Vrom our Daily of Thursday.
STATE FAIR.
jfaj. Wheeler, Secretary of the
State JJoard of Agriculture, arrived
here to-day, and i3 prepared to receive
entries. His office will be at the Ed
itorial rooms of the Advertiser.
Our people in town especially, should
make their entries early.
justice Ebright this morning gave
Jits decision in the libel case between
jude Hewett and the Democrat.
The publishers were jointly bound
over in the sum of $500. Failing to
rive bail, they were committed.: Ad

Vc might state that the writer of
the above was a miserable, sneaking,
malicious, contemptible, intentional
liar but it wouldn't half reach the
case. 0 "N"e content ourself with ob

moss-grown and immaculately truth

through the most natural manner,
from absolute exactness in his state

Democrat.
For the sako of humanity and "poor
erring human nature," we regret that
the Editor of the Democrat, who we
hitherto have regarded as a.ffcntleman,
bo far forgets himself, or rather gives
away to his natural inclination, to
such an extent as to require us to pub
licly acknowledge our mistake.
In order that the reader may see to
what an extent of recklessness the re
cent and repeated castigations this
editor has received, has driven him
to, we copy, entire, his scurrillous ar
ticle, and our paragraph to which he
refers.
Mr. Calhoun came to this place
from one of the extreme fire-eating
Southern States, his skirts dripping
with the blood of his countrymen
having served in the rebel army and
presuming upon "the ignorance of the
mudsills of the North," at onco set
himself up as tbeA'beadraad front"

The "mud sills," and even his own
political associates, failing to "sec it"
he has been repeatedly "snubbed,"
nnd feels very sore. Recently he at
tacks a public officer, with results
known to all our citizens. How, be
cause we simply give a narrative of
facts, heevervesces in the style as seen
above.
As to our reference to the libel suit,
and quoted in the above paragraph,
we-have simply to say that the differ
ence between our statement, and the
Democrat's admission is "thqsanie as
between twedledeeand twedledum."
If & man be found guilty, or is requir
ed to give bond, and fails or refuses,
as in this case he stands committed
not, however, necessarily, incarcera
ted. If the Editor of the Democrat
has escaped incarceration thus far, it
is because of the leniency of the Jus
tice and prosecutor, and.isliis good
fortune. '
We learn, from reliable authority,
that parties in the interest of Mr. Joy
will be in mir rdace and along the
line of the Trunk Rail Road, next
Week, with the view of speedy work
on that road.
The committee of ladies having in
charge the Walnut Grovo Cemetery
Association, of this place, have deci
ded to erect a suitable building for the
use of the Sexton. Th6 work will
commence immediately. lot owners,
and especially those who have rela
tives or friends buried in the cemete
ry will be glad to know of this deter
mination on the part oftheladies, and
thank them for the energy they have
exhibited. "Without any onc-to give
care and attention it has. been almost
useless to attempt any improvements,
and especially decoration of lots.
Ruthless hands have marred and de
stroyed nearly every effort. With a
Sexton on the ground it will be differ
ent, and consequently more efforts
will be made to improve the' lots.
The man down street, possessed of
moral grit." denies being a "cow
ard." He need not do that. :Don't
every body know he was a "soldier"
M in the army against his coantry.
"The criminals at large" say they
were required to give bond for their
'appearance at the next tefm of
court,"' which "they refused," and
cft the court room and returned to
heir place of business,"- and then
boil over because we say they stand
mmitted. Sometimes the courts'
fail to commit," because of the ab
Qce of .the convicts He has "return

