In takinc our position as editor of fhid, the oldest paper in the State, -vc yield obedience-to common usage in formally introducing ourselfto the denizens of Brownville, citizens of Nemaha county, and people of Ke hraska, and making known to them the aims which wilt actuate and prin ciples whfch win stimulate us in the prosecution of our profession. I'OLITICAE. Politically the Advertiser will re main unchangel and unehaiunble. It has long been our pride and boast that we were a charter-member of the Republican party, having been in nt the birth of the organization. In IS5G we publihed the Sterling (Ills.) Republican, from the mast-head of which floated the names of Fremont and Dayton, and we have been fight ing Democrats and modern Democra cy ever 'since, a portion of the time under direction and pay of Uncle ". Sam, and Win interim on our own ac count, and now settle in our new lmr- " noss with :is good an appetite for sim ilar conflicts as at any period in "our . experience. In 1832 Gen. Jackson, a true Demo crat, took an oath that "the Federal Union must and shall be preserved!" and threatened to hang Calhoun ffor advocating doctrines, or rather herc Hies,iuimical to the perpetuation of th OJnion. Hud lie kept his .threat as faithfully as he did his oath, the race of Calhouns might have become ex tinct, and the late war against nation al sovereignty would not have been inaugurated. Jiut his leniency em boldened the disciples of the great nullilier to raise their impotent arms against the government, and to spout and fulminate treason with an incar nate, demoniac spirit, without prece dent, and paralleled only by the late . communists. Had the hero of Now Orleans hung Calhoun, treason would thereafter have been held as odious. "But exponents of the arch-traitor still live, without having given evidence of shame as did the traitor Peter when he cried the remorso which Judas exhibited when he hung himself or the sense of consciousness of infamy which Arnold did when he expatria ted himself from the country he en deavored to betray. To the Republican party attaches the honor and glory of carrying the starry banner victorious through its peril, and following the example of our forefathers, who placed Washing ton in the presidential chair as their first national executive, the Repub Jicah patriots, while honoring their great chieftain, honored themselves and the nation, by inducting General Grant into the presidential ofllce so soon after the war as a constitutional vacancy existed. And right hero we are led to remark that Grant's politi cal strategy appears to have had the same effect upon, the Democracy that his military strategy had upon the rebels. Already demoralization has seized upon them, and the apostles of that church are now singing peans to the Union, and ratifying measures which, during incubation and delive ery, they grew hoarse in denouncing. At their late conventions in Ohio and Iowa they startled the nation, and all the people therein, by the peals of Republican thunder they caused to issue from their council chambers. The Democracy are sick ; and as Sa tan, when similarly situated, wanted to become a monk, so they would now become Republican's ; but, as the devil, on recovering, renounced the la:tn, the precedent will operate to the disadvantage of his modern prototypes. We shall deal honestly.but firmly with every question. As we will not shirk responsibility in attacking men and measures we may deem amena ble to censure, or in bestowing praise and commendation-upon such as we consider entitled thereto, we will not expect to meet, in all cases, universal approbation, bat shall so conduct our journal as to deserve general respect and confidence as to honesty of pur pose and inspiration. If we do not receive our deserts from all, we are confident" we will from the unpreju diced, and while maintaining our own self respect receive credit for pu rity anu sincemy.oi motive, aim anu purpose, from those whose approba tion is worthy of possessing. THE PRESS. With our brethren of the prc3 we to preserve amicable and courteous relations. We shall deal with argu ments presented, rather than the character of the persons annunciating them, and unless driven to it by the bad taste of cotempoaries, will not throw disagreuble ink-hellets at any of them, save perhaps in the way of legitimate argument. CONCLUSION. Considering that we have now suf ficiently introduced ourHeIfto"our patrons, we will close this formal in troductory article. Hoping that in tercourse between reader and writet may prove mutually pleasant and profitable that Nebraska may make long and swift strides until sho takes such rank among her sister States as her merits entitle her to that our county may grow in population, wealth and enterprise, until the name "Nemaha" will be indicative of thrift and commercial prosperity, and that lirownvillo may grow to be a large and prosperous city, with the Advertiser as its favored and favor ite organ, wc remain the public's willing servant, William Caffkey. NEWS OF THE "IVEEIC. Ex-Senator Thayer denies the re port