of business are well represented, but the trade
carried on here Is not up to the demands ol the
country. It contains many line residences, and
some Rood business houses. There are here two line
churches Episcopal and Methodist: cood District

Sherman and Monterey SchoolsClo
sing Exercises.
Editor Advertiser:
The closing exercises of Sherman
and Monterey schools took place on
the 22d ult. at Monterey School house
conducted by Mr. W. K. Loofburrow,
teacher of Monterey School, and Mr.
E. H. Powell, of Sherman.
The exercises consisted of dia
logues, recitation?, charades, tableaux
and songs, some of which were very
well rendered. The majority of the
performers were quite young, and the !
older ones net experienced, in ma
king an appearance in public.
Among the performances most note
worthy, we must mention a Hard
Shell Sermon, by Mr. H. W. Loof
bourrow, the Rum Maniac by TV. K.
Loofbourrow and the Dutchman's
Snake by Mr. E. M. Powell. Some
of the little girls performed their
parts remarkably well.
The order maintained, was not as
good as could bo wished. The room
is small and was packed full, making
it almost impossible to move ono way
or the other, but with the exception
of some insulting remarks made by
some rowdies near the door, with the
intention of disturbing the perform
ers, all passed ofi" pleasantly.
Truly Yours,
Observer.
"Wednesdaj- at thcNormal School.
Editor Advertiser: '
At your request I attended tho clo
sing exercises of the State Normal
School on Wednesday of last week.
I found visitors present from various
parts of the State, and not a few from
Missouri and Illinois. Among the
number, tlie Principal and his assist
ants from the High School of Ne
braska City, and the Professor of the
BrownviUe High School.
The exercises consisted of an exam
ination of the higher classes, prepar
atory to their advance to the studies
of the closing torm of the current
year. We listen to the recitation of
the Chemistry, Geography, Algebra
and German in the fore-noon. The
method pursued was to write as many
topics concerning tho whole work of
the term on slips of paper as were
pupils in (he class, and then permit
each student to draw one of the.-e
slips, and then when called upon, to
rise and tell all he had learned touch
ing his topic. In doing so, tho sub
ject matter was first announced, then
followed in logical order its divisions
and sub-divisions. Each head wa
taken up in its position and fully dis
cussed by the student. When thro'
and seated, then followed tho criti
cisms of the class and tho teacher.
In tho afternoon there were but
two classes. Ono upon the theory
and practice of teaching, and one up
on the methods of instruction. Wo
watched closely, both the teacher and
the student, and from our knowledge
of the past and present of the man
agement and condition of this school
the conclusion is irresistible that real
and permanent progress is being
matlp. The Normal character stands
out more prominently than hereto
fore, and the school is growing in
power and inlluenco in the State.
The discipline the student receives in
a course of study so opens up and un
folds the power of his mind and body
as to make of an indifferent boy or
girl a solid and influential person.
While we may note- boeib irregulari
ties and departures from the theory
of modern instruction, yet the gene
ral tendency and influence of the
school is so positively good, and the
high standard of mental discipline at
tained ly the student is of such In
calculable public benefit, that we
find vastly more to approve and com
mend than to criticise.
The people of Peru appreciate the
influence of this school, and her pub
lic spirited citizens spare no pains in
impressing upon (he minds of all vis
itors tho full importance and great
necessity of having every child in
the Stato educated, built up and
rounded oft", under its management
and instruction. Families who have
children to educate and rear up, will
find Peru a desirable location, both on
account of the Normal School and
the good morals and high social posi
tion of its citizens.
Your correspondent is under many
obligations to the good people of Pe
ru, and especially to Mr. and Mrs.
Barnes and family for their hospitali
ty on that occasion. Observing that
your regular correspondent, Mrs.
Harding, was present during the day,
we have been more general in what
we have had to saj', than we other- j
wise should havo been.

FJKOM IRELAND.
Belfast, Ireland,")
January 17th, 1S72.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
On our way to Belfast we pass
Gracehill, a neat village and Moravi
an settlement. It was founded by
the United Brethren in 176o, and is
now distinguised as affording superi
or facilities for the education of young
ladies.
Ballymena, the town of Monte
is an enterprising town of S00 people.
