We were last week shown some
specimen corn, on the stalk, at the
First National Bank of this oity,
whioh, taking everything Into con
sideration, Is worthy of note. The
oorn was grown by Mr. Err Phillips,
on a farm belonging to Dr. John F.
Neal, in the Peru bottom. It was
"sod oorn," the land being broken and
the corn planted in May. Tho sam
ples wo saw contained from two to
three ears to the stalk large ears of
white field dent and ono stalk had
three good ears and two nubbins. Mr.
Carson and Mr. Bally, who looked
over this magnificent field of sod corn,
estimate its yield at not lesa than
seventy-five bushels to the acre. Mr.
Carson sent a small saok of this corn,
with a history of its growth, cultiva
tion, and kind of soil, as a Bample of
Nebraska 6od corn, to Mr. Charles,
the English railroad man now at New
York City.
Now, as It might be of benefit to
somebody in search of well produc
ing oheap land, we will figure a little.
100 acres of land et 810 per acre $1,000
Breaking 100 acres at 520 per ocro.... 250
Cost of land and breaking same. .$1,250
Now we will estimate the corn crop
at 60 bushels per acre, whioh Is very
reasonable.
100 acres corn at 50 bushels per acre 5,000
5,000 bnstacln corn at 25 oents..... $1,250
There is land, we learn, near Dr.
Neal's farm, and just as good as his,
that can be purohased at $10 per acre,
and a railroad at the door of thegran
ery, Now if our figuring is reasona
ble, and it is demonstrated to be such
this year, a man could pay for his
land and breaking it, with, the first
crop of corn.
Midland Pacillc Extension.
Dr. Converse, Superintendent, and
Judge Mason, attorney for the road,
were in Brownville on Monday last,
and received the first installment of
Nemaha precinct bonds, $9,200, hav-
mg completed the grading trom
Brownville to the Nemaha river.
A delegation from Salem met the
Superintendent, Attorney and Engi
neer at this place, and, we understand,.
aeuniteiy arranged lorwnat is known
as'the Salem route.
Dr. Converse has just returned from
a business trip to St. Louis and New
York, where, he informs us, he con
burcated arrangements for a hasty
completion of the road from thispoint
to a connection with the A. & N.
road at Salem, and from thence to
Atchison. Here connections are
made, and running agreements enter
ed into, by which direct connections
are made with St. Louis over the Mis
souri Pacifio, and thence east over
leading lines to New York. Also
with the Sante Fe and Galveston road
to tho Gulf. These are valuable and
advantageous connections with St.
Louis and the Gulf, and also with the
Atlantlo &, Pacific to its terminus un
til It reaches Santa Fe, an Indepen
dent connection with Chicago, via St.
Louis, with the Atchison & Santa Fe
line, which is completed to Los An-
gelos, and will be pushed on to Pueb
lo next month, and will give another
lino to Denver, and then will be ex
tended as rapidly as possible to Its
final terminus.
Let the Atchison road bo extended
to Fremont, as we have no doubt it
will be, through the aid of the coun
ties of Lancaster and Dodge, by the
1st of October 187G, and the Midland
extended to Lone Tree or Grand Is
land within the same time, and tho
opening of central and eastern Ne
braska to tho eastern and southern
markets will be complete.
Brownville Schools.
Last week the familiar sound of our
city school bell summoned pupils
from their summer vacation to labor
in the fall term. The juvenile pulse
on that morning was indicative of the
Interest our people feel in the sohools.
From every direction pleasant faces
wended their way to the school build
ing on the hill, where Prof. Rich and
his corps d' armce of assistants re
ceived in tbclr usual and agreeable
manner, and organized their educa
tional army for a new campaign. Tho
Present corps of teachers are
Prof. Wellington Rrich, prlnoipal.
Miss Evelyn Darling, assistant high
school department.
William Tipton and Miss Mary
Maxey, teachers in grammar depart
ment.
Mr. M. E. Hulburd and Miss Frank
Hull, taaohorsin intermediate depart
ment. Mrs. Fanny J. Ebright and Miss
Viola Coffin, teachers in primary de
partment. Miss Darling and Miss Coffin are
new teacherd. The former from Ohio,
the latter from Iowa.
The Brownville schools thus far
