Mon day evening la-t, assisted by Miss Alice Clark, a -rery weet dinger. A moderately sized audience was pres ent; and. if we may judge by applause were delighted. Celeste is truly a wonderou performer on piano ami organ, and is all that Is claimed for her in bills and press notices. We were shown a silver tea set, and waiter, each bearing the inscrip tion, "Mr. and Mrs. Herbert R. Howe. Presented by Brownville Friends, Jan. 22d. 1SS0." These ar ticles are beautifully chased and the Ret a handsome wedding present In deed. The net cost of the set, with out the waiter, was $04.00, and with the waiter. $124.00, the waiter alone costing $60.00.

This soil soon ab sorbs the moisture. So far this win ter we have not had a snow fall in this locality that more than cvered the ground. Out steam ferry boat is run ning between Xhis shore and the Mis souri, same as in summer. We no ticed several days lat week, honey bees out flying about In the genial sunshine. Farmers have begun aow iug wheat. John W. Bennett, Wed nesday evening, last week, 21st iust., informed us he had sown several acres of wheat that day, and if the weather continued pleasaut he would finish up a field. The weather has been just to his haud. We would think that grass wheat planted such weather on rolling lands would do well. Health pretty good ; people happy enough, etc And that's bow we "come on' In Nebraska. It will be seen by referenoe to the Horticultural address of Gov. Furna, which we publish in this in eue. that he has made up and present ed a complete silva of Nemaha county listof about ail the Fruit trees, in digenous and otherwise, to be found growing in the county. He is pre paring for exhibition specimens of the wood of all these varieties. As soon as he completes the Forest tree collection, he will add to it specimens of Fruit tree wood also. This will doubtless, be the first collection of the kind ever made in the State, """"or Territory, and will be valuable as an advertisement for the county and State. How will this do both as to species and varieties for a "treeless l"regiou" "Great American Desert." J Among the collections made are spec imens of Osage Orange taken from the hedge rows ot J. H. Drain and Fred. Schwartz, the first fences plant ed in Nebraska. They were both planted the same Spring, if we are correctly informed ISoS.

The person or persona who have been writing letters to Falls City from this place, and endeavoriug thereby to injure th character of some of the singers in the Sorcerer, and the finan cial success of the opera, are in very small business.

Mr. Dalbey , the present land lord, has just gone through the entire house, renovating, papering, painting and carpeting ; and every room and compartment presents a fresh, new and clean appearance. The culinary preparations and arangements of The Sherman are first-class in every re spect ; good cooks and accommodating waiters, and the table appointments and viands are not to be excelled. The Sherman is now a first class "one dollar a day" house. The par lors are neat cosy and comfortable, and all guests, ladies or gentlemen will find accommodations ample aud cordial.

Some people have a fashion of con fusing excellent remedies with the large mass of "patent medicines," and in this they are guilty of a wrong. There are some advertised remedies fully worth all that is asked for them, and one at least we know of Hop Bitters. The writer has had occasion to use the Bitters in juat such a cli mate as we have most of the year in Baj' City, and hasalways found them to be first class and reliable, doing all that is claimed for them.

