But seriously, Brownville, don't you think that a good educational system, and a high standard of morals would greatly decrease the necessity for jails, and be far cheaper, too? We do. As to the sensitiveness cf 'Browk ville," in regard to children being "ed ucated with money dsrived f rem licenses;' it is far-fetched. By the same reasoning, or rather over-sensitiveness, the poor boy, unable to educate himself, would re fuse an education under the common free school system, now prevalent in almost every State and Territory in this Union, because among the many tax-payers there should be a few men who had grown rich in the manufacture or traffic in in toxicating liquors! Or the christian would refuse to read his Bible because it might have been printed by an immoral, unregenerated printer. To paraphraze a medly quotation we believe in in all your getting?, get education honestly if you can but get education. Man Honored, Township Not. The County Commissioners cf this coun ty, at their last session, perpetrated a hugh joke on a f raciional township in the extreme Southwest corner of the county, range 12, Township four named it Bu chanan! We entertain serious doubts as to the future of that township. Don't believe the soil hereafter will produce even white beans; fear the inhabitants, if any are in it, or dare remove there, will tormented with ague, apparitions, and all manner of similar afHictions ; the same disease that ran a lot of swine into the sea, of olden time, will visit the neighbor's hogs; sheep will be killed off by the wolves ; and horses and tattle die with the "sick stomach." Seriously ; we think the naming of the townships should have been left to the inhabitants of each. Death ok' Rev. Geo. C. Light. "Rev. George C. Light, of the Mis sissippi Conference," says the Nashvi41e Advocate, "died very suddenly in Vicks burgh, on the S2Sth hit., at the residence ef . Rev. D. C. K. Marshall. He died on his seventy-fifth birthday. He first en tered the ministry in Clermont county, Ohio, iifty-six years ago, and after resi ding for a while in Kentucky and Mis souri, removed to Mississippi." We re member "Father Light" as one of the great, Methodist Camp-metting preach ers, iu the days of our boyhood. He was a great, good and useful man. r In a Bad Shape. An exchange says: "There appears to be a new Mrs. Heenan turn d up. Mr.. Menken, the repudiaied Spouse of Ada, has received a letter from New Orleans, signed "Jo sephene Heenan," wherein the lady claims the exclusive right to the hand of the redoubiuble John C, to whom she avers she was married in the Crescr City." Qcery : How came the "new Mrs. He nan" in such a novel position; and is she likely lo ren.a n so any length of tune seem to be hurrying along with more speed than discretion. The Leavenworth and Denver Express, extra, passed yesterday soon after we ar rived. It stopped a moment and we had an interview with your old friend Gen. Larriruer, who was aboard with six other passengers bourn! for Denver. We supposed when we left the Beatrice settlement that we had passed the Rubi con of civilization, and that we . should not again meet with any signof settle ment, only occasionally a ranch on the route to Ft. Kearney till we arrived at Denver. In this, however, we were disap pointed. After crossing Cub Creek, about six miles this side of Beatrice, we passed over aa open prairie, for about twenty miles lo the Little Sandy and thence to the Big Sanday, (near to where it meets the Little Blue, about three miles, at Patterson's Ranch, where we camped Friday r.ight. The pioneer has made his way tathese streams, and from the Little Sandy to the place where we strike IS mile Ridge, all the timber claims seems to be occupied. Here are settlements directly west from Brownville for a distance of about one hundred miles, which naturally would make Brownville their point for trade. There is not a better natural road any where to the Missouri river, from the Little Sandy via Beatrice and Tecumseh to Brownville. and a few days work upon the crossings would make it all that could be desired. Yours, O. B. H. The above letter is somewhat out cf date was received just after our last issue but as it contains some matters of in terest we yet give it a place. We have sincp heard of "O. B. II." and party, 120 miles beyond Ft. Kearny. They are now at the mines, undoubtedly. 