have stood as No. 1 in the estimation
of all educators. With Prof. Rich
still at tho head, tho publio may rest
assured they will maintain tho well
earned status.
Sale of Blooded Stock.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Believing it to be to the best inter
est of Nemaha county farmers to pro
mote the raising of graded short-horn
cattle, and knowing that quite a num
ber of our farmers desire to improve
their stock of cattle, I desire to call
attention to tho sale of thorough
breds belonging to Mr. Emory, of
Douglas county, to take place at the
State fair. Mr. Emery has about
twelve head six yearling bulls, and
six heifers and cows that will be sold
at auction on tho third day of the fair.
This will be a good opportunity to ex
amine, compare, and purchase, as
there will bo numerous herds on ex
hibition. Mr. Emery informed me that this
stook will be sold to the highest bid
der, without reserve. I have exam
ined this stock. The animals are not
bloated up with extra feed, but are in
common stock-cattle condition, and
show good breeding, both in size and
quality. War. Daily.
The county commissioners full
board visited the Nemaha City iron
bridge on Monday of this week to see
how near it is to tumbling into the
river. They found the south abut
ment settling and giving way evident
ly, as the top of the abutment is pulled
in toward tho river so that It is about
twenty inches boyond a perpendiou
lar line with tho base. There are
cracks between the stones of tho abut
ment big enough for n rabbit to hide
in. The bridge has moved north some
eight or ten inches from where it was
originally placed ; and the iron rollers
for the accommodation of heat an4
cold, upon which the bridge stands,
are about off of tho iron plates placed
beneath them.
The reason why tho bridge has
moved, and is moving from its orig
inal position, appears to us to be from
the fact that the bridge was not level.
Tho north abutment being lower than
the south one, and the bridge being
on rollers, It of course would move
north, or towards the descent, by the
motion oaused by its use, and so mov
ing would naturally drag the top of
the abutment with it. Or this effect
may have been caused by the settling
of the north abutment. Had the
bridge been set upon perfeotly solid
abutments, and level, it could not
move in any direction more than
it would recover; but being upon rol
lers it must necessarily roll out of po
sition when one abutment becomes
lower than the other.
We believe the commissioners made
arrangements with Mr. Henry Neph
er for securing the bridge until the
abutments can be repaired.
Albert Smith went to Tecumseh
last Sunday, and returned on Monday.
Resolutions Passed by Hope Lodge Xo.
29, A. F. & A.M., on the Death
of R. P. Thompson.
Whereas, In obedience to the will
and dispensation of the Sublime Arch
itect of tho Universe, It is the sad du
ty of this lodge to mourn the loss of
one of its most honored and respected
members, an esteemed and worthy
brother in Masonry, in the death of
brother R. P. Thompson, whose spir
it on the 31st inst., in answer to asum
mons from the Grand Master above,
bade adieu to this fleet and transitory
life, and was raised from this terresti
al lodge to the celestial lodge on high,
where the benificent ruler of the uni
verse presides, and whore death is
known no more.
Jiesolved, That this lodge experien
ces the most profound sorrow, and
sustains a grievous affliction and an
irrepairable loss, in the death of our
worthy brother, whose pure and con
sistent life as a man : whose fidelltv.
devotion and conformity to the sub
lime principles and precepts of our
order, in connection with his spotless
moral character as a man, amiable
disposition, and many excellent and
commendible qualities of head and
heart, constituted him a just and up
right Mason ; one who was beloved by
his fellows and brothers, as well as by
all those who intlmntely knew him,
and by the community in general,
who held him in high esteem for his
exemplary character. We, as mem
bers of this lodgo, and brothers in the
ancient order of Freo and Accepted
Masons, while deeply deploring the
Bad accident whioh has taken him
from amoncst us. will ever strive to
commemorate his virtues and cherish
his memory.

