' There is quite a stir in the sciet tif ' lc world on tlie question of further ex ploration of the-geographical locatl on of. the magnetic poie of the earth. A new expedition is cm the tapis, and it Is lcing actively agiiated, not only Ii i this, but In European countries. Dr. . J. J. Hayes has signified his willing ness to accompany such'an expedition.1 A new theory of polar magnetism has been announced, the merits of which Is being generally discussed.

We found the large chappel. room of the building filled with children from six to ten years of age, numbering about one hundred and fifty of them. Consid ering the agc.of the children, we pro nounce the performances very credit able. Many spoke too low to be dis tinctly heard over the room; this fault will be corrected as they grow older. We are always pleased to meet little children, and are- more-than, happy to fice them strlrlrrg witlrall their might to make smart men and women as they grow older; and to aid them, we employ the best of teachers. The three other teachers held no- public exercises on-that evening".- , exc The election of a School Director will bo a duty for all to attend to on next Monday.- The election will he held as directed by the- published and posted notices in the various school districts throughout the State. At tho meeting, taxes may be levied for icaclKirs, school houses, Incidental or library purposes.- "Wo published the school law last week S9 that all may know just what the law author izes themto do. ' It will be observed that "every Inhabitant of the age of twentyoue years,. residing in the dis trict and- liabfe to pay a school tax thereinr shall be entitled to vote at the" meeting." Then by "every In- habitant;.' we infer women is Inclu ded, and by "liable to pay a school tax therein' we conclude that none others are mcant The voter must possess these qualifications :- 1st. Bo twenty-one years of age. 2d. Reside in the school district. 3d. Liable- to pay a school tax . And none can legally vote unless they are thus qualified. "M1 "Wo attended by invitation the clo- VfciD' exercises of the' District School at London, at was nei in- me vnns- Uln Church. The building,- though large, was crowded to its- utmost ca pacity. A printed programme was distributed through the room- by the teacher. The exercises consisted In an cpeningrrayer by Deacon "Winters, and music, essays, dialogues and dec lamations by the scholars. It warmed up our hearts and sympathies to sec riitiJrcu' and older' ones strivinc to overcome timidity, awk wardncss and bashfulnes3 by their" ef- fi-.rts to appear before the public In characters of men and women, and -nerfarm mrts which require much practice and experience to do well. Their efforts were rcal.'w creditable, Considering their opportunity, dly& we are glad to know that they have thC beit wishes and rich experienco of every man and woman In the whole ne5ghborhood to aid them in their youthful discipline of the mind, body and soul. Young ladies and geutlemen so instructed can not fail to mate use ful members in society. Closing re marks were made by DeForest Porter, : lr. Blackburn, J. B. Church, and Dr. "'Grew, the teacher. 'irf.'"' '"'The 'S tatc'Tapcrs" are printing "AG act to protect cultivated lands from trespass by stock," headed "Herd Latv," and -approved February 15th, 1SC0." This passed the Senate brt was indefinitely jo :,onc 1 ti- the House If the t!gc tares cf "Mr. Speaker,'' and "Mr. President," and the "approval by the Governor" can make a good statute J ft pit5 of the ac tion of the Legislation to the Country, then the act referred to may be a good one. If so, we 6ee no necessity of be ing to the expense of sending up fifty-two merely honorary members with- neniinal powers to the capital every two years. The act to make publi read of evvry section line stands precisely in tle same shape, and there may be others we "wot not of," having no better record. The published laws of the fifth session sre not yet distributed. "Who can 'say. when they will be? The Legislature of Nebraska Was very knowingly informed by several scientific but very discnterested gentle tlemen last winter, that the salt ba sins near the capital were of but little value, and that the water contained but a small amount of salt, and that the State ought to give away many sections of very valuable lands as an inducement to capitalists to sink wells, &c, and ascertain if paying salt water could be obtained within a thousand feet of the surface. Upon such terms a host of cormorants were willing to take leases upon portions of the basin, running for thirty years arid upwards. All of these schemers had their friends, and advocators In both Houses, but not a sufficient number to suspend the rules and pass their acta out of the general course of business. So failure was the consequence. Mr, Tichner,; the first lessee obtained a lease with out asking aid to develop, and we are now informed that tuS S wrks are ery valuable, a fact which was well knowrr af tncrffore by 1J whv ted. in vestigated tlicmntter.

