Prof. Dye fc Bro., and Mr. Bennet and lady, all of Brownville, gave a concert at the Court House in Tecum seh, on last Thursday night to full house. We were not present, but the next morning we saw no one who did not speak in great praise of the per formance. Some person at the county fair no tified the President, Mr. Furnas, that they had taken an article of worsted work left on the tables, for sale by Mrs. Green, and would pay for it. It was forgotten who it was, and presume the person obtaining it has done the same. Tlease call and pay Mrs. Green at the Reynolds House. James Stevenson of the Star Hotel, the Western Stage Company Mr. Tierney of the Sherman Hous,e, Te cumseh, many of the good people of Tecumseh, and Mr. and' Mrs. Strong of Johnson county, have our thanks for courtesies Bhown cs last week, white going to, at, and returning from the Jonson County Fair. Johnson Country Fair The First Annual Fair for Johnson county was held October Cth and 7th. We reached the grounds on Thursday afternoon, and found a large number of people on the ground. We were Introduced to a number of the lead ing men who took it upon themselves to show us the various articles on ex hibition. The grounds are on the town plat of Tecumseh, just east of the small stream which borders the im proved portion on the east. The ground was fenced in, and as we enter the gate we observe the stock shds to the left. The agricultural implements and the floral, vegetables, and fine art halls are to the right. Upon the fine art hall we noticed that the stars and and stripes . were flying. The track was straight ahead of us with a stand in the centre, from the flag pole of which the stars and stripes were fly ing. We were not long in determining the fair a grand success for so new a county. The vegetable display was abundant. The articles large and well developed. The turnips, squashes, pumpkins, corn, kohl rabbi, tomatoes, melons, mangel wertzels, egg plants, winter radish, goards, carrots, pars nips, cabbage, onions, beets, potatoes, Ac., were as good as any at the State Fair, and there were more of each than there, The butter, lard, jellies, domestic wines and preserves were most excellent. There were some very nice Concord and Isabella Grapes, a few peaches, pears, and a large va . ricty of apples. The rye, wheat and oats were prime articles The flour from Blvens, Howarth & Co.'s, and from Strong' mills was inferior to none made in the west. In the hall vre found the usual articles of needle, patch and crotchet work, carpeting, bed ppreads, over gowns and children's clothing ; also lounges, saddles, har ness, millinery goods, flowers, bou quets, shellwork, pencil drawings, paintings, needle work, silver ware, hair and cereal wreaths, rugs, ; scarfs, and many other articles. Mrs. Brant's German Bed Spread, Chinese and Japan curiosities and pencil drawings. Mrs. Rhodes, pic ture medley, Gurnsey's cerial wreaths, Mrs. Cook's pastel drawings, In colors and without; Mrs. May bury 'a hair wreaths; Mrs. Dillon's Log-cabin quilt, jellies, wines and preserves, were all articles worthy of exhibition at fairs in our older States. Mr. Dye, of Brownville, with his organ and music; Mr. Hetzel with his clothiug.were centre of attract ion. " ' The best pfg were exhibited by C P. Fox. They were Chester Whites and Irish Graizcra, from the farm of A. T. D. Hughes, In Nemaha county The usual agricultural impliments were on the grounds, among which we noticed a fork for loading and un loading hay, worked by horso power. Col. Rhodes and Messrs. oodIy Bivens, Strong, Bryant, Ward, Cook, Dillon, Phillips, GrafT and Titcomb were managing and arranging mat ters under the presidency of that " rrincly fanner, A. E. Ellsworth. There was present, Col.JPatrick, of Lincoln; Uncle Joe, from the rrcss NtbruskaCity; Messrs. Hetzel, Ilomar Johnson, Dye JJro's, und Mr. Bentley and Lady,' Mrs. Dye, James Steven pon, of the 'Btar Hotel, und ourself, 2f I'rov. iivHk. Trip to Tecumieli. Our first trip to Tecumseh, the county seat of Johnson County, w&3 made in February. 1SCS. Then the business of that thriving town was receiving a fresh impetus. The peo ple were just beginning to have fresh hopes in anticipation of flush times. Brick, lumber, nails, mechanics, &c, were being enquired for. Good loca tions for business houses and residen ces were being looked up as a matter for future contemplation and perhaps purchase. Then there was now and then a farm opened, and in other places hedge rows were started or the ground broken -for the hedge. On other parts of the prairies a stake was driven, and other signs that the pio neer had taken possession were obser vable. In the western part of Nema ha and almost anywhere in Johnson Government lands subject to entry, pre-emption and homesteads were plenty. Soon emigration came pour ing in ; good fanning lands, improved an unimproved, were In active de mand; business houses and residen ces, one after another, were erected in Tecumseh in rapid succession. Farms were improved; miles of hedge were set out so. that In our trip of last week we notice the face of the coun try through which we passed has been greatly changed within the last eigh teen months. Near the road we noticed many new building?. Herman Utocht has erected a new residence ; Barney Otens, John Gutzmer and E. A. Ellsworth have bearing orchards; and many other orchards of one, two and three years standing, can be seen. There is hard ly an improved farm but has its young grove of maples, walnuts and cotton wood timber growing, and nearly every farm is surrounded with grow ing hedges. The government land is all taken, in both counties, and the wild prairie ia being transmuted into the appearance of an old settled coun try surprisingly fast. The farmers are rejoicing In full