LOCAL 31ATTEJIS. -. Mrs. J. 13. Hoover, we regret to learn Js still in very poor health. . C. W. Lambetb. ngent for Fowl er's celebrated Fly Fan gave us a call . on Wednesday. , A child about nine months old, -oT Mr. E. dimming, of Nemaha .precinct, died last week. Recently a son of Mr. Charles ' JJinghara, of Lafayetto precinct, was thrown from a horse and had.his arm broken. Nemaha county was blessed with epleudid rains on Funday night and Monday forenoon. Tall corn and big potatoes. Read the synopsis of Hendrlck's speech on the outside of this paper, and j'ou can gather a pretty fair idea of his war record. ReadTHe article headed "Sammy -Tllden'a War Record." More con vincing ovidence that ho was a seces sionist in principle, no reasonable man could desire. Littlo Mabel, daughter of W. 8. Jlark, Nemaha City, who has been very sick for some time, wo are pleas ed to learn, is much better and con sidered out of danger. This will be most comforting and gratifying news to the father, who is on duty as a olerk at the headquarters of the Cen tennial Guards, Philadelphia. - On. Wednesday we saw what we liaVe not seen on ourstreets for a long timo, a regular old fashioned yoke of - oxen under tho yoke, hitched to a klvcrrod. wagon, moving slowly west--tfarv The driver was sitting in front " by his woman, with his feet on the hounds, and ho said "gee now, gee now," just as they used to in Indiana. On Wednesday of this week Mr. ". ;. P. Cogswell removed from this oity to Falls City, whero he has pur chased a livery stable and the railroad transfer. Mr. Cogswell is an old citi y.en here, has done much for our city, iacnterprlsing, esteemed by all, and wo regret to lose him. Yet wo con gratulate him upon his acquisition of u good business, and we wish for him as an old esteemed friend, uulimited prosperity. The Republican Club was well attended on last Saturday oveniug. Judge Stull made the speech of the evening, and it was a telling one. Much enthusiasm prevailed, demon strating that the Republican boys ate waking up. Everything Is lovely and Republican principles are in tho as cendancy. Republicans, be vigilant, and attend every meeting of theClub. . Next Saturday night we will have a good time again. " That old renegade and salary grabber, Tipton, on last Saturday night made a speech in favor of that old'ballot-boxfctuffer, Tammany thief, railroad wrecker, bond embezzler, silk stocking railroad lawyer, rebel sym pathizer Tilden. Did anyone ever ,aee the "eternal fitness of things" more truly illustrated. When such a man as Tipton supports such a man as TUdcn, there is a consistency In it -truly gratifying. On Tuesday night the Democracy had a little meeting atMinick's school hoqse. Three Brownvilie speakers present made the assertion, as we are 'informed by one who heard tiiem, 'that the revenue of this government , wan not sufficient to pay tho expens es. When men maku such barofaced -' cjiud fatee assertions, they must think their auditors fools. Men can btand up ajid lie, and assert anything, when they liavo not a figure nor u fact to prove a word they say. Tbe truth is the government under Grant has paid its expenses and reduced the govern ment debt monthly from four million to five millions of dollars, and those . prowuvillc haranguers know it well. saBsasaaasgaHBBHHUMiiE Fowler's Fly Fan is on ealo at Roy's furniture store. They are eaid to bo a good thing. Call and see them. Mr. Levi Johnson, Mayor of Ke mnha City, gives notice to those in terested that work will bo done on the Nemaha Cemetary grounds next Saturday. Rev. L. F. Erltt furnishes us with auother very interesting letter from Salt Lake, which will appear next week. Mr. JJritt's universal popularity, especially in this county, where he is so well known, insures that. his communications will bo uni versally read and admired. Our Democratic friends are mak ing the assertion in Brownvilie that the rovenueB of this government are not sufficient to pay its expenses. They say this right in the face of the fact that every year since 1S66 this government has not only paid all its expenses, all the interest on the enor mous debt contracted to suppress the Democratic rebellion, but at the same time lias paid off from 50 to 75 mil lions of tbe principal of that dobt an nually. Wo meant precisely what we said last week about Tilden soldiers. Wehltsomeof them they are known by tho way they squirm. The her maphrodite across tho road, just as wo intended, did not like it at all. Get tbe article and read it and don't believe what others are telling, be cause they lie. You will endorse every word If 3ou were a Union soldier, be cause