that he is a candidate for Gov ernor. In his letter of denial he takes occesion to give the "New De parture" aud its allies a deserved thrust. The woman who prefered an infa mous charge against Penitentiary Warden Fielding, failed to testifv against that gentleman when the tug came, and the charge fell for want of support. The Constitutional Convention ad journed on last Friday until next Tuesday, 11th iust., to enable its mem bers to go home and enjoy the Fourth with their families. There is said to be a little unpleas antness between the Gen. Plensan ton aud Secretary Boutwell, aud that Grant refuses to interpose. Thiers publishes a dispatch in which he suys that "the circumstan ces of France have been altered by the late war." We incline to the same opinion, but ain't "altered" drawing it a little too mild ? Ciipt. Hall, with his crew, has sail ed on his trip in search of the North Pole. If he finds it it is to be hoped he.will not remove it. The Department of .Agriculture continues to receive discouraging re ports as to the cotton crops in the Gulf States. The Golden Aye, Til ton's paper, nominates Horace Greeley for the Presidency, whereupon the Christian Union, Henry Ward Eeecher's paper, advocates there-nomination of Grant. Roweu, the bigamist, has been par doned by President Grant. New York City is agitated by the presence and ravages of the small pox. A COUNTRY RIDE. Last week the writer took a ride aeioss the country dividing "Lincoln from Brown ville. Notwithstanding the extreme drouth of the season, the crops looked as though not suffer ing for nourishment. Corn was high and healthy looking, while the fall wheat was being harvested and producing more than an average yield. Spring wheat was almost uni versally sickly looking, while many fields were entirely consumed by the lugs. When the evidence is so pat ent that winter wheat almost iuvar atly proves a remunerative crop, and spring wheat a non paying one, we wonder at the tenacity with which so many .agriculturists incline toward the cultivation of the latter. Arriving at Tecumseh, the Bfeire town of Johnson County, we register ed at the Sherman House, where un der the care of 4,mine host" Tierncy, we soon felt at home. Here we met old time friends who introduced us to the leading citizens of the town, all of whom we found to be subjects of rail road fever. The sight of th6 Engi neers' little flags, and the rattle of their chains as they moved through" their precincts threw each anu all of them into spasms. But they rather enjoved the fever and refused to be inuoculated. We called m at the ftice of the Chieftain where we found the Fairbrothcrs with sleeves rolled up, each throwing type iuto senten ces and paragraphs for the benefit of their patrons. From Tecumseh wc set out for Sterl ing, 'a new and promising town, locat ted iu Johnson county, about twelve miles Noith-west of the county neat. Some two years since Sterling was unknown to the people of the county, and the ripple of .the Nemaha as it flowed through the site of the town was heard by but a very few. A little over two years since William II. "Mann.joriginally of Watertown, N. Y., but for several years a citizen of Sterling, Illinois, visited Johnson county with the view of finding a lo cation for a Grist aHI!, and seeing the Nemaha at this point, became infat uated with the prospect, and imme diately set to work building a Mill, after which he possessed himself of a considerable area of contiguous prop erty, which he platted and laid out for a town site, christening the same Sterling, after Sterling, Illinois, one of the prettiest and most important manufacturing cities in the Sucker State. The operations of the Mill, under the management of Mr. -Mann, who, as a miller, has few peers and no superiors, soon atli acted customers and nrospectors, ami now two coun try stores, a drug store, and harness shop are in several line residences erected, and a desirable composed of people from Illinois and New York have located there. Next season n town almost rivaling in im portance pretty little Tecumseh, will spring up, the necessary arrange- blacksmith operation, have been population The party which had the patriotism to fight for and sustain the Union whon armed foes menaced it, has statesmanship sufficient to manage its affairs in time3 of peace : and the stage tricks of the demagogues who hunger after the flesh-pots will fail to .deceive the honest eleetors of the United States. Their conventional voice will fail to secure the coveted "birth-right;" aud all the Rcbekah's in the laud cannot clothe a Hoffman, Hendricks. Thurmau, or other demo crat, so as to enable him to obtain from republicans remission for past offenses in the shape of tenure to na tional office. But we do not design going further into the political waters this week; our intent being simply to foreshadow our political views. If we have not been sufficiently explicit, we guaran tee making ourself fully understood by every reader as events prompt us to ventilate our sentiments. