Increased Facilities.
We are pleased to inform our friends
that we are in receipt of a new and
large power press, through the work
ings of which we will be enabled to
turn out work more expeditiously
than formerly, and' correspondingly
cheaper. It is of Gordon's latest im
proved and largest pattern.
We are also provided with a new
Mailing Machine. The purchase of
this machine wns imposed by the im
mense labor and consumption of time
incident to the mailing of our large
and constantly increasing editions.
Hereafter our subscribers names will
be found printed upon the margin of
their papers, each slip indicating the
time to which each have paid, f-o
that each issue received will be a re
minder to delinquents, or receipt to'
such as have paid up arrears or in ad
vance.
Ve have also ordered a large
amount of new type which we will
receive in a week or two, after which
we will be as well prepared to do
work as any office west of St. Louis.
These additions ha'e been made be
cause of the increased patronage and
demand upon the resources of our of
fice, and we doubt not that the heavy
expense we have been thus put to
will be made good by the support of
the business public, as it will enable
us, not alone to challenge local, but
foreign competition.

Correction Thu McClalu Girl.
Rufu.-'Leach, proprietor of the Star
Hotel, considers that we did him in
justice in our article relative to the
! McClain girl as published last week,
and desires us to make the correction.
1 1st; he says it was not 'past midnight,'
but was past 4 o'clock, a. m. when the
girl was removed from his sample
room. 2d, that it was not 'drizzling,'
when she was carried out. 3d, that
he offered the hospitalities of his
house to the unfortunate girl of his
own volition, and ordered her remov
ed on the same motion and not from
outside pressure, -itk. that he built a
fire in the stove of the Gem Saloon
with wood from his own wood-pile,
and that the room was warm when
she was conveyed thereto.
We did not design doing Rufe any
injustice and think that our original
account placed him in a better light
than does his amendment. The fact
is, the atmosphere of a saloon is not
considered very healthy for a vigor
ous man while to throw an unfortu
nate and supposed to be dying woman
upon a pallet on the floor of a room
surrounded by bar.bottlcs and glasses,
was. to our senses, repugnant. It mat
tered not what the ckaracter of the
girl was .sue was a woman, and when
death hovers over the head of a hu
man being it is no time to inquire as
to antecedents. Of course Rufe
Leach should not shoulder the re
sponsibility of nursing all such, and
we only complain that inasmuch as
he did receive her, he should have or
dered her removal before daj'-light
had filled the streets and a reasonable
time had been given the authorities
to provide for her care, which provis
ion was made before noon on Tues
day thanks to Commissioner Min
nick. But some of his guests made
a terrible fnss over the advent of the
stabbed girl, as though her presence
would breed contagion. Rufe should
have told them that prostitution was
not catching, and not allowed his
sympathies for the frail but helpless
girl, to cool through the unfeeling
am unchristian interuention of those
who did not feel the assassins knife,
nor the promptings of common hu
manity for her who lay a double vic
tim to man's perfidy.

A CHAPTER OS MARRIAGE.
Marriage is as curious as it is an
ancient custom. Men and women
prick the bubble of single blessed
ness with as little compunction of
conscience as they eat their mush.
Girls take to themselves bundles of
ribs, and vow to stick .to them until
death ; to honor, love and obey, and
to bring up their children in the way
they should go, nor do they as they
launch themselves upon the great
channel, experience emotions of fear
or hesitancy crasvl over them. Men,
tooplace their necks in thesilken noose
as recklessly as though inflicted with
the idea that sooner or later they
ss-ould bo obiged to succumb, and pre
pared to meet the issne svliile pos
sessed of strength tp endure it.
But how simple a newly married
couple looks. Hosr they dodge their
old friends and associates for the time
and what absurd answers they give to
questions propounded them. We
know of a young man who became so
accustomed to having his hand
squeezed and the everlasting saluta
tion "svish you much joy' poured in
to his ear, that for weeks after his
marriage, when his friends shook
hands with him at the depot or else
svhere, and bid him "good-by," he
would involuntarily reply "thank
you."
We notice, too, that in this commu
nity grooms are so afl'ected by their
"jump" that they forget to enclose
fees with their notices. Editors are
apt to measure the value of a wife by
the fee sent with the marriage notice.
$1 is considered an improvement on
none at all. $3 a good one, and $0,11
treasure, svhereas one unaccompanied
with a greenback enclosure indicates
that the woman has been taken as a
matter of speculation, the value of
which is unknown and undetermin
ed. Grooms elect will please take no
tice. In this connection we feel disposed
to present a section of law in the
premises, which may serve as a guide
to expectant and anxious parties,
showing the steps necessary to be ta
ken after the question is popped, the
maiden or widow's favorable answer
gi-en and the consent of the parents
(though the latter is not always es
sential) acquired:
"When application shall he made
for a license, the Probate Judge shall,
by the testimony of some competent
svitncss or of the applicant, ascertain
the christian and surname of the par
ties, their respective places of resi
dence, that they are of sufficient age
to be capable in law ot contracting
marriage, and svhether there be any
legal impediment to the parties en
tering into the marriage contract, and
he shall enter the facts so ascertained,
and the date of the license, in n book
to be kept by him for that purpose,"
be and the same is hereby amended
so as to read as folloss's:"
As amended:
"When application shall be made
for a license to the Probate Judge, lie
shall upon the granting of such li
cense state therein the christian and
surnames of the fathers of both par
ties, the christian and maiden names
of the mothers of both parties, the
christian and surnames of the parties,
the residence of both parties, their
places of birth, their respective ages,
their color, which license shall, prior
to the issuing thereof, bo entered of
record in the office of the Probate
Judge, in a suitable'book to be provi
ded for the purpose."
Though this is leap year we do not
see by the Probate Judge's record
that any more business has been done
in the marital way than last year,
considering the increase in popula
tion. We are indebted to Judge Me
Comas for the following abstract from
his record :
Marriage licenses issued during the
months of December, 1S70, and Janu
ary ami February 1S71, there ".were '2'i
souls made happy or 13 couples privi
leged to unite fates and consolidate
names.
During the same months in T7l and
72, there were 4S authorized to reduce
themselves to 24.
The Judge also informs us that the
last license issued svas during the
pendency of a case in his court, u case
grosving out of a crime committed
out of wedlock. The parties and
clergymen svere in waiting and he
was obliged to announce a recess of
Wvo minutes in order to appease the
anxiety of the loving and persistent
couple.

