We are pleased to callihe aiieuiicnof
our readers to the fact of a change in
the firm not in the pockets, but hope it
soon will be of the Advertiser. Since
cur last issue we have associated wiih
the old firm the name, services and
ability of Theo. C. Hacker, who, right
here, you can imagine as making his
most polite salam to the readers of the
Advertiser ; not that he intends to worry
his intellect for their benefit, in giving
vent to any soul-inspired thoughts he
may have, but with the promise o? a
close attention to the mechanical depart
ment, in which he possesses unexcelled
ability.
Further, the Advertiser and City
Book Store are. financially, merged in
cne, under the same company, whose
every aim shall be, in both, to further
the interests of their patrons in every
respect.
County Commissioner's Court.
Commissioner McGec, ascertaining
that the 15,000 fund voted last fall cou'd
cot be available here as a basis of opera
tion the coming summer, without submit
ticg to a heavy discount, wisely concluded
to send for the return cf Commissioner
Holmes, his dispatch reaching him at St.
Joe. Holmes, as requested, returned,
and the County Commissioner's met in
full board and passed an order (the
three consenting), that whereas Holmes
had been ordered lo look after the Rail
Jtoad interest of the citizens of the county
at Washington, he be now further au
thorized to negotiate the sale of the
County Bonds in the Eastern market in
the sum of S15.000, at a sum not less
that 95 cents on the dollar, due in five
and ten years, drawing net to exceed
twelve per cent, interest, payable semi
annually. They also, on petition of the citizens
of the county, appropraisd the sum of
200 for the surveying of a Railroad
from the county line near St. Deroin, up
tbe river to the county line north of Peru.
They ordered a notice published invit
ing' sealed proposals for building a bridge
at Bennett's mills, and one near Weddle's
old bridge, on the Little Nemaha, after
which the court adjourned, and Holmes
immediately started East to execute the

Commissioners.

We notice that Gov. Fletcher of Mo.,
has seized the Iron Mountain road but
on what pretext we have not been able
to inform ourself.
It is alledged that Mr. Allen, the
purchaser, has expended on the road du
ring the past year, over SG00.000. His
contract requires the outlay of but 8500
000. Raiiroad men have made a bid
for the lease of the road, agreeing to pay
the State tax and interest on the State
indebtedness for a seriss of years, as a
consideration for the use of the road for
the same time. If the road really re
verts to the State under the law of trans
fer; we should judge this an accepta
ble offer.

Editors Advertiser : Dear Sir A
Shooting affray took place in this quiet
village to day, and is creating intense ex
citement among the citizens generally
TLeie are two stories current ; which
is correct I am unable to ascertain
Robert Taylor, a young man of about
2-4 years of age, shot his step father,
Mr. P. G. Morgan, an old resident of
this part of Missouri. Dr. J F Neal of
Ptru, Nebraska, was immediately sent
for. An examination found that the ball
entered the left breast, near the arm,
and passed under the second rib to the
breast bone, thence through the lung.
The Djctor rerorts that Morgan is not
in any immediate danger. The young
man left soon after shooting, and has not
been seen since. Morgan says that not
one word pissed between ihem on that
day, but thai on the Thursday previous
Morgan was driving his team and sleigh
and that Taylor and Morrow were driv
ing another team and sleigh, and en
deavored to run by Morgan, that they
ran their teams some distance, the two
sleighs got hitched together in the me
lee, and hard words passed between them
then. To-day, Taylor and Morrow
met Morgan in a wagon shop and imme
diately Taylor drew his revolver, and
Morgan reached for his knife, and just
at that moment, Taylor fired his revol
ver which took effect as above, stated.
The friends of Taylor say that Mor
gan first drew his knife, and advanced
towards the young man, who then shot
his step father in self-defense. In the
present excitement it is not easy to get
at the exact facts.
A bad feelinj evidently existed be
tween the two for some mcnihs past,
which has resulted sadly for the parties
participating therein. Morgan is still
much excited, and exhibits much bad
passion, and wishes the boy brought
back, that he may shoot him. The sons
of Morgan are on the hunt fof Taylor,
and many think that Taylor left only to
avoid ruuher snootin'r.