Mrs. Helen Koblson, of St. Joe, came up last Thursday to attend the "Sorcerer." Mr. Joseph Heikes went to Crete on Tuesday and will connect himself with the Crete Nurseries as canvasser. Henry Royce started with his family for Adiar Co. Kentucky on Sunday last, having received news of severe illness of Col. John Tupman, father of Mrs. Royce. Fred Coreman.a noted horseman of Humboldt, was in the city Sun day. He was driving a rattling team of stallions, and has plenty more of the same sort in his stables. E. B. Osborn and wife, father and mother of our respected young friend, S. A. Osborn, after spending a week or so with the family of bis son in this city, returned to their home in Tabor, Iowa. Arthur Walsh, now of Humboldt was in the city Sunday. He informs us he has taken several contracts of plastering through this and Richard son county, and will commence oper ations in about a week. Governor Nance came down from the Capital Tuesday evening. In company with ex-Gov. Furnas he went out to Mr. Howe's Wednesday morning. The Governor, Wednesday evening, receives friends at the resi dence of Regent Carson. The comio Opera, The Sorcerer, by Miss Fannie Arnold, the prima donna of the play, and her splendid company, rendered at the Marsh Opera House last Thursday evening, and repeated Friday evening, was an other most complete triumph for Brownville's musical and dramatio talent. We have spoken of this opera so frequently during its rehearsals, that our readers are familiar with our ideas regarding its merits; and as every body, nearly, witnessed the play, it would seem superfluous and egotisti cal for us to enter into a detail ed review regarding the merits or de merits of the numerous characters of the opera. But for the pleasure of the Sorcerer company, we will say that their opera singing and acting has been accordeduniversal praise by the refined classes of people who know what to expect of, aud how to appreciate, operatic entertainments. Operas, especially those of the com ic cast, are not presented to theatre going people, for the sake of the threadbare moral that usually "adorns .a tale" or winds up a drama. Comic operas are understood and ex pected to be in matter and plot noth ing more than a ludicrous but ohaste and tasteful I3' arranged story, told in the harmony of musical notes, Inter spersed with thrilling songs, solos, duets, quartets, ohoruses, etc The combination of musical talent, enlist ed in the rendition of The Sorcerer by amateurs of this little oity has been the occasion of remarksof wonder and admiration, by criticsfrom abroad as well as at home. We doubt if it could be excelled by any cfty in the State. The Sorcerer, is a' combination of rapid, pleasant transitions, and as presented in the attractive costumes of our Brownville performers, the rapture of the audience is fed aud sus tained by each enthrilling scene, from the ringing entree of the pretty peasantry to the dazzlingy7iafe. Miss Arnold, by solicitation, has consented to present The Sorcerer in the opera house at Falls City, Satur day evening 31st inst. The people of that city may anticipate a rare enter tainment. Emulation from the Benton Xerrs. A Chicago paper informs us that there are fifty girls attending the Cornell, New York, University, thir teen of whom are Jn The freshman class; also oue hundred and thirty four girls attending the Michigan University, thirty-three of whom will graduate this year. Girls, suppose we set our mark high, surely we have talents equal to New York or Michi gan girls If we only are sufficiently diligent. Certainly we were not all created for mop-handles, or for washer-women, although these callings are not at all dishonorable. Missouri has furnished one talented woman, Miss Jessie Benton, who is the acknowledged peer of her illus trious father, in every respect. Mies Tappan took a thorough course at the Michigan University, then studied law, and proved to be one of the best lawyers in the United States. Dr. Mary Walker is one of the most sue. cessful of the physicians bf the Unit ed States. With these examples be fore us, why not possess ourselves of a noble zeal and press right on. I despise the idea ofbeing a mere toy or puppet for men to laugil at.

Mr. George KInghorn has been very sick, but we are glad to see that he Ib again able to be about. Didst thou not think some swear words in thy sore affliction, O Job? Yea so we think, for we with less than fifty of thy health promoting comforters are tempted to say "dog on the luck." Mr. Hastie who was ejected from the M. E. cburoh, by the Rev. Tib- bit's, some days ago, has been holding meetings and doing some tall talking during the last week. He declared that he bad a religion that meant something, in proof of which he went about town buying five cent presents for the children, and for every five centexpended he did fifty cents worth of bragging. He told us that he had faith, and that while he served God neither heor any of his family would die or have any siokuess, and that the affliction in the family of one of his neighbors was a God send, and in an swer to hiB prayer. Mr. H. in his re marks said mauy good things. He was considerable Ingersoll like in some of his remarks, not In point of oratory or grammatical construction, but in sentiment, yet he showed strong signs of mental aberration in much that he said. J. H.Duudas Is building a new house in the north east part of town. Mrs. John Spidle was burled at the Bedford Cemetery, on Thursday of last week. We acknowledge"the receipt of wedding cards from Mr. Howe, but will not be able to be present, but we hope that our absence will not cause a gloom to be spread over the occasion. HOWARD ITEMS. Corn nearly all husked, while we have had a most lovely winter, good roads nearly all the time. The cry comes to us from the east, of mud and rain nearly constantly. Howard lias two general mer chandise stores, one drug store, one tin shop, one boot and shoe shop, one blacksmith shop, one hotel, one wa ter power flowering mill, and a popu lation of over sixty. Good opening for a good work man to start a harness shop here. Rev. Preseon of M. E. cburoh preaches every two weeks at Union and Lafayette school houses. We heartily agree with Nemaha City in regard to state furnishing dis trict school records. If district No. 1 looses the case now pending, the loss to the district would nearly furnish the county with record books. All for want of records not to be found. Married at last, A. D.

