We do no't recollect the prevailing

If the poet who wrote "Jo! JoV'
will have it republished during the
coming "dog days," it will relieve a
whole community mightily. It Is
good now when everybody has hd
blues, equal to a dose of cephalic pills
"byjove."
Capt. Davidson's mammoth poodle
dog is the subject of much remark.
We are not certain whether the dog
or his master receive the most compli
ments. In truth he is a noble dog.
We mean the dog is a noble dog. Of
course his master is noble lao,
Not New. The Charter Oak Stoves
were introduced to the publio twenty
years ago, and the demand for them
has increased with each succeeding
year.
The Excelsior Manufacturing Com
pany is now prepared to supply, in
any quantity, those who need a good
stove.
Lon. Rich is again in the city, and
some one said he was about to pursue
the study of the law, while we heard
another one conjecture that be con
templated committing matrimony
We are at a loss to know which re
port is worthy of the most credence,
particularly as Lon. is known to pore
for hours over "Bishop on Marriage
and Divorce".
Monday was a warm duyf but du
ring the night the wind veered round
to the north-west and Tuesday was
cold. From letters and papers receiv
ed from the several States, we find
that the spring has been inclement
throughout the country. It is some
consolation that Nebraska is no ex
ception to the general rule.
F. M. Vancil pasned the ordeal of
an examination for admission to the
bar during the late term of court, and
took the oath to "delay no man's
cause for fear, favor, or hope of re
ward." He is now", therefore, a full
fledged lawyer, and is prepared to do
battle with the nestor's profession.
Precisely where Frank will find'a lo
cal habitation we are not informed.

The Sabbath School Concert on last
Sabbath evening was an excellent af
fair, though a departure from the ac
customed method of conducting them
The sermon by Rev. Mr. Baird, was
one verjT appropriate for the occasion,
and secured the wrapt attention of dll
the children. The attendance was
large, and no evidence of a dimuni
tion of interest In these entertain
ments has yet appeared.
We are in receipt of the Arazona
Senlinnl of the 29th ult., giving elab
orate praise to Judge De Forest Port er,
who had just closed a term of court in
Yuma, during which he had sentenc
ed three murderers, one to death and
"the others to lengthy terms of im
prisonment. The same paper also
speaks in glowing terms of Isham
Reavis, formerly of Falls City, late
Judge Porter's predecessor, now a
practicing attorney.
"A new hatld at U10 bellows.'' We
have long heard arid read of things
being "clear as mud." Several para
graphs in the last issue bf the "what
is it" organ, published 111 this city,
knocks that old saying iritti a cocked
hat. Who the assistant is who did
the heavy writing for thd Democrat
last week is, we will not tell. He is
not of the list announced by that pa
per some" weeks ago. Some new hand
is taking a turn. Next!

We are g'lad to notice the interest
manifested in the study of astronomy
both in and out of our schools. We
are informed that most of the lady
teachers give special evening lessons
to such enthusiastic gentlemen as are
too much engrossed in business to de
vote any portion of the day to the
study. We esteem the practice as
commendable, and think the tops of
some of Ulese bluffs excellent obser
vatories for star-gazing.
Alf. W. Morgan has engaged in the
bdrlngof wells, and to advertise the
capatiity of his machinery, entered
into a contract to provide water on 2d
street lle.tr Maiu. He started on Fri
day and by noon on Saturday, at a
depth of 28 fedt, struck an 8 foot vein.
The discovery is a good thing for' the
city, and besides its convenience for
purposes of consumption, may be the
mcatls sometime of saving' thousands
of dollar's worth of property'; as rep
resented in business houses in the
neighborhood of the well;
In this connection", however, w'e
must be permitted to express our
doubts as to the capacity of this well
being sufficient to supply thd demands
which will be made upon if. In our
judgment it should be deeper and at
least five feet across.
The exercises of the Literary So
ciety are still attended with interest
arid profit to" those who participate.
We are glad to see its prosperity, but
orir voice is now, as ever, in favor
of a public lyceum, where all may
come and participate, and in a place
where there will bean absence of that
feeling of restraint which necessarily
attends gatherings at a private resi
dence. Where there is a will there is
a way, and the ways and means will
come to the bands of determined
workers. When superanuated ideas
and men are shaken off and thrown
out of the way of progress, Brown-
;ville, hi common with the world, will
mov'e in? the' right direction. Most
anv kind of men an'd almost any kind
of ideas wiii permit me laying out o
a town on the frontier, but with
growth comes civilization and all the
refining influences, and these will
rule.

