Sullivan's New Comic English
Opera, entitled the "Sorcerer," con
ducted by Miss Fannie Arnold, is
working this way from Kansas City
and St. Joe. It is thought the party
"will visit Lincoln in about two weeks.
They are highly spoken of by the;
preps of the down river country, and
ure drawing full houses. Miss Arnold,
we understand, is a student from one
of the musical conservatories of
Europe. Siote Journal, 28th ult.
The "Local" of the Journal gets off
the above with such an air of serious
ness and self satisfaction as a news
promulgator, that it is laughable to
our focal readers, who have known
Miss Arnold as a resident of this city
since she was a child. Miss Fannie,
as musical directress, with such talent
os she-could enlist about Brownville, !
presented The Sorcerer hero on the
evenlngs'of the22d and 23d ult., and
by invitction of friends, she took her
Company to Falls City on the 31st.
She has notpresented that or any oth
er opera on other occasions than the
three here named and will not, we are
Informed. Nor is Miss Fannie an
European student but purely an
American one one that the city
wherein she lives, with her father
&nd mother, delights to honor as a star
in the musical firmament. By the
way, we suggest to our friend of the
Journal, that if Lincoln could induce
Miss Fannie to "work that way" with
her company, the natives of the mag
ic city would enjoy a chorus of
Brownville voices that would aston
ish them with its melody and power.

As we briefly noticed last week,
Gov. Nance came down from Lin

personal acquaintance. No effort
was spared to make his short visit a
pleasant one. In the evening,
after the party returned from Major
Howe's, country home Captain
Carson, in the eseroise of his usual
hospitality, opened his large and well
furnished residence for a reception for
the Governor, where citizens could

was enjoyed. Mrs. Carson gave per

by others of Brownvilla's sweet sing

choice selections of music
We trust Gov. Nance's first visit to
Browuville and Nemaha county, will
be among the pleasant recollections of
his official term.

The Howe-Gruwell Wedding.
We regret esceedingly that pressing
business duties prevented our person
al attendance at the wedding of Mr.
Herbert R.Howe and Miss Mamie F.
Gruwell, at the residence of Hon.
Church Howe on Wednesday last,
the 28th nit. From a friend present,
who at our request, furnished notes,
we are pleased to know It was one
among the most enjoyable social
events known in the history of the
county. Mr. and Mrs. Howe, as well
as the young contracting parties, have
many friends in the county and else
where, both in this and other States.
The invitations were numerous and
widespread, and the attendance cor
respond large. Not less than three
hundred guests were in attendance.
The large, commodious and well ar
ranged residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Howe was filled to overflowing ev
ery room in the house, above and be
low. And yet, such was the general
admirable arrangement and atten
tion, that all were accommodated,
treated with greatest hospitality and
highly delighted. The Host and
Hostess were assisted in their atten
tions to guests, by Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
B. Moore, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Teare of Brownville.
There was no attempt at gaudy dis-
play in any respect, the object seem
ing to be the common-seuse-substan-
tial to make all "feel at home" and
enjoy the occasion. The bridal ap
parel of both Bride and Groom,
while elegant In quality, was arrang-
'i be ceremonies wpta norrnrmori h
Rev. Thos. E. Dickey of the Episco
pal church, Nebraska City, the Bride
given away by her guardian Hon. S.
W. Kennedy.
Mibs Fannie Arnold, one of Brown
ville's favorite Prima Donna's, with
musical exercises, added greatly to the
enjoyment of the day. While the
bridal procession was passing into the
main parlor, preparatory to the mar
riage cereniouj-, Miss Fannie impress
ively executed on the instrument.
Mendelsohn's famed wedding march.
After the oeremonyv and preceeding
the collation, she was joined by quite
a number of her opera associates, and
artistically executed one of the "Sor
cerer" grand choruses, which was
greatly admired and applauded by
the throng.
Mr. Howe, in the exercise of that
liberality and hospitality for which he
has ever been characterized, prepared
and had served, most elegant and
elaborate refreshments, which were
partaken of by his hundreds of guests,
with appreciative relish and enjoy
ment, long to be rememLered.
After a few hours speut in pleasant
comiugling and social intercourse,
the joyous gathering hied away to
their homes, feeling that an extraor
dinary social event had been partici
pated in, thauking Mr. and Mrs.
Church Howe for the sumptuous en
tertainment, and wishing the newly
married couple all the ecstacies and
realizations the mostsanguinedreams
of matrimonial alliauce could con
ceive of.
WEDDING PRESENTS.
The wedding presents were both
numerous and valuable, almost ma
king one feel envious, aud wish that
we all might bo the happy recipients
of such rare favors and; rememhran

