that Bishop Clarkson will be in this
city on Sunday, May 7tb, and will
Jiold's'ervices In, the church morning
and evening.
The farmers are somewhat be
hindhand with their work this
ppring on account of the lingering of
winter in 'the-lap of springs and now
that the old fellow has left that gen

However, it Is hoped that after all big

When a county seat remover tells
you that the county is paying rent
for a building in Brownvillein which
to hold court rind fortho county ofli
cer?. remember that it is false. The
county owns the building in which
our curts are held and the ground it
f-Uiinis ou.
And the story that they tell about
Browiiville going to tax the people to
build a new court house is also false.
uTi n "tax cannot be levied without
an expression of the people in favor
of so doing, hence all the voters will
know It oHleially when such a move
ment is made.

Fays he knows nothing respecting
the guilt or Innocence of Mr. Howe,

speaking cf Rice Eaton he said, 'he is
no slouch, he is sharp as lightning
and positively Insists that he has the
proof in his possession that will as-

The Granger, to spread its ven
om over as much ground as possible,
fees fit to presume that the editor of
TnE Advertiser did not writ the
editorial In our last week's Issue In re
sponse to the quotation, "They will
bear watching." Our neighbor Is
mistaken In this, as usual. Wo wrote
it and without tho suggestion or re
quest of any one, and we alone should
be held responsible for tho article
salt, pepper, and all. Snake like he
equlrms under our lash; and we in
tended be should. Some of the
charges in that editorial we know of
our own personal knowledge others,
those Tegard In g his honor as a busi
ness man, we know, or have reason
to believe, from what his neighbors
and other business men of the city
eay of him. We would not write
such words of any man who in a
reasonable degree deserves tho treat
ment of a gentleman, trueas they are.
His unprovoked attack on Col. Fur
cas, unreasonable and groundless,
shows the anxiety of the contempti
ble skunk to bespatter decent people.
At a very Ellmly attended meet
ing of a lodge of Good Templars out
la Bedford precinct, where Howe
manipulates lodges and things to suit
"-.mself, it was whereased and resolv
ed that they didn't- believe Colin gave
Howe $200 with which to bribe the
revenue officers. Notwithstanding
this alleged belief the strong probab
ility is that Cohn did do that very
"thing. Cohn said he did made it a
matter of talk about town and never
thought of taking it back until Howe
ent to him with an article ready
Written and procured his name to it.
The general opinion of Ihoeeacquaint-
ei wim the attair is tnal uonn-s nrst
tory is tho true ono from the fact
"jai ne repeaiea me same story 10 un
Jerent persons on different occasions,
I but that Howe making him believe
-hey were both in the same boat, in a
criminal sense, induced him to deny
caving Eaid anything about it. Cohn
tlraply denied saying he would lie
forn friend any time. We think he
would not dare to swear that he nev
sraaidthat he gave a check of two
hundred dollar to Church Howe for
the purpose of having Ills cigars re-
'c3ea. jur. cohn would hardly go
before the Clerk of the District Court
arid record an oath that he did not
Ea7 he issued that check. Cohn has
lied shamefully about this matter but
a would hardly swear to it.
Mr. H. C. Butts, expecting to
leave Brownville for Falls City within
a short time, gave his young friends
of the city a nice party on last Tues
day evening. The numerous guests
were splendidly entertained, and all
pronounced It a happy time.
II. A. Hannaford called this week
and renewed his subscription for The
Advertiser, saying that ho had ta
ken it so long nearly the flfth of a
century that he could not po?sibly
think of keeping house without it.
May he live lougto peruse itscolumns,
is the earnest desire of the present
publishers.
A. J. McFall, in company with
several gentlemen from Troy, Ohio,
arrived In this city Monday noon,
and fpent the afternoon in shaking
hands with his many friends here.
But, true to Jack's motto, "business
before pleasure," he was away bright
and early next morning on a trip
through the county canvassing for
the sale of nursery stock for some
eastern nursery. Jack is well known
in this county, and we have no doubt
hi3 sales will be large.

Capt. R. C. Berber, Brownvlllo:
Dear Sir Your favor of February

must suggest you had better apply
your energy and brains at some other
point for the present. This country
is not developed, and should tho In

started within a week, the chances
are we will have all we can do this
summer to fight them. The country
is good in every respect, and I
should be happy to have you with us.

THE BLACK HILLS.
Another Letter from Mr. Loveless
His Party are at Cheyenne
Prospecting. Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.
Cheyenne, April 19, 1S76.
Our party arrived at this place two
weeks ago, all well. Mr. Moore's teams
have made ono 6hort trip with freight,
a distance of 40 miles ; price of freight
75o per 100. For a distance of 190
miles, to Ft. Fetterraan, freight is $4
per 100 ; and from $6 to $7 to tho Black
Hills. The teams oame back to-day.
Part of the road is bad ; weather is
fine now, and the roads are drying up
fast. Mr. Moore has rented a house
for his family, and will freight be
tween this point and some of the
forts north. As far as the Hills are
concerned, we think it best to wait
a while until the roads gel better, and
to see what Crazy Horse and Sitting
Bull accomplish in the coming cam
paign. Reports from the Hills continue
good, with quite encouraging news
from different streams north of Cus
ter. This news is brought by differ
ent parties arriving at Cheyenno dai
ly. Business at this place in very brisk.
The town is alive with men from all
parts of the country, a few of whom
have returned from the Hills discour
aged. This is always ths case in all
new, undeveloped countries. The
Indians are killing some few men,
and are stealing and running offstock.
I believe all parties in and around the
Hills this season will have lively
times. Those who get away from
there with all their hair will do well.
Still, many are leaving this place dai
lv for tho niw rnld fields.
written on their wagons, "BlvSSTfis
or bust eternally." Men will search
for gold If death stared them in the
face. As for Mr. Pascoe, Mr. Sauster,
Mr. Trace from Chicago, and myself,
we will start to-morrow on a prosper
ing trip westof this Place. We have,
since stopping here, taken a short trip
in the mountains, aud brought back
fine specimens of ores and quartz;
some I believe to be rich in silver and
copper, and 6ome little gold. I wish
you and my Nemaha county friends
could see the specimens I brought
back to camp. We ore all in hopes
that ou our next trip we shall be re
warded for our trouble. Tho snow
was too deep, and it snowed nearly
all the time we were out before, there
fore wo could do but little.
A great deal of government freight
is expected here, and freighting will
be high. Sorao soldiers arercbming

per pound; corn, $1.15 per 100; hay,
$15 per ton. All kinds of groceries
are as cheap as with jou in Nemaha
county. How Is that for five hundred
miles west?
Now, as to the lodes I saw when I
was in the mountains tho other day,
they were very fine, but will speak
more froely about them in some fu
ture letter. If things open up in the
Hills, I mean the Powder River and
Big Horn countries, I have no donbt
but many will turn their faces thith
erward. I would like to see that
country; and many I have conversed
with have also changed their minds
since coming to this place.
Well, I will close for this time, but
will try to tell you of my ramblings
In the future when I get to some stop

are all together as when we left

been spoken b' any ono.
Respectfully yours.