The brown linen trade, bleaching
and flax spinning is extensively car
ried on along the banks of the Braid.
Randallstown is a thriving manufac-
turing town on the Maine. Bally-
money is also a thriving town of 3000
inhabitants. Antrim, together with
Massareone Castle, the ruins of
Shane's Castle, and Lough Neagh are
worthy of Inspection.
In tho year 493, Aodah, a disciple of
St. Patrick founded a monastery here
which was destroyed by the Danes.
The Steeple is one of tho most perfect
round towers in Ireland. It is oylin
drically built of unhewn stone, and
is Vo feet high, 41) feet in circumfer
ence at tho bae, and the cone form
ing the summit 12 feet in height.
Shane's Castle, situated on the
shores of Lough Neagh, is far famed
for its ruins and demesne as the form
er princely residence of the O'Neills.
It was burned to the ground in 1S1G.
Several turrets and towers are still
standing and fiom their tops a line
view of the interesting scenery amid
which the ruins lie may be obtained.
Lough Nea, is fifteen Irish miles in
length, nine in breadth, with an area
of about 97,175 statute acres. It be
gins in the province of Ulster and is
30 feet above tho level of the sea. It
is celebrated for its petrifactions and
pebbles. In 179G, an ancient canal or
rude stiucture, 23 feet long and -1 feet
broad, hollowed out of an oak trunk.,
was found .immediately under, the
surface near by. A similar relje was
exhumed in 1SG0, and Is now in. the
hands of a Catholic clergyman of
Belfast. The idea of a town being
buried under the waters of the lake,
is very prevalent among the peasant
ry ; and Moore, in his beautiful line3
has immortalized this remarkable be
lief: "On Lough Nengh banks as the fisherman
strays.
When the clear cold eve's declining,
lie sees the round towers of other days
In the waves beneath him shining."
There are several Islands on this
Lough ; but they are deficient in the
bold headlands and picturesque scene
ry, which constitutes the charms of
Lough Erne or the Lakes of Killar
ney. Ham's Island, contains seven
acres, nearly two miles from the
shore and is laid out in walks and
covered with verdure.
We next come to Carrickfergus, a
place of considerable antiquity. At
one time it was the principal fortress
of the English in Ulster. Here King
William at the head of his army lan
ded on the 14th of June, 1G30. A few
miles from this place is the little vil
lage of Ballyearry where are the ru
ins of Templecoran church, a spot
which has been rendered remarkable
by several interesting particulars.
Here in the year 1611, the first
Presbyteriai; Congregation in Ire
land, was established ; in the adjoin
ing cemetery lies the Bev. Edward
Ilryce, its first minister. This too,
was the first living to which the cele
brated Dean Swift was appointed, but

or solitude. Near here Edward Bruce
landed in 1315.
Proceeding toward Belfast, we arc
struck with the fine bold, picturesque
ecenerv on either side of the bay, in
the counties of Down and Antrim.
Belfast Lough averages four miles in J
width and its banks are finely diver-
Rifled by cultivation and numerous
seats and villas as we approach the
city.
Belfast is situated on the river Lo
gan at its mouth into Belast Loturh
a well sheltered, secure, and excel
lent harbor contains upwards of
200,000 people, and next to Dublin, it
is decidedly the finest town in Ire
land as to extent, to which we may
also add literature, while he holds
the fir.-t position in trade and com
merce. It is regarded as tho "Linen
Capital" as being the principal seat
of the linen trade, not only in the
British Isles but in the world. It is
rapidly advancing in importance,
magnitude and wealth. In its vicini
ty are groups of contiguous, or single
villa, such as Windsor, Balmoral,
Kensington. Sydenham, Brandon
Towers, Richmond, Wellington Park,
Circleville, ttc.
The site occupied by the greater
portion of Belfast, is a low alluvial
flat, only a few feet above the' ave
rago high water level, and of this
considerable tracts have been won
from thesca and river by embank
ment and otherwise, and turned for
the most part to profitable account.