The duties of editing the concern
over the Way is so burdensome that
Its editors are compelled to write
week-a-bout. Last week's editor was
not the fellow who scribbled the week

The scavenger of the Democrat
wants to know something about the

New Residences. Our Honorable
County Treasurer, Gfeo". W. Bratton,

Nebraska is hopelessly in debt. We
stiitfi ii fact not to be controverted,
when we say" the debt of Nebraska is
less than two hundred thousand dol
lars, and would not be one dollar if
the taxes were paid up. Whatever
burden the people of this State have
to complain of, if at all, is local what
they have voted upon" themselves.

itor is still troubled with the visit of
the Nebraska Legislature to Topeka,
Kansas, and asserts that it cost the
State of Kansas two thousand dollars
for a champaign supper. We happen'
to know something about that supper.
It was elegant; but not a drop of wine
or any other liquor was upon' the table
no, not a drop. It was tempe'fate
in that respect in to-to. Strange as it
iiiay seem, it is nevertheless a fact,
kndwn by ail who were pfresCrit.
Corning from Lincoln the other day
we were met at the Nebraska City de
pot by our brother in the faith and
work, W. H. H. Waters of the Chron
icle, who escorted uS and several ladies
and gentlemen from Lincoln, to h'is
residence, wh'ere ve were fe'gale'd
with one of the best riiea'ls we ever
sat down to.
Bro. Waters took the Liberal chute
last year, but in his view the Liberal
party died with its chief, Horace
Greeley, and he is now back in the
old harness, in which we wish him
success and hb'nor.
The storm on the B. & M. R. R. in
the western portion of our State last
week, was unprecedented. Over' a
wee& elapsed in which no trains went
farther over that thoroughfare than
Crete, and our fellow citizens Dr. J.
McPhersori arid j. L. Roy, who
reached Liucoln en route to Republi
can City on Monday evening of last
week, were" still there on Sunday and
expected to be further detained until
Tuesday. The stiow was said to be
quite deep in the western portion of
our State, crushing with its weight
roofs of dwellings and barn'3, and
Causing many deaths. We ex'pect to
hear Of much fatality grOWlrig OUt 6f
the storm.
The Democrat Is endeavoring to
create the impression that Gov. Fur
nas is receiving a salary of over Sli,
000 a year. The idea is simply ridic
ulous, and would not be uttered by
any sane man, much' less believed.
The salary is fixed by the Constitu
tion at one thousand dc liars it year,
and cannot be changed by legislative
enactment. The array of figures the
idiotic or splenetic editor is parading
before its readers i3 for the support of
the Executive Department for two
year9. The Governor receives no ben
efit from any portion of it except the
one thousand dollars w'bich is bi3 pay
in full, and is really less than the City
MarebajJ of Brownville receives;

the valuation of personalty, and notic
ably so as to poll. The reason Is that
by order of the Secretary of State
sixty additional days were granted the
assessors, and hence 'Squire Ebright
was taking his time ; but the board of

