Miss Crater is opening up a splen did assortment of millinery goods on norjh side of Main street, in the building recently occupied by Dr. Hblladoy. Ben. Rogers on Monday made a purchase- of the real estate where Body Bros, have their market house. That is a good prece of property, and we are.gjad that Ben. has faith in the future of our city. Sunday night last we were visit ed by a copious rain and a good, old fashioned thunder storm ; and Mon day morning came out bright and vrarm, all of which will havo'a ten dency to make .vegetation rapidfy spring forth. Notice is hereby Riven that on Tuesday, April 25th, 1S7G, at 1 o'clock r. M., at the ofiice of J. H. Broady, at Browhvilfe, Neb., there will be a .meeting of the stockholders of the Nemaha Driving Park Association for the election of five directors of eaid association. E. Huddart, Pres't. found,' Bwimming in the Mis souri river, from the Missouri Bide op posite Brownville, a light bay horse, left hind, foot whito, collar marks, small white spot iu forehead, about 14 or 15 hands high, and about 10 or 11 years old. The owner can get the horse by calling on Luther Robinson, proving property and paying charges. Our readers will find this number o crowded with matters of local in terest official reports, Normal School history, etc.. etc., as to leave very little room for news from abroad. Our aim, in which we labor most earnest ly, is to make the Advertiser a per fect medium for home news, and for eign news will always be held subor dinate thereto. Elsewhere in our paper, this week, we print a historical sketch of our State Normal School. This ac count was prepared for publication In n Centennial volume to bo issued by the National Bureau of Education, designed to give a comprehensive sketch of the history, nnd present condition of all the Normal SchoolB In this country. Tho peculiar make up, of somo parts of the sketch, is due to the fact that it is written In ac cordance with a sketch plan furniBh- ed by the Bureau. An tho Rkp.tch contains matter of general Iuterest we are please to lay it before our readers Week after next wo will com mence the publication of a thrilling V interesting serial storj entitled: "liachcl: the Miser's Daughter." This story abounds in scenes and incidents 60 well described, and portrayed In such vivid terms, as cannot fall to ab Eorb and please the reader from first to last. We anticipate, that long be fore Its conclusion, our readers will appreciate still more our constant ef fort, in this, as in all else, to give them Q paper fully up to the standard of the eat weeklies, and worthj' not only their present liberal support, but their iindly eflbrts to Increase the same. The Btory will run between three and four mouths, and those desiring a good readlble home newspaper will find this serial story itself fully worth the cost of subscription. The County Commissioners did not decide at their meeting last week to call an election on the county 6eat removal questlou. Will meet again on Tuesday tho ISth to take the matter again Into consideration. The Com missioners will not put the tax-payers of the county to.tho heavy expens es of two or three elections, unless It ehall appear to be' their lawful duty o to do; especially at such a time as this, when the people ate groaning under taxation, and when there is great doubt that these elections are really desired by any considerable number, notwithstanding the peti tions. WuJiin the last week we have heard tbe erpre3s'on f many who favor the Removal sometlxnei but not now not until times get good again, and webe Hftve that a remonstrance against present action by the Commissioners, or in favor of a postponement of the matter, would be aB successful in pro curing signajures a3 the petition for 'emoval has been. Lost A small pocket Album. Th'efiudef willbe rewarded by return ing it to Miss Jennie Hughes. -We learn, that Charles Drain, son of J. H. Drain near Kemaha City, Bled on Tuesday evening of this week. i .nenry jonn u mst tetter euvs ue authorized Church Howe to "pay to the government such amount of loss bb the government had suflered, but that he did not give Howe a $200 check to defray the expenses. That is a terribly thin story. Mr. Livingston, "who resides just west of the cemetery, having first secured the consent of the city coun cil, nas changed the road preparatory to fencing his lota and making gar den. Notwithstanding this there are those who still persist In driving over his garden, and to such he wishes to say that if the act is repeated he will have the offenders arrested. It is with much pleasure we wel come the "London Lispiugs" this week after an interval of time so long. We assure our correspondent of that place that ner weekly items of news and genial thought have been greatly missed by us and our readers. We have been grieved to hear of her poor health, and are glad she is able again to greet ub, hoping her recovery may be speedy and permanent. The Granger says the Kearney Press is aided by "The Advertiser and one or two other papers," when the truth is every respectable, unsub sidized pap'er in the State speaks bold ly its belief in Howe's corruption. The North Platte Republican, in con firmation of this truth, says: Church Howe is about the worst thumped and pummeled man in the State. All along the line the State press are "ventilating the littleness of his impecunious and miserly soul. If the Kearney Press1 charges result in no other good than in securing the ventilation of the real and infinitesi mal character of thia wart on tho Grange body politic, brother Eaton may rest his soul in peace. On last Thursday evening we had the pleasure of attending the dramatio entertainment in McPher son Hall, given under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias. To say that we were delighted but feebly express es our feelings on that occasion. It is not too much to say that the occasion in all ltd E3pecta and surroundings was the most felicitous that ever oc curred in our city. It was made so by the happy selection of subjects, the cast or characters, the perfect and most agreeablejmanner in which each player performed his or her part, showing admirable artistic aptness in grasping and illustrating the faults, follies, impulses and emotions that characterize human nature in social life, and as illustrated in "Every body's Friend." A stranger would have supposed that the performers were old experienced comedians, so well did they bear themselves, We have heard various opinions expressed as to who carried their characters best, especially of the lady performers, but have not heard any two persons agree, thus leaving us in doubt as to who was tho favorite of the players, if there was one more ad mired than another, which wo do not believe. The hall was crowded with appreciative spectators, who frequent ly manifested their genuine admira tion at the manner this club, their neighbors and friends, were acquit ting themselves. The talle'ut dis played gives us & fet'ling of pride that we have such in our city, and we ex press the feeling of our citizens gener ally by hoping this same club will prepare itself for another entertain ment during the summer.

