ojr Flack was In tho 66th year of his

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

him a great deal, and Bays we aro a
mule. Nothing can kick like a mule.

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

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

Mr. CiiAPiiAN's Reply.
Midland Pacific Railway,
Ge'i. Fiuciciiit and Ticket Office
Lincoln, Nkb., Jnno 25 th, 1875
Church Howe, Esq., Treasurer Patrons of
Husbandry:
Dear Sir Yours of 22d enquiring
In relation to otray freight (machine
ry, &o.,) found In car wheat shipped
over this road last winter, Ib at hand.
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. When unloading con
signee found burled in tho wheat a lot
of machinery, pumps, &c, whioh
wore not Included in way-bill for the
oar. He omitted to mention it to the
station agent till nterly a month af.-
ter, (It seem 8 the 06r-wsgHot-nlad-ed
at ihe station,) when the agent ra-
P. 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. B.
men arc noted for, to como forwarid
and own that ho was the origin of the
miscarriage.
Hoping this explanation will be sat
isfactory, I am,
Y6nr truly,
S. W. CHAPMA.N, G. F. Agt.

The enemy having retired tho
farmer has onco more taken the field.
Tho replant corn 13 growing nice
ly in thl3 locality, giving flattoring
prospects for a corn crop. 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.