By our County Superintendent.
At a convention of Superintendents
held at Lincoln the 27th ult., of
which Philip Crother was Secretary,
the Superintendent of Nemaha, read
a paper, which contains suggestions
worthy the profound consideration of
everybody haviug interest in good
schools, as follows:
"The means of obtaining full
and correct reports from school
offlcers the more it is pondered,
the more difficult it appears to
be to- arrive at a satisfactory con
clusion. In the large majority of dis
tricts no compensation is directly
made to school officers, consequently
responsibility is lightly felt. In a
number of districts in the State,
among colonies of foreign-born citi
zens, officers are elected who are un
able to write or speak English. In a
large number of districts no provision
is made for keeping a permanent reo
ord of school district business. Again
we are told that some directors are
careless and thoughtless, though as
for Nemaha County, In this respect,
we have very few instances. To re
move the foregoing, which seem to
be the heaviest drawbacks to obtain
ing full and correct reports; in the
first instance a limited money com
pensation for actual service, in our
opinion would be a powerful help,
though we are willing to admit that
the prospect of speedily obtaining
that help is not very flattering. In
the next place we move an amend
ment to the school law : "That no
person shall be eligible to the office
of School Director who is unable to
read and write theEnglish language."
Also let County Superintendents,
through the public press, by leotures,
by the assistance of teachers, aud by
every available means impress upon
all concerned the absolute importance
of satisfactory reports. Simple and
plain blanks are a great assistance;
but in this regard we have but one
recommendation to make concerning
the form of the annual report blank,
and that is that the debtor aud credi
tor footings of the fluaucial part of it,
bejilaceu on the same level, side by
side, of oourse. Let the district in
debtedness and the amount named in
the Treasurer's bund, come beneath
the middle line of the debtor and
credit accouut. This recommenda
tion is derived from the advice of
many school officers, so we deem it
of praotical import.
We come to what we consider as
the moat effective means, because of
practical availability ; that is, a well
kept, detailed school district record
book. Where the district is supplied
with suitable books for the various of
ficers, the data are always accessible
from which to make out a full and
correct report. We advise that coun
ty superintendents obtain, about the
close of the school year, from the
County Treasurer, the amount of
funds drawn by each district in the
pastyear ; also to send out the annual
blanks in good season, having first
filled in, as much as possible, every
blank space in writing, inserting the
amount on hand as stated in the last
year's report of each district respect
ively. Then give notice through the
couuty newspaper of the fact of the
blanks haviug been sent out and de
siring any director failing to receive
the same, to notify aud nave others
sent to him. We come finally to
whatstrikes us, is the readiest means
to secure the desired end, namely a
well kept district record book use
all lawful means to impress upon
school otlicers the exceeding import
ance of this tact; and lest you should
forget it we will agaiu say that a
thoroughly posted record book will
save more money and useless regret
tiug, give more business satisfaction,
save more Iawauitd aud idle wrang
ling, than any other one thing in a
district ; besides affording a basis for
a full aud correct report of the condi
tion of the district at auy time when
called for. So you will perhaps ex
cuse us for sayiug that too much
stress cannot be laid upon this point
aud the attention of all concerned be
called to theadvisahility of providing
the dietrict (where such has not al
rpady been done) with a complete set
of record books. We beg leave to say
finally that we are most emphatically,
and without the least shadow of a
doubt, of the opinion that a
series of well kept district books, is
the most vital necessity toalwaj'sand
every time obtaininc a full and cor
rect report for a school district.