The want of elevation detracts from
the appearance of the town as seen
from the bay, from which point it ex
hibits no features of interest beyond
those associated with active and gen
eral industry. The city is clean and
healty, with good drainage; the quan
tity of rain which falls throughout
the year, being greater than in any
place on the 2 astern seaboard of Ire
land, Dundalk excepted. The prin
cipal streets are generally wide,
straight, well paved or macdamized
1 he houses are chieflv constructed of
brick; many of them however are
stuccoed and painted, giving their
fronts the appearance of whitish i
stone. Free-stone, and Scotch sand I
stones are fast coming into requisition
for buildings of superior classs. The
quays and docks are extensive and
convenient. Among its public build
ings aro over sixty places of public
worship, mostly Protestant. In 1704,
one of the earliest editions of the Bi
ble published in Ireland, was printed
in Belfast; and in 1737 the Belfast
Ifcws Letter, the third Irish newspa
per in point of date, was commenced
and is still in existence and flourish
ing. We had an article in the inter
est of emigration to Nebraska, pub
lished in this paper.
The staple manufacture and export
of Belfast is linen, in which a vast
amount of capital is invested. In
this trade it takes the lead of every
other place in the world. In the
immense factories are employed in
the various branches of spinning,
weavir g, sewing, lapping, ornament
ing, &C., over 2000 hands, principally
females. Establishments of great
size, for spinning and power-loom
weaving aro now very numerous in
tho city and its environs. There are
over 15,000 persons employed in these
mills, among whom it ia calculated
that there is annually circulated in
wages upwards of 200,000. In addi
tion, a considerable number are en
gaged in the manufacture of damask
for the production of beautiful fabric-.
A tastefully arranged museum
of linen manufactures, collected at
considerable trouble and cost, is at
tached to an establishment in Dene
gal street, where may be 'een (lax in
all stages, from tho rough straw to
the finest milled, and in all its varie
ties of clime and color; various clasa
es of yarns from 10 lea-line up to 350
leas. Colored threads, plain linen,
followed by the finest lawns, bleach
ed and brown diaper, and exquisitely
worked damask fabrics. Other de
partments of industry aro promoted
by those of the foregoing establish
ments, particularly in iron and brass
founding, machine and boiler making
wood turning, &c:, employing a large
amount of skilled labor. To supply
the consumption of the mills in Ul
ster, from 45,000 to 50,000 tons of for
eign flax are imported every year, be
sides the 'produce of home growth.
The fabrics principally woven, are
shirtings, sheetings, drills, osnaburgs,
&c. The value of linen cloth and
yarns annually exported from Bel
fast exceeds 2,600,000 . Of the form
er, the greater portion "is trans-shipped
to foreign markets from Liver
pool, and consists to'a large extent of
fine bleached linens.

Early Days in Nemaha County.

JiY Vf. A. I'
One of,?the blesinss that the set
tlers in Nebraska have, is the local
newspaper, which gives not only all
the local news, but advertises each lo
cality, so that other emigrants, learn
ing the peculiar advantages of the lo
caHtj, settle there, and in a few
months build up schools, church or
ganizations, and all tho blessings of
civiliz-iti in. There aro .several pa
pers printed now in the interior of
Nebraska, whore, only two years ago,
the Indian and the Buffalo had ex
elusive possession.
In June, IS5G, R. W. Furnas issued
at BrownviUe the first number of the
Nebraska Atlvrtiscr, and, although
, , j. 1
lMere wt.ro other papers printed in
, , , .... ,. ' .... . .7..-..,. .
Nebraska at that time, the Advertiser
is now the oldest paper in the State.
Furnas brought with him, as assi-l-ants,
diet Laugdon and John L. Col
happ, and for a few' weeks occupied a
log building, which was situated in
rear of Uackncv'-j store. In the au-
tslim, 0r -,o Furnas was elected to tho
jj-is!:iiivo Council of the Territory,
..n(j at t5:e se5.s;OI, during the follow-
ing winter was elected Territorial
Printer. This caused his office to
have an extensive business for a cou
ple of years. Tn 1S59 Col. Furnas
started a monthly paper, called the
Nebraska Farmer, which was of great
benqfit to its renders, but I doubt if it
ever paid expenses.