requested to publish these resolutions,
and that a copy of them, attested by

Omaha dispatches report a return
of tho dreaded grasshoppers to Ne
braska, and their ravages in man7
parts of the state. They are said to
be flying south In great numbers. It
is not impossible that a rovisitation of
this plague may destroy the corn crop
In great districts in the west, which
have been congratu'uted on escaping
tho scourge entirely. Till we know
more about the hopper, who will say
that they did not fly away north just
to let things grow up for a great feast
on their return ? Philadelphia Press.
There is another instance of tho re
sults of "Omaha dispatches" that
point being the ouly one, we under
stand, from which associate press re
ports take flight east. Sensational
Omaha newspaper items and tele
graph reports have done more to
write grasshopper and Indian all
over the state than all else combined.
The whole grasshopper raid last sea
son and this, was magnifiod a thou
sand fold by seus.ational newspaper
paragraphists. It is about time to
stop.
Wo can say in truth to the Philadel
phia Press that the "return of the
dreaded grasshopper" has not injur
ed Nebraska the one-hundredth part
as much as freshets andbugs in Penn
sylvania. Do "let us have peace" on
the grasshoppers.

THE INDEPENDENTS.
Their
Convention at Sheridan not
Very Harmonious.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
The Independent, or Church-Howe,
convention, met at Sheridan last Sat
urday. Church Howe, on taking the
chair, announcod that "oure nemies
held a convention last Saturday, and
nominated candidates for the county
offices, and the objeot of this conven
tion Is to nominate men to beat them."
He then announced that at the Re
publican convention any man who
ever voted for an Independent, saw
an Independent, or even smelt an In
dependent, was kicked out. And
now, he says, I see the house orowded
with harpies from the euemie'scamp,
and I do not wish them to advise you,
or speak to you. He then called upon
those who belonged there to take seats
around the stand, and ordered those
who did not belong there to take seats
back near the door. We did not
know but he intended to klok us all
out, but he did not attempt it.
We saw how nice the arrangement
was. When each ballot was tBken he
left the chair and walked around be
tween the delegates and "our enemy,"
and whispered in the ears of the del
egates. We cannot say that he told
them how to voto, for we did not hear
what ho said ; but when the ballot for
treasurer was about to take place he
was in the usual place, but not whis
pering to delegates. An excited dele
gate came to him and said out loud,
"Who shall wo vote for?" Howe re
plied, "Vote as you please! I don't
care!" He then turned to the writer
and explained his indifference by say
ing that "tho Republican candidate
for treasurer was the ono man sure to
be elected."
The amusing part of the affair was
when Mr. Hoagland, of Lafayette, af
ter all the important places on the
ticket were filled, demanded In the
name of the Democrats of Lafaj'etto,
that at least half the candidates
should be what are called "Old Bour
bon Democrats." Several formerly
Republicans said they went into the
new party to save tho country, and
wore very sorry that so small a mat
ter as who should fill the offices
should be oven mentioned. Wm.
Swan said "400 Democrats had united
with 200 Republicans to break up tho
Republican party; and now the 200
Republicans want to fill all the offices
and lot us furnish two-thirds of the
votes. We do not propose to do any
such thing. If we are sold out, we
propose to h ave our pay."
Ono loud-talking politician of Doug
las precinct remarked, "Such a fuss
as this will bust us all to h 1 and
gone."
It is very evident that almost every
representative Democrat kept himself
clear of this convention, as did most
of the best Republicans who were
with tho party one year ago.