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. Every species of internal improve mentscounty or State will find in us an ardent and zealous advocate and supporter, and drafts upon our efforts in that direction will be honored at Fight. Brownville should be connect ed with the commercial world by iron ligaments. Vhensheisso connected, enterprise and capital will flow in upon us manufactories will sprint up the smoke from which will riseup I upon tno air, and float in giant col umns in the heavens above us while our populace will increase and spread like a carpet, up, upon, and over the bluffs which now look down so invi tingly upon us from the north and south, at present clothed with but the dress which nature has so lavishly bequeathed them. Having cast our destiny here, we will work unceasing ly for rail road outlets and inleta, be lieving that it will be for our interest to do so, and what ' will benefit uh will correspondingly iunurc to the advaufcage of every citizen. FOURTH OF JULY. The Fourth of July came and went, pretty much as its predecessors dur ing the past Do years. Its advent here was announced by the tongue of can non, and the rising of the sun was welcomed by the letting off of every available explosive article at hand. . There was no regular programme adopted for the Brownvillans to fol low, consequently each followed the best of his or her inclination. S LOCAL. It will he cur aim., as it is our pur pose, to devote such attention to local interests as will render tho Adverti ser notouly desirable, but indispensa ble to every one having such interests at heart. Of course it will take a little time to acquaint ourself with the jieeds aud wants of our people, but wlieu possessed of the information, we will be fouud prompt iu our field cf operations. ome went to Omaha, others to St. Joseph, etc. The only celebration we know of as coming off in this county was one at Long Bridge, where a numerous assemblage was present and an enjoy able season experienced by all. There the Declaration of Independence was read, and an oration delivered by Capt. J. N. Lucas, of this city. We learn that the Captain's address was tasteful in its preparation' and elo quent in its delivery. After the ora tion followed dancing aud social har mony. As darkness filled our streets the sound and dazzle of fire-cracker, rock et, &c, fell upon the car and vision, and Young America let himself loose in his hilarious element. We noticed some older patriots scarcely less dem onstrative than the younger ones. Some of them looked tired, as though they had contracted to carry larger loads of wet groceries than their capac ity warrauted. As wo retired for the night the heavens wcro ablazo with fire works, and the atmosphere seem ed to be freighted with terrific vocal ism. Wo trust that next year our people will exhibit proper enterprise aud zeal to arrange for a proper and im posing celebration in this city, thus enabling the majority of our citizeus to enjoy the day at home aud to cir culate their money here, where it will return to them, rather than in more remote avenues. ments for such growth having been nearly completed. Johnson county owes much to the euterprise of Mr. M. for the speedy attraction and im portant development of their resourc es, and that gentleman is deserving of the fortune which is now almost within his grasp, needing but the ad vent of the Nemaha Valley R. R. to enable him to clutch and hold it. But wo must hasten to Lincoln. We found this to be a very promising four year old town, giving promise of becoming a very creditable Capital City. The State House, when com pleted according to design, will rank amongst the most imposing in the West, while the University reflects high honor upon the people of the State, as well as on the architect and builder. As we did not arrive at Lin coin until Saturday evening, wo had not the pleasure of seeing the Solons of the State at their work of remodel ing the Constitution, and will reserve publication of other impressions made until after another visit. The editor of the Democrat should provide the Brownville gentleman who writes his Chicago correspond ence; with free passes to the "Garden City," in order thathemightacauaint himself with the localities- thereof. In the last issue said gentleman, iu referring to Wood's Museum.- locates iton Washington street, whereas it is'on Randolph street, between Clark and Dearborn. Referring to Mc Vicker's Theater he says it is nearer the lake than the Museum, whereas the fact is there-has not been such "a theater in Chicago for two months past, the building having been torn down in April last to make room for a new aud larger edifice. Tho Dear born Tneater, of which he speaks has been closed for a mouth past, tho company owning it being on a travel ing tour. The Opera House, which lie characterises as the "home of leg opera," is used moro for religious than other purposes. At two o'clock on last Sabbath morning a heavy rain storm set in from the east, and, so far as we have been able to learn, extended over the entire State. Herethejain descend ed in torrents, penetrating almost ev ery i oof in tho city. At