Bocent rains have put the wheat past fear of danger by drouth, and there has bean no dnmntro from trrasshoDners out thero yet. Such news Is very gratify ing to evorybody.

Mr. Newman, after our paper had gone to press last week, came into our oflice to see if it was too late to pub lish resolutions passed by the Presby terian Church at this plaoo in respect to Bev. J.

Fath ojr Flack was In tho 66th year of his ago. His death was very sudden, as thero were no alarming Bymptoms previous" to twelve hours before his death, although he had been unwell for somo time. His death was caused by tho breaking of a eorofulous ulcer of thestomach. Tho wife of deceased, formerly Mrs. Elizabeth Pavy, and his children and relatives, havo the deep est sympathy of a large olrcle of friends. We havo got tho Granger man to feeling badly again, and ho carries a face long enough to eat oats out of a ohurn. Ho complains that wo kick him a great deal, and Bays we aro a mule. Nothing can kick like a mule. His oEperienco la sad beoauso he has been Kicked by "a mule. Wo ore so sorry. Ho ought to keep out of the mule's way, and the Granger man ought to be honest and truthful, and then he wouldn't get such sovero kloks. But ho says he is getting used to It. Wo presume ho is, for a chron ic falsifier ought to bo ablo to stand almost any thing ovou the kicks of a mulo. The base ball "Clippers" of Brownvllle played tho "Athletes" of Bookport at tho latter place on the 3rd. The Athletes got away with the Clippers that time,theBCorostanding35 to 29. The number of runs mado Indi cate that both clubs played badly. Our boys are enthusiastic in their praise of the Bockport boys regarding the manner of theff treatment of the Brownvlllo boya during the day. It was In every respect most hospitable. They vied with each other In tho be stowal of good cheer towards the Clippers. We are glad to hear of such kindly feelings existing between an tagonistic clubs. It Is muoh more pleasant than quarreling A GOOD SlfOTm'Gi Statement of Warrants Issued and Ke deemed on the Several Connty Funds from tlio Year 1S55 to 18 7i, Inclusive. Several months aso the Nemaha County Association of tho Patron's of Husbandry petitioned the county commissioners for a statement of the- financial condition of the county. At the same time the oounty olerk was at work making out such a paper, and tho following is a condensed and con cise abstraot of the clerk's work re cently finished, which we give fox the interest and gratification of our coun ty readers : Ain't General Fund War rants Issued . .8152,C06 30 Ain't redeemed...... 141,823 17 $7,781 13 Am't Brldgo warrants Is sued ........................... 21.9G9 84 x Am't redeemed ; 22,U4jl6255 38 Am't Road Warrants Is- tC Am't redeemed- ...... 32,443 85 2,359 47 Am't PoorFarm warrants Issued ..-.... . 10,113 28 Am't redeemed... .. 13,335 57 2,767 39 (At the time of the issue of the Brownville preclnot B.

Another Scallawag. Dr. C. T. Price, of New York, who is send ing out to tho country press his ad vertisements with the proposition to pay in ndvance on receipt of papers containing advertisements marked "just to be certain that they aro In serted all right" proves to bo anoth er fraud, which the press will do well to avoid.

He answered us that he had conoluded to save the commission paid agents.&o., and as to paying In advance, that was what ho Intended to do after seeing his advertisement "Inserted all right.'' Just for tho fun of the thing wo In formed Dr. Price that his manner of approaoh was too thin. The Dootor Is, undoubtedly, a swindler.

Coun cilman Parker said there were people in the olty who seemed determined to lot'thoir hogs run out anyhow ; and that of nights, and on Sundays when people wore at church, they were in tho hnblt of turning tholr hogs out, and he wanted tho Mdrshal to take some meanB to stop that kind of vio lation of the law.

I noto all yon say, and will reply with statement that M. P. oar 161 was loaded with wheat by J. M, Woods at Nebraska City March 8th, consigned to C. Howe, Linooln. March 9th same car and load wbb forwarded by B. & M. R. R. via Kearney Junction to B. L. Dayton. Columbu3 Station, U. P. R. R.

R., and Inqbiry was Instituted to find the owner. J. M. Woods, who loaded tho oar, disclaims all knowl edge of them, and says "confiscate anything of the hind you ever find in my cars." Mr. Townsend, who attondod to that work for you at Lincoln, and in spected tho oar, when first asked about it said he knew nothing of it; but a few days after called and said that gin co thinking of it he rememborod seeing something of tho kind stick ing out of tho wheat, but thought but little of it at the time, presuming that it was understood by tho R. R. agent. Subsequent letters from agent at Co lumbus, giving moro particulars of the matter, that It was second-hand maohlnory of railroad character, and from all I can learn by the full cor respondence I feel satisfied it does not in any way connect with your self or your society, and tho indica tions all aro that it wad put into the oar by somo railroad workman who omitted to report it to the agent and have It billed, and tho oar with thorn In it was sent to Mr. Woods' grain house whoro tho car was loaded in the night by Mr. Woods' laborers, and thus the matter started ; but who is the man is the question, bb he will be slow, even with all ihe virtues B.