at the "country post office." Glad to
see him ; sorry to see him in such
poor health; hope he will call again.
Miss Townsley, of Ohio, a nelce
of Prof. Pierson's, is on a visit to her
uncle, and if she likes Nobraska will
stop all winter. Hoposhe will, as she
is au agreeable young lady.
-n- Mr. H. P. Manning Is quite sick.
Mr. Joseph Dysart is in verj' fee
ble health.
It Is to be hoped no one will take
offence at The Advertiser to the ex
tent of withdrawing patronage and
Influence from It, because of an un
worthy article which unfortunately
blackened its fair pages. Remember
the trials of an editor, and beoharitu
ble. If an attempt had been made to
select a man of tho greatest populari
ty ; the one most generally respected ;
a minister the most honored aud
loved by his people ; the one found
would have been Rev. L. F. Britt.
Superior excellence, of any kind, is
sure to meet with envenomed arrows
from maliciolous, serpent like men
and women. Don't heed tho scurril
lous attaok, Bro. Britt. All the no
tice it deserves is to trample it under
foot.
On the 7th of September Stella
May, infant daughter of Wm. and
Lavina Harris, departed this life,
aged nine months. May theso mourn
ing parents, who loved their little
one so tenderly, ever bow in submis
sion to any providence, however bit
ter the cup, and say, -'Thy will, oh !
God, not mine, be done." May this
affliction draw them nearer to heaven,
and enable them to look through the
"gates ajar" Into tho beautiful land,
where little Stella is gono to be edu
cated with tho angols, and be oomfort
ed with the thought that their angel
child will welcome them to the "bet
ter country" when their timo has
come to ' 'pass over."
How is this? Did not Bro. De
roln say ho was going to leave the last
word for London, mako his bow and
retire? Now, hero he is again, call
ing names and making faces, just like
an irate school boy. But I am glad
he is not strangled to death. Sorry it
had an unpleasant effect upon him.
I am glad he is not crushed beneath
the weight of my "irony.'' Irony
may be allowed in the loftiest Btyle.
But "slang'' cannot bo tolerated
among the polite and refined. I have
many times been reminded.of tho ef
fects of my ironical way of writing ;
h$it for the first time In my life, and I
have written lo, theso many years,
have I been aocused of using "slang.'
and it is untrue now. ItiaawoyBro.
D. has of retorting to an accusation
"You did it yourself." I challenge
him to show ose sentence which I
havo written, that with fair interpre
tation can be called "slang." There
was ono thing you eaid, Bro. D.,
which has aroused Blumberiug recol
lections, and I have lived in the post
ever since. You say : "These asser
tions wero made in tho best of feel
ing, and merely to elicit your witty
replies." Many miles away, and
many years agone, I had a newspaper
controversy with a lawyer on the
woman's rights question. At last he
retirod, saying he always gavo the la
dies the last word. Afterwards he
said ho knew "Jonnetto" was right
all tho time, but liked to hear her
fine arguments and aptanswers. Who
said that "letting the ladie.-i havo the
last word" was falang? I did not. I
have no objection to a "little season
ing of fun in theologioal discussions."
Thank you, Bro. Doroln, for j'our af
fection and expression of my "genuine
Republicanism ;'' nnd you Bay my
"locals are good," but there is "mud'
in the "plagues." Be sure, now, you
are'eertoin where the "mud" is. You
never were more mistaken in your
life than when you think I am over
anxious to convert oppononts over to
my view. I do not care what other
people believe. They have the same
right to their faith I have to mino;
and I wish to respect tho feelings of
"Young America," if ho does "err."