' " We have Inserted an article on the first page headed tobacco, accompanied ! by a kind letter to George from a dis- j tinguished clergyman In "New - York. J We found tliese articles in tlie Little Corpemf, and liked theirr so'welX we thought best to introduce them to our '. young readers. We wish every boy and' young man in Nebraska, w-ould read them, and ponder the subject over well. We wish that the reading there of would produce in their minds tho same abhorance of the disgusting use of tobacco, that every truly refined lady and gentleman feels on observing a youn g man addicted to the' ike4 fjf to bacco f any fotm. It is astonishing how bo Useless and so filthy a habit should become so general. Boys long to be men, and soirie more impatient of their swadling cloths than others, jump Into full fruition of the bad hab its . of the . father or older brothers, thinking , this alone hastens their standing as men of the world. We implore every young man to take the advice of those who are slaves to this nauseating habit, and forever discard the use of tobacco. Be pure In habits, thoughts nnd deeds, and you will win the confidence and approbation of all whoso good opinions are worthy of respect in after years. We are fond of good boys, and will go far and do much to aid and encourage them in climbing slowly up to afhuence and influential positions in life. Head the article again and resolve never to use tobacco. Remember that one bad habit begets another, and when once on the road the end is, at least, dan gerous . The Nebraska City papers contain an account of the murder of Itichard Hill, the engineer of the Ferry Boat, by Wm. Beboufcfthe acting pilot. The boat was tied up on the Iowa side for the night. A man on horseback wished to be ferried over. Hill ordered the firing up ready for the trip: Be- bout replied that the fireman could not do so unless over his dead body A few words followed from Hill, when Bebout drew a revolver and shot at Hill without effect. He shot off, a second barrel which took effect near the right nipple, and a third shot fol lowed, hitting Bebout near the same place. Hill then pushed Bebout into the river, and then, on making a few steps, said ho was dying. He was dead before they reached the house. Bebout got into a skiff and went down the river; parties pursuing him, cap tured him, and we learn that he is now In the Sidney jail, Iowa. At a regular communication of 2s e- maha Valley Lodge of A.

AiirxiinttHl hv an ut nf th Legislature of the State of Nebraska, entitled "An Act to provide for the sale of the Unsold Lots and Blocks on the town site of Lincoln, and for the Loca tion and Erection of a Htate University, and Arri- cnltur.il College, and itale Lunatic Asylum, ap proved Feb. Li, lsost," will at LIHCOEN, The CAPITAL, of the State f Nebraska, On the Third of June, A.D. 1869, r Commencing at 10 o' clock A.M. Offer at pnblic sale the Unsold lots and Modes in the town of Lincoln. Said property coimists of the odd numbered blocks, the even numbers having been sold heretofore hv the State and now larjrfcly occu pied by buildtnpi.

We will at trie mime time and noon the same terms offer at Public Auction nearly acres of fine Acrtcoltoral Lands be Km kip it to the btate, lying troio on to ten miles from Lincoln. We Woiid add that Lincoln has now a vormlatlon Of twelve hundred inhabitant, and is rapidly irrow inn Into both political and commercial importance. The Capitol Huildinir is how completed, and the ses sion f the Iefrtnlature just cloned was held In Ik The action of said Legislature so far as it related to future interests of thin place wan an favorable as the moat ardent of ha friendacoald auk. A reneral railroad law was naxsed under which some flveor six railroad companies centering here proposed to avail themselves or Mate aid ami push their roads to completion at an early day, while at leant three confidently expect to be here within one year from thin date. This would seem to Justify ns In sarlntr that Lin coln, at no distantday, will be the "Indianapolis" of ftebrraka, and the greatest Kailroad center west of Chieairo. This, taken in connection with the fact that all the public buildinm are located here, anil I nm Kriihin nn. and a half miles from town there in, perhaps, the richest saline aprings In the world, now in eoufw of development, i ve a ranee Uvt it will be no ordi nary chance for investment.
