rfQr T.nr-hin B. Church, who
has been for sonie time at the State
University, is spending the vaca on
of the holidays at hia home in this
city.
-The original story intended for
ChristmeR. was not yet ready for this
weeks issue as we promised and ex
pected : but now the manuscript ia .
our possession, and it will appear next
week.
- Marshal Campbell requests us to
say that cattle must be kept off the
street, otherwise he will proceed to
impound them. Owners of cows
will take notice, and by taking care
of their own stock will avoid trouble
and costs.
Isn't our correspondent who
signs himself "More if you want,"
exceedingly sarcastic? "Oh! shame
where is thy victory?" is extremely
withering, and "Looker On," no
doubt, feels utterly unable to answer
tho question, and will have to "gub
it up."
Last week we had not learned of
tho arrival in this city of the mother,
a brother and young nephew of our
esteemed citizens Theodore and Lew
is Hill. Mr. Edmund Hill and his
son and mother, whose residence is
T.i.nn. X. Y.. arrived in this city on
ti visit to their relatives on Friday the
ISth Inst., and will depart for Home
some time next week. We acknowl
edge a pleasant call froiri Mr. E.
Hill.
A very pleasant entertainment
was enjoyed by the young people on
Monday evening at the residence of
Mr. M. A. Haudley. A tree covered
with gifts, handsome, unique, funny
and otherwlso, (principally other
wise), was the center of attraction
and furuished n fund of amusement
for tho evening. We saw everything
from a rag doll to a beautiful silver
butter dish, a present for Mr. and Mrs.
Handley, which the ingenuity of the
brain could devise. Such occasions
area thing of beauty and a joy forev
er. Mr. Moses Banks informs us
that some young men, rather the
worse for whisky, at his house on the
night of tho marriage of his daugh
ter, entered his cellar and stole quite
a lot of oyster3 and other things. He
says he knows the guilty ones, but
will not molest them as he has great
respect for their parents. But he
hopes the boys Will, without unnec
essary delay, again join tho Good
Templars and keep the pledge better
than they have heretofore, for boys
should not drink whisky, especially
when it leads them to commit crim
inal acts and to trample upon and
abuse the hospitality of friends.
Since tho Issue of our paper last
week we received a letter from Mr.
Jas. A. Hood, of Aspinwall, stating
that we, and also the Granger, were
incorrect as to the origin of the fire
that destroyed the Aspinwall shod
house. He says "the people got to
the school house in time to see where
the lire iirt started, which was in
the wall, and no fire, or signs of fire,
were seen about tho sJove or floor,
only in the wall," and no blame can
attach to 1113 Sears, the teacher who
had charge of the school. We most
gladlj' make this statement, which we
doubt not is correct, and which re-
ieves all parties from censure, ex-
cent.nerhans, those who superintend
ed tho erection and appointments of
the buildingorthemechanic who built
the line or chimney, for the fire cer
tainly was not the work of an incen
diary. We could not think that any
one would be mean enough to put fire
to a public school house
l
We had tho pleasure of meeting
Mr. Wescott, liveryman and city mar-
shal of Tecnmseh, in tho cit' on Sat
' .....
urday last. He informed us that a
serious shooting affair took place in a
saloon Iu Tecumseh on Friday nigut
last. A mulatto barber named John
son, who has been carrying on his
business for some months in that city,
got into a difficulty with a German
whose name he could not remember,
and upon being crowded on, and
threatened by several persons with
bodily injury, and especially by the
(jtermuu who had a hatchet with
which ho menaced Johnson, the lat
ter drew a revolver and shot the Ger
man twice in tho face, then backed
out of the room with tho pistol pre
sented to deter any one from follow
ing him, and mado good his escape.
Tho wounded man's injuries will in
all probability prove fatal. Mr. Wes
cott says thoso who saw tho affray,
and were disinterested, think Johu
son was justifiable in the shooting.
On Christmas eve. at the resi
dence of tho bride's father, Mr. John
h rasier and Miss Mary C. Banks were
united in marriage. Esquire Crother,
of Nemaha City, officiated.
As Mr. Banks had extended a gen
eral Invitation for everybody to at
tend the wedding and dance, nearly
everybody did attend, and one of the
gayest and most sociable occasions
was enjoyed by the guests during
nearly the entire night. The only
unpleasant feature of the affair was
the great uumber of pooplo present.
Notwithstanding that Mr. Bank's
house is very commodious, It was lit
erally packed full of ladies and gen
tlemen, but Mr. B. and lady and the
attendants and managers spared no
pains to make everybody comfortable.
The table was spread early in tho ev
ening aud groaned beneath its load of
"creature" comforts." A big crowd
had been anticipated, and ample
preparations were made to feed and
make happy all who might come.
Good music was. in attendance, aud
the night was spent in feastiug and
dancing.
