GEN. STRICKLAND,
Of Omaha will deliver an address
before the Republican Club, at Mc
rherson's Hall, on next Monday
evening at S o'clock.
A general invitation is extended to
everybody especially the ladies.
"Oh, that this too solid flesh would
melt," was uttered by one who wish
ed to sit dowa in his bones. The
other chap who wished the marrow
extracted from his bones so that a
draft could sport aud play through
them, was, perhaps, a trifle extrava
gant, but a liberal allowance should
be made therefore if the thermometer
boiled up to "blood-heat." Our flesh
being none too solid, we do not wish
it to melt, and having no more mar
row in our buiies than we have use
for, we do not wish it extracted, but
I we heartily sympathise with thatoth-
er ancient individual who sighed for
"A lodo In some vast wilderness.
Some boundless contiguity of bhauc."
We envy the birds of the air who
can annihilate space and fly to cool
regions above ; and the fishes of the
deep, which, regardless of local law,
can plunge into streams which flow
within corporate limits, though the
eye of every maiden and strict con
structionist in the land were fixed up
on them. But, being neither fowl
nor fish, we must take weather as it
comes, and plod on in the ceaseless,
never varying routine of our profess
ion. B.ut the weather is hot. Paper
collars wilt and lose their semblance
before the sun reaches the meredian,
while the inner garments of man
kind stick and adhere to the person
as though applied with mucilage. Old
Sol moves in the heavens like a very
globs of fire, and pours his rays down
upon us with such power as to pene
trate the deepest recesses of shade and
retreat. At night the mosquetoes
take their "watch," but their eilbrts
to sing their subjects to sleep are usu
ally painfully abortive.
Improvements.
Notwithstanding the prevailing cry
of "hard times" there are more build
ings going up in Brownvllle this year
than in any two years during the last
decade.
H. M. Atkinson, Esq. has jusfecom
pleted a beautiful residence on the
summit of the hill on South side of
the city ond bounded on the east by
Fourth Street;. It is of brick, two sto
ry's in height and 32x3S in size. Its
interior finish is elaborate and situa
tion imposing. It cost him about
$G,0CQ.
W. H. Hoover, Esq. has the walls
up of a very pretty gothic brick story
and a half cottage, situsted on Sixth
Street, between Atlantic and Nema
ha Streets, in the neatest grove in our
city.
We have before spoken of J. M.
Graham's new buildinjr, which is al
so of brick, corner of Atlantic and
Sixth Streets. The Mansard roof is
now on, and the edifice presents a
pleasing fiarance.
L. Lowman's new brick residence
is nearly ready for occupancy. It is a
large roomy house, well built, and
when furnished will compare favora-.

JSItyV- v
Dr. Blnke'o flew brick residence and
office is also rapidly approaching com
pletion, which will add much to the
beauty of Main Street.
The; Public School Houso is being
reshingled. Joe Hamilton has the

On last Saturday J. L. Roy bought
out the mammoth stock of furniture
and cabinet ware belonging to E. S.
Wibley, which he has merged with
his own, rendering his present stock
equal in size :tui variety to that of
the largest establishment in the State.
There is nothing in his line which
cannot now be found at Roy's, and he
challenges comparison of prices with
those of any dealer in the west. Be
ing so generously provided for with
goods, he will now experience pleas
ure in dispo-ing of them to such as
are in want of furniture or cabinet
ware of any kind.