Nebraska City the fire engines were brought in to requisition to pump the water out of cellars. The crops of the Stale are now beyond the reach of ordinary danger. CE3TERAL ITEMS. Editor Advertiser: T send you the following items, gleaned from general reading: The North-Western University has conferred upon Lieut. Gen. Phil. H. Sheridan the degree of LL. D. The American expedition at Kiang Ko have taken five forts from the Co reans, after a. desperate defense, in which 500 Coreans and three Ameri cans were killed, and 4S1 small brass pieces taken. The forts were defend ed by 11,000 men. The immediate cause of this was a treacherous attack on our squadron by the Coreans in pursuance with the policy long enter tained by them, to drive foreigners from their soil and waters. The his tory of the matter runs-thusly : In lSGGan American trading schooner became shipwrecked off the cost of Corea. The crew, takinir to fhoir boats, landed on this peninsula, when they were fell upon by the unhospita ble Coreans and all wounded and many killed, only a few escaping to tell the barbarous tale. Oursquadron recently rescued, from a sinking junk, five Coreans and took them into the harbor nearest the capitol and restor ed, them with great pomp and mag- nimity to their friends, and demand ed an explanation of their inhuman treatment of our men, whereupon the forts opeued upon the squadron for coming into the harbor without leave. The catalogues of our best colleges at this summer's commencement show that several hundred Japanese are being educated in this country and the universal testimony is that they are apt, thoughtful, attentive, well-behaved and eager to learn. The census for 1870, of, the British Isles, shows a population of 22,700,000 for England and Wales, and 5,400,000 for Ireland. J. S. C.

We may not hold these positious our selves but may control the influences which lead to them". The style of the deliverv may be a matter for critizisniS but the ideas although at times a lit tle overdrawn were in the main good. Miss Emma Brooks, of Richardson county, recited without looking at her manuscript, in a very lady-like, con versational style a very well compos ed essay upon "Nature's Glad Ti dings." That truth i3 most prized which gives the greatest expansive force to the mind, Nature presents a variety in the vegetable kingdom, from which volumes of rich thoughts, facts and principle may bo learned. Animal life shows the same beauty of form and structure and. evident de sign where variety and art are strangely diversified. The little cor als of the seas havo been writing countless volumes during the past ages which the Geologists of to day can--read as accurately as though written by themselves in the present. Nature offers us the key to unlock all knowledge and all mystery. Her wonderful labratories will never be exhausted by mem- The thoughts, ideas, and conclusions of this essay were all good and extremely practi cal. Prof. Straight gave to the three graduates diplomas. He also gave to IMiu Ford, W. Stunrt Black, J. P. Al corn Black, Harvey C. Minkle. Fran ces M. Hall, Emilinc Lewis and Em ma Plummcr certificates authorizing The Missouri Republican of the 1st inst., devotes nearly a column to Hon. Willard Warner, Ex-U. S. Senator from Alabama. We extract the fol lowing : "He belongs to that class so nu merous since the war who call them selves "Southern Union men." He did not enter heartily into the secess ion movement, nor did he espouse the side of the North with sufficient enthusiasm to make himself specially obnoxious to his secession neighbors. In short, like the canny Scotchman, he contrived to "serve the Lord in such a manner as not to displease the devil," and so arranged his cards that Federal or Confederate turned the decisive jack, he stood to win. Of course, his lukewarmness in the Southern cause required him to put the heaviest stakes on the final suc cess or tho North : for had tho form er gained the day, he could only have retained his position as a conservative member of the community, respecta ble and respected ; while the victory of the latter ensured him a broader field for tho exercise of a noble ambi tion. No sooner, therefore, was peace declared, than the star of Warner be gan to rise. No one in this section of the country had heard of him before, but every one heard of him and from him immediately after. The candle of his loyalty, previously hidden lin ger tlie Uilckest of blankets, now ui;i;;uu turiu iikc u caicium nunc, lr- Wo heartily concur with the senti ments enuunciated by our correspond ent "Advance," in to-day's Advek tiskk, and respectfully but earnestly submit the same to the consideration of Nemaha county representatives in the Constitutional Convention. If they would fatally stab the interests of Brownvilie, Nemaha county, and the State of Nebraska, let litem vote for "prohibition." If they would in.