graneries, but deplore the depressed price which every arti cle bears in the market. Tecumseh has improved with the improvements In Johnson county. Business blocks, churches,, court house, beautiful ; residences, shade trees, &c., can now be seen where two years ago none were scarcely thought of. We find here two good hotels the Sherman Hou3o and the Pacific House. Mr. Tierney is the proprietor of the former, and knows just how to run a good hotel. His house is full, being well patronized by the traveling public to whom he renders entire sat isfaction. Messrs. Rhodes & Tingle and Mr. John GrafT.. E. A. Graves, Capt Bryant, Buck & White, B. F. Perkins, Messrs. Gillespie & Woodly, Messrs. Bivens, nowarth & Co., Job A. Dillon,' D. C. Ballentine, S. W. Wadsworth, Bufeum & Bro., II. P. Bickford and S. L. F. Ward are among her business men. The grist and saw. mill on the Nemaha river, the coal mines near the town plat, and the fertile country surrounding, are among her chief features of utility. There Is no other town of importance within twenty miles, which makes Tecumseh the entreport for a large section of country. The railroad pros pects from the Nemaha Valley and the B. Ft. K. & P., are flattering. Eventually it will make a point of much commercial and manufacturing importance. The Red Stockings, of Cincinnati, played a game of base ball . with the Omaha dub, on Monday, this week, and made a score of sixty-five to one. Two thousand people witnessed the game. The Red Stockings also played a game with the Otoea of Nebraska City on Tuesday, scoring 56 to 3. Be fore they can wear the belt the must meet the Falls City Club. Jacob Rogers, proprietor of the transfer and passenger business be tween Brownville and the depot, is deserving of commendation. The traveling public say they are handled as well between the depot and Brown ville, as at any other point on the road. Mr. Rogers has lately supplied this point with one of the best passenger wagons for muddy weather now in use, made, in Milwaukee for his ex press use, and procured by F. A. Fa-i del & Co. Prof. G. B. Moore, General Agent for tho well known house of A. S. Barnes & Co. of New York and Chi cago, has presented this office with Monteith's Physical and Interme diate Geography, a copy of the Na tional Fifth Reader (Revised Edition), and a copy of Prof. Steele's Fourteen Weeks Course In Natural Philosophy. A careful perusal has convinced us that these books are among the best In use in our public schools. The Professor is a thorough going school book man, and the books he sells are in general use in this part of the State. By Invitation of II. B. Strong and lady we accompanied them home when at the Johnson County Fair last week, and found them well situated six miles down ' the Nemaha river from Tecumseh. Mr. Strong's many friends In this county will bo glad to learn that he has one of the best water powers in the State improved, with a grist and saw mill thereto at tached. The head-water is twelve feet, and turns an overshot wheel fourteen feet in diamerer. His mill turns out about two tun of very fine flour daily. The property is estimated at $10,000, and in our opinion it Is well worth the money. The Rockport Journal prints the list of premiums paid at their late county fair.

Full partic ulars will have to be deferred until next week. Evan Worthing Is entitled to our thanks for a copy of the Omaha Re publican in advance of the mails. We gather from it the following election returns :' Douglass county elects a Democratic Legislator and Sheriff, balance Re publican. Pennsylvania: Gov.Graryand the balance of the Republican ticket 6000 ahead as far as heard from. Both branches of the Legislature largely Republican. ' . Ohio: The Democrats concede the defeat of Pendleton by 15,000. ' . Written for th Advertiser. Sound Advice to Republicans. Glex Rock, Oct. 7, 1SG9. 'Mr. Editor: Since the action of our County Convention, and the failure of the Democrats to call one, (which is a virtual concession that they cannot meet us In a fair field and an open fight;) it appears that a few Democrat ic wire-workers and wre-headed Re publicans have gotten up a ticket for themselves composod of themselves christained the "People's Ticket." The sublime self-appreciation of these gentlemen .in1 voluntarily .offering themselves as just the thing, so much needed, as well as the bold impudence of their christening, would furnish a parallel forlhe jokes of a nursery, were there not connected with It an at tempt at a gross and palpable fraud. In order to view this thing proper ly, let us glance at the antecedents of the two tickets : ', The Republican Convention com posed of delegates from primary meet ings ail over the county, after due notice put in nomination a ticket for which they ask the support of the par ty. No unfairness is charged no charge of the kind could be sustain ed. The usages of the party were strictly conformed to in their action. The candidates are men of standing and character ; perhaps, not in every case, just the man that every individ ual Republican would have selected, yet one and all good and true men. They are just what they hold them selves forth to be, true and loyal Re publicans. They come to us endorsed and recommended as worthy of our support, by a Convention of our poli tical frionds, as Intelligent and respec table as any. ever assembled in our County. Shall we support them ? The other ticket, as I have said, is self-constituted. A portion . of the names upon it, it is known, failed of of success in our Convention; there they claimed to be simon-pures, and stood in. honor pledged to abide its action. A portion have, heretofore, acted with the Republican party ; but in its ranks they were not appreciated as highly as they thought they deserv ed to be. A