you loved your country. But if you are now mustering with those fel lows who then trailed the stars and Btripes In the dirt and mustered un der the stars and bars, and those fel lows who rejoiced over rebel victories, and those fellows who wanted to com promise with traitors we say, if that Is the crowd you are now in with, you are no reformer, never was much of a soldier, aad if you over had any lojr- alt3T to the old flag it was as unsub stantial as the morning dew and as transitory as a spring mushroom. As evidences of tho prolific re sources of tho soil and climate of .Southern Nebraska wo mako the fol lowing record for our wondering read ers to ponder over : Mr. Jason K'es, of Bedford pre cinot, this county, has a pullet, hatched in tho month of February last which has laid thirteen eggs and hatched twelve of them on the 19th day of August. Now, isn't she a nice little hen? Mr. J. M. Wheeler, living in Rich ardson county, near the Nemaha line, has a sow that brought forth, a few days ago, a litter of nineteen pigs. Mr. C. S. Gillespie, living on a Mis souri bottom farm, about three miles below this city, brought a stalk of corn to town this week, grown on his farm, which measured exactly four teen feet in length, and which sported an ear of com just eight fee t from the but of tbe stalk. Now, if anybody has anything that will beat these things, or any other product to report, wonderful or curi ous, we will be gratified to give the same publicity. When you hear one of those Til den fellows harping on corruption, and reform, just tako a good look at him look at what he has been and what he is now, and you will find that he has been engaged in some sus picious business, such as a railroad wrecker on a small scale ; or a viisap- j)licr of other peoples' money ; or a sorehead, angry because tho people will not trust him with an office, or an "out" whose highest ambition and most exalted principle is to manege to get "in ;" or a fellow who must be a Tilden man because the J'raht says he must; or else he's an ignoramus and whines about reform because he has heard somebody else whining about it, and has only brains enough to ape and immitato some more cun ning knave. Sometimes several of these Democratic virtues are found in tho eame individual. They can be seen daily sitting around on pine box es in front of the stores, and aro al ways ready to commence boring with their littlo augers every decent person that comes along, and their theme is "Corruption! corruption!" As we said, their characters and motives will not bear close inspection, for they are notoriously of that class mosfrsuscep tible of corrupt practices, and would steal tho country bankrupt had they a chanco to do so ; but they aro not at all dangerous because they will not be trusted. About four weeks ago a man came to this city haviug In his pos session a spau of horses, bnt of which. judging by his actions, he was not the lawful owner. After being about the city a short time he undertook to sell the horses and did sell them, or bar gain them away one to Fred August and the other to R F. Barrett. To August he gave his name as Commo dore Perry, and to Barrett as John Henry. August paid him $30 for the animal he purchased, and Barrett $15 for his. When the purchasers of the horses camo to learn from each other that the fellow couldn'tremember his name very well, they thought there might be something wrong about the title to the horses, and they sought out and did fin the eaid John Henry Commodore Perry and demanded their money back. Ho made no ob jections, but handed the money right back. He wont to the resideuce of Mr, AugUBt and gave Mrs. August the $30 doolars, and then stepping out ho broke and run out among the blufld and that was tho last that has been seen or heard of him. As it is generally "put up," that "the guilty lice when no man pursueth," and as nobody was after John Hunry, etc, that anybodv knows of, and as he j was not oven accused or threatened it was thought he must be a horsethief. Before his sudden departure he did not demaud tho return, of the horses, nor indicate what ho desired done with them, hence they are still in the possession of August and Barrett. As it may assist some poor fellow to re cover his horses we will describe them as well aa we can : The animal Au gust has is a bay mare said to be about ten years old, medium sizo. Barrett's is a brown young stallion. Wo have not seen this horso and cannot de scribe him more accurately. Mr. August has consulted an attor ney as to what he had better do with tho mare, but is in doubt, because there appears to bo no statute provid ing for such a case.