We, being Jn the neighborhood,
called for a short time, and received
cordial welcome and most hospitable
treatment at the hands of Mr. Banks
and family, for which we return our
thanks.

1V0ETH APPRECIATED.
Br. Stcvrarfc and Clayt. Shurts Receive
Handsome Presents from tile
Employes of the Assylum.
On Christmas afternoon, says the
State Journal, a party of ladies and
gentlemen, consisting of Gov. Fur
nas, Warden Wm. Woodhurst and
lady, J. J. Imhoffand lady, Mrs. Col.
O. Wilson, Hon. A. G. Hastings, Dr.
McGlumphy, and Messrs. M. K.
Flemming, D. H. Andrews, and O.
M. Druce, proceeded to tho asylum
and presented Dr. Stewart a gold
headed cane, and a splendid silver
service, and to Clayt. Shurts a Knight
Templar's charm, ris tokens of their
appreciation of the worth of Superin
tendent Stewart aud Steward Shurts,
both as citizen's and officers. Gov
ernor Furnas mado the presenta
tions with the following appropriate
and well arranged remarks :
"Dr. Stewart: The pleasant duty is
assigned mo to present 3011 this silver
set and this gold-head cane. They
arefrom the emplo3,es of the ass3T
lum, and given as a token of esteem
for 3'ou, both as a gentleman and suc
cessful official. Ma3' the3r be constant
reminders of pleasant intercourse be
tween 3'ou and them. Should Provi
dence permit your earthly sojourn
until old age overtakes you, which I
hope He will, 11133' you lean upon this
staff with pleasant recollections."
"Mr. Shurts: Another pleasant du
t3T remains for me to perform. Your
personal friends desire me to present
you in their behalf, with this superb
Knight Templar's charm, given as an
evidence of the high regard in which
they hold 3Tou. While given as a to
ken of respect on their part, I need
not remind j'ou of its m3'stic signifi
cance. Let 3Tou life and conduct ever
be as unsullied as the glittering blades
of the Knights of this occasion, and
with an abiding consciousness that
3our official course and kindly acts
merited the fullest approbation."
Neither gentleman could express
his heartfelt thanks, but bcth were so
happ3T that words wero needless.
The compan3 enjo3'ed themselves im
mensely, and no happier collection of
Lincoln's best citizens ever came to
gether.
A CARD FR03I JAMES G. CLARK.
TO THE PEOPLE OP PERU.
M3T several failures to fulfill ap
pointments to sing in Peru ma3' have
caused the people to lose faith in me.
The appointments were made when I
thought there could be no doubt of
their fulfillment. But the unexpect-"
edl3 slow return of strength after my
fever was over, made the postpone
ments absolutely- unavoidable.
I wish to announce that I havo en
tirely reboveied my health and
strength, and that unless sonio acci
dent befalls me, I seo nothing to pre
vent ni' visit to Peru or. Saturday,
January 2nd. I trust tho public will
give me another trial.

Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Dear Sir: I send you enclosed a
small notice of the State Normal
School, requesting that you give it an
insertion in your excellent paper.
The State furnishes no means to pa3r
for such notices. But wo understand
3'ou have heretore given such notices
gratuitously, and we thank you that
you have thus aided this noble State
charity, the Normal School.
Hoping soon to become acquainted
with you, and desiring to see you at
our school frequentlj', I am,
Very truly yours,
AZEL Fbeeitan,
Principal State Normal School.
I wish to say, through the medium
of j'our excellent paper, that tho Nor
mal School at Peru closes its fall term
iu a flourishing condition, and gives
promise of great usefulness in the fu
ture. There have entered during the term
now closing, two hundred and thir
teen pupils. Of these sixty-five are
in the Normal School proper, and one
hundred and forty-eight in the Pre
parator' School. The great majority
of these students are young gentle
men and ladies from a distauce, man3T
being from Missouri and KaueaH, and
a better set of students cannot be
found at any Normal School or Col
lege iu the nation.
Both departments of the school are
thoroughly organized, and furnished
with teachers of great experience and
ability. Besides the pupil teachers
there are eight 'regular members of
the Facult3
Wo wish to saj' to the young men
and women of Nebraska, especial
those who aro preparing themselves
for the work of instruction, and who
wish to perfect themselves in the
most recent and approved methods of
teaching the various branches, never
was a more favorableopportunit3' of
fered. The State here furnishes the be3t of
instruction, and everj facility there
for, "without money and without
price." Not even an entrance fee or
contingent tax of any kind is charged.
Good boarding in private families,
including furnished room, lights and
fuel, can be obtained for from $3.25 to
$4.00 per week. There is a special
boarding hall for ladie3. Mauy stu
dents rent roonic and board them
selves at greatly reduced rates.
The Trunk R. R., connecting Ne
braska Cit3r and Brownville, is has
tening towards completion. The
track is laid from Brownville through
Peru, and we are told trains will be
running regularly next month over
the entire road.