The Dramatic Entertainment. Editor Nebraska Adveitlser. Permit one who witnessed, greatly admired and enjoyed, to speak a word commendatory of the artistlo rendi tion of "Everybody's Friend" by the Brownvllle Amateur Dramatic Asso ciation, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, at McPherson Hall, Thurfday evening last. As in our home musical entertain ments frequently given, this exhibl bition demonstrates that as well in dramatio performance we need not go abroad for genuine talent. Our musi cal exhibitions have been pronounced by the critical and experienced com plete successes. Of this first dramat ic effort the same may be truthfully said. In fact, on old established boards, and by experienced and pro fessional nctors, the play in question has seldom, if ever, been better ren dered than by the Brownvllle club. Every part was performed with ad mirable accuracy and perfection. There was, on the part of eaoh partic ipant, perfect self-reliance, compos ure, comprehension of the play, ele gant bearing of the person, pure pro nunciation and emphasis. While ev ery actbr and actress acquitted them selves with gfedt credit, the acting of Mrs. Huddart was extraordinary, and merits special mention. The skill she exhibited gave undeniable evidence of superior natural gift, worthy of cultivation. The oharacter and size of the house, order and profound attention, was the best of evidence that the perform ance was highly appreciated. Every body went to hear "Everybody's Friend," and everybody went away delighted. Admirer. Mrs. M. G. Cook is receiving her spring stock of millinery goods, and would invite the ladles of Brownvllle and vicinity to give her a call and ex amine her stock of millinery and fancy goods, and every thing in that line; and would ask them for a liber al share of their patronage. Particu lar attdntion paid to dress making and dress trimming. Will be fonnd at her old stand at the foot of College street. Miss A. H. Crater has ppened a millinery and fancy story, north side Main street, near Carson's bank. She is an experienced milliner; buys her, goods in New York, and will sell cheaper than you can imagine.