Factfe to Ponder Upon Tins Dc.
niaiids of tlie Hour, - ill
-we Move or Stand Still I
Mr. Editor. I desire to call the
earnest attention of the people of
Brownville and Nemaha County, to
some important facts most intimately
connected with both our immediate
interests and future progress and wel
fare. And these facts are generally ap
plicable to every river county and
town in the State.
For one or two years past, there
has been a tendency of nineteen
twentieths of emigration to " go
west" into and beyond the second.
and ovRii third and fourth tiers of
counties in the interior, until to-day,
in all statistical matters, tho river
counties and towns are quoted " in
statu quo," or " very slightly on the
increase," while tho interior is
" brisk," and " increasing rapidly."
These are facts which no observing
person will attempt to deny. There
are reasons why this state of aflairs ex
ists, but none why itsoi(W,oratleast
why it should continue. Some of the
reasons, or rather causes, why such a
condition of things has been brought
about, aud still exists, are that the
lands and lots have all been taken up
too largely and held for speculation.;
we have thrown ourselves back on
"our natural advantages," and ceased
making effort to secure population
aud capital, until the tide has gone on
past, and tbe enterprise and life once
surrounding us has taken up quarters
along a line two hundred miles west.
This, it mav be said, is the natural
i
course of events to an extent. True ;
and yet sagacious business should
" look to its own," aud secure a share
of all that comes and goes.
There are many existing advantages
in the river towns and counties, to be
held out to those looking for homes in
the West, aud of which, if they were
made acquainted, thousands would
stop with us who da not now look at
us. The lands are much better, and
really are selling for less prices than
those in the interior anywhere near
the lines of contemplated or running
rail-roads. Lauds that can be bought
in Nemaha, or any of the river coun
tises, to-day, at no greater distauce
from the Mbsouii river than from 5
to 15 miles, for from five to ten dol
lars per acre, holders in the interior
are asking and receiving from fifteen
to twenty-five dollars per acre. There
are other ad vantages to be obtained in
these river counties not to be had else
where moneyjeauuot purchase onty
time can bring them about. Society,
edu cational and religious privileges,
roads, fruits, markets, satisfactorily de
monstrated experiments with soil and
climate as to products, aud more that
might be enumerated, are not to be
bought with a price. Only time, pa
tience and perseverance bring them
to our doors. These we can oflerland
they would bo embraced.
For instance, take our own county
and it is behind no other here, not
an acre in fifty under cultivation j not
an aero in twenty owned by those who
will improve. Years ago wo all tho't
we had gone by the time when it was
necessary, or we could aflbrd to give
"bonuses" for the establishment of
manufactories in our midst. Tho re
sult has been, they havo gone else
where. Tho writer could name a do
zen such cases as to our own town,
within tho past fourth of a decade:
some are now being tendered us.
Well, say you, this we know : what
is to be done to iemedj the difficulty
and meet the emergency? Return to
first principles. Go back to where we
left off five or six years ago and com
mence anew. Make efforts. Talk a
bout your town and county. Write
to your friends. Tell them of our ad
vantagesour acquired now as well
as natural . Hold out inducements.
Show "people around who come in
your midst. Don't look upen a new
comer as though you thought he
" needed watching." Those of you
who aro residents and own real estate
farming lands or town lots sell at
prices in keeping with the times.
Sellou time longtime with require
ments for improvements. Demand
that the non-resident shall do the
same. Form imigration organ iza
tions. Send out runners. Adver
tise. Send circulars with description
and price of lands and lots, all over
the East, and into the " old country."
In ino-t of our thriving, prosperous
go-ahead towns aud counties in tho
West, there are now home organiza
tions, a leading duty of members is
to show attention to strangers show
them the town and the country. Why
not Brownville and Nemaha County
do likewise? If some one, or firm
desires to locate a manufacturing es
tablishment among us, render mate
rial aid, in either lauds or bonds, or
both.
An Old Settler.
Saw Mill onSonorn Iblnml.
Messrs. Dunham & Zook havo their
new mill on Sonora Island in full
blast sawing ties for the B. Ft. K. &
P. R, R. They also propose to saw
lumber for all persons, either on
shares or for cash. Mr. Zook has long
been connected with tho mill in this
city, and we feel confident can give
satisfaction to all who may favor
them with their patronage.
The "Mud Hen" "bust her boiler"
on last Thursday at Bellevcu. No
body seriously hurt. She was loaded
with oats consigned to a firm in Oma
ha by Worthing & Handley of this
city. The loss of the oats falls on the
par to whom they were consigned.
The "Mud Hen" is a total wreck.
We invite the careful and attentive
reading of the communication of "an
old settler" in to-day's paper. In
keeping with the ideas advanced, we
suggest the the propriety of town and
county meetings, by which a public
interest will be awakened, and a new
spirit infused into the people.

An earnest invitation i3 extended
to the friends of Christ everywhere,
of all denominations to bo present
with us on this occasion. Especially
to the membership of our own church
wo appeal to sustain this our first at
tempt at holding a State Camp Meet-

tendance be as general as possible.
Every effort has been put forth by the
committee to make this meeting a
grand success, and nothing now re
mains to secure ihis desired result,
save a general attendance of tho peo
plo and the blessing of God. We
urge churches and pastors to pray for
the outpouringof the spirit upon the
occasion, and to come up to our
"Feast of Tabernacles" in tho confi
dent expectation of a glorious victory
in the name of the Lord of Hosts. ,

The Trustees of the Louisville Med
ical College, (Louisville, Xvy.) have
created one of the most liberal bene
factions ever conferred b3' a public
Institution. They have instituted
one Beneficiary Scholarship for each
Congressional District in all of the
States. By this means very many
poor but deserving young men will be
enabled to obtain a thorough medical
education. Any one wishing to take
advantage of this Benefaction should
write to Dr. E. S. Gaillard, Deau of
the Faculty of the Louisville Medical
College, Louisville, Ivy., when he
will receive a eojtego catalogue with
full information in regard to all that
is necessary for him to do to securo
one of theso Scholarships. Willi
proper delicacy the mames of those
who have secured the Beneficiary
Scholarships will be known only to
the Dean of tho Faculty.
Iln accordance with the old Ilippo
oraticonth, forbidding physicians to
charge the families of each other for
services rendered, the Faculty of this
College will make no charge for
teaching sons of physicians, and as uo
physician charges a clergyman's fam
ily, the sons of clergymeu will re
ceive the same privilege. The noxt
College session begins October 1st., '72
As the lecture fees charged for each
student who has not obtained a Bene
ficiary Scholarship, amount to $120,
annually, the public can appreciate
tho extent of this benefacton.
The annual State Convention of the
Christian Churches in Nebraska will

