thanks to the Body Bros, who take
pride in furnishing everything in the
line of meats that the country affords.

Treasurer Gilmore inform us
that the people are responding very
promptly to his call for payment of
taxes on personal property. Iu view
of the effort being made, apparently
by everybody, to pa3 the treasurer
will further continue his indulgence
for a few days. Meantime let every
one square up their taxes, if within
their power to do so. Mr. Gilmore is
nisposed to be as lenient as he possi
bly can be, conscientiously, iu his of
ficial capacity.
The county commissioners met
last Saturday and commenced suit in
the district court for the restoration
to the county of the bouds, amount
ing to $GS,000. issued as aid to the
Brownville & Ft. K. R. R., and held
by agreemeut by J no. L. Carson and
Win. H. Hoover. These bonds are
the balauce of the $118,000 voted by
the county some years ago to suid
road. $40,000 of which were delivered
to the company when the first ten
miles of the road were completed.
We are pleased to announce that
R. A. Hawley and D E. Douglas
have formed a copartnership as deal
ers in farm implements and agricul
tural machinery. We predict that
Hawley & Douglas will make a stiff
firm, and be general favorites with
the farmers of the county. Already
has this firm drawn trade to this city
that has heretofore gone to Nebraska
City, and now that they have their
new otlice built, and a large stock of
goods on hands, we prediot for them
a heavy trade.
The proceedings of the Institute
at Rosefleid school house, reached us
too late for last week's issue, is matter
entirety too old for publication now,
considering the short distance it had
to travel to reach u, and the time it
had after the eloe of the Institute.
We decline all buch matter after it
hHS become a week or two old. The
Secretary bhould have been more
p ompt in making up and forwarding
bis manuscript.
We are always pleased to publish
such matter if furnished us while
new.
The Saunders House dinners are
proverbial as thenar excellence of ev
erything that's good. Harry Ford
would Huicide himself if he made a
failure on an occasion of this kind.
St. Joe Herald,
We reprint the above for the bene
fit of our readers who may visit St.
Joe. We always stop at the Saunders
Houe, and have always found the
fare and all the appointments of the
house to be of tbe best character ; and
the landlords, clerks aud attendants
are pleasant, courteous and accomo
dating, and leave nothing undone,
that should be done to make their
gijcstacnuifornhlt.
As our paper is about ready for
tho press we receive the sorrowful
news of the death of Dr. F. G.
Holmes, residence near Nemaha City.
The Doctor was in poor heal t h for
some mouths, but he was not consid
ered dangerously ill until ibout ten
days ago. He breathed his last on
Tuesday evening the 28th Inst., at 10
o'clock, aged 48. Dr. Holmes was a
citizen of this county about nineteen
years, and was well known and uni
versally esteemed. The ebtimable
family of deceased have our unftigned
sympathy. A more extended notice
of his life and death will be published
hereafter.
E. W.Thomas, Eq. is circulat
ing within the city a petition asking
Governor Garber to commute the
penalty of Dodge, one of the murder
ers of a man named McGuire, to im
prisonment for life. Dodge is now
under sentence of death. Notwith
standing our opinion that he Is guilty
of cold blooded murder, we sigued
the petition. We did it because we
do not believe iu capital punishment,
und regard the death penalty as a per
petuation of a barbarous law. Tlose
who desire to subscribe to such prin
ciple, and in so bold a manner identi
fy themselves with it, can do so by
calling at Mr. Thomas' office.
Leavitt's Bell Ringers gave
exhibitions iu this city on last Friday
and Saturday evenings. This is one
of the most interesting little shows
we ever attended. The bell ringing is
splendid, the singing good, butEads,
in bis comical characters, just knocks
the socks off of any funny man" in the
world we believe. It is the general
opinion that he excels Alf. Burnett,
and if ho does that he will "do" to'
travel." He is irresistibly funny and
the ofdest man, the most sechtte or
stoical had better loosen up their vests
and waistbands before they seat them
selves In front of him to witness hia
IpTcessIvely ludicrous performances.
One of the happiest parties we
have attended for many a day was
that given by the Bennetts near Ne
maha Citv on Christmas eve. Our
pleasure was greatly enhanced by
meeting many old friends there
whom we do not frequently see. There
were from fifty to seventy ladies and
gentlemen present, and all enjoyed
themselves in the giddy mazes of the
dance until nearly the dawn of the
morning. Mr. John Summers and
Henry Westfall furnished the muBic.
They are pleasant gentlemen and good
violinists, and just suit such a crowd
of pleasure seekers for they will "stay
with the boys," and girls too, for that
matter, and play'the fiddle all night
if desired to do so. And the supper
we must not forget that, for there was
no feature of the occassion that we
enjoyed so well as Mrs. Bennett's de
licious coffee and cake and other
good things of the richly furnished