Dress does not make the mrfn', but
that man looks the better for being
well dressed, cannot be disputed, and
the citizen of Brownville who goes
shabbily attired has no excuse for his
dereliction of duty, inasmuch as Het
zel svill dre.-s him up from top to toe,
so that he will look the very gentle
man, for an infinitesimal small sum
of money. If you don't believe it
call on him and price his goods.
It is always cheaper in the end to
pay a respectable price, for a good ar
ticle, no matter of what character,
than to pay;a losv price for an inferior
one. This is especially true of gen
tlemen's garments. Those who pat
ronize Bennett & Dolen are sure .of
securing a good garment and at pri
ces but a shoe higher than is charg
ed for shoddy. Try them.
If you are thinking of purchasing
a sewing machine, do not fail to see
the llosve. Hearken not to others,
but examine for yourself. The llosve
Sewing Machine stands pre-eminent
above all others, aud sve ask our read
ers to give it a careful examination.
To get the best is always important.

On last Saturday the welcome in

Porter and his many friends that that
gentleman's name had been present

Senate as a candidate forjudge of Ar

been ratified by the Senate. This is
a position friend Porter
"Ions has youijlit.
And mourned because he found it not."
The appointment is a desirable and
highly honorable one. Arizona is
one of the most promising Territories
of our gos-ernment. It is bounded on
the west by losver California, on the
north by Utah, on the east by New
Mexico, and on the south by Old
Mexico. Mr. Porter is as yet uncer
tain svhether his objective point will
be Tuxcon or Pre3Cott. As many
have inquired what Judge Porter's
duties will be, &c., we give svhat our
impressions are. In Territorial courts
there are three Judges, one Supreme
Judge and two Associates. Each
Judge has his District as do our Judg
es under our system In this State, and
all sit together In Supreme Court.

The Democrat on education.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser:
T was somewhat surprised and not
much either, on reading the article in
the last Democrat, making an attack
upon the pride of our young city, and
its public school. I say I s-as not
much surprised at this, coming from
the source it did. If history is truth
ful, universal education was noi pop
ular svhere he came from. The idea
of educating the masses the child of
the humblest of the land, equal to the
most wealthy and prominent, svas not
the system under which this regula
tor of educational affairs was brought
up. The idea of setting back, instead
rather than putting forss-ard our edu
cational interests, is, therefore, not
strange, nor to wondered at from the
pen of this individual.
Thje facts are, if he would learn
them, our school accommodations' to
day are not in keeping with the de
mands, or necessities of the case. Our
rooms are over-crosvded aud more
teachers are really needed. As to the
idea of reducing salaries of teachers,
that is simply another short sighted
view to take of so important a matter.
Some cheap teachers might be had,
but experience has unis-ersally taught
that ehcaj) school teachers, as a rule
are svorse than none. None but the
very best qualified should be permit
ted to teach our youth to give first
and most lasting impressions. "As
the twig is bent, the tree is inclined,"
and, therefore, too much care and at
tention cannot be given this particu

