Has any person found a purse or irallet containing about two dollars in $;irer. It they have, by inquiring at this office, we can inform them of the ctner. Religious. There will be services it the Presbyterian Church on Satur day evening, and Communion Service on Sabbath next, by Rev. D. L. Hughs of Pacific City, Iowa. The Continental Monthly, for May, is received. This periodical is tell vorthy of patronage. We con sider it equal to the Atlantic, or any other magazine in the United States. The Neb. First. From our tele graph columns it will be seen that the First Nebraska did the fighting at Cape Girardeau ; and by their gallant action, sained , much, well-deserved praise. Stxonims. Philolsists say there are no words in the cnglish langua that are always exactly synonimous. Democrat and Copperhead, judging from western papers, are exceptions to this rule. W. H. Hoover, Esq., at the Bank ing House of Jno. L. Careon, has for distribution a lot of vouchers anc sums of money, due various parties in this nlace and county, arising from expenses in recruiting and enlisting soldiers. Those interested will do Veil to call. The Brownville Ferry' Boat. This 1 Institution," afterhaving changed hands several times during the past week, is nnur. we believe, principally owned, and .m.der the control oD. H. McLaughlin. Nobody doubts Dave's energy. Wre be lieve there wijl hereafter be no complaint of tardiness in crossing, while Dave is connected with the boat. Ox a Short Visit.- Capt. J. D. M. TnoKrsox, of Pennick's Regiment, spent i few hours with his friends in Brown vllle. On Saturday Evening and Sun day Morning on delatched service. On Sunday the Captain started back to his post in Missouri. We never before saw aim look so well never before so portly and hearty. If we had not good evidence that it was our old friend Col. Thompson, we should have been almost willing to swear it was Gen. Scoot. Fast Day was duly observed in Brownvillc, so far as appearances vrere concerned, at' least. Every store, Ehop, and business house in town, Was closed. Religious worship was held in the Presbyterian church. Many, no doubt, engaged in fasting and prayer; but it was noticed that breakfast, dinner and supper bells rang as usual, at the different hotels, and boarding houses. Battle between the Pawnees and Sioux. We learn from Mr. Blakely, just" returned from Gage Co., that a bat tle occurred last week between a party of the Pawnees and a large band of the Sioux. The Pawnees were hunting on the Republican Fork and were taken by surprise by the Sioux. Eight of the Pawnees were killed and six severely wounded, the ballance, finding they were greatly outnumbered fled. They came me jjitue isiue ana goi an, xvoper nd several other white men to take teams out to the Republican and bring tack the wounded. When they arrived there, however they could not find their wounded. The probability is the Sioux found where ihey were recreated and fnher killed them or took them prisoners, hese tribes hate been quarrelling for yttrs past, and fight whenever they meet. nil I - Farewell. Farewell is a lonely sound, and its echo has caused many a sad heart ; but none would feel sad dened, but rather feel greatly cheered and benefitted by saying farewell to fcll kinds of-feoda and Saleratus except De Land & Co.V Chemical Salaralus, which will scatter rays of sunshine and mf lappinesi in every houehold, when properly used, being always uniform and perfect. Scicidf. On Thursday ereDin, as th Packet West WJr.rl nnpd im tKa , River, a few minutp? hefnre trir Knt andedm our wharf, an officer on board a Captain in the Regular Army 'of the narce of Watson, committed suicide by shooting himself in the left brest, near the heart. He died in a fpw mr,mmts Sheriff Hughs, acting as Coronor, held an inquest over him while the boat was at the wharf and found a rprdirt in nr. cordance with the above facts. The de ceased was a son of Mr. Watson, a wealthy banker of Lerre Haute. The body, we understand is to be taken to 1erre Haute for burrial. Sorgho Culture. We have been favored by Applegate & Co., Pub Ushers, with two copies of a book of over 200 pages, on the cultivation of Sorgho, by Isaac Hedges, the pio neer in the Northern Cane Enterprise. It treats of the whole art of raising Sorgum, the varieties of Cane, yarie ties of Seed, Soils and Season of Planting, Cultivating, Cutting, Ar rangement of Steam, Sugar Works, Defacators and Neutralizing Agents, Evaporating Agents, Products, Mar kets, Profits, &c, &c, besides much other profitable matter.

This celebrated machine is by all odds the BEST GRAIN AND GRASS CUTTER IN THE WORLD. N twithstanding tbe misrepresentations of those inter ested in otber machines, C. H. McCormick & Bro. man ufacture at the rate of 8,000 per year. Many chance have been affected during tbe past season, and for 1862 the "McCormick" is presented with greater attractions than ever before. As a reaper, THE ECOXOSIY OF POWER IX THIS MACHINE, ITS Strength, Durability, and Simplicity, give it preference over all others New improvements added, have materially lessened tbe direct draught, and so obviated the side draught that many assure u, that it does not now exist. The drught of the Reaper is so licht that in numerous instances the large lour horse machine is worked with hut two horses. FOR MOWING. The Machine of 1862 will stand any test that may be applied. Our Guard and Patent Cleaner effectually prevents choking, no matter wbat the condition of tbe grass, while our new divider point separates baldly lodged and tangled clover or grass, where other ma chines fail. There is also a great advantage in our serrated sickle edge over the smooth, as it does not require sharpening so often, thus saving time. Our sickle will frequently run through an entire harvest without once grinding, while the smooth edge must be ground once each day, if not oftner. With a smoth edge tbe Iraught increases as the knife becomes dull. Our draught is uniform, aud in the repeated trials during the season of I860 61, proved far lighter than single Mowers, cutting at the same time from twelve to eighteen inches wider. Our Mower can be used with or without tbe reel , this is important, as without the reel it weighs but about 670 pounds. In addition to the very liberal warrantee given to all purchasers, we would say as heretofore, that farmers who may desire it, are at liberty to work our machine through the harvest, with any other, and kaep and pay for the one preferred.