'exposed to public view?" Jalls vs. School Houses. ."Bao w.n ville," the Brownville cor rcypowdn of the Nemaha City Herald, it seems prefers Jails :o School Houses. So we 'infer from he following: ' "Jhe Advertiser, in an article asks: 'Is it cheaper to build jails than it is to ' 'educate our .children in good morals, and . thus prevent their becoming . inmates of bur prisons ?'.. - . ."Furnas' hobby is education for the peo ple" or rather the children of the people -and right here allow me thank him for hts'ngble devotion to the cause of Educa- tion, . "Furnas also framed, and was instru mental in the passage of our present li- cense law, and in his zeal for education. appropriates the revenue arising from li censes, to the school fund. "Bah! Only think of it ! Educating our children with money derived from such a source ! Who wants to have their chil dren, as they grow to be men and women taunted with the fact, that they were edu cated with money derived from license to manufacture drunkards? "I hope our next Legislature will so emend the license law, as will devote the revenue arising therefrom to its proper object the- building and sup-jrt of coun ty and State prisons. Then it would not be many years before we would hare a strong and durable jail in "BROWNVILLE." JVcll, there is said to be "no accounting for differences of taste." If there were no advocates for jails, either by word or conduct, there would be no need for them. Ileilce, while we have among us, those who prefer"strong and durable jails-," to r;ood --chcKil house?; and ethers who think ; From the Brownville IJoj s Brwii vllle Route. We are permitted to make the follow ing extracts from a letter to G. W. Brat- ton, of this place, from J. M. Cotton, of the first company leaving here this Spring for the gold mines. It-is dated Denver City, March 25th, 1SG0. He says: "We made the trip in thirteen days from 'Brownville, and can say the route from Brown ille is the best to Ft. Kear ny we have traveled. Mr. Cotton has traveled the St. Joseph, Nebraska City and Omaha routes. The roads have been excellent ; not a drop of rain or snow'since we left. We are all iu good spirits, and health. Our mules are in better condition than when we left. Times are good, money plenty, aod produce not scarce; American flour 21 per 100; Mexican do S1G, and other things in pro- Fcr Sle Low to Close a Concern. The Goddess of Liberty, being about to retire from business, begs leave to of fer the entire ctock in trade of her estab lishment for sale. The G. of L. would ofTer, at the same time, the "good will" of the concern, but unhapily it is a long while since her ex cellent supporters and customers have ex hibited any good will towards her. The attention of distant nationalities, who may be thinking about 'a revolution, Hun garians, Poles, or Irishmen, is specially invited to the great tale. Among the articles for which she has no further use, and which will be di.-pos( d of, without reserve to the highest bidder, are the following materials in a slightly damaged condition : Lot No. 1 Will comprise that most respectable fowl, the American Eagle, of the single-headed species, with his claws lull of sheet lightning and thun der belts. Warranted genuine. Any nation in need of an emblem will be treated with on the most libt-ral term?. Lot No. 2 A fine assortment. of Lib erty Poles, with caps to match. The at tention of L.