It was my delight to spend a few hours with my Johnson friends last Thursday. I was invited to witness the public exhibition which the peo ple had prepared after a great deal of time and labor. It is common to think that tho country people, hav ing no especial advantages, cannot get up more than an ordinary school ex hibition. But this wassurely not the case at Johnson. Their exercises throughout, consisting of singing, es says, dialogues, recitations, &c., were carefully prepared. WhllsE I can praise all, still some executed their parts better than others, owing, in a certain degree, to the position of the performers. Tho singing was good. The essays of Laura and Hannah Snodgrass evinced careful prepara tion and originality of thought. Jud Wright, as a candidate for; congress, made us think of the average con gressman, saying much, yet nothing. Price Snodgrass and Charles Mangon did themselves justice as negro actors. The dialogues were well selected and finely rendered. I could speak of ev ery performer, but your Bpace being valuable I will only say thateachand every one acted their various parts well. Too much praise cannot be given to Gadis Hagemau, the leader of the exhibition. . Bailey Herald'. FINANCIAL EXHIBIT. Report of IT. T. Rogers as Cify Treas urer, made to the City Council.

The exercises without exception were good, and the stage attractive. The audience was fair, notwithstanding the stormy night. Had the weather,been favora ble the bouse would have been filled. Cheerful faces -and an occasional hearty laugh told us our.'friends were pleased. Closing exercise, a tableau. Yours gratefully, Anson Burdick.

All per sons who wish anythiug Jn.that line of business will do well to go there. J. M. Campbell returned from the east a few days since. He has pur chased a large stock of goods which he proposes to sell a's cheap as nny store in the county. Quite a number of persons Jn this vicinity are making preparations to start for the Black Hills soon. We hope their "great expectations" may all be realized. We have often heard people com plain of the length of a road, and sometimes of their breadth, but the trouble here, for Eometime past, has been their depth. The farmers here are busy put ting in their spring grain; although the season is very bankward almost every one seems to anticipate good crops. Speaking of loafers reminds us that Howard is afllicted with a few; and the worst of it is that they are mostly boys and young men. Come boys remember that loafing around town never made a man of any one yet. The way to correct an evil is to commence at its roots. If the people wish to reform politics and to secure honest public officers they must at tend the primary meetings, and see that such men are selected as dele gates as will represent the real wish of tho people. It seems to us to be a poor policy to stay at homo and take no part !n the s'electiug of candidates ami then complain becauso bad men get elected to ofiice. Glen Ttoclz 3Sews. Fruit prospeot splendid; budsall right. Our mouth waters for a taste of the fine peaches we may expect this year. , . This'befng the centennial year, we hope to have the heaviest crops of cereals, grain and fruit, that Nebras ka ever had. Farmers are in earnest putting in grain, trusting to the earth to yield her increase. We had a nice little scandal case a few daj-s ago uncle and niece. An officer of justice went after the uncle and found him absent; gone to parts unknown ; did not leave a lock of halrbehind. Wm. Bunford, tho blacksmith, is at work again, and hopes to see his old friends at the forge. Like the shoemaker at his last, Bunford can bo fouud at his anvil.

Yes, reader, I .have been an In valid for more than half a year; not able to write a word for the.dear old Advertiser. And more, Dr. Holla day says I must put aside my pen and not read and write fso much. (You know I said I would tell on you Dr.) It is a bitter pill, you see, yet a wise prescription, I expect. Ho says knit and sew a little; visit, travel about, come down out of tho ideal into the real; and more than all, get a spin ning wheel! I do believe that i3 a centennial prescription. Well, there is poetry in a spinning wheel. Did I not make it plain to Bro. Sheridan that there is poetry every where? Has not the spinning wheel been Immor talized In song? Have we not heard of "Jennie and thespinning wheel?" So I must come on the stage in a new character that of a lady farmer, I gdess, which is not altogether new, either. How- much I will be able to write for The Advertiser will be seen as the future unfolds my destiny.