-, vite toe car of progress, freighted with capital, brains and muscle, to roll in to aud all over Nebraska, let them leave the question of municipal aid to tho people, and not draw the- nro- I posed dark liue of prohibition over ii. J radiating the rebellious darkness of Alabama with its blessed beams, and growing brighter and brighter toward tue periect day." Now, the fact is, Willard Warner was a Union man from the beginning to the close of the rebellion. Ho was not a "Southern Union man," but an Ohio Unionist, aad was Major of the oGtb, Ohio regiment, Col. (afterwards Gen.) Wood's regiment. When the war broke ou, ho was State Senator of Ohio, and lived in Newark, Lick ing county. After the war he located in Alabama, and was elected there from to tho U. S. Senate. Warner has lately been elected col lector of the port of Mobil e, and the Republican, in its effort to hold that gentleman up to the ridicule of the people, has succeeded most admirably in rendering itself ridiculous and ex posing its ignorance of public men. i im Brownville gentlemen, who spent the Four:h at St. Joseph, inform us that on the evening of that day two stores were .burned there, caused by the careless ftirowing of lire-crackers, j GRADUATING EXERCISES OF1 THE PERU STATE IiORZilAL. SOllOOIi. Peku, Ncn., June 2Sth, 1S71. En. Advuutiseu : The gradua ting exercises of the Peru State Nor mal School were held on Wednesday, of last week. Singing by the Nor mal chbir, aud a very appropriatly worded prayer by the Rev. J. T. Baird, of Brownville, were of the? op ening exercises. There were but three graduates, and we first listened to an extremely well reeifed essay from Miss Lydia Bell, of Pawnee county. She held her manuscript in iiev hand but made no use of it. She was just twenty minutes iu the per formance of her part. She has a full and well disciplined voice. Her into nations, inflections and emphasis are faultless. In fact she is well nigh an orator in full dress. Her subject was "Miiris Battlcficlds,"aud a cory step she convinced her hearers that upon this field she was a true warrior, and had subdued the opposing forces "and usurped the citadel of the ideal do minion. That she had digested, ap propriated, systemized and arranged for future use tho great first principles underlyingand intricately permeating eacii contested field of art and science within the presence of tho Normal curriculum. She accounts for nun's superiority over other created objects, from the fact that he has a mind which may bo developed, expanded, broadened and enlarged, without lim it. Man derives his knowledge, not only through the senses but by every faculty. He reasons, memorizes, re flects, and draws his owu conclusions from the premises which are estab lished as facts, and then quite uner ringly arrives at other facts upon which he speculates and theorizes un til other fields of thought equally grand are fought and won as any sub dued before. Man's mental, moral, and physical nature should be thor oughly and harmoniously developed. In natural relations thcie is no con flict. Man formed iu the imageofhis Creator is led to do wrong more than otherwise, from the fact of the inor dinate development of one power or faculty of his nature, and being over another. Every wroug done or sin committed by so much he has lost the capacity of reaching that fu ture happiness and enjoyment for which his soul was at first created, had ho done al ways right Our respon sibility is increased by the success of those who have gone nefore and left behind their experience to make our onward march less difficult. Our help is ample, and when wo avail our selves of its aid it will imtel us on ward and upward. MimU should mas ter itself and all the forces the creator intended it to use. Tho sentiment was good, and the essay gave evidence of much thought an J mental culture. An oration by D. T.

Cnuncii. CONSTITUTION AI CONVENTION .MUNICH A I. All. Editor Advertiser: There are many matters now under consideration by the Constitutional Convention in ses sion at Lincoln, about which the peo ple, and particularly the press of the State, should express themselves to the end that delegates may be the bet ter enabled to comply with the wish es of their constituents. Perhaps there is nothing of more importance to the whole State than that municip al aid to works of internal improve ment. The Convention is clo&elv di vided on tiie question of total and en tire prohibition. While the people of this young anil yet to be developed State, are anxious that all possible protective restrictions bo thrown around matters of this kind, 1 am sure they are not prepared to endorse a policy of entile prohibition. We are just entering upon a course of Rail Road improvements aud devel opment, without which migration ceases; and worse, we loose the great er and better portion of our present population. This class of works of improvement are only constructed in this age, by means first, of liberal aid on the part of localities directly in terested. The people are the sov erign powerjunder our system of gov ernment, and should at all times be permitted to express themselves. It is argued that A. has no legal right to impose a tax on U. against his will. As well might it be said that C. has no right to interfere in case