A littlo too muoh rain has discouraged somo of our river-bottom farmors, as tho wa ter is standing on the ground to the detriment of orops. It requires faith, hopo and pluok to farm this year. JudgoRitter and olerk havo been very kind In weighing and distribu ting the seed sent to this precinct. This is St. James' religion t to visit tho fatherless and widow in ther af fliction (grasshoppcred), and keep yourself unspotted (straight) beforo tho world. I cannot believe as Sister London does, that tho hoppers and other troubles of tho oountry aro God's "vials of wrath poured out upon the people," and will give two objections. First: If God is displeased with all of his pooplo, or any of them, ho would not punish In this way. What would you think of a parent who would pun ish tho whole family for tho trans gression of one or moro insubordi natos? or one who would punish the weak and helpless with tho samo rod as ho would those who woro thlok clothing? A teaohe? who would at tempt to chastise jtho whole school fpr the misconduct of a few pupils, would soon be expelled. Second: If we are punishod in this world for sins, away goes the doctrine which Is ns old a3 the hills, namely, that tho future is to bo a future of rewards and punish ments. The firing of the oannon on tho third at Brownville, which was very plainly heard here, reminded us of the days when wo wore our coat of bluo which Bhono with buttons bright and now. "Though tho ddys are dark with troublo," wo find some things funny, and oven laughable. . In our last itorhs wo spoko of tho extravagant modes of living among some of our poor, and aimed to explain further by saying that "there is such a thing as being a poor aristocrat.' The Advertiser mado it read"there Is no suoh thing aB,'"Sso. A alight difference of opin ion. Well great men aro allowed to dlffor. Wo aro looking for better times in Doroln, the flouring mill having ohanged bands. Mr. Coller, ono of me oesc miners 01 tne west win run it. A good miller, liko a good cook, Improves our biscuit. LONDOiY LISPINGSi Tho windows of hoavon aro open and the rains descend in frequont and copious showers. Tho grasshoppers havo taken wings and gono to seek fresh pastures. Ground squirrels liava caton out muoh corn. Mr. Isaac .Black, of tho Omaha Indian Agency has a vaaatloaiiow and la on a visit.. - Gavoua ajjfjjTila; company'with "Cornlo" glad to seo them. A great amount of corn has beon washed out by the late rains. It is getting rather late In tho season to plant aguiri. Bathes unfavorable weather for picnics most too damp in tho groves for snmmer costumes. Tho ollmax In political absurdity has been roached ; hear it : "If good officers are wanted, they mtist be sought for In tho oamp whoro the In dependents control." Lot no ono try highor flight Into tho ridiculous than that it can't bo beat. There was a woddrng In London. Anna McKInney and Jerry Berlin were married and tho Peru Itemizer had a pieco of tho cako, he saya. Tho London itomlzer did not get a pioooof cako, yet wo wish them a peaooful voyage of tho stormy" soa of matrimo nial lifo. A "buahol of brains" in Mr. Bee oher or any other man, will nover mako him truly great without purity of life and moral excellence. Yet no real friend will forsako a man whon his "sins havo found him out." It Ib not God-like, for God so loved tho world that when wo wero yet sinners Christ died for tho ungodly. I may havo been a horo-worshlpberr but Henry Ward Beecher was never ono of my gods; yet thoso who worship him havo as muoh right to thelrgodB as I havo to mi no ; and though It should prove that Mr. Bceoher has become what Paul tho Apo3tIo feared, that after he had instructed others, might himself bo a castaway, yet humanity has received many beantl ful lessons from him which havo help ed thorn up to a hii-her life. "Oh how hard to climb tho steep where Fame's proud temple shine3 afar" so many enemies without and within. And how often It ta'ri be1 Bald of those who have just about reached tho sum mit as Byron sold of Buonaparte "Who would climb tho solar holght, To sot In such a starless night." And lot as all try and bo Christ-Hko while wo bitterly rebuke sin, nove? forsake or n'eto tire sinner. PERRY & BERGER, ARCHITECTS) GOmAfiTORS, BUILBSRg, AND GEUSRAI J&B SHOP.!
