1 J ' XL W. FURNAS, Edilor. THURSDAY, MAttCH 17, 1870. The State Fair this Fall. As is well known to all our readers, the Nebraska State Fair will he held at this place this fall'. The Nemaha County Agricultural Association has tendered the free use of their grounds, and Agreed to fit them up in good style for the Fair, free of expense to the State Board; In order to do this, ' material aid will be needed from the city of Proicnvillc. About two thou sand dollars will be needed to comply with the pledges of the County Soci- . cty. The ground is to be fenced, ad ditional buildings and atock pens . erected, the track enlarged, and many other improvements made in order to Accommodate the demands of the Fair, as well as to sustain the reputa tion of the town. The plan of the .Local Board to raise the money is this : There is now about $350,00 in the Treasury of the County Society. The Board is authorized to sell CO Life Memberships at $20 each. . This would make $1200. The sum of S-VX) we think, should be appropriated by tbc.City Council. This is usual on the ' part of points at which State Fairs are held. The actual benefit to the town Will bo more than ten times that amount This benefit will be confer ' red on all proportionately, and all should correrpondingly render aid, which can be done in no other way thau the one suggested. Heretofore ' in such matters, aid has been rendered by subscriptions obtained. In this way a few liberal men do all, and the majority do nothing. The only just manner of rendering aid to an enter prise which confers benefits on all, is by tax, or an appropriation from a . .general fund. As application will be made to the City Council, we speak cf it now that the people may have time to consider it, And advise with the city authorities. While on this sul'jcct, we desire to " eay further to our people, that Nema ha county and Brownville have an Agricultural reputation second to no other county or point in the State. The Fair was ordered to be held here, because of the reputation, and because too, it was thought a better and more . satisfactory Fair could be held at Brownville this season than at any other poiat in the State. The friends of this enterprise throughout the State expect much of us, and they unit not hi disappointed ! Fifteen years . intimate knowledge of the people of this town and county, warrants us in making this assertion. Another word to the Hotel and Boarding House keepers. You have got to "enlarge your boundaries " We have reliable Information which justifies us in say ing that there will be such a crowd at th next State Fair, as has never be fore been together In Nebraska. Mark the prediction ! Our attention has been called tabular statemeut of Supt. Beals, Is. as published on the first page of our pa- ' per of last week, to what was thought, .and seemed at first glance to us, as a wrong done our county in the ap portionment of school funds. The ta- . Lie showed that in the apportionment of Feb- 24th, 1S70, Nemaha county, with 2oG3 scholars, obtained but $177,82, while, for instance, Butler county with but 201 scholars, obtain ed 5231,12. By adding the two appor tionments, of Dec. 27th and Feb. 24th, and diTtdlag the total by the number of scholar, in each case it will beseen that the pro-rata is the same in each Instanca a fraction over $1,40 per scholar. The failure to understand, we presume, arose from the fact that the impression prevailed that the Su- perintendent ou Dec. 27th opportion .ed three-fourths of the entire appor tionment, $43,321 71, which was not the case. Had that, been the case, Nemaha county would have received on the December apportionment but 2782 85, whereas she received $3426, the total amount due her being ' $3,603 82. , , Nebraska weather is characterized for ite freaks sometimes. But the week past It has fairly outdone itself. The first part of this month has been exceedingly pleasant. Last week the . blue-bird and the robin were "split ' ting their throats with song;" early , gardeners were making garden ; Fri day and Saturday were "mild sum mer days ;" Sunday was Jiot unpleas ant; Monday was the most unpleasant day of the whole season : stormy enowy cold windy freezing "mad as a March hare," in reality. Ther mometer went down to 6 below zero. Tuesday and Wednesday about the K&iue. The "oldest inhabitant" has no recollection of such weather. Look out, what Peaches that were before spared. We understand that a gentleman named Garsoxs, from Dunkirk, New York, proposes to engage in the enter prise of raising oysters in the Salt Basins at Lincoln. If hecomioences, we suppose the next Legislature will be called on to make an appropriation of one or two sections of saline lands to aid the enterprise I We'll take ours a "aaddle rock raast," well done. i '. - Several business houses in this place are giving out coin change for green backs. On Sunday , last, when the contribution basket passed round, the old fashioned, but almost forgot ten, ring of proall coin was heard. We invite a reading of Mrs. Staf ford's "Notes from a Journey across the Continent on the Great Pacific Railway," on the first page of to-day's paper. We have read no description of a trip over the Great Union Taclfic Railway with uvoro pleasure. Some of her descriptions are most sublime. At North Platte in this State, on the 12th, two men named F.

Uhl, from Falls City, in attendance. Judge Mason presides with his nsu al ability. The principal case decided thus far was Whitney vs. Dr. Blackburn, ac tion for mal-practice. The case has excited considerable Interest, and cull ed for an examination of our entire medical profession. After a somewhat protracted trial, the Jury brought in a verdict for the defendant. The case of Holladay vs. Rombach, the Afcpiuwall Land Suit, was settle ed by agreement. Several Divorce cases are on hand for disposition. A. L. Moultox of this place, made application and was admitted to the Bar. The committee to whom the ap plication was referred was composed of Attorneys Thomas, Hewett and Shambaugh, who, we are informed, made a thorough examination, and the applicant acquitted himself with great credit. Sales of Kcal Estate IrXeinahaCounty. We are often written to by our non resident subscribers to inform them of prices of real estate. This no one can do with any degree of certainty. We will publish the sales of real estate monthly, giving merely the township and range and consideration, leaving readers to arrive at their own conclu sions.

The New York Tribune, in a care fully prepareds article, estimates the population of the United States in 1S70 at 40,803,000 ; an increase of 9,000, 000 in the past decaue.

Speaking of Hotels reminds us that no place In Nebraska is in greater need of a good Hotel Building than Brownville, and no place where it would pay better, even as an indivi dual enterprise. While our Hotels are all kept well, there Is general com plaint as to the accommodations of the buildings. Let some body move in the mater this spring. r Col.