Report of tho Judges Appointed the Plow Trial held at Grant, August 12th, 1S7G. at Editor Nebraska Advertiser: It was the intention of the commit tee to test each plow as to quality of of work and also as to draft, but ow ing to the scales not working satisfac torily the test was made as to quality of work only. The following were tbe plows entered for trial : No. 1 Pearl gang plow, and two 12 inch plows, by Richards & Smith, of Brownvilie. No. 2 Crosley lG-inchsulkey plow, by Wm. Horrum, of Grant. No. 3 John Dooro 1R.!isl oullioj. plow, entered by J. M. Patrick, of Graut. No. 4 "Crosley gang, and two 12 inch plows, entered by Hawley & Douglas, of Brownvilie. No. 5 Skinner gong, and two 12- inch plows, entered by Geo. Smith, of Johnson county. No. 6 Furst & Bradley lG-inch sul key plow, entered by H. Childs, of Johnson county. No. 7 Skin ner 16-Inch sulkey plow, entered by Clark Puffer, of Otoe county. No. 8 Crosley lG-inch sulkey plow, entered by Henry Ewau, of Grant. No. 9 Furst & Bradley lG-inch sul key plow, entered by John Osborn, of Otoe county. No. 10 Block gang and sulkey plow, and one 14-inch plow, entered by R. V. Black, of Grant. No. 11 Crosley 16-inch sulkey plow, entered by Milo Elliot, of Otoe coun ty. No. 12 Read iron-beam walking 10-inch plow, entered by WisuerPlow Co., Nebraska City. No. 13 Reed iron-beam walking 15-inch plow, entered by Louis Cal vin, of Grant. Tho first trial was in a field which had lain fallow for the past year and was thickly covered with a very rauk growth of fire-weeds. It was a very difficult piece to plow. They were next tried for a short timo on a piece of stubble laud. Tho committee awarded the first preference to the John Deere sulkey plow ; the second to tho Crosley sulkey plow ; the third to the Skinner gang plow. Although nearly all did their work in a very satisfactory manner. The Skinner was the only gang plow that was in a suitable condition for work, tho other two being new from the shop and not scouring sufficiently well ; but we are of the opinion that when In order they would work equally well. The Reed iron-beam was the only walking plow entered for trial. It did Its work In a very satisfactory manner, turn iug the weeds under nearly as well as tho sulkey plows, and that without either chain or hook attacked. We are" of tho opinion that in ordinary plowing it would do as good work as any sulkey plow, and the draft be considerably less, two horses seeming to work with as muoh ease to It as three to the sulkey plows. We would especially recommend it to the atten tion of farmers. Ciias. Blodoett, 1 David Wilkie, p. J. B. Elliott, C.,m W. Caldwell, mi"ee.

CHICAGO MARKETS, "Wheat Is reported quiet and easy, but firm. The market opened on Sat urday 40 lower than the previous ev ening. The British markets were quoted firmer, with only moderate ar rivals off coast, and New York was in light request but firmly held, while the weekly statement shows that the stocks in store in Chicago have de creased about 17S.000 bushels since the previous Saturday. Thore was rather a good demand for ca3h wheat, in cluding No. 2, the good condition of tho wheat taken out of store during the past two or three da3's giving more confidence to buyers. Tho receipts of old wheat has nearly fallen off to ze ro. Those of new wheat are slowly increasing, nnd so parties expect that the receipts will bo largo within a couple of weeks, while others say that farmers will not be willing to sell without a material rise in quota tions. No. 2 sold at SSS9e, new at 90c. Corn unusually quiet, and declined c from the latest prices of Friday, though reported steady in Liverpool and unchanged in New York. Salts were reported of 49,800 bushels high mixed at 44(45. Oats were active, opening firm at an advance of c, but subsequently de clining o owing to the large re ceipts. Tho stock in store also in creased during the week about 52,000 bushels. The grain is very light, and samples which were otherwise in con dition to pass as No. 2 do not weigh over 28 lb3 to tho measured bushel. Sales are reported of 10,600 bushels No?2at3031c. Rye receipts wero fair qnd the of ferings large, and tho market quoted firm. No. 2 sold at 52553c, and No. 4 at 46c. Borley was quiet, tho receipts being small, and tho shipments for the past week exceeding the receipts for the same time by about 14,000 bushels. No. 2, new, declined lc, selling at 69jc; new No. 3 was nominal at 50c, and old at 35c. Cattle have advanced during the week 2535c in shipping beeves, nnd 2550c in butchers' stuff. As this Bbarp advance was mainly If not wholly tho result of light receipts, and as tho relatively high prices now ruling can scarcely result otherwise than in greatly augmenting tho sup plies, an early reaction is almost in evitable. The prevailing figures wero $-1.004.S5 for common tochoiceship ping steers; $3.003.75 for Colorado. The hog tradeopened dull, with pri ces showing a downward tendency. The depression was greatest in heavy grades. Up to the cioso of business on Thursday there had been a reduc tion in packing hogs of fully 2530c per 100, and in light weights of 510o. Under tho materially diminished re ceipts of Friday and Saturday all the decline in light, and about 5c of tho decline in heavy weights were recov ered, closing quotations being for the former $G.20G.35t and for the latter $o.75G.10 for common to prime.
