On Tuesday ex-Senator Tipton In
attempting to "head off" a vicious

throwing him down and jumping ov

her horns but was prevented by the
close pursuit of Mr. Body, and Mr.
Tipton's son. The Senator was for
tunate in not being worse hurt.

The supreme court at Lincoln re
cently decided a case, in which decis
ion the City of Brownville, and prob
ably every other city of the sepond
class in Nebraska, is very much in
terested. In a letter from Lincoln to
the Grand Island Times, the case is
stated as follows :
Stitker, a ealoVh-keeper at Crete,
was 'arrested for keeping a saloon
wfthoiit a license, and fined, etc., be
fore a Saliu'e co'Qnty hiaglstrate, and
refusing topay fine, wasi imprisoned
in county jail. HIb attorney, Judge
W. H. Morris, of Crete, applied for a
habeas corpus" to the supreme court
ahd the writ was granted. The Ques
tion brought up was thiB: The city
council of Crete fixed the licens'e at
$300; of this amount they directed
$25 to be paid into the county treas
urj and the balance 275) to Be paid
to the jity. treasury. This act. thede
fe"udau't'alledged, was unconstitution
al, and that all ihe money collected
by lcenae should go to the school
fund of the county, and not be divid
ed between the city and the county.
The court so Held", aria the man was
discharged.
This city has been disposing of its
saloon license money in precisely the
same manner as Crete has done, for a
h'uraber of years ; and now, we pre
sume, it will have to go to work and
pay into the general school fund all
the riioriey thus illegitimately used,
which will aggregate several thousands
of dollars. ' ' ' '

Peru, August 9, 1875.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Woufd you please publish the foU
lowing preamble and resolutions ad
opted by Rising Star Grange at Its
August meetirlg. t
Respectfully,
Wm. BrIdge, Sec".
Whereas, We believe that all t'be
birds that are indigenous to this state
are the farmers' friends, inasmuch as
they wage an incessant warfare on
those insects that prey upon our fruit
and grain ; and
r Whereas, It is a common practice
oi sunary persona in our community
to wantouly kill or frighten the birds ;
and
Whereas, There is a law on our
statute books against the killing of
Insectivorous birds ; and that we rec
ognize the prairie hen and the quail
as belonging to said class of birds ;
therefore be ll
Resolved by the members of Rising
Star Grange that we will see that ev
ery viblation of the law coming to our
notice is reported to the proper au
thorities for punishment.
And ail parties are. warned not to
trespass on our landB YoT the purpose
of killing any prairie hen or quail.
And further Be It resolved that we
request the farmers of this county to
co-operate with ub in this matter".

Nails are in good demand. We
are very much troubled by a something
which In some cases amounts to a pos
itive affliction. It is thought to be a
poisonous insect which burrows In the
skin, causing an itching that is al
most unendurable.
Tt really seems pleasant to see a
family In the house formerly occupied
as a parsonage, but which for the past
eighteen monthsiias been untenanted.
August Gth, 1S74.
DEROIN DOINGS.
We received The Advertiser
last week, but hardly knew it, tliVre
being but one "local' on post-duty.
Perhaps "Llsplngs," "Doings," and
others were trying to exterminate the
pursley from late "sass."
Farmers are about thrbugh har
vesting eats in this locality. On
'Inured ay the 5th Inst., we took a ride
of a few miles in Richardson county,
and noticed quite a number of har
vesters running. Had it been the 5th
of July ll wotlla not have seemed
strange.
William GoolBby has about forty
acres of oorn that seemp to have es
caped the hoppers, and is the best we
saw in Barada precinct. William de
serves it, as he is au industrious man
with a large family.
During our ride wo passed the
house that was struck by lightning on
Tuesday the 27th ult.j in whioh George
and Harmon Mathews were killed.
They were boys of about 15 and 13
years old. The house was so badly
demolished that the family moved
out. It was a low log house, and a
lightning rod that would have cost
about fifteen dollars would perhaps
have saved .the lives of those chil
dren ; but skeptics are inclined to
doubt it, as they argue that the bolt
was so terrific that the rod would not
have protected the house; but we
believe differently, and would have
the rod to save us of the responsibili
ty that any householders feel resting
upon thehi.
The Deroln flouring mill whioh
has received more cursings than any
other mill in the country) is now do
ing an honest and good work. Mr.
Collor is a good milder, an. honest and
clever map, and in these times of high
water in llle two Nemahas the people
would do well to come to this mill
that is run by steam power. Your
wheat, is good for 33 to 35 pounds of
good iiour, not only made of each
bushel, but put Into your "poke" and
allowed to be taken home with you.
In our Inst items we unintention
ally misrepresented Deroiu, which
we hasten to correct.' We mentioned
that Dr. Fitzgerald had gone west,
which left Ibis place withouta dispen
ser of medicine. Jblo did not move
the family nt the time, and Mrs. Ger
ald Is dealing out medicines with hap
py results. She says it is perfectly
natural for her to handle drug?.
Deroln will very m'uoh miss our
friend Mr. Cooley, as lie has movedto
Brownville, we understand to take
charge of the S?t.ar Hotel.' We Ipso a
good cltlzeui, and an estimable family,
which will be Brownvllle'e gain.
We thiuk the R. R. news good
whether it is built on. the river route
or out south, as it will scatter consid
erable money through the country
and furnish" employment to many
needy men. Where the county line
is that ihe road is to be built to is the
puzzle now. If you can tell us where
that is you can smoke at Deroln's ex
pence. The writer's mow Is once more
graced with the fragrance of new
hungarian hay which was sown after
tue( hopper departure, 25th of Juno.