Butter Buyers everywhere are refusing to take white lardy looking butter except at 'grease' prices.

The School-board cannot com- pel children attending school to pro cure and use other books than those on State-list. The school law nowhere gives the district-board the right to adopt or select school-books. Sec. 01 devolves this duty on the State Supt. In answer to the "continual ohange of text-books,' I take ocoasion to say that all siioh chaugtsare without au thority of law in defiance of law, indeed. 138. When a teaohershouldbepaid depends entirely on the terms of the contract1, which should always include this item. Teachers may be hired by the month, day or year, as the board prefers and the teacher agrees. When the times of payment are not speci fied, monthly payments would be- understood, usually. 139. School-boards have the same right to furnish text-books for use In school as any other "apparatus," that is when the district has voted a tax for the purchase of "apparatus" or "text-books." 140. Great loss has often occurred from the want of suitable books in whioh to keep a record of the district business. It will be found economy to furnish school officers with all needed helps for the discbarge of their lawful duties. 141. A teacher discharged from the school should be paid to day of his dismissal, no longer. 142. The teacher's right to Infllot corporal punishment in school is not conferred by statute but has been re peatedly affirmed by the courts. But the teaoher may be held responsible for any abuse of this prerogative, such as cruel and unusual modes of punishment, or that which is dispro portioned to the offense. No general rule, can be laid down, but eaoh indi vidual case must be judged on its merits. 143. Where one meraberof a School- board leaves the district, or a vacancy in the board occurs in any way, it is not legal for the remaining members of the board to go on and do business. They should first have the third mem bers appointed or elected, and then transact the business. 144. The director and moderator have no right to give orders on the county treasurer to any person but the district treasurer, and if they are given thecouuty treasurer should not pay them. 145. It Is not illegal for a County Superintendent to engage in teaching provided his work in his office is not sufficient to occupy all his time. In all the larger counties there is enough legitimate and necessary work to oc cupy the whole of a County Superin tendent's time; but whenever he finds it necessary to engage in some other employment, teaching is on many accounts the most desirable. A Superintendent who teaches a p'nrtof the year, will be quite as likely as any other to keep himBelf in sympathy with the educational spirit of his county, and keep up his appreciation of the difficulties under whioh teach ers labor. 146. Should it be necessary to di vide a district while school is in ses sion, the County Superintendent can and should so arrange it that the con tract made with the teacher may be carried out in good faith. Lftw Prices for Butter. The New York 'Tribune iu its mar ket report explained why some butter is bold for such low prices. Iu speak ing of butter it said "Light colored goods are very hard to dispose of and several lots were thought well sold at 8 to 10 cents.' If butter makers would get the top price, they should use the Perfeoted Butter Color, made by Wells, Richardson & Co., Burling ton Vt. It gives a pure dandelion col or and never turns red. or rancid, hut tends to improve and preserve the butter. Guard Against Disease. If you find yourself getting bilious, head heavy, mouth foul, eyes yellow, kidneys disordered, pymptoms of piles tormenting you. take at once a few doses of Kidney-Wort.