tables. We return thanks to all for
the courtesies and kindness shown us,
and hope to enjoy many more such
occasions with our friends whom we
met there.
A man named Steele, who resides
we understand, near Ppru, came to
Brownville last week and got on a
drunk. On leaving town, when near
the old distillery his horses ran away
and one of them running against a
tree was killed. When the team and
tree collided, the wagon was smashed
into pieces and the driver left lying
limp and senseless beneath the de
bris. The surviving horse, somewhat
damaged, was caught at 'Squire Ken
nedy's. A passing citizen seeing the
dead horse, the ruin of the wagon,
and a rather dilapidated image of G"d
lying in the midst, dead to all appear
ance, haFtened on to town, and in
formed Marshal MoCabe nf the mat
ter, when themnrshal with Dr. Crane,
speedily repaired to the scene of the
tragedy. Carefully removing the
splinters and broken wagon from the
image, it was found, sure enough to
be dead drunk ; but otherwise was
very little hurt, and after lying in the
city calaboose all night was able to
maintain again an upright attitude,
and went home feeling very mean for
having made such a fool of himself.
We did not receive the Peru
items last week until Wednesday ev
ening after our paper was printed.
So, of course, they were too late. We
insert this week, euch of the items as
are appropriate.
Correspondents would do well to re
member that we go to press always on
J Wednesday, and try to get our matter
ready by noon of that day. There
fore, communications, letters, aud all
matters of considerable length, should
reach us on Tuesday eveuiugor Wed
nesday morning at the latest. Im
portant legal advertisements or other
brief matters of importance are admit
sible at any time before going to press,
but it would greatly accommodate us
to receive all matter for the paper on
Tuesday.
Wereoeivo our Peru mail daily. In
the evening ; so correspondence for
our paper'from that direction should
be mailed ou or before Tuesday. The
same rule will applyJlo. correspondeiicet
from Nemaha City, Aspinwall and
St. Deroin matter intended for our
paper, from either of the directions
named, if mailed ou Wedneseay, will
reach us loo late for publication that
week.
There have been three shooting
matches in the vicinity of Brownville
since our 'last issue. On Thursday
last a match came off near Home
wood's mill, and out of IS turkeys
shot for the Brownville boys got
nway with 12; seven of which were
won by W. T. Craddock, John Moore,
and Jim Cochran 3 ; the other names
we did not get.
At Nemaha City, last Friday, only
six turkeys were shot for, and the
Brownville markbmen present. Tnks,
Cochran and Moore, won all of them.
Brownville seems able io "wear the
belt," unless better marksmen can be
scared up in the couutry than has
been so far.
On Christmas day a malch came off
on the Brownville grounds, at which
home excellent shooting was done.
Bowen won on four consecutive shots.
and Henry Brown, the colored man,
made his first good shooting at the
matches winning on five consecu
tive shots, the furthest shot'beiug not
more than thtee-fourlha of an inch
from centre. Jim Cochran ami Mat.
Alderman each won three turkeys,
and Mr. Moore got one.
There is another maich at Brown
ville to-day (Thursday), at the usual
place below town.
Grant Clover, of Nemaha City,
and Thorn. Christian , of Steven's sa
loon, this city, had not good fortune
favored them on their return from
Bennett's dance last Saturday morn
iug, would have furnished usa fright
ful accident to chronicle. It was rath
er thrilling and scary the way it was.
The boys, with three ladies iu Ben.
Roger's covered spriug wagon, about
four o'olock in the morning and it
was very dark started for borne, and
were on the west embankment ap
proach of the bridge across the slough
at S. Howe's place, when the horses
stepping out of the road the carriage
upset and rolled down the embank
ment about twenty feet. The carriage
canvass' being well buttoned down,
the occupants were secure enough in
side. The horses becoming frighten
ed, tore loose from the driver, and
ran awajT; the top of the carriage
comiugoff was left behind, thus sav
ing the cooped -up occupants from be
ing killed or badly hurt. But as it
was none received worse hurts than
slight scratches or bruises, though one
of the girls insisted for a while that
her nck was broke. The horses
were found next day mired in the
slough two or three hundred yards
from the place of the upset. They
were all rlghtsave being badly" chilled
by remaining in the mud aud water
for several hours. The carriage was
considerably damaged, but not so
badly as" It nihjhi' have been had the
i horses not bo soon and suddenly been
brought to a halt by the swamp.
Tt will not be improper hero to say
that the' approaches to the bridge
above alla'ded to are entirely too nar
row, nothing near the width that the
law requires roads to be. They are
barely of sufficient width for one
wagon to pass, and therefore damages
that any onn might sustain on ac
count of the embankment, either In
person or property, would be recover
able from the county. The commis
sioners Bhould see that these ap
proaches are widened.