To the Republican Voters of Nemaha
County.
Wo are npon tbo cvo of another election,
and it Is Important that we sorlously consid
er the issues, and so measure our action as
to snbservo our highest Interests. Ourllrst
nlm should always bo to preserve in Its vis
or and strength the Rational Government of
the United States. In no other manner eau
domestic peaco and tranquility, and the
greatest happiness of tho people be secured
or preserved. The loyal people of the Untied
States need no now illustration of this truth.
Tho Republican party has but one oppo
nent. Whatever name tho opposition mny
Assume, whatever disguise it may wear,
it is but the Democratic party. In the ap
proaching national election which occurs on
the centennial anniversary of our indepen
dence, there will bo but tho two parties. It
will bo a contest of great magnitude, and
will Involve issues which wo have too con
fidently believed were forever settled. One
more rout to tho Republican party In 1S76,
such as It sustained in 1371, and tho nation
will pass irrevocably into the hands of the
Democratic party. It is useless to disguiso
tills fact, for both pnrtloa know and fool Its
truth, and both are measuring tho ground
accordingly.
And what have wo to hopofrom such n re
sult? Did tho Government pass Into tho
hands of tho loyal Democracy, our fears
would bo less; but tho unholy alliance ; tho
already alarming ascendency of the lato open
ememles of tho Government in tho national
congress, are calculated to insplro us with a
deep apprehension of danger. That the
next congress will contain eighty-four mem
bcas who recently bore arms against tho Na
tional Government, Is a circumstance of
suchstartllugtmportaucc us should arouso
all Republicans toasenso of tho danger and
of their duty. With tills Increase of mem
bers and representation, their purpose and
sentiments are less concealed, and tho coun
try Is recently Informed that "Nation" is to
them an odious word.
There Is an Intimate connection botween
municipal and Stato elections, nnd elections
for officers under the United States Govern
ment. It is impossible that the majority of
tho States should bo under tho control of
one party, nnd the Xatlonnl Government In
tho control of the other. Thnt party which
fills the most State and municipal offices,
will control the National Government.
Every defeat which a party sustains In a
municipal election, enervates nnd demorali
zes It in all succeeding elections, of whntovor
character. No party can throw off its poli
tics threo years out of four, and maintain Its
vigor unimpaired on tho fourth; nnd the
party which undertakes to do so, with tho
belief that It is harmless, decolves Itself. If
tho principles of one of tho parties are right,
and the other wiong, all offices, from the
highest to tho lowest, should bo filled by men,
not Indeed of a bigoted partisan spirit, but
certainly by men who hold, In their purity,
the correct principles.
Tho besetting evil of tho Republican par
ly, to which Is attrlbutablo Its recontdefent.
is its division. ' It has been perceived by
our opponents, to their infinite pleasure,
and is fanned nnd fed by their malice. Whero
our opponents havo been weak, they have
encouraged dlssonslons "among ui, with a
view to profit thereby. It Is not difficult to
sec that our division has resulted in no good
to ourselves, but has infinitely advanced tho
Interests of our common opponents. "If a
kingdom bo divided against Itself, that king
dom cannot stand," and every Republican
should fool tho truth, that ho that gnthercth
not with tho party scattereth abroad.
Wo address ourselves caly to such as aro
Republicans as against the Democratic par
ty; and to all such wo would respectfully
urge tho duty of prompt and united action
In tho approaching can palgn. Why should
wo longer stultify ourselves by a course of
action which injures tho party to which we
all still profess to belong, and advances tho
interest of an opposition party whose record
and principles we Justly despise? Does nny
one want an office? Let him go intoau hon
orable competition for It in tho Republican
convention. Do you won t honest men put
In nomination? Go into tho convention
and nominate them. Dh you want capable
mon ? Go likewise and nominnto whom you
will. There is room, and there will be a fair
competition for all. No party leador has un
dertaken togivo, what he never had. an oflioe
to his followers; nor will any one be fore
stalled by the arbitrary dictation of any man
whatever, from the pursuit; of any position
which he may desire.
Wo nro pleased to note that thero Is an
nwakonlng and a general "coming home" to
the party going forward In othor local! tie,
and we nro assu real that all Republicans In
Nemaha county will heartily co-oporate in
nominating and electing to the several offi
ces at the coining election hoaest aud eapa
blomon of Republican principles.

Diseases multiply. One;begets another. A

Important to the Traveling Public.
It is the duty of all persons.bcforestartlng
on a Journey to ascertain by what route they
can reach their destination with tho least
trouble, and if there are two or more roads
leading to tholsame point, to decide which is
the safest and pleosantest to travel.
We take pleasure in stating that tho Chi
cago A Noirni-Western Railway Is the
oldest, and several'mlles tbo shortest, route
between Omaha and Chicago. Within the
past two years the road bod has been put In
admirable condition, and almost tho ontlre
lino has been relald with steel rails.
Tho Depot In Chicago Is centrally located,
and as their trains arrive there thirty min

can always be snro of making Eastern con

North-Eastern Iowa, yon should purchase
tickets via Marshcll, Cedar Rapids, or Clin
