-. 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.

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.

THE PLOWING MATCH.
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.

"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