the best school in the State, osving

them living wages, or salaries. Let

On last Monday morning 'Squire
Rogers's Court svas densely crowded
to learn the issue of a case of assault
and battery pending therein. The
principals to the trial were old citi
zens. One bad go-ne to the residence
of the other to collect a little bill du
ring the absence of the husband.
Nosv, at best the domestic relations of
the party to svhose house the visit
svas made, are not happy, and as the
husband sasv the merchant going to
his house the "green-eyed monster"
took possession of him, knowing that
the merchant aforesaid svas not 11 de
scendant of Joseph, but rather of Da
vid, svhose deeds with Uriah's wife
are recoided. He accordingly rushed
frantically to his domicil and inquir
ed the object of the incursion. He
svas coolly informed that it ssas none
of his business. Husband then or
dered him to leave, when- he was told
that he would lea-e when he got rea
dy, whereupon the husband punched
him in the eye and then siezed a
chair, but the merchant concluded he
svas ready to leave and did so precipi
tately. The aid of the Marshal ss-as
ins'oked and Judge Rogers mulcted
the assailant $10 and costs, making a
sum total of $13,75.

There was a rumor current on our

had listeria.

Tiu-e Economy. The country is at

example, pianos of s-arious makers
are oflered at about one-half the price
of thoe of really first cla-s maufac

more deserving of the encomium "re

STMPTOMS OF CATARRH.
Indisposition to exercise, difii'cults
of thinking or reasoning, or concen
trating the mind upon any subject,
lassitude, lack of ambition of energ3

There has-e been some indications
of spring hereabouts. During the
past sveek the ice bridge acro.-s "Old
Mudds-" has entirely broken up, and
the Peru ferry has resumed its usual
business. Thanks to the energy aud
perseverance of M. H. Thompson the
transfer man, the mail from Watson
has made its regular trip?.
Several of our business men have
made atrip to i-ails City the past
sveek. They went thereat the ear
nest solicitation of the Deputy I. S.
Marshal. They svere none of them
sentenced to be hung, that s-e have
heard of.

M. II. Thompson our enterpri

The contractors for erecting our
new district school house have got

Last week we gave you a summary
account of our town, sve nosv propose
to speak in detail of men and affairs.
Edward Weisenreeder & Co, are do-inga-general
business in merchandise,
consisting of clothing and dry goods,
hats, ctvps, boots and shoes, queens-ss-are,
drugs, patent medicines, aud
king alcohol, complete.
John S. Mlnrrick, whom we think
is an adept in the business, has a well
selected stock of-tho necessaries of
life, and keeps a 'strictly temperance
establishment, where temperance
men need not sacrifice a dollar's
ss-orth of conscience to buy fif.y cents
svorth of cofl'ee or a dollar's svortlr of.
tea. This is rather commendable;,
svhen sve consider that there is about
as much spirituous made and consum
ed in the world as would supply tho
Missouri river Annually..
Our blacksmiths are as good as any
tosvn can boast. We'll pit old George
Mathewson against the world on fine
work ; B. F. Ilasnessat horse skoeing
and John Hansberry on plows.
Our Wagon Shops are prep'arcd to
do any and all kinds of svork, from a
wagon up to the finest kind of cabinet
svork..
Long Tom Wentworth keeps our
hotel, and knoss-s exactly hosv to run
that sort of 'machine.' Thomas is
always in a good' humor, ami as .glad
to see a guest as though he'd found a
dollar; and, 1)3- the wa3, he's prett3
sure of getting it. Mrs. Wentworth
is trul3 the right woman in the right
place.
Dr. Forbes, our physician, Is a
young man, studious and energetic,,
and -er3 successful. He is always
ready, night or day, to answer a-call".
It will be remembered that he fn
company svith Dr. Matthews of
Brosvnville, stood at the back window
while Dr, Page of St. Deroin, per
formed tho wonderful feat of amputa
ting au arm.
We had a concert at our new school"
house, one night last sveek, that prov
ed a deeided success. I am at a loss
to know hosv the3' obtained the con
sent of the directors. Fears ace en
tertained that they will alios.- it to ho
disgraced svith preaching next.
Ileim- Hart, our general Timber
Agent, is ready at alt times to fill or-'
ders for anything in his line.
Business is still good. I saw Mr.
Weisenreede loading a wagon with
some Welch men, svho- had used too
freely of his best drinks, while John
S. Minnick svas busy waiting on those
of better judgment.
I learn that Mr. Minnick is going
east in about two sveeks, to la3 in- n
large stock of goods for the spring
and summer Srade.
The ice is nosv leaving the river and
the frost leaving the ground. Hurrah
for the steamboats and the trunk rail
road. The health of our village, we aro
glad to re-port is good.
Our population has been increased
this year by the arrival of a brace of
youngsters one a carpenter, the oth
er a blacksmith.
Deaths, one an infant daughter of
Charles F03 and wife-. They have
our sympathy.
