Xemaha City Cemetery. At a meeting of the Nemaha City Cemetery Association last Saturday the Trustees were authorized to clear off, survey, appraise and sell lots, and to build an iron post and wire fence around the cemetery grounds. Ac cordingly, Saturday the 27th inst. was fixed as the day for clearins and pre paring ground for surveying and lot ting; and the following Saturday, (May 4tb) to put up the fence.

A. William son, of the general land office, the date of sale of the Pawnee lauds has been changed from June 17th to July loth.

Iowa parties propose to erect a woolen mill at or near Seward, If the Sewardites will lend a helping hand to the amount of $4,000, said mill to operate from 200 to 300 spindles and three to five looms, and be capable of turning out 1,500 yards of flannel, 600 yards of jeans, 1,000 yards of cloth and 1,500 pounds of yarn per month. The writer of an article In -the "IVestern-JCUTut says': ' As a general thing my experience tells me that if hired men are well treated they will do a fair day's work, and will do more than if they are made to feel that they are simply la boring machines and nothing else. Of course hired people should be well treated. If employers cannot treat them well because of noble and humane principles, those of a selfish nature should lead them to do so. Under an act of Congress of March 9, 1S7S. widows of soldiers of the war of 1S12 are entitled to a pen sion without regard to the date of their marriage, provided they have not been re-married. There are a number of widows in this county who will be entitled to a pension under this act at the rate of $8 per month. The act also restores to the pension rolls such as have been suspended on account of participation in the rebel lion, and also grants pensions to such soiaiers, or tneir widows, as were in any engagement of the war of 1S12, without regard to the length of the service. The Nebraska City JVei3 of last Saturday says : There was considerable loud talk ing and excitement yesterday at the court house, when the petit jury.who had been discharged, stepped forward to the clerk's desk, and asked for their certificates of pay .and who were politely informed by that gentleman that he had received orders through j-the county clerk from the commis sioners, to issue no certificates, un less the applicant first presented a clear receipt from the county treasur er, showing that he, the applicant, was entirely clear on the treasurer's books, as regards back personal taxes. They will get credit on their taxes due for the amount of their fees. We were informed that the grand jury of Nemaha county came near fiuding a true bill against Judge Pound, and fining him S50, he hav ing failed to open court on the day it was called. Our informant also says It was only by Judce Pound's promise not to let the thing happen aeatn, that the fine was not made. Nebras ka Cify JTcw. If the grand jury took some action to correct this source of complaint because of needless expense to the county, and inconvenience and trouble to litigants, wltuesses and jurors it certainly did a good thing. If court Is not to open until Tuesday, it is best to make the order to that effect. In stead of Monday, and hen everything will work in harmony, and save a hundred or so of farmers from losing a day, grumbling and waiting for the I judge to come.

Mr. Enos Cummings, of Nema ha City, Last Friday evening, after unloading a load of grain in a car, backed his team, or the team backed itself, over the bank into the Missouri river; but the horses and wagon were rescued, only slight damage being done to the harness. The Prairie Farmer speaking o f the destruction of the fruit germ, says "The critical time is just at the bloss oming season, then a white frost will kill unless favorable conditions follow the settling of the frost. At this time a raw east wind Is particularly fatal, even although no frost occur." Prairie Farmer .- The season is probably the earliest ever experienced in th West. Let us hope the prom ise of great crops, eo early given, may be fulfilled in the ripening. We be lieve that this season Nature will do her part, but there is much that the cultivator may do to compass that end. The Prairie Farmer says, "spring is by far the best season, all over the northwest, for setting out fruit trees, strawberries, currants, raspberries, as paragus, and all permanent planta tions intended to remain for years. Every moment is now of value to those who wish to grow good fruit in after year3. r-g r3 , E2 :?-?