few suggestions through the columns of
your companionable paper, in regard to
the interest manifested in the common
schools of our county. Observation im
presses, and experience confirms the
idea, that the atteution to which our pub
lic schools are entitled, is in many re
spects neglected ; and with the popula
tion of the county increases the demand
for a more general interest in education,
and a more thorough organization of the
present school system.
The principles upon which the present
mode of leaching is based, are of a loail
character, adapted to the immediate
wants -of the district interested, while
they should be recognized by a unifor 3
system, and subject to the control ancl
benefit of a county organization, so that
as far as practicable the educational inter
ests of the county will keep pace wiih
the rapidly increasing agricultural and
commercial interests. The lack of in
terest does not arise from a want of
means, however ; but from a want of
proper appreciation of the advantages to
be derived from a good common school
education. At this advanced age of civ
ilization more is expected from it, and a
greater interest anticipated in its behalf,
especially in our western country, where
to a great extent the estimation and suc
cess cf our schools is partly dependent
upon material furnished and qualified in
the mere mature portions of the country ;
and the success of our school system of
the present day, as it exists in our nev
ly settled portions cf the country, is not
dependent upon the introduction and
completion of an entire new one, but the
founding cf cne, changing its base of op
eration from the dense population of the
east to the newly adopted homes of the
west, subject only to the disadvantages
arising frum the sparse settlements of The
people.
Now, the question arises, how can a
greater interest be excited among the
people, and what plan can be adopted to
remodel the present system, and adopt a
more substantial one? I answer-by
action amjng those to whom the educa
tion of the children are entrusted ; and
as a great deal depends upon the judg
ment and energy of the teachers, it is
highly essential that they should cot
only understand their duty, but be quali
fied to teach according to the most im
proved and successful system.
Therefore, this being necessary, and
as it can be accomplished only by an ex
change of views among themselves, and
the friends of education generally, it is
evident that a united effort in this direc
tion would accomplish much. There are
now in operation in our county about
forty schools, with an average daily a-i
tendance of about thirty pupils, making
in all about twelve hundred pupils. Now
suppose these forty teachers were to
meet together in convention for the pur
pose of mutual improvement in the art of
leaching, would not those instructors be
greatly improved ? and would not those
to be instructed be greatly benefited I
Undoubtedly ihey would.
Then, fellow-teachers, consider these
CSR
fftw.su nrfrrstions. and iuaujrunte a move
ment that will result in the promotion of
the cause of education m INemana coun-
iv. Dthpr counties of our Slate have
taken the lead in thi3 matter, and let Ne
maM not be behind. Who will be the
first to respond through the Advertiser
in favor of this movement. by prompt and
immediate actionr FAIR VIEW.