portion are Democrats, and in their proper element. It is a union of "Bilfil and black George," the "Puritan and the black -leg," ap parently, but in reality, a purely Dem ocratic Ticket. We had as well rec ognize the fact that they have desert ed us In the midst of battle, as to await a fuller demonstration at the election. They have gone ; it is our business to give them a traitors reward. Party usage requires that we shall abide by the action of our Conventions, legitimately expressed. Success could never bo attained without a rigid ob servance of this cardinal principle. A majority must control and our in dividual preferences must yield an ac quiescence. . . i Again, is it not better as a matter of policy, if party usage did not require it, that we support a ticket composed of avowed political friends ; than one composed, in part at least, of avowed political enemies, and the remainder standing, dagger in hand, ready to stab our party organization in. the dark? That we support a ticket per sonating all we have held dear in pol icy for the last ten years, than this non-descript, yclept the "People's Ticket?" They come before us on false pre tences: under the assumption, that they have thus been put forward by the people irrespective of and in op position to all party organizations ; which is untrue. They come before us conceding Senatorial, Representa tive and other honors to nominal Re publicans; while, mark you, Demo crats, unkempt, and using regular JetTDavi3 eye water, are apportioned the two offices giving out the largest amount of patronage. Daily, ct id omne genus, carry off the probable sinecures, while Bratton and the wool dyed bear of the valuables. Daily & Co., the pottage Bratton & Co., the celt If such an arrangement could be successful, would it not, think you, be dog cheap ? Soberly, does not every man see that the election of this Apaloosa ticket, if not in its constituents entirely Dem ocratic, would innure to the benefit of that party ? That giving a portion of the County offices, or any one County office, to the opposition is just iu that ratio precisely furnishing our enemies weapons with which to defeat us In the future? That by supporting this ticket he impairs his own party stand ing, his chance of preferment, and commit an offence against hla own party organization? In conclusion, Mr. Editor though I have in a rambling and hurried man ner said but little of what I wish to say I will add that "party require ments are seldom slighted without detriment to great. interests, and that thi3 Ajmloosa ticket constitutes an Asses Bridge upon which disaffected Republicans may pass over into the ranks of the Democratic party ; but they shall, one and all, so far as I can effect it, wear the brand of Cain. They shall be marked men. So may it be, is the fervent M'ishof a Republican, who, though he did not participate in Convention or primary meeting, has the interests of that great party in view. Recpectfully, Glen Rock. . STATU NEWS. Items from Pawnee Tribune. The Court House is progressing finely. Stone work is completed. We venture the assertion that no county in the State,-save Douglas and Otoe, can in anywise compare Court-houses with Pawnee. We were shown a basket of Peach es at Mrs. Mary Manning's, this week, the smallest of which weighed six ounces. And yet some will tell yoa this can never be a fruit country. But we find that the most thrifty and in dustrious of our citizens are reason ably successful as fruit growers. Mr. James Parish, while cutting wood upon J as. Butler's land had hi leg broken near the ankle joint by the falling or a tree. Dr. McLaslm was called to his aid. : Mr. Parish was brought to town, where Dr. Stewart set his leg, it being broken just above the ankle, and the bone protruding through the flesh, making a severe and ghastly wound.

A heavy Earty of workmen are engaged in uildidg the grade and laying the track. It will connect at Burlington with the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy Road. Among the notables present last week at the sales and who invested largely in Lincoln property and Lan caster county lands, were Gen. Dodge, of Iowa, Gen.

All these distinguished gentlemen are delighted with . our ' promising young city. .. We take the following from the Ne braska City News: : . ; The Nebraska City Turner Associa tion, contemplates erecting a large andcommodious brick buildi nor 40x100 feet, two stories high, on their lot on Otoe street. . Cider makinir is now under full headway in Otoe county. Six cider presses have been sold by one single firm during the present week. .

His place of buzzing, stinging and honey making is a curiosity worth visiting, and a splendid commentary upon the capacity of Nebraska for bee-growing, and honey-making. We take the two following items from a . correspondence from the Johnson County Fair, to the Nebra3 City'Presi. Among the new contributors, of to day was J. S. Hetzel, of Brownville, who placed on exhibition, a fine dis play of clothing of the fines quality, all of which deserves well the 1st pre mium, which was awarded him by the committee. " . In the evening a grand musical en tertainment was given to a large audi ence at the Court House, by Mr. J. W Bennet and lady, and Messrs. Jas. R. and N. P. Dye, of Brownville. This troupe are certainly superior vocalists and eannot fail to entertain any audi ence who may have the pleasure of hearing them. They have, at least won the admiration of our citizens, and should they return, will secure a full house. . Appointments. His Excellency, Gov. Butler, has appointed the follow ing named gentlemen as delegates to the National Commercial Convention to be held at St. Louis, shortly for the purpose of selecting a new site for the Capital of the United States : Hon.'
