Nemaha county, of which Brown
ville is the county Beat, lies In S. E.
part of the State there being but one
county between It and the Kansas
State line, and 1b bordered on the east
by the Missouri river. The soil is rich
and produces abundant orops of grain,
fruits or vegetables anything that
will mature la tills latitude.
The principal orops of tills country
and this part of Nebraska, are wheat
both fall and spring oorn, rye, bar
ley, oatp, all varieties of northern
fruits, vegetables and tho varlons root
crops. Our soil is well adapted to the
production of other crops, not exten
sively cultivated as yet, such as broom
corn, flax, hemp, the different kinds
of graBBes etc
In this country we have abundance
of timber for home use, the best water
in tho world rivers, springs brooks,
without any wet, marshy lands to
breed disease, such as Indiana has so
much of. We havo Inexhaustible
quarries of the finest building stone,
and no country makes better brick.
Along the Mo., river the face of tho
oouutry is hllty, bluffy, but fertile.
Nature prepared it for the production
of fruit, especially grapes. Finer
lands for vineyards can not be found
anywhere. Back from the river the
land Is level or roiling prairie,

BJtOWSYILLE AND ITS SCHOOLS.
LONDON LISPINGS. -
Emma Grabacb, of Grand Island,
was tried last week before Judge Max
well, for causing the death of her step
daughter, by cruel treatment. It wbb
shown by tho testimony that the step
mother in all probability, beat and
kicked tho child, and ill-used her
otherwise, from time to time until
she was finally freed from the tortures
of a she monster by tho kinder hand
of death. The little sister of tho de
ceased said thnt her mother whipped
and stamped upon the prostrate body
of Libbie the morning sho died. The
jury found tho accused guilty of man
slaughter, and she will have to serve
a term in tho p$StenUary. When
she heard tho verdict of the jury read,
she swooned nwuy. The Grand Isl
and Times, from which wo glean,
says the Judge overruled a motion for
mnrir. a now trial, and will sentence Mr.
Prof. A. D. Williams, traveling
agent for the State Journal visited our
city on the 29th ult. We extract the
following from ills letter about his
visit:

So much has been said of other
matters, as to leave little room for a
H.nccial notice of the the town. But
it is one ot tne most rename, energet
ic and excellent towns in the State.
It does a large amount of business,
and has a large number of firm, sub
stantial business men whose names
are good any where for all that stands
ahvo them. But it must be lelt for a
future lime to particlarizo.

Yet there must be a passing men
tion of the Schools, under the man
agement of Prof. W. Rich. The
Board wisely let the Prof, have his
own way, only requiring the results,
and these he has not failed to give.
Moreover be has been retained in tho
position long enough to produce man
ifest and unequivocal results. Ono

government. Such schools govern
themselves.
We spent a few minutes In tho pri
mary rooms only the best ones, how
ever, of any school which are under
the immediate instruction pf Mrs.
Ebrlght and Miss Hull. They are
both among the few primary teachers,
who 6tand, in our estimation, away
up at the top of the profession. We
are proud of Miss Hull, as one of our
own pupils. Teachers, who wish to
learn improved and practical meth
ods, will do well to visit and observe
these schools.
The Brownvillo schools are certain
ly among the very best schools In the
State.

course of creeks and rivulets of most
excellent stock water.
Emigration Is principally to the
west part of the Stato where .home
steads can be taken on government
lands. Eastern emigrants with oapi
tul.whocan purchase improved lands,
and prefer doing so, rather than to en
dure the hardship of "commencing
new," usually prefer stopping in the
eastern part of tho State. But a great
majority of those Reeking homes in
the new country of the far west are
poor and must.go where land Is very
cheap or con be had without price.
Land In this county is worth from
$5 up to $40 and $50 an acre. The
price, of course is determined by the
location and improvements. Good
unimproved land within a ffxv miles
of town can be bought ot from $5 to
$10 per acre.
The products of this State are ship
ped to the St. Louis or Chicago mar
kets. In this part of the State, stock
Is usually shipped to Chicago and
grain to St Louis.
We cannot say that this part of the
State is improving and settling very
rapidly at this time, for the reason
above given, that emigration goes on
west of us where less valuable lands
are to be procured. But yot we are
growing our prosperity is steady, our
growth and improvements permanent
and valuable.
Our railway facilities are not ex
cellent as yet, but will be ere tho elapse
of a great while. Tho Midland Pa-
clfio is now finished to this city, and
within the present year it will be fin
ished to St Joseph, Mo., which will
give us railroad communication with
eastern cities. The Qulncy (III) and
Missouri Railroad, which is located to
Brownville, Is being rapidly con
structed and there Is little doubt that
It will be finished to this city within
a reasonable time.

Omaha Herald : "Senator Griggs

was a narrow escape for Senators G riggs
and Hitchoook." Wp suppose that
this is another of the Herald's jokes,
tne points ol which are generally
nbout as sharp as tho wrong end of a
pegging awl. Beatrice Express.
Of course it Is void of wit, but it
shows the Herald man to possess tho
lowesand most contemptible of dis
positions and destitute of even the In
Btincts of a gentleman. Miller Is so
lost to human impulses ai to enable
him to rejoice at the death or bodily
misfortune of a political opponent.

E. D. Webster's cheese factory at
North Platte, which Is now about
ready for operation, Is of capacity 6uf
flclent to work the milk of about 600
cows. He has now some 400 cows
that will bo milkers this spring. That
Is the first cheese factory of any im
portance In the State we believe. Tho
business of cheese making is a pay

when compared to that of the Eastern

S OLIOITED . .
IN offering tho Dorsey Reaper for the com
ing harvest. I would call particularatten-
tion to some or tho principal points or excel
lence requisite in a lirst-ciass machine, some
of which the Dorsey possesses, and aro supe
rior to all other Reapers made.
The chief principal of merit I claim for the
Self-Rake, and Its great success as such. Is in
the raking center having Its location bet ween
the driving wheels, tnereny allowing me
rakes full sweep to bring in the grain and
rake the sheaf square, and in the most per
fect manner, for tho binder. No other ma
chine, whose rake center is on tho bar. can
deliver n perfect sheaf; the sweep being too
short, the sheaf, if well formed on the top, is
Invariably tangled and in bad order under
neath. This is certainly a point well worth
considering in the purchase of a machine, as
much labor Is saved in binding good work.
The draft of the Dorsey, owing" to its pecu
liar and perfect gearing, wo consider much
lighter than the majority of Reapers. Our
largo machine is so very light that two small
horses will cut from twelve to fourteen acres
of grain per day with ease, and without
eliansieof team an Important matter to bo
considered, and one strongly commented on
by those who havo used the machine.
Especial attention Is given to the quality
of material and workmanship employed In
the construction of all machines we build.
Nothing but tho best stock Is used, and wo
always endeavor to combine strength with
lightness and finish. AH castings liable to
