Fire.
On last Sundrry afternoon, about
2h o'clock the cry of "Fire."' rang
through our streets. The wind was
blowing a stiff gale at the time, and
terror seized upon the heart of every
one who heard the alarm. The scene
of the fire was Geo. Berkley's resi
dence, situated upon the hill at the
southwest portion of our city, and
was occasioned from a defective flue.
Mrs. Berkley had shortly before made
a pretty good fire in order that the
house might be warm when she re
turned from Sabbath School. At the
time of the breaking out of the fire
Mrs. B. was in the Episcopal Church,
nor did she reach the premises until
they were well nigh devoured by the
fiery element. The doors were brok
en in by those ronching the house
first, and most of the furniture on
the first floor was saved, but nothing
from the upper story was rescued, and
it was there that the most and best of
the furniture was stored, together
with all the clothing of the family.
The citizens worked hard to prevent
the spread of the flames, and fortu
nately succeeded.
The house was valued by Mr. Berk
ley at $1,S00, and was insured in the
Underwriters Insurance Company,
for $1,200. Mr. B. was in Iowa at the
time of the fire, thus adding much to
the distress of his wife, who, as she
gazed upon her home as it was disap
pearing by the breath of the lervid
heat, shrieked as though with it her
heart was being torn out.
"Westward the Epizootic takes its
way," and may be around here bad
some day: although not yet to an
alarming extent, still a few cases have
occurred in this city. There seems to
be a desire to keep mum by those
whose horses are said to be affected,
for in trying to trace out a rumor of
this kind, we are always met by the
remark, "it must be a mistake." We
hope it is, and may always be, for the
Epizoot is in no wise to be desired by
'man or beast." We have heretofore
alluded to most of the cures or pre
ventatives, the latest of which is said
to be either tobacco or tobacco stems,
thestall being thickly sprinkled with
it, and, also, some being placed near
the manger so that the horse may
help himself.

BREEZY UlLi
Breezy Hill, Dec. 9. 1872.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Dear Sir : As I see io your valu
able paper an invitation for us coun
try folks to send in contiibutions, I
thought perhaps a few lines would be
sufficiently acceptable to you to pub
lish, therefore I have Ventured to ask
a few questions, hoping that you or
some one who is posted would answer
them through the Advertiser.
As you know, it is generally sup
posed that we farmers are not ac
quainted with the laws of our State
as we should be, which is undoubted
ly the fact; but It does not speak very
favorably for free American citizens,
who have for so long a time had the
privilege of depositing that silent but
powerful ballot.
The average thinker would suppose
that the farmers by this time have be
come better acquainted with our laws
than they are, but that they are not
sufficiently acquainted with our laws
to deposit their ballots intelligently,
is a lamentable fact; and your corres
pondent pleads guilty to a very great
extent.
And now, I wish to inquire why we
cannot ascertain, between each ses
sion of our Legislature, what laws
were passed and what the laws are.
without employing a lawyer to tell ii2
What is the reason that when oij
precinct officers apply to the County
Clerk for a copy of the law, we are
told that the Legislature has made no
provision for us, and yet we find that
they have made a provision for two
copies for each and every member of
the session of which they were mem
bers? Is it possible that the great State of
Nebraska cannot afford to furnish its
very humble county and precinct of
ficers a copy of the laws, or must they
go it blind, and then because they
make mistakes, be reprimanded by the
powers, that they, by their votes,
place over them ? or is it because the
Legislature is ashamed of the "in
fant" that we can't see it.
Now, in regard to our assessment
laws, we hear it currently reported
that6ome of our largest towns return
as capital employed in merchandise,
not one-tenth of what they should,
while some individual firms of said
towns return not more than one
fourth or one-third as much as some
of our small country stores, and yet to
all appearances are doing ten times
the business. What is the matter?
Is it the fault of the the assessor? or
where is it? and what is the true
cause that our County Commission
ers were obliged to raise the tax levy
one mill above what it was last year?
And now, Mr. Editor, one more
question. Is it not a discrimination
against the farmers in the way the
dog tax is handled ? Yours,
Breezy.

prietors of the Bazar Millinery Store,
are weekly receiving new and season
able goods in their line, and invite la

