Cooley of the Arcadia Cham pion is to be relieved of the strenuous duties as postmaster at that place, whereat he gives forth a dismal howl at Senator Norris Brown -for being the prime cause of his ignominious removal. On the other hand, com plaints at the depapartment would indicate other good and sufficient causes. Bro. Cooley will now have more time to devote to brainier little squibs against Loup City, which to his puerile mind are very intelligent and enlightening. The opening day at Jenners’ Park last Tuesday was a grand success, hundreds from Loup City and out lying districts being present both day and evening,, everybody enjoying the day to the fullest extent.

The homes of Messrs. Zimmerman, Cooper, Culley and E. G. Taylor, respectively, being arranged to represent the different foreign countries, and the parlors of the church representing America. At each place visited, the party was re freshed with viands peculiar to the country and royally entertained by the natives. The costumes of the Japanese and Italian girls were es pecially appropriate and called forth much favorable comment while the enthusiasm which prevailed over the sight of the flag as the travelers reached home gave a touch of realism to the scene.

Again, the Northwestern in advance tenders congratulations to Mr. McKinnie and his talented bride elect. Sweetland-Angier Nuptials.

On July 3, 1857, an emigrant train, which had treked its weary way out across the plains from Davenport, la., came to a halt in the Platte valley, about a mile south of the present site of Grand Island. Its occupants decid ed that at least for the night they would halt there. They had come out with the purpose of locating in the Platte valley, in the central part of the state, and lay out a town, which it was hoped might some day become the capital of the United States— when bands of steel should have con nected coast with coast. On the next day, the morn of the nation’s natal day, they decided to stay where they were. And stakes were placed and the first Fourth cele brated in a new home.*. Of that colony the Messrs. Fred Hedde, Christian Menck, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Joenck, Wm. Hagge, Wm. Stolley, Mrs. John Thomssen, Sr., and Cay Ewoldt still remain as residents "of Grand Island. They have outlived prairie fires and their destructiveness, the fires being set by roving desperadoes, the Indian troubles during the time of the civil war, the grass hopper sieges, the drouths. Shall wonder that Grand Island, on the Fourth, is arranging to celebrate the semi-centennial anniversary in a most elaborate manner. 8end name and address for illustra ted catalogue of bee keepers’ supplies &&& " TBMJI CORN CULTIVATING SEASON IS AT HAND.