In '57 Seymour Belden started, in
Nemaha City, a weekK' paper, called
the Nemaha Valley Journal, and af
ter a few months removed to this
place with his presa and continued
his paper. After a few weeks he had
tlie temerity to issue a daily paper,
but in a short time hi? papers, both
daily and weekly, collapsed, and
went "where the woodbine twineth."
At the same time that Belden started
the Daily Journal, Chet. Laugdon
and David Goff printed a humorous
daily paper at U) Adrrrfhcr office,
called the Dally Snort. This was lit
erally a 7 by 9 inch paper, and had
only one column to "the page. I do
not know why'it was called the Snort,
unless it was tiiat it was sold at ten
cents a copy, and ten cents was the
nrica of a drink or "snort" of whis
key, and the publishers Invested
the most of their receipts in thatarli- !
ele of merchandize. Tlie snort was
-hort lived, and for several months
the Advertiser was the only paper
printed in the county. j
Sometime in '59 Wah. Fairbrnther j
who now runs the Tecumseh Chief- j
tain -purchased Belden's press and j
materials, and printed a week'Iy paper
at Nemaha City, called the Nebraska
Herald, which was me nrsi paper
printed in the ciunty that was Re
publican in politics ; the Advertiser
being a moderate or Douglas, while
the Journal had been .an extreme or

paper. The Herald was printed over
a year, and then Doc. Holladay nud
John LT. Mann purchased the press
and materials, and printed the Asjrin
wall Courier, which paper also went
up the spout in a few months, leaving
the Adverther without a rival in the
county.
During the summer of '61 Col.
Furnns having received a commission
as Colonel of an Indian regiment,
sold his printing office to Thomas R.
Fisher, who ceased printing the
farmer, and run the Advertiser with
indifferent success for two or three
years, when he associated with him
John L. Colhapp, since which time,
although it has changed owners sev
eral times, it has been increasing in
value.
The exhibition of the schools at this
ptace, during the last week, brings
forcibly to mind the great contrast
between the schools of to-day, and
the first school taught in this city. In
the autumn of '56 a Mr. Tharpe open
ed a school in what is now the back
room of Pascoe's meat market, and
commenced with eight scholars, threo
of whom are now with us, that is,
Frank Johnson, Arthur and George
Furnas, lie only taught readin', 'rit
in' and 'rithmetic. In the autumn of
'57 there was a school house built
where Professor Rich now resides,
and for the next five or six yeara,
school was taught there occasionally,
and at each term there was generally
a new teacher.
The first church organization in
Nemaha county was the Christians or
Campbeiiites, with Rev. Joel Wood
as Pastor- The first house built for
worship was the Presbyterian, on
the corner of Second and Atlantic
streets. The second wa3 the Congre
gational, now Methodist Church, on
College street.
There was an organization known
as the BrownviUe College, which was
organized iu 1S57 or '5S. This Col
lege bid fair at one time to be a per
manent institution. T. W. Tipton
was President, with R. W. Furnas,
R. Brown and D. C. Sanders as trus
tees. There was a corps of Profess
ors, consisting of Jonas Crane, Pro
fessor of Surgery; A. S. Holladay,
Professor of Theory and Practice; J.
Mcpherson, Professor of Materia
Medica; Win. Arnold, Profes-,or of
Anatomy; U. C. Johnson, Profe-sor
of Jurisprudence, and E. D. Allen,
Professor of Chemistry. This insti
tution flourished for a year, and then
disappeared. It is to be hoped that in
n short time the BrownviUe College
will be revived and make a pcrma
nert institution.
There was a!-o a. BrownviUe Libra
ry and Litesary Association, which
flourished for several yeais, and wa3
a valuable source of amusement and
instruction, but it is now a thing of
tiic past.
For several years the Postal affairs
at this place were carried on, on a
small scale, the principal mail being
brought from Rockport, Missouri, on
horseback. One season George Turn
er was the mail carrier, and, as he did
not like to bo bothered with a hor-e,
would shoulder the sack and trudge
over to Rockport and trick eaeh day.
Ono day while trudging along thro'
tlie mud of the Missouri bottom, a
kind hearted farmer who was iiavel
ing the road with a team and wagon,
oflered to give George a ride. Georgo
thanked him lint declined the ride. :ts
he was in a hurry to get home with
the mail.