he was compelled to hand bis report

Lafayette PREciScr, April 11, '73.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
In taking the assessment of La-'
fayolte Precinct, I also took a few"
items which I thought perhaps
would be of interest to tho citizens of
this precinct tthd County, and a3 yon
have numerous subscribers in the pre
cinct, if you should deem the follow
ing statements, showing what the
farmers here done the past year, of
sufficient interest for publication, doso.
Lafayette precinct is six miles wide
from north to soath and nine toiies
long from east to west,- containing 54
sections or 34,560 acfes, having under
cultivation 11,500 acres or nearly J
the whole amount. There was in
corn last year 5,464 acres or nearly J
the whole amount in cultivation,
yielding 234,138 bush'el, averaging 43
bushels per acre ; in wheat 2,523 acresj
yielding 47,070 bushels, an a'vefrige" 6f
IS bushel3 an acre ; iri rye 409 acres,
yielding 5,995 bushels, averaging near
ly 15 bushels per acre, being a" very
light yield, the result of late1 to" very
late sowing the fall previous, co'ns'e
quently freezing out very badly.'Rye
usually yields an average of 20 bush
els per acre at least when sown in
season. Oats, 1,123 acres, yielding
47,315 bushels, averaging 42 bushels
per acre. The item of Barley' was in
advertantly left out, but as near as I
can ascertain, tlie acflodnt of barley
raised Id the precintit was about equal
to the amount of oats, the yield per
acre generally being from 30 to 40
bushels per acre, however. George
Wathan, of the Illinois settlement,
reports 62. bushels and 40 pouuds of
barley from a measured acre and not
a very good year for barley either.
The farmers of this precinct used
some corn the past winter for fuel in
stead of wood and coal, consuming
onfy 14,240 btishels from the 1st day
of Ndv'embef,- 1S72, to the 1st day of
April" ISTo2, d period of five rtfortths or
150 days, making an average co'n
sifm'ption of corn for fuel of about 95
bushels per day.
There are in the precinct 29 reapers,
4 heading machines, 6 threshing ma
chines and more very much needed.
The farmers are not very heavy on
fire insurance, having only paid out
the past year $175 ; a good chance out
here for a live agent representing a
live company;
The farmers have sold the prist year
347,850 pffunds of pork, averaging
about 5 cents per pound, realizing the
snug little sum of $10,405.68.
There are in the precinct, 4et out in
orchards, 10,288 apple trees, averaging
74 trees for each farm now u'rider cul
tivation ; 12,874 peach or over 93 peach
trees for each farm ; 2,264 grape vines
or orily a little over 16 to each farm.
It Is very strange that the farmers
do not put out more grape Vines
when grapes are the surest fruit crop"
wd have if properly cared for; Ttiere
are" nearly 530 acres' in forest trees,
ranging froni o'ne year to 15 years old.
There is in the precinct 456 horses,
worth $26,500 ; 50 mules, worth $3;570;
1,537 cattle, worth $33,410 ; and only
139 sheep. No wonder flannels are
high and cottons all tho go. 2,647
swirie, wbrth $8,000; 137 wagons,
worth $4,740 ; 90 dogs assessed, besides
the Dutchman's few that no person
claimed.
The assessed value before equaliza
tion Is for the precinct $046,000.
There are 050 beef cattle being fat
tened, making a market for a little of
surplus corn. Special mention should
be made of the following gentlemen
for their energy, enterprise and pluck:
R. W. Sheldon is fattening 80 beeve3.
William Jewell 140, William Delay CO,
John Delay 300, Johnathan Higgins
180, Jacob Good 70, Joseph Lash 30,
the balance being scattered a few in a
place.
There are 34 sewing machines in
the precinct, or about one to- every
four families.
There were 188 persons assessed and
out of that number seven were found
who could not write their names.
In reporting the average for corn,
wheat, rye, oats, &c.,- it all had been
put in In proper season and properly
cared for, the riv'erage would have
been fully 20" per cent, greater, some
pieces' of corn yielding eighty bush
els per ac'fe", and some pieces of wheat
from 31 io 34 bushels per acre'.
Yours truly,-
Sxooks.