KESPECTFUXIA INSCRIBED TO MY CHRIS
TIAN FRIENDS.
Nine bttallUful years, an angel,
From the shining courts above, "
Camo down and dwelt in our household
And blest it with, his love.
The shining jeWel was prisoned,
In a casket of rarest mould,
For earth was dark &hn dreary.
And mutJU or suffering told.
It came on a mission of mercy
To us, as we dwelt on earth.
To lead as we sought for blessings,
To joys of heavenly birth.
To woo us-from the earth away,
AVlth its meed of pain and care.
To seek the blessed Jesus,
Aud tor his Joys prepare.
Ah! wc laid the little casket.
On the lilll-slde lone and still; '
Three years it has been mouldering,
At the Master's will.
"While the brightened jewel,
Stripped of all that marS
Took its flight to regions, , . '
Far above the stars. ., . lir.- i,
Yonr mission was not a vain one,
Ye angel so bright;
"Mother" is coming through the gloom
to rest in that home of light.
My little barque Is sailing,
Adown the stream of tiino,
And soon I hope to enter.
That sunbright clime.
The river seems to widenf
Its waters calm and still,
As swiftly, I am passing
To the everlasting hill.
The blcssed.Savior is standing,
At tbo helm to guide
Mv vessel through the breakers.
That Would obstruct the tide.
I almost see the turretai
Of the palace In the skies,
"Where my angel Eddie,
In brightest glory lies,
Crying Holy Father lead her
Safely through the gloom,
To tho many mansions,
"Where there Is room.
I hear the gentle whisperings,
Of tho voice that's low and sweet,
And I hasten through the current,"
My precious boy to greet.
Sometimes my heart grows woavy.
"With the suffering and the pain,
"When I lean on Jesus,
And take courage again.
Savior guide in safety,
The little bark so frail,
And soon I hope to anchor,
Just within the vale:
Cast off the fleshly garments,
That so burden here below,
And don the robe3 of glory,
As white as purest enow.

KING "IVIIitlAM.
The war correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Commercial gives tho follow
ing as to the personal appearance of
King William:
"His majesty reminds mo of Gen.
Burnside. His razor gives his portly
chin that delicate polish, that perfect
cleanliness and soft brilliancy that
the steel imparted to our General's fa
cial foundation. Then he is bald like
Burnside, and wears mustache and
whiskers in the same style. He lacks
however, the upper part of that dome
of bald head that gave our General's
photographs such fine finish. Then
the King is erect and tall, like Burn
side, and gracious too.
He is said to be fully aware of, and
to enjoy especially, his great reputa
tion in England and America, and, as
he speaks English quite well, it is a
pleasure to him to give himself the
exercise. His appearance gives some,
warrant to -the rumor that his health
is bad. His complexion indicates an
unreliable sanitary condition, but the
war will nodoubt carry him through.
AVe saw the King again at Faulqu
ment, takii.g as a point of observa
tion, a bridge for the turnpike over
ihe railroad. It was nearly sundown.
The wagon trains were filling adjoin
ing fields, and the smoke of the bi
vouac fires of half a dozen regiments
of Infantry and some batteries and
Cavalry, was setting In a blue haze
on the little vallies south and west.
The road on which the King was
coming could be seen for two or three
miles, white as a chalk mark, gradu
ally descending toward us, and made
very conspicuous by the usual rows
of tall poplars. The teamsters still
on the road, and filling it as we could
see, turned aside, giving room for the
King's escort and carriages. The
cavalcade came on full tilt; the guards
in steel jackets and flowing plumes
and drawn sabres, staving by, every
man erect, aud staring straight ahead
the horses trotted together as if they
were a monstrous machine worked
by steam power. As the first carriage
whirled by there was a slight :chear,
but not foDthe JKing. Some said it
was for Moltke. PerhapsitJ was, but
all that I could make out plainly was
a very long and slender pair of boots,
miraculously polished. The King
came alonir uresently. bowing easily
in. return for the greeting 'received;
and after him was another tempest of
cavalry, ,and a whirl of the wagons
containing the luggage of his majes
ty, and then the teamsterJs cracked
thir whips and tore into the road,
swearing as teamsters always do, and
got up a diabolical confusion, in the
midst of which officers galloped .and
whirled their horses, yelling likemad
in the ftain effort to out-curse the
termsters."
The American ship "Queen" has
arrived at Toulon with a hundred
American volunteers and seven thou
sand rifles.
(From our Dally of Friday.
SEIGB OF PARIS.
The idea has been expressed that
the Germans cannot surround Earis
and starve it into a surrender without
a force much greater than Is now sup
posed to he advancing on the city.
The New York Tribune BUggests that
it will not be necessary, as many sup
pose, for the Germans to form a ring
around Paris, thus preventing ingress
or egress of individuals. On the con
trary they wJH simply hold the prin
cipal lines of approach and destroy the
railroads running into the city. "With
out this means of supply Paris could
'not hold Out many days, All the
railwayo and rivers of the country, if
ifaey had been usedj exclusively for
ihe transportation of auppJiesVrgi-; the
toirtrrcrlrTraTtr"
sufficient to supply the city with six
month's surplus provisions for her
2,000,000 of population. There is prob
ably not a week's supply of food in
Paris at this time.
As another evidence of the disposi
tion of the "Great Snubbed," to ad
here to truthful statements, we men
tion the charge the Editor makes
that Mr. Fairbrothcr, of Tecumseh,
was n candidate for Sheriff last year.
Everybody in this county knows Mr.
Fairbrother was in nowiso connected
with the convention last year, either
as a candidate or a delegate. The
whole assertion is another, manufac
tured from whole cloth.
As to the slur about a difference be
tween Mr. Fairbrother and the Ed
itor of the Advertiser,, that's amusing
to the parties
The man down street who was
bound over and failed to give bonds,
and consequently stands committed,
talk3 of having "fairly whipped"
somebody. If he ever whipped any
thing, the evidence is yet to be pro-
'duced.
"We are authorized by the State
Board of Agriculture to say to Prof.
Rich that the school under his charge
will be passed into the State Fair any
day he may name.
It is believed that as Strasbourg
cathedral took five hundred years in
building, and was built by Germans,
the bombarders will endeavor not to
destroy it. ' ;