IT IS TOO LARGE AND CHEAP TO ENUMEEATE. RECEIVING MORE DAILY. Gen. Geo. H.Roberts, as per an nenncement, delivered his lecture, "Our Danger, "to the people of Brown ville on Tuesday evening last. While the audience was respectable in size it was not so large as we would like to have seen present on the occasion and as Gen. Roberts' reputation as a lec turer would warrant wherever he ap pears on the rostrum under ordinar ily favorable circumstances, which was scarcely the case Tuesday even ing. Heavy clouds gathered about dark, and before the lecture waa over rain was falling ; and another thing which operated against the assemblage of a large audience was that when the people learned the lecturer could not be here until the arrival of the Lincoln train, many believed he would be entirely too late, and would not turn out. However there was a fair audience to hear the Geneva!, and we guarantee he will rot find a more appreciative one anyw.iere. We deem it not best to underlain a synopsis of the lecture. It treated in an exceedingly felicitous and master ly manner three of the principal dan gers which threaten, curses which curse the Republic, viz ; the greed for gold, the non-education of (he youth and the power of strong drink. The major portion of his hour and a half lecture was devoted to the necessity of educating the children, and reasoning with great power and terseness that compulsory measures should be re sorted to to educate all the children of the land, rather than permit them to grow np to the age of voters without ability to read their tiakets, and to grope their way through life in the darkness of ignorance. The sound ness of the speaker's position was cer tainly acknowledged by every intel ligent lady and gentleman present. ' The lecturer's reference directly to 4-the evils in the use of and traffic of intoxicants, was brief but pertinent. His reference to the overthrow of an Intellectual friend by the de mon's power, was beautiful and heart-touching. Those who heard "Our Danger" on Tuesday evening, we doubt not, without exception, en joyed it not only for its grand present ment of the most important subject for the consideration of American par ents, but alEoaa an intellectual feaat but seldom to be enjoyed. Thl3 we be lieve, was the first delivery of "Our Danger," and that it i3 a grand leo ture and will be so received we doubt nos by every intelligent audience who maybe favored with it. Mr. John Patterson, of Peru baa a grievance. He has a "crow to pick" with one Morton, a neighbor ot his. All purely a personal matter, and of, we should think, not the slightest In terest to our reader3, not even those of Peru outside the circle of the said per sonal quarral. Yet Mr. Patterson fills over six pages of legal cap paper re garding his feud, and as an advertise ment of the frailties and shortcom ings of his old time friend, Morton, with whom in the halcyon days he has without doubt taken many a fra ternal "nip." It strikes us that John Patterson doesn't appreciate the situation clear ly, and has lost sight of the fact that the advertisement he proposes ia a dozen times larger than the subject to be advertised demands or deserves. The fact that he offers to subscribe for our paper and become "a live worker for it," gives us to understand that be has some sort of instinctive idea that his article is an advertisement, or i should hp regarded as such : and be Is right so far as that idea has obtained with him, and had he further consid ered the expense of 10 ceut3 a line he would have comprehended full justice to us, and no doubt reconsidered the size and cut down his advertisement of Morton to probablv eight or ten lines, which space would be ample for Mr. Patterson to say every pertinent thing contained in the seven pages written. And bad be sent us such an Item simply with the view of setting himself right before his neighbors, we should have published the same with out charge. Now, while we decline, most re spectfully, to publish Mr. Patterson's article, for either love or money, or his patronage not that it would seri ously injure Morton or any one else ; but because we will not allow the use of our columns for the ventilation of j malice, spite or quarrels between , neighbors we proce-d to say for Mr. Patterson sufficient to correct false impressions concerning him : It appears that J. B. Morton pub- 1 Slished a card in the Peru paper charg ins Patterson with having said that Morton bad drank liquor with Patter-1 son since Morton signed the pledge. ( Morton denies, and Patterson denies having said any such thing. In his article Patterson says : "Now I will tell yon all I did say, and that is, that J. B. Morton refused to drink whisky hot tvith me on ac- count (as he stated) of having taken a resolve never to drink any more as j longa3 he lived." Now that is all there is of It and all that is necessary to print. These words of Mr. Patterson's exonorated Mr. Morton; they give Patterson the; credit of candor, but do not relieve him of the blame of ofiiering the in toxicating bowl to one trying to free himself from its bondage. This must suffice, for us, on matter, with both parties.
