It is etehtsen by twelve miles f;uare. Rnd its present population cum bers about two.thousand. The first set dements therein- wcre'mnde about ten years ago. but rery few cf the present population hare resided there more than five years, end a lar9 majority col lon ger than two years. The settlers fcare appropriated the choice locations ae homestead?, undor the Act cf Congress, and as we are informed but one has proved up and obtained his patent. It generally speaking, a well watered prairie county, with more or less timber alon? the banks of its numerous streams. The land is rich, and prcdces good crops cf corn and other grains. The south fork cf the Little Nemaha River and its tributaries waters the north part of the county. The north fork cf the Great Nemaha River, runs diagonally through the county from the south east to the north west, sending ctie cf its branches from the centre of the county up to the south west corner. Turkey creek enter? the county on the eouih line, and winds around in s wes terly direction, and Lone branch reaches the cennty on the east. These, with u rnerous other srxiall streams, afford abun- dance of water fox stock, water power, and the wants cf a large population. There is one grist and saw mil! on the Big Nemaha, ncrth branch, at Tecum f eh one on the same river six miles below, aud one ten miles above, and one on the j branch cf same river running towards the south west corner of the county, nine miles west of Tecumseh. Good 6tone for building purposes can ba had for S2,o0 per cord. Brick for S12.00 per thou sand, hardwoctS lumber for $3.50 per hundred, and cottonwood lumber for $2.50 and good shingles from $3,50 to $5 per thousand. Good school houses ; are located in every settlement, and schools are cpen to all children free, from six to ten months in the year. The Christian,Eaptist and Methodist societies have church organi zations in tha various settlements, and stated preaching. The principle pro ductions are corn, wheat, oata and pota toes, and one will see in passing through the county ccrrells of fine horses, cattle and sheep. The capacity of the inhabitants to pur chase and pay for goods, is variously es timated at from $100,000 to $150,000. The first sum was given by her best bu siness men as all they ought to buy, and the last as all they could pay for. Comparatively there is but a small portion cf the resource? cf the county yet improved. Very near or quite all the lands have been taken. There remains but few undesirable locations still in the hands cf the "General Government.- There are many good improved quarter sections which can be had by actual set tlers cheap. In traveling through the county we noticed lime Lilns at various points, one brick kiln, and several coal beds, where a good quality of stone coal was offered fcr sale at 30 cents per pushel, The people cf the, county are looking forward to the day when the Broirnville, Ft. Kearney and Pacific Rail Read, and a rail road from Rub up the valley cf the Nemaha, will le completed, running through their ccunty. These roads will erentually be built, and will materially enhance the value cf all real estate in the county.

We re not saying one word to discourage the young, earnest teacher. Ve-knoir that every true teacher feels his own deficiency, and tries to remedy it; but ii is the trat,s:nt, unsettled being, who offers his services as teacher, because he can obtain a little money in that way easier than with his ax in the timber. It is the pretenst, the sham, the thadoto, of a teacher that we object to. We honor the true, earnest worker in th8 cjioor room, but wo h eartily de?p ise the ignorant sycophant, who palms himself off, cn a credulous commutity , as a teacher, when be does not possess one real qualification for the position. It is t'm8 we began to insist on our teachers knowi ng mere than the cdyhatct. They, ought, at least, to be required to learn the multiplication ta ils, and know whether th earth is round or Cat !

We presume that Nebraska has as competent teachers within ber bounds as many other. States, and yet that is not saying very much for her. We propose discussing in our next issue some of the qualifications neo?sary to a good teacher.

Send in your item, teache Y Mr. Editor : Incompliance with th request of your "Peru Correspondent" in your last issue, permit me to say that as regards a proposition looking lo the educational interets of Nemaha county. I think that the objest can be accomplish ed by an association of 11 the teachers of the county, say at Brownville, when an exchange of view could be had upon such educational topics as might come be fore it.' Perhaps thid movement would have been more succssfut earlier in the season when every district couldave been reprcsenied, and while all lhe schools were in session ; yet a majority of the schools will be in operaion during the summer months. However a permanent organization can be affected with an executive committee, to. propose a pro gramme in the interval for an adjourned session. It we would succeed.vwe must have an organization ; and by the perfec tion of the same we would accomplish much. To the consideration of those now teaching, or who intend to teach. would, we escecally. recomend this movement. Now the Question arises as to the most expedient plan to be adopted, by which every teacher, and friend of education can be enlisted in this move ment. Perhaps it would be advisable to secure the co-operation of several teach ers in the county, to prepare a programe and call a meeting, stating the object and subjects for discussion '. Teachers from adjoining counties no doubt, would meet with us and add to the interest cf cur association.

The river has been frozen bjj all this time, so were I ever so much inclined, could not Like ray grain there in the only tims of the year which I have to spare for thaji purpose. Some other mode of dis posing of the same must be resorted to. I took from a drove of cattle thirty head 'f oxen, and agreed to feed them from the first diy of Noveia ber to the first day of Hay, all the com and hay they will. eat. The cattle were weighed to me at four cents per pound, and I am to weigh them back to the owners at five cent3 per pound, gross, on the first day cf May next. This I calculate i3 equiva lent to nine cents .fos- each addit:onal pound I make t"hem weigh in the spring over their fall weight. , The additional weight per ox will at a low estimate be three bun lred pounds I bought sixty hogs to run in the same yard with the cattle at five dollars a peace.

The manure they make is worth more to me than the cost of feeding the cattle ; and you will ob serve that this process of disposing of my hay and grain leaves my farm still in the State of Nebraska. Ndw as economy is my aim and study, I would be glad if a ny of your readers would give ns a cheaper and a better plan to ship their hay and grain to market.

Mr. Editob: Having writtena short article on "Hedging" in reply to your correspondent whose signature is "E. II.

CARSON, 7 a grove, not in a hedge. Now, Sir, the reason why Osage is valuable for hedging-i3 that it is hardy, and will bear crowding and trimming, and can be converted into a shruh, Just what we want. I know it does well set as close as four inches, tho' it is a wast of plants. Six or eight inches is close enough. If set wider, they must grow two or three years, and then be topped if yoa want a hog-tight fence. This process makes a strong fence, but makes it more difUcult to trim afterward and can never be made so neat. The cheapest and best way to make a good hedge is to commence right and keep it right. I will give my plan of hedging, with which I have had perfect success. I think that those who have no-exppiecce in raising p'ants can buy them cheaper thaa they aiford to can raise them. Seed planted in the hedge row is time and money lost. I should get good sound pi an U, should prefer a common or small sized plant, as every one knows the more root a plant has in reso ting, the more sure it is to grow, especially if it shoald be dry. The plant roots very d&ep. A large plant has a root from two to three feet long, and as tbey are not taken up more than eight inches deep, the root is left in the ground, while the small pltnt has nearly all the root left and grows better. I should prefer plants grown hero to those shipped from the East. The hedge row should be well plowed and harrowed, but not thrown np, exeept on wet land, then draw a straight furrow, dep. Let one hind take the p'ants, first having them topped within rwo or three inches of the yellow root ; press them against the bare side of the fur row so they will stand. Let another follow with a hoe ; 11 the furrow level ; then tramp the dirt tight ; then fill np again, and leaving the dirtioote on top. Da certain to set deep enough so the rain will not settle the earth, and leave the yellow rjot naked. The plant may be slightly covered over the top without doing it any barm. This leavs the plant in a slanting position, and it is likely to throw out several shoots, the more the better. With tha data nf entrv . i. .. .. . i Third.