in want of a first class machine.
-We see our city authorities are
making arrangements to put in a
bridge on Main street. It seems that
the proper way would be to let the
contract for doing such jobs as that to
the lowest responsible bidder, after
giving all a chance to bid for the job,
and then the peoplo would know how
their money was spent.
The District; School Exhibition
come oft" last Friday night, as per pro
gramme. The night was extremoly
warm, and showed the bad arrange
ment for ventilating our new school
building. The rooms were packed
full, and it seemed almost impossible
to keep order. Some portions of the
exorcises were very commendable,
but the greater portion would have
been much more appropriate for a
Sabbath School Exhibition than for
tho closing exercises of one of our
largest free schools. This was, how
ever, no fault of the pupils, but show
ed much bad taste on the part of tho
managers. Woul$ it not be well to
leave religious exercises to the Sab
bath Schools, and not encumber our
free school system with religious dog
mas? Departed this Itfe July 23d, 1S72,
after an illness of only a few hours,
Milton S. Peery, aged forty years.
Mr. Peery was born in Leonard coun
ty, Kentucky ; moved to Missouri
with his father in 1S42, where ho re
mained until 1S59, when he removed
with his family to Peru, Nebraska,
and was for some time engaged in the
mercautilo business; afterwards wont
to farming, and has followed that oc
cupation until his sudden change on
the 23d iiist. He leaves a wife and
five children to mourn, his untimely
decease. Tho writer has been woll
acquainted with the deceased since he
came to Nebraska, and can truly iv
he was one of the noblest works of
God an honest man. His family
lose a kind husband and indulgent
parent, and this community a good
citizen. The funeral was attended by
most of our citizens, and tho Masonic
Lodge of this place, of which the de
ceased was an honorable member
Applo wagons aro continually
making their appearance upon our
streets, but they are not loaded as for
merly, with Missouri apples of a very
poor quality, but with choico Nebras
ka fruit, fresh from, the- trees. There
will bo but littlfe demand for foreign
fruit in this county tho present season.
Wo understand that Mr D C,
Cole has been appointed a member of
the Counts Liberal Republican Com-
mittee for this precinct, by some of
old lady Tipton's understrapera at
Brownville, but in this c:so tUev have
counted without their host, for Dan,
although very liberal in politics, don't
propose to become the tool of Butler,
Tipton, Cogswell & Co. Not much.
Better try again, Mr. Muddle-hend.
The Concordia Club Room ho3
got a renter right from Yarmany. No
beer, however. The treasurer and the
club could'nt make their accounts
agree. Mine Got, uiinemouish, mine
peer.
Those young scamps that aro in
the habit of stealing apples from the
orchard belonging to the widow Lock,
west of town, had better look a little-
out, or they may get into trouble.
Those youngsters should rocollect
that- stealing apples is as much a
crime as stealing money, and what
makes this crime much worse., is the
fact that they are stealing the prop
erty of a poor widow, that is not able
to bear the loss.

W. R. Craig, the contractor on
the new Normal School building, re
ceived another lot of lumber for the
same last Monday, per steamer Min
nie. Our steamboat Dolly Varden
(Mud Hen) has gone up; "bust her
biler," and blowed eveo'thing scalla
hooting. Captain Pratt and the En
gineer were slightly injured. This
explosion of the good steamer Dolly
Varden was rather premature. It
was expected she would colapse after
taking the party she was named after
up Salt River next November.
We don't prrticularl3' desire a big
thunder storm, but if the clerk of the
weather would condescend to favor
this locality with about a three day's
rain it would be very thankfully re
ceived by our citizens who have been
at the expense of putting in new cis
terns. Let us have a peaceful rain.

Wo understand the Compton
Brothers are going into the mill busi
ness, they having taken an interest
in the saw mill just across the river.
Success to them. We hope the mill
will not share tho fate of their steam
boat. Uncle Bill- Tate presented us
with a peck of nice, mellow applos
hist Monday morning, for which ho
has our thanks. We have not had
the pleasure of visiting his orchard
since the fruit has matured, but wo
are informed by others that Mr. Tate
has tho finest variety and quality of
frui.t of any man in this part of the
county, and judging from the samples
brought us, it must be sight worth
scei.ng.
Six acres of land, within five
minutes walk of the new Normal
School building, will bo sold at a bar
gain if applied for soon. This is one
of the prettiest building spots about
Peru. For particulars enquire of J.
W. Rliss at Post Office, Peril. 42-3t
