On lat Sunday morning while Mr. Thos. King, of this city, was strolling along the river bank, about a mile be low town, a peculiar and very offen sive smell attracted his attention, and looking for the cause discovered a dead man. He immediately came to town and notified Coroner JSbrlght of the discovery he had made; wbe pro ceeded to the spot where the corpse was lying, accompanied by a number of citizens. Ajurywasat once Im paneled when the following facts touching the case, circumstantially, were elicited : On Thursday the2oth ult., a Swede, giving his name as Left9tein, applied to James Zook, en gineer at Graham's saw mill, for work and was employed, and went to Mrs. Shidley's to bdard. He safd he walk ed frdra Omaha to Brownville, and appeared to be without money, much depressed in spirit nnd at times un well. After the first day he did not return to the mill, but stayed at his boarding house until Monday morn ing, 29th. when he disappeared and nothing more was seen or heard of him. The corpse found, although much disfigured, having to all ap pearances been dead several days and exposed to the hot weather, was thought by Zook and Mrs. Shadley to be the body of Leftsteiu. The jury concluded that the man took his own life by hanging. They were led to this opinion by the fact that nearly above the body and about four feet from the ground a part of a large handkerchief was found fastened by one corner to a leaning sappling and the other part was about the neck of the dead man. The supposition was that he made a noose into which he placed his neck and strangled to death, and that afterwards the hand kerchief tore asMinder letting the body drop to the ground. Upon ex amination of the bodjT no nlafks more than the handkerchief would make around tile Heck indicating violence were found. The only paper found on the body was a letter written in the Swedish language, signed by Charles Berg "and addressed to "my brother." It pur ported to have been written at Gall Hall, Denmark. JuneOth, 1S74. From the fact that the surname of the wri ter of the letter was Berg, the jury i.t ? j i - t came m me conclusion mat me name of the deceased was Berg also. Tiie only property of any vdue found on de"cea-ed was a gold ring with the initials "A. A." engraved on the Mime. He left aplain silver j watch at his boarding house, which is In the hands of the Coroner. The man was of medium size, of light complexion and about ,'K5 years old. After hearing all the facts tilts jury rendered the following verdict: State op Xkhraska 1 Nemaha County.

Some weeks ago, dur readers re member, a call, signed "Many Cit izens," was issued to the lax-payers of London precinct, for a meeting to be held in Londori on the 3rd of July. On the day and at the hour named, quite a number of the tax-payers of London precinct assembled, and W. T. Rogers, Esq., county attorney was present to seo what was to be done and to represent the county commis sioners. The'meeting organized by electing Charles Campbell, chairman and A. J. Skeen secretary. Considerable dis cussion was indulged in with regard to taxes, unfair assessments, and the action of the Board of Commissioners in equalizing the assessments parti cipated in by the agrieved, of whom there were but a few and Mr. Rogers. The origin of the discontent amongst some of the tax-payers, and from which the meeting originated, was as follows : The assessor of London pre cinct did not value the lands of that precinct at figures anywhere near up to those given from the precincts im mediately adjoining London precinct. The attention of the commissioners, when sitting as a Board of Equaliza tion, was called to the discrepancy when they proceeded to increase the valuation of such lands of the pre cinct as they thought had been assess ed too low, which action of Course in creased the taxes on such lands. To this the owners of these lands object ed, taking the ground that the com missioner's had no right to meddle with the assessements of their pre cinct. Hence this meeting of indig nation was called. Mr. Rogers addressed the meeting, demonstrating to the people present that they had not been unjustly dealt with, and that. the burden of their tax es was not greater than their neigh bors of other precincts, especially those of Brownville precinct who pay more than one-fuurth of all the tuxes of Nemaha county. Mr. Rogers also produced the law which authorizes the commissioners, a a Board of Equalization, to do just as the had done to increase the val uation of property when they were satisfied that the assessor had valued it too low, or to reduce in cases Where the valuation was too high. The reason why tills power is given the commissioners ii that every tax-payer should be made td hear his or her equal share of taxiltion nothing more and nothing less. Mr. Rogers' plain exposition of law and facts had the effect to enlighten the minds of the gentlemen who heard him; and had they had as much light ou the subject before the meeting was called, it never would have been called. Mr. Rogers then Introduced a resolution exonerating the county commissioners from all blame. The resolution lis nearly as we could get it read as follows : JZesolved, That it is the senso of this meeting that tha assessors of London Precinct and the county com missioners sitting as a Board of equal ization be and are hereby exhonornt ed from any charge df dishonesty in any errors that may have been com mitted in the aaedsment and for the year 1874. The resolution was adopted. This we understand was about all the business done at the meeting ex cept the passage of a resolution sup pressing the minutes of the same. UliCIUAE OIL. Call ami try H.

Wil liams, well known in this locality as the proprietor of the Grand Duke Ex press Line and by his classic" locks, oratid to an appreciative auiiien'Ce oh Main street on Monday evening, con cerning the stranger in our "Polar" system, as follows : Gentlemen of respect and energetic feelings I have studied Bibography, Physiology, Plenipotentiary, Gastro fiomry, Egnography and this is my fundamental system. I have teached school and the-English principles of the system of greatness, and I say it before you by my energetic feelings that I can teach more men the funda mental system of our holy English literature than can me, ccrlaiii and we.

Why I would launch out on the far spreading opinions of a a goose of the first magnitude und sail on in the Iimitable depths of rever ential power, and comb the fiery tail of the comet with the grandeur of an astronomical pertinacity and a hori zontalincongruity. Think 3rou that in all that solitude of space I would rest my weary feet on the immensi tude of nothingness and gaze ou the brilliancy and indulgence of the fundamental system of greatness? No!

THE COXJNTY SH'ERIDA'V SCRAPS.. We spent sevpral days lately in. Johnson county. The appearance' bFl crops Is good, better than we ever saw, except some few pieces of late planted and badly worked corn. Farmers are in good spirits and are getting ready for a big harvest. We should think all the people in the county were Grangers ilnd believed in a good supper and a social meet ing by the way they turned out to a Grange supper on Spring Creek. We visited Sterling and found it lively and growing fdsl. The railroad com pany undertook to change the loca tion of the town. They succeeded in getting their depot and a hotel fardbt upon the prairie, where they starid alone, while the town grows up dh the old site. If the B. & Ft. K. it. R. is ever built the company will riot try the same game at Sheridan as Ihe grade is such that they cannot make a stopping place anywhere else. An other thing surprised us somowhat ; although Johnson county ia Granger to the backbone, and has a railroad through it. the fiirmers get 25 per cent les for butter and eggs and they pay more for rherbhaudise, even in the Grange store, than ih the much abus ed town of Brownville. Wo wish it distinctly understood that not one of the inhabitants of Sheridan has any enmity towards Brownville; do not join in the wish so often expressed that it was in the bottom, of the Slissouri River, or, as a loud talking Gxattger expressed- it, in Ii I. But we had supposed that we might live in the center of the county, or even vote to move the county seat to the center, if we ever get a chance, without being "reckless speculators, enemies of Brownville, speculative ring, unscrupulous sharp prs, adventurers dedirlhg to" vorfc .in jury to the county, Cause stagnation of business, stop emigration to the county, cause enormous (axes, trying to organize a political party fo move the county seat, &o." Dr. before yrm try again read that little item in the editorial column of the Granger of last week which reads, "Abuse arid ridicule are not the weapons with which to annihilate tho independent uprising of the people. Some of the Grangers have lots of fun about the Fourth of July ora tion of a Democratic lawyer from Brownville.