London, Dec. 3, 1872.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Dear Sir: Pursuant to previous
announcement, the friends of educa
tion met at the school house in Dist.
No. 18, December 2d, at o'clock p.
m. The house was filled. Mr. Isaac
Black was called to the chair, and Mr.
Wm. McKinney led in prayer. After
a very -appropriate prayer, Prof. Dye,
F. R. Sykes, Miss Decie Johnson and
Miss Fannie Arnold gave us some
very fine, even excellent, vocal music.
Mr. Black then introduced Mrs.
Ebright, of Brownville, to the audi
ence, who proceeded to give us some
superb instructious with respeet to the
moral training of our children in our
public schools. The lecture was care
fully prepared and well delivered iu
her U3ual style. She entered into the
subject with spirit and vitality. I be
lieve she meant every word she said,
and her words made an impression.
I wish that every man, woman and
child in the county could hear the
subject discussed as she discussed it,
and be made feel the importance of
such instruction as she feels it. Her
idea of the teacher being the very
beau ideal of a perfect teacher is cer
tainly one worth contemplation.
Those present were pleased, and went
home well paid for their trip.
Dr. McGrew was then called for,
and responded with a few remarks.
Mr. Black was also called for, and
made a few remarks.
We then had some music from the
choir, which was cheering indeed,
and made our hearts feel ecstatic.
Mr. Sykes, the teacher of the school
in Dist. No. 18, who has successfully
taught the school the past quarter,
then made a few remarks to the par
ents, asking their hearty co-operation
the next quarter,, and express
ed a desire to have their aid more di
rectly In securing regular attendance
at school, also punctuality. I believe
Mr. Sykes is a good teacher, and will
do all in his power to develop the
young mind. Visit him often. See
that he has necessary apparatus and
the musicers, (if I may be allowed the
privilege of coining a word,) then
sang another song.
Moved and carried that a vote of
thanks be extended to Mrs. Ebright
for her able address, and also to Prof.
Dye, Miss Arnold and Miss Johnson,
or theif assistance in the musical de
partment. May the happy time come
again. Youis,

We were overwhelmed with emo

grief. With a reporter's keen instinct
we flew to our quill to relieve our
overburdened feelings, with a deep
sense of the weight of our responsi

write the obituary of our old friend.
It was a solemn occasion ; an impera

This last sad (w)rite we wrote:
DECEASED THE NEBRASKA ADVER

raised to the front rank in journalism,
in great part, by this gentleman's ex

(Furnas) it was a red hot sheet, and
redeemed the county from the bond
age of Democracy. A few years later
the Advertiser was placed under the
fostering care of a
Church.
During this period its issues were
noted for their piety and temperance
of tone, and these pious and temper

life.
Some two years before Its demise
the editorial room was occupied for
the purposes of a Ca(l)f-frey, where

county declared it was a

at last that this was "the most un-
kindest cut of all." But a brighter
thought came to our relief. We or
dered our steed and departed in hot
haste to view the last lemains, to
mourn at the shrine of the dear old
sheet. As we whirled along our heart
was filled with anxiety. The hours
seemed weeks ; the miles leagues.
We alighted we ascended the stairs
we paused at the threshold we
composed ourseif, brushing away a
tear from the left hand corner of our
right eye. With the stillness of a fu
neral occasion we opened the door.
Oh, joy! who sits at the editorial
desk ? The same editor as of old .
There was an unconscious period in
our existence ; ouroverstrained nerves
gave way. Through the kind atten
tion of friends, consciousness was at
length restored. We were shown in
thejpress room ; the same number of
hands were at work as of yore; the
same busy click of type-setters and
presses.
THE WORLD STILL MOVED.
We learned that'the venerable gen
tleman at Peru had merely ceased
taking his own copy of the Adver
tiser. With surprise, appreciating
that enterprise which could survive
such a terrible calamity as the loss ol
a subscriber, we returned to our quiet
little home town with the glad news;
spent an hour in canvassing and ob
tained oic hundred dollars worth of
advertisements, and twelve subscri
bers for the Advertiser.
Citizens of Peru, we are authorized
upon the aothority of competent jud
ges, to state that from this untoward
event no additional earthquake may
be expected for the next two thous
and years. The sun will not stand
still for a singlemoment. The move
ments of the planets composing the
solar system will still be constant
Even the laws of terrestrial gravita
tion will not evince the least shadow
of turning. Drouth nor blight upon
crops will not probably ensue the
coming season. The prices of grain
will not be affected, and the Adver
tiser will still be printed in the fu
ture as it has been in the past, a
straight Republican paper. It has
not suffered, but received encourage
ment ien-fold greater f7Dm this terri
ble blow.
Subscriptions, advertisements, or