Tesf "as loyal as in us lay." The
extent dS loyalty as thus expressed
and acknowledged, will require close
lookiug after to discover. But as
Congress in the exercise of leniency
has failed to incarcerate, culpritssim-
ply stand committed.

The County Commissioners of Jef
ferson county, have issued the procla
mation authorizing the people of that
county to vote on the proposition to
donate the sum of one hundred thou
sand dollars to aid the construction of
the Brownville, Fort Kearney & Pa
cific Railroad.
Oneof the "Criminals at large.?' is
terrible anxious that the Justice, who
holds him as "committed," shall or
der him into actual confinement !
He has failed to obtain any sympathy
as. the matter stands and is" hunting
up, a new feature. 1

Hon. Marcus Brush, of Ashland,

from that District, died on Tuesday

of Ashland and will be greatly miss
ed in that community.
The entries for the State Fair, made
at home and from abroad within a
few days, indicate! an unparalleled
exhibition at the coming Fair.
It seems they have some "people's
ticket" men among the Democracy
in Otoe county. What's tiie matter
with Bro. Croxton's home district?
The "criminal at large" wants a
habeas corpus. Whilo he "stands
committed" he can't obtain it. Hence
the desire to be incarcerated..' "So' far
as heard from" the Judge is ahead.
Our Democratic" friends call the
Republicans ".office seekers." We
rather think tho Dembbrats are the
fellows who aro seeking ofllcp.
The Democrats of Illinois talk of
running W. F. Coolbaugh against
John A. Logan for Cougressman-at-large.
That wouldn't be a big thing
on Coolbaugh.

The famed Preacher Spurgcon says
of the Frauco- Prussian war.
I wish these Kings of earth would
sometimes do their own fighting, in
stead of getting their soldiers to fight
for them. It would not be a bad idea
if Napoleon and the King 'of Prussia
would come over to juugiana aim ngiic
it out. i imi quite "sure" the police
would wink at the matter, and I
would be willing to hold their coats,
and I would cheer one, and say, "hit
him hard, for I think he deserves it."
As another evidence that the De
mocracy are not in earnest when they
tell us they "accept the situation,"
we quote the following from theDem-
ocratic platform of Tennessee:
"Declares theFifteenth amendment
enforcement law' unconstitutional,
and urges its repeal. It favors the
taxing of Federal .bonds and tho abo
lition of national banks; denounces
the reconstruction lawk and pledges
the Democracy of Tennessee to unite
with those of the north in maintain
ing the rights of the government."
From our DaUy of Saturday.
The Democracy of Otoe county
have Issued a circular charging the
Republican party with erecting and
maintaining a State Government in
Nebraska, at the expense of the peo
ple;living within the boundary lines
thereof, as though that were an un
heard of and grievous crime! It is a
round-about way they have of finding
fault with the people for not voting
tho Democratic ticket, and .for not
electing Democrats to offices of hon
or trust and profit.
We were delighted to meet in our
city yesterday John ;S., Fergus, Esq. ,
of Mianii county; Ohio. Mr. F Is a

That portion of the Democratic par
ty engaged in endeavoring to bolster
up the rotten hulk of their long since
extinguished political organization,
seems to be more concerned for the
welfare of the. Republican party than
anything else just now. Thanks for
kind intentions; but the Republican
party is abundantly able to take care
of itself.