LONDON LISPINGS.
"I never saw corn grow as it does
now," everybody says.
The one who would complain of
the weather we have n.ow, would com
plain of the climate of paradise.
, Last .Monday a company, from
L'ondon bid farewell to wives and
sweethearts and started for Seward
county with, the threshing macblner
to earn their bread by tho "sweat of
the brow."
We were pleased with a call from
John Warner, of Brownville. If ex
actness,, .precision, neatness, order,
"an a that," are premonitory symp
toms of old bachelorism, then John is
fated.
The country is getting ttoJook
fresh and beautiful. Scattered every
where are broad fields of corn, arrayed
In "II vine ereen." Then there are
the gardens, filled with all manner of
"sass," rich In promise of soon being
ready tc prepare for tho table.
The apple orchard of Mr. Rich-.

m .5 Prof. Rich and lady, of Brown
ville, visited London last week, and
were the guests of our much esteemed
young1neighborsl Mr. and Mrs. Gib

What in the name of theological
mystery does Brother Derolii..mean
by saying, "the'wrath of God reveal
ed, or threatened through his book, is
notau execution." Why a threat, if
an execution is not intended ? Is it
just to scare men ? That will notdq.
Now, what "book" does .he, meaq?
God has many books in which to ex
press himself. Nature is qnq;- hu
manity Is another; then there js fhe
"written word" a revelation ,tp tho
spiritual nature of man. In all these
books "the wrath of God Is revealed
from heaven against ungodlinebs of
men ;" aye, and executed, too. Of
course there is no punishment as a di
rect consequence of transgressed law,
when no law has been transgressed.
Who said there was? But that inno
cent people are iuvolved in the trans
gressions, of others, needs no argu
rnnts. . It Is witnessed every day.
When the, Christ was prophesyiug of
Jthe terrjbb3 woes which were to fol
low wickedness, he said "that on you
may come al ths righteous blood shed
uppn the earth, from the blood of
righteous Abel to the blood of Zecha
riah. VerUy, I say to you, all these
things shall come upon this genera
tion." Now, there is natural law for
all this, and there is no need of flying
at Deity and crying, "nnequal jds
tlce.' "Speoial creation" Is not a scl
entitle expression is not up to the
highest thought of the times, od aul
mal or Insect life. Why the father,
if lie wished to punish a disobedient
ohild, or "chasten whom he loteth,"
could bot ure objects' already "crea
ted,' Instead of a "special creation,"
passeth common sense. Bro. D. Bays
he cannot see as I dd. Never mind ;
he will yet be more clairvoyant, or
clear-sighted; if not in seeing physi
cal pheriomena, ho will be a more
olear-sighted thinker.
A fearful storm of rain and wind
swept qver London on the morning
of the 4th Inst., and it was feared an
other form of plague was after the
oorn. It was laid fiat to the ground,
but it now lifts its proud beridias loft
ily as ever.
Rev. Wheeler has returned after
an absence of live weeks', and says
there is more prospect of orops in Ne
maha county than in any place he has
visited. He intends stopping' Hero a
while longer.
Corn is, doing splendidly. It Is
in tassel, aud ears are formlug. Po
tatoes looking finely, aud an abund
ance of them. Beans, oucumbers,
buckwheat, but I . must not tell
about so many good' things in orio
week; just wait for the new song I
promised you when wrltiug my "lam
entations." Tho Infant son of Geo. MoGrow
is pronounced a little better.
Aaron Harper is away harvesting
in Seward county.
Mr. E. Money, of London, four
years ago planted corn on the 28th of
June. It was not up on the fourth of
July, yet had good corn that season.
Bro. Barrow is correct about
"God's invincible armies." The
Lord keep's a standing army of regu
larly drilled troops, and can oall out a
host at any time without a Bpecial
creation. But wo think there Is sdrno
mistake about tho "rations for Nema
ha county."
May the child which has been
born unto Mr. Bagley in the days of
the great aud wise "Cesar Grant,"
have much of tho wisdom and good
ness of that great man, and help to
perpetuate this government when the
mighty "Cesar Grant" is numbered
with tle illustrious dead, and the
house oi Bagley is gathered with Its
fathers.