Tho Week of Prayer.
The first week in January has come
to be very generally observed by the
evangelical churches as a season of
speoial prayer. The appointment is
likely to be more generally noticed
the coming season than heretofore.
The widely diffused desire and expec
tation of a special work of grace will
have the effect to lead to more diligent
use of the means of grace, both com
mon and special. The Evangelical
Alliance have sent out their annual
suggestion of topics for prayer during
the first week of 1876.

There are no murders or suicides

Peru schools ail closed Wednes
day of last week for a two weeks va
cation. Miss Alice Daily who has been
teaching at North Platte, is at home
for the holidays.
Miss Ida PInnell has been quite
sick with scarlet fever. We are glad
to learn she is getting better.
Mr. Parrot, living two miles
north of town, recently burried two
children in one week from scarlet fe
ver. We trust the rest of hb family
will recover.
We have n earnest, working,
christian minister, a solid temperance
man, and we believe he will be the
means of doingmuch good here. May
success attend him.
We have some very bad boys in
town. They don't care what they
do. We think some of them are pre
paring lo learn a trade at the state's
expense some day.
Mr. Gaede had to move his house
out of the way of the railroad. A

a roll of greenbacks amounting to
near $G0 tucked carelessly in his

for you, friend Patterson; bo more
careful in future.
Sheridan Short-Stops,
Health of the place good. Sev
eral whom we mentioned as sick are
nearly or quite recovered.
Quite a lot of hogs have been
weighed at Sheridan iu the last few
days ; some fat hogs for Baily, and
stock hogs for J. C. Deuser.
If the weather should be cold
about the last of this week, there will
be a man.at Sheridan to pay cash for
all the chickens, turkeys, geese, and
game of all kinds that can be bought.
Wesley Dundas received more
money for goods last week than in
any one week for several years. We
would not thiuk from this that peo
ple were near as bad off in Nemaha
county as had been supposed.
We wish there were more hogs
in the county, as the grasshopper raid
introduced a'new kind of corn here
tofore unknown In this locality, very
good "to feed hogs, but not pood to
.market; iMs known as the soft corn.
After being without a black
smith for some time we are to have
one the balance of the winter. There
