The Nebraska City Scivs has re liable information that th-e "hoppers are surely hatching," in Otoe county. We hope it is true, and that we may have such weather as will cause them to hatch out everywhere; but as yet we havo not seen or heard of any young hoppers in this county, and we have taken some pains to look for them about this city in places where icauy eggs are deposited. District Court for this county adjourned for the term last Saturday noon. We presume that the business of the term was well and thoroughly done, from the fact that lawyer?, ju rors, witnesses, litgants, and all, unite in praise of J-udge Pound. If our ob servations are correct, we have never had a District Judge who gave so uni versal satisfaction as he, especially among the members of the bar ; and we .generally form air opinion of a Judge from what the lawyers say of him "after court Is over. " The Juniata Herald urges its readers to ulaiit' trees. This is the best kind of advice, and should be heeded by all cottiers upon prairie lauds. If those who are commencing to make for themselves homes would without delay plant five to ten cres of forest trees, within a few years they would have aburldxnce of fire wood ; and, if they will plant peach and apple trees, the grand blessings of plenty of fruit will be added. Wo have seen tioltonwood sprouts grow within eight or ten years to make a cord of wood. We have planted peach seeds -and within four years thereaf ter gathered delicious, good Blzed peaches from the trees produced from those E'eeds.

Williams, of "War saw, Indiana, accompanied by his wife and little boy, during a trip in the west for the health of Mrs. W. coming close to Brownville in his travels, took the trouble to stop and see us, his friends of auld long syne. This was very gratifying indeed, for we had not seen him since we left Warsaw twenty years ago, and being previous to our separation intimately associated, and before that, school boys together, and knowing him al ways to bo tiue and honorable, thero was no man living would have given us greater pleasure to meet.

By order of Judge Pound, during the late term of the district court, those bonds $78,000 for the recovery of which suit some time ago wtis commenced by the county, were can celled by the district clerk. As there has been much said about those bonds, true and fake, we will give a brief hirtory of them. They tfere voted in 1S7, to aid in construct ing the Brownville and Ft. Kearney railroad through Nemaha county, to m delivered to the railroad company upon the completion of certain work. The bonds were issued and placed in the bands of John L Carson and W. II. Hoover, to be held subject to the order of tlue fount;,'. Thee bond have never been out of the possession of those two trustees, and were deliv ered back to the county and cancel led without resistance or objection from aii3 one. Dr. Converse, nor ai)3T other person, ever received, demand ed, or sought in any manner to get possession of tlitni. The people may realize now the immense amount of bosh and false hood that has been circulated by demagogues about Converse having those bonds, and the terrible lawsuit that would have to be endured by the people to recover them from him. And the balderdash that Church Howe relieved himself of during the campaign by his bombastic declara tions that he would recover those bonds for the people, is also very ap parent. We think the course taken by the county commissioners to have the bonds returned and cancelled by the order of the district court was all right; and although it has cost the county $250.00 attorney's fee, and the costs of suit, still it is better to have thohe bonds wiped out.

FAiiis City, Nov. 24, 1S7G. The all absorbingtopk; here at this time is, shall, or shall not, John Kouutz be hanged, and indeed a large majority of the order-loving people of this couuty hope that his career may be cut short, for they think him guilty of one of the most blood-curdling crimes known to-the law. He is a man of medium height, weighing about 170 pounds, lghthair and complexion, and grey eyes, but in demeanor a stoic of the most se vere kind. He Is said to have been at one timo a Russian soldier, whose time was purchased from that govern ment by his ill-fated frau. The beast in geuteel human form is now on tri al for murdering his wife in June last. There are about fifty witnesses sub poenaed for the State, and about twenty-five for ttie defense. About twenty for the State have been exam ined. The evidence to the jury, coupled with the common reports, shows him to have pursued an inhu man course towards his wife for years past, -frequently beating and threat ening to kill her, and the evidence shows that she, in many cases, left the house and went to neighbors, or wandered about the prairie, and in one case she laid about twenty-four hours at the graves of her three dead children, to escape his terrible wrath. His own children will testify against him, and their evidence, though purely circumstantial, will tend to show that he murdered their mother and then threw her into the river, where her body was found some ten days after, in au advanced stase of decomposition. The trial commenced on the 22d, and probably will not close before the 28th or 30fh. The counsel for the State are J. W. Eller, District Attorney, assisted by Frank Martin and C. Gillespie; for the de fense, A. Schoenheit, Isham Reavis, E. S. Towie, and R. S. Molony, Jr. The counsel for both sides seem to thoroughly understand their business, and, withal, this trial promises to be one of the most interesting ever had in this section of the State. w. s. s.