A. mur ders B. or destroys his property. Our system of government is called Deui-ocratic-'a form of government iu which the supreme power is lodged in the bauds of the people collective ly" majorities govern, and "the greatest good to the greatest number" are American axioms. There are fra ternity interests which cau only be se cured and maintained by the exer cise of such principles. I repeat, while all possible healthy limits, restrictions aud guards should be thrown around municipal action in directions herein referred to, pro hibition means destruction to the fu ture of Nebraska. Such a clause iu the Constitution will jeopardize, if not defeat adoption. Delegates must not allow "old fogy," "abstract ideas" to control them. This is a progres sive, uevelopiug age, and the people will move. Advance. -small and unimportant as we suppos ed It to be. It contains an areaoi &, 000 square miles. She has forty-eight millions of acres, while your own State, of which you are, and the Un ion is so deservedly proud, has but thirty-five millions of acres. Thirty five per cent, of Illinois laud is under cultivation, while of Nebraska's forty eight millions of acres but three fourths of one per ceut, is under cul tivation. Illinois, from 1SG0 to 1S70, increased forty-seven per cent, iu her popula tion, and Nebraska thrco hundred and eight per cent. Notwithstand ing this unexampled increase, but three-fouiths of one per cent, of Ne braska soil has felt titillations which the plow produces in such territory. But speaking of "home," and just picking up a paper containing the ac count of Mile. Nilison's singing "Home Sweet Home," before the Ca dets at West Point tho other day, brings to memory the startling fact that J. Howard Payne, the author of those beautiful, ever living, never dyiug lines, had no home. Parties are very apt to refer to the past as an age in which merit met with due re ward, but Payne's case covers the idea with incontrovertible denial. He was brim-full of talent, and no sooner would ho get a consulate or other gov ern mental position and get settled down to his work, than he would bo recalled. In one of his letters he tells of oftentimes hearing sweet voic es floating from out of richly furnish- f ed houses in London, Paris, and oth er European cities, giving utterance to his song "Home, Sweet Home" while the poor author had not a shill ing to purchase a mtfal or a place upon which to lay his head. In his old age he received a consulate to Tu nis, and thither he went. There, too, the bewitching strains of his song fell upon his ears, with any but pleasani emotions, and at Tunis Payuo died of a broken heart. His remains should have been brought "Home," but we believe they never were. To have a home, one's "own vine and fig tree" is a natural ambition. lut how few who aspiro so devoutly therefor have their hopes realized? One creat trouble is the timidity of tho masses to stike out into new coun tries, and inclination to jostle in the avenues of the larger cities. See for instance, in your own Chicago. How many men of small means are there in the metropolis of Suckerdom that are paying heavy rents, who could strike out into Lake, Hyde Park, Cic ero, or the numberless other suburban towns, where they could purchase building lots at low rates and on long time, and soon enable themselves to rear residences from which no combi nation of untoward circumstances could eject them? The first of May would be shorn of its terrors were a portion to do as indicated, aud the balance strike out ami turn upthc virgin sod of the western states. It is tho "hard fisted farmer and greasy mechanic," to whom our coun try is Indebted for its increase. In 1790 the census of the United States showed a population of 3,920,827. By the census of last yca.T, it appears that the population of the United States is now 35,10,000, or about ten times what it was SO year3 ago. Tlie popu lation of Kew York State alone, which is 4,370,000, exceeds that of the entiro Union in 1790, and Illiuois with its 2,5-10,000 stands but a little over a million behind the original thirteen suites in iyu. ji we go on at the same rate of increase for the next eighty years that wehaveshown ince 1790, we shall become the most populous nation on this globe except ing China. But tho new states must be filled up. Farmers anil mechanics are wanted to open them. Capital' always follows labor. A large stretch of country dividing the Missouri Riv er from the Pacific Coast invites the millions, a region sulllcient to ac commodate with homes all the peo ples of Europe. But the weather is so warm that we cannot write more, aud the extreme heat will probably account for the in coherence of what we have written. With shirt sticking to one's person with disgusting tenacity and the seat of a gentleman's pantaloons describ ing the operations of a sprinkling wagon, writing is anything but a la bor of love. So for the meantime we will put aside our pen on .s:ih-eribiug ourself the Sun's true friend. C. Ksusscrar To take JElIcetTncsdaJi J"nlr -l 1S71. STATIONS riattsnionth Orualia Junction..