FaitM) Ft f.n as : You will percieve by the date of this that we are fairly on our way, and have made pretty good time so far, having traveled five days and made about one hundred and twenty-five miles, and that, tco, over the worst part of our journey. iu reacnea here vesterdav (Saturday about two o'clock a. m. where we are now comfort ably housed up for Sunday. Our friend Hackney is a pioneer in his way of enter taining his friends and guests. He is located about one days travel from the Little Sandy, near, the point, where the Brownville road intersects the road from Leavenworth to Fort Kearney, and al though he has been here but about one year, has things put up in better style than any other establishment we have seen between this point and Brownville, when he completes the improvements he is now making he will doubtless make good a show as any other Ranch keeper on the road. We have not yet seen much of the life and excitement of travel on this road. Rush has not yet commenced. The Pike's Prater?, however, hav started, and some services in tunes past, tut is no longer available for national-purposes. The at tention of the Argentine Confederation and the Mexican people i) respectfully invited to :his very excellent article. The G. of L. is sorry to part w.ith what she has heretofore regarded as one of the most precious jewels in her rega.ia, but the change in her circumstances com pels the sacrifice. Lot No. 4 The Stars and Stripes, which she would prefer to wrap around her, like the late Mr. Kirby of the Na tional Theater, and die as would become a Goddess retiring from business; but she hopes, after the next Presidential election, to be on her feet again, and therefore she will not entertain the idea of dying just now. Lot No 5 Will consist of a lot of fine sentiments, not at all the worse for wear, among which will be found. "The Mem ory of Wasmgton," the "Declaration of Independence," the "Rights of" Man." "United we stand, divided we fall," "Sic Semper Tyraunis," "Give me Liberty, or give me death," ami Governor Wife's beautiful sentiment, "The Union of the Whicrs for the sake of the Union." A large lot cf Fourth of July orations and Bunkum speeches will be thrown in, c rut- is, if the purchaser of this lot should de sire them. Lot No. 6 A lare lot of national melodies, songs, anthems and choruses an entire invoice, consisting of "Hail Co lumbia." "Yankee Doodle," "Adams and Liberty." "The Siar Spangled Banner. Lot No. ? That lovely ei lolon call ed Uncle Sam, or Brother Jonathan, which his been found so very valuable for the purposes of burlesque and comic illustrations. The Gtddess of Liberty begs lave to refer to the following named gentlemen. for further particulars, who have been appointed the assignees for her estate: Refekenclc Robert Toombs, of Ga, Jeff. Davis, of Miss., James Gordon Bennett, of New York, William L!-yd Garrison, of Boston, Horace Greeley, late of Vermont. . Terms Indefinite credit." .The above we clip from the . Van ity Fair, and it is about the best take ofTon the state of national affairs we have read. The author might have added to the list of references the names of Seward, Bright, Fitth ; and Wigfall cf Texas in particular, who. on the Senate floor the other day, uttered the following: "These Northern people, of all parties, are a mean, despicable set of starvelings, unable to see beyond a dollar, and car ing for no consideration except money. Threaten them, and they wiil crouch to your feet like k many hounds. Only swear that you are going to dissolve the Union, and the timid creatures will get down on all fours, bite the dust, and kiss the red raierd to chastise thrro." Wigfall is the man who left his native State in a hurry, for" murdering one of his fellow-citizens, and went to Texas, when that country tas considered a ref uge for cut-throats from all the world. How he ever managed to get into the U. S. Senate, even from Texas, is a mys tery. Complimentary. We find in the Cincinnati Daily Times of the 21th, nit., under the head "West ern Towns," the following complimentary notice of city, and of our enterprising Bankers, Lusiicaucu & Caksojt. "While many embryo cities in the promised lands of the West, laid out along the shores of the Missouri a year or two ago, iu the full expectation of rising in a season or so to metropolitan dimensions, have now as wholly disap peared from the surface of terra firma as Herculaneurn or Pompeii, there are a few well selected positions in which, ever since the first building was erected, the growth of population has been very rapid. Brownville. in Nebraska Territory, has attained a large population, and is the emporium of quite a considerable trr.de the very well improved agricultural dis trict back of it, is undoubtedly helping to build it up and nurture its present pros perous condition. A first-class real estate agency has been established iiv Brown ville by Messrs. Lushbaugh c Carson, whose references to eastern houses, bank ers and merchants, &c, include some of the rr.ost reliable firms in the country ; and to these on recommendation of Mr. T. Shinkwin, Law Reporter for the As sociated Press of this city, (who is well acquainted with the standing of, Messrs. L. &, C.,Y the lion. Wm. S. Groesbeck, late Representative for the Second Con gressional District of this State, Judge Siorer of the Superior Court of Cintin tjati, and Henry Kessler, Ejq., Sheriff of Hamilton County, have addyd their names." Doings of the County Court. To T. W. Bedford, Esq., County Clerk, we are indebted for the use of the Record Book, from which we extract the follow ii;g proceedings of the last County Court.