The election, with all its excite ment, is past and gone, and perhaps it would be well to go back and look the battle-ground over, and see where the n it-takes and the faults have come from. It is well known that this county is now, and always has been, strongly Republican. The vote for the nation al ticket at the last election proves that. And every man who has been elected to any office for years past has been elected 153' Republican votes. And Mr. Church Howe must have known thi; and 3'et, instead of rep resentingjhe part to which he oved his election when he was last in the legislature, he voted for, and done hi best to elect a Democrat to the United States Senate. And now again the people, like a"n indulgent parent, have said 13 their votes that thej' forgive him the first offence, and give him an opportunity to mend his ways and see if he will hot do better next time. Now, we believe if thiyoung rattle headed boy goes to Lincoln and mih iepreeta his parents again, he will catch a whipping next time. Neither cigais nor excuses will save him. It has been said "He that knowetb his master's will and docth it not, shall be beaten with many stripes." De pend upon it, young man, the stripes will sureh jcome. The people, j'our parents, will not be trifled with many times; the3 have only forgiven 3011 this time, hoping that j-ou will here after walk in wisdom's ways, and vote only for a true Republican for U.

THE a HDH K OF h innnn.MVn ofjx Is an independent Republican jour: nal free to do right free to approve honesty or denounce corruption, be cause no political or religious ring or clique owns auy part or parcel in it, and it owes indorsement to no man except to hiui who has acquired the right to be indorsed by discharging his duties well and honestly as a pri vate citizen or a public official. THE ADVERTISER believes in Free Thought, Free Schools, Free Politics, and tho broadest individ ual liberty consistent with the rights of others ; and that every individual South, North, East and West, should be protected in tho enjoyment of those rights by the General Govern ment in obeyance to the guarantees of the National Coustitutiou. AS A LOCAL PAPER, the publishers of THE ADVERTI SER labor assiduously, and with unremitting industry, to make ic a success. Without, prejudice or par tialit3' for or against any particular Mocalities, they desire tho welfare of all ; and anything a newspaper can do for the advancement of the general prosperity, THE ADVERTISER is not only willing, but anxious, to do. Believing in TOWST ahd ooinTRir, and that the prosperity of the one de pends more or less upon the prospeii- ty of the other, we can consistently work for the prosperity of all. As an evidence that we labor to give our readers an honest paper, and the most and greatest variety of read lug matter possible, we invite atten tion to the columns of our paper, and comparison as to quantity and quality, with any other weekly In the State not made up from the matter of dully papers. Our t3pe are all set in our own ofiice, and we. never leave in old advertisements, or other "dead mat- roro "nil up" nndsavo labor. When our advertisements cease to "pay," we set them out and fill up with read ing matter. We do this because it is due our patrons those who support and read ourfpaper, and because we are determined to make a paper that the people will seel: for, and receive full value for the .money invested In it. THE ADVERTISER is about twenty-one years "old, is a fixed insti tution, upon asure foundation. While it has acquired age and stability, it has also ami inula led, from year to year, all the conveniences and facili ties of a number oao News and JOB OFFICE and to keep ic so. we keep it supplied always with the latest and most fash ionable styles of t3pe, which enables us to do as neat job work, of any kind, including pamphlet wort, as any office In tJie west. THE ADVERTISER is only $1.50 a year, invariably, in advance; six months, $1.00; or until after the No vember election, 50 cents. Address, FASRDUGT22EK. & HAC3SER, Browniilc, Nebraska.