ODD FELLOW'S EXCURSION TO CANADA
In accordance with the arrange
ments made between the Odd Fellows
of London, Ontario, and the brethren
of Cleveland Ohio, we started about
four hundred strong, including wives
and daughters, numbering one hun
dred, at 10 o'clock, p. m., on the good
steamer, Lady Franklin
A fine band of music accompanied
the-excursionists, and we were cheer
ed from the dock by hundreds of re
maining Odd Fellows, whose business
detained ithem at home. '
. The exchange of congratulations, of
the 'Ladies and gentlemen at thpir
windows, and the numerour whistlps
and tugs in the river, led me to inquire
if theyiwereall Odd feljpwsi and was
promptly1 answered ..affirmatively.
The harbor being cleared, wo soon
found ourselves in the midst of the
deep blue waters of Lake Erie, and
the vision gratified by the glimmer' of
lights peering out from an extensive
lake bound city, in the darkness;'
ON tfttE Sl'EAMER.
Having got well under way in the
midst of the surging deep, all appear
ed to be on the qiu vivc to ascertain
how they should pass the night.
Many sdnght refuge in 'the stage
rooms, while many took to cards on
the lower deck, aud many endeavor
ed to find pleasure by:rambling thro'
the' various departments of1 the boat,
taking items and edifying themselves
by observing'th'e different changeable
groups, in lively conversations and
discussions. Soon the order came to
repair to the lower deck, to engage in
exercising their dexterity in tripping
over hatchways, iron capheads, around
posts, against the greasy Walls of the
boatand ali in the midst of the noise
and confusion produced byfthe'crpwd3

voice mingled with the rest, render

dance went mierily on, until it Avas

the musicians becoming very tired.

were compelled to sfay up all nigjit,

pose on the soft side of a board, with
his head contiguous to a band of noisy
brothers at cards, iu the midst of the
mirth an revelry. Rest there, being
impractio ible, he concluded to go on
and by tti 'ns found himself seeking

PORT STANLEY.
Here preparations had been made
at a hotel "for our breakfast, but not
anticipating such a largo number
thero-,wasfjquit'e"' a failure to procure
entertainment for all, and, conse
quently, many scattered off' into dif
ferent portions to obtain something to
at least satisfy tho craving appetites
until they should reach their destina
tion. I must confess that f was hot a lit
tle chagrined, at first glance, at wit
nessing the Brittish ilag thrown to
tho breeze in prominent positions in
honor of our approach, together with
such signs as the British Lion Hotel,
but as we proceeded further themirig-
lirtgoftho. Stars and Stripes with
those of the Bars in close, juxtaposi
tion, together with the friendly greet
ings of the Canadians, those feolings
were soon dispelled.
Here we were met by a committee,
who had come with the large train
provided for our accommodation, and
gave us the hand of recognition, and
welcome to the shores of Ontario as
portions of the same great brother
hood, as those from whence we came,
speaking the same silent language,
and governed by the same laws and
regulations of one common head. .
THE COUNTRY.
Taking my position upon the plat
form of the car for the purpose of mak;
ing closer observations, my attention
was drawn to-the fact that there was
an abundanccofexcellellt timber, but
the soil, compared with that of Ne
braska, was exceedingly poor, and
unproductive ; the surface presenting
considerably tho appearance- of the
white caps produced by the surging
waters of the Lake. Their crops are
undoubtedly -quite limited whencom-
ftred with those of thegreat prairies
of the West, although their apple
crop is very large and the treesare

Plums do well here andareabundaht,
although affected with the curculio,
as with other portions of the country
south of the lakes. They are well sat
isfied ith their government, but are
nqt satisfied with their commercial
relations with the United States.
They object just now to uiiitilig.wlth
our Union in consequence of the
burthens of our enormous taxes.
OUU DESTINATION.
A train of twelve coaches and a lo
comotive, beautifully decorated with
evergreens and flowers, conveyed us
to London, a city of about fifteen
thousaiid inhabitants, where we were
met at the depot by the members of
the several subordinate Lodges and
Grand Officers;- who welcomed iiq
through .their'. Grand Master. .Intro
ductions and' fraternal recognitions'
followed then the two bands exchang
ed congratulations. Our band playe'd
"God Save the Queen," theirs "Hail
Columbia.'.'-.' Again; the Cleveland
band struck up ''RuleBrittaniay"and
were replied to by "Yankee Doodle'