The laws of the United Slates are
comprehended in two general divisions,
namely : Common Law, and Statute
Law. Other divisions might be made,
but these include all the laws of our
country each division will be consid
ered seperately. .
Common Law may be defined to be
that which is acknowledged to be law
from it? long usage, and the universal
practice of the people. A great portion
of the common law came into use by
slow and gradual adoption and from
time to time was sanctioned by the
courts. Common law dates its origin
far back in the history cf things, and is
not the result of the wisdom of acy one
man or set of men; but the result of
many wise men of many ages. The
common law of the United States was
first brought from England by our ances
tors, and adopted by them as far as it
was applicable to their new conditions in
the New World, Thus the common law
of England is the common law of the
United States, as far as it is applicable
to our institutions and government.
Most cf the States have by their con
stitutions or by statute, adopted the En
glish common law, and as a rule it is
binding, (as far as it can be applied), in
all the State? where it is not expressly
excluded by law. In the State cf Louis
iana the Civil or Roman law is recog
nized, the common law never having
been adopted. This State is the only
exception to. the rule.
The common law, so far as adopted in
this country, is to be found in the decis
ions of our courts, which, when published
by the proper authority, are called Re-
w . 1 1
ports, lnese reports are neiato oe tne
best authority on all questions of law
which can possibly be obtained. Many
of these reports have been handed down
to us from remotest antiquity, and now
constitute a considerable portion, of
lawyer's library.
u
There are other portions of the com-
mon law which consists of ancient cus
toms, which are more ancient than mem
ory or history. It would be very difficult
o ascertain the precise beginning of
many of these ancient customs. Most of
ft
them at the present time have become
obsolete, from the reason that they work
injustice, or are not adapted to American
institutions.
Ine common law as contained in our
reports being the best authority on
questions of law,, are followed by our
courts in all their decissions. These re
ports, therefore, constitute a great store
house of precedents; as a decision on
one point of law in any one case becomes
authority on the same point of law in all
other cases. These reports constitute a
history of suits-at-Iaw, in which an infi
nite number of the most difficult and in
tricate legal question:! have been investi
gated, argued and decided.
Frcm the mature deliberation which
these decisions receive, we must presume
correctness, they therefore receive the
sanction orimperative obeuiance. It
precedence were not regarded, we would
not know what was law, or what not law.
It is from the fact that these decisions
received due appreciation, and are known
to be the law, that we know how to trans
act business in a legal manner; that
people can with confidence buy and sell,
and know that what they have done is
legitimate. Professional men can give
safe advice on legal questions, and' offi
cers can fulfill the duties of there offices
and know that they have not transcended
legal authority. If legal decisions were
disregarded, it would unsettle the rights
of properly; life and liberty would be
come insecure, and society every where
dissipated and in a state of vagrancy.
It may, however, be observed that all
decisions are not inyincible, as there are
many which are hasty and erroneous; yet
a rule of Jaw once deliberately estab
lished is never disturbed except for verr
cogent reasons, as upon a clear manifes
tation of error, or after a long and
practical application of the law it is
found io be inadequate to accomplish the
ends of justice and meet the approval of
an enlightened sense of rijiht.

Editors of J"eb. Advertiser: Deau
Sirs The citizens of Peru are starting

Normal School building.
The Normal School will commence its
second term to-morrow, under the aus
pices of those two excellent instructors,
Mr. & Mrs. McKenzie. iney are giv.
ing good satisfaction and increasing their
already good repution as teachers. The
school isCfiourishing finely, and the oiti
zens of Peru take a deep interest in the
prosperity of the school.

Our School.
Mr. Editor: Perhaps a word to yonr
readers about our school will not be out
of place. The first half of the present
term closes with this week. To say that
the management of the school thus far
has been satisfactory, would not do jus
tice to the teachers and those who have
had the -matter in charge. While the
attendance thus far has not been so large
as was desired,, and not so large, per
haps, as it ought to have been yet any
one who will take the trouble to examine
the school record cannot fail to observe
that the regularity of attendance of those
who entered has been much better than
it ever has been before, the absentees
do not average one twentieth of the
number enrolled. This is cjie of the
best evidences of a good school, and it
will no doubt be found upon inquiry that
the deportment, diligence and progress
of the scholars has been proportionate to
the attendance.
The present corps of teachers have
certainly given thb best evidences of
their efficiency, and sufficiently demon
strated that they are entitled to the con
fidence and support of those who have
children to educate, and it is to be hoped
that the remaining portion of the present
term will be better patronized. II.

Advertising a Success In Business.
The New York tribune has the fol
lowing upon the value of advertising, and
every practical business man will con
firm what it says of the present state of
business: "Prudence and economy of
course, are the two great lessons to be
learned; but there is one part of these
lessons which in dull times is especially
apt to be forgotten. Be sure of one thing;
whatever you have to sell, there are
many people ready to buy, even in the
most depressed season. Find them out;
show them your wares; persuade them lo
buy of you rather than another. heu
buyers are reluctant, sellers must be
active, it is neither cneap nor sensible
to sit still behind your counter and wait
for the bustle of trade to revive. When
business is dull, that is the very time to
advertise. In the first place, that is when
you most need to advertise: and in the
second, that is when people devote most
time to reading the newspapers, and
when your advertisemet consequently
is most generally seen. A few iiollars
thus invested will do mere to revive a
sluggish business than anything else in
the world."
A bill has been introduced in our
