tell his neighbor, tht he may have the benefit
of the experiment. What "more appropriate

showed the greatest f Jar and surprise when ta

Sheo is apparently a young woman of about
twenty-five,-and the only marked pecularities

And in her very large rolling eyes." She is yet
unable to talk, but will nndoubtly soon learn.

with a good deal of curiosity. .''..

We notice the arrival. at our Wharf of a
Portable Grist Mill. We understand it is
owned by Da. Hover, who intends erecting
it at Nemaha City, a beautifully located vil
lage five miles below here, at the mouth of the
Little Nemaha River.
Why don't some enterprising capitalist erect
a Merchant Mill in this place? There is
certainly no better point anywhere, a large
amount of grain will be raised in .this countv
alone, the present year, which in addition' to
lhat.of other adjoining counties" would give
such a Mill all tho custom desirable.
