; at least not
nearly as thick as we have seen
them in Nebraska. The cloud of
grasshoppers this year is noth
ing in comparison with the great
grasshopper years of 1866-7.
They have done much damage,
but only in spots, as yet, and if
they only leave now we are safe
for half a crop of corn and over,
the county through.
The concert given last Friday
evening by Miss Ella Crocker, as
sisted by Miss Simpson, Mr. Skill
and others, was a success as far
as the singing, etc., went, but the
people did not succeed in turning
out lo hear it, very extensively.
We make some allowance for
sickness, which was very preval
ent then, but think that even de
spite that, our people ought to
turn out more largely, as they are
driving everything of the kind
from their midst by their lack of
patronage, and only a minstrel
show or a circus can succeed in
drawing a crowd.. Miss Crocker's
voice shows most decidedly the
effect of cultivation, and the
change since she left us nearly
two years ago is almost marvel
ous. With equal perseverance in
the future, as in the past, she
must, inevitably succeed in at
taining whatever goal she may
set herself. We heartily wish her
success. No testimonial is need
ed to the skill of Miss Simpson,
who has appeared before our
citizens several times previous to
this. Mr. Skill's management of
violin and piccolo is also well
known and appreciated. They did
themselves full justice on this
occasion. Lack of space prevents
in pi mm
m m
our speaking of the program in j
detail, and all was so good we can
hardly discriminate in favor of!
any particular piece.
Some prowier entered the house
of A. B. Smith the other morn
ing, through the open front door,
and finding nothing else handy
took a pistol from a drawer. Just
then a little boy came in. Fear

pistol in the bushes and lit out.
Moral: Look out for your doors
while you're out gardening, etc.
Smith thinks we may be a second
class city, but that is a first-class
trick.
Yesterday morning the camp
meeting of the Holiness associa
tion commenced. We rode up to
the grounds and found a very
pretty place in the woods, almost
south of John Barnes' place. A
huge tent was pitched and numer
ous smaller ones. Henry Streight
has put up a big boarding house
on the grounds and numerous
smaller booths and the like are
under way; also, John Leesley has
a shanty wtiero he keeps ice
cream, soda-water, grapes and
fruit of all kinds. The folks be
gin (o roll in, and by tomorrow
we may expect to see things in
full blast.
The greatest irrepressible con
flict that this town enjoys, next
to the W. W. W. and the saloon
men, is the spatting of Joe Con
nor and Thatcher, commonly
known as "Connor" and "Tatch."
From early morn fill dewy eve
they keep it up, first one's ahead
and then t'other. Now and then
they rope an outsider in and
make him a victim, but as most
oi ('ass county is getting too
sharp for them, they soon fall
back on each other, and the
amount of chin music they waste
in a day at a dime a word would
;ay off the national debt, in six
Ihs or more.

Fifteen applicants for a cadet

C. E. Westcott's Sons
changed and ordered around by
Omaha. The ostensible reason
then was that the rjver was not'
safe to cross here, and that a de-!
lay was liable to take place any
day. j
That's all very well as far as it
goes, but the river is open now,
and the transfer boat crosses as
regular as clock-work, and still
all Plattsmouth mails going or
coming from the east are sent by
way of Omaha, and the through
mail cars from the west are run
to Omaha instead of to this point,
where they should.be delivered. I
The disadvantages of this plan
are obvious; not only are our,
postal agents men who had locat-
...i r ... :i: i....... i j '
CU UltMl IdllllllfS ilflf unu IllilUO
arrangements for their homes
here, dragged away from such
homes and forced to run into
Omaha and stay there a largo
portion of their time when off
duty, but by tho present foolish
and ridiculous plan, all mails to
and from this place are dumped
on a freight car, or at best, a
baggage car, and run up to the
junction at Oreapolis, without be
ing in charge of any mail agent.
Strictly speaking, no one is re
sponsible for those bags while on
transit. If they were robbed or
lost no person could be found to
answer for their safety. The
postmaster here would claim that
they had passed out of his hands;
the agents on the postal car,
never receiving them at all, could
not be held responsible, and wo
hardly think the railroad com
pany desire to warrant the safe
delivery of that mail, when not in
charge of any properly authorized
agent.
The contract, if we mistake not,
calls for the delivery of those
mails at Plattsmouth, and makes
this the initial point for the
through mails on the B. & M. H.
II., and we should like to know by
whose authority they have been
t bus improperly delivered.
