A. F. Harvey, of the Lincoln States
man, called on us last week. Harvey
was in the city attending the session of
the Grand Lodge of the Good Templars.
We rememler when things were not
thus with Harvey. The Statesman is
one of the fairest spoken democratic
journals in the State, and Harvey wields
a pen of no mean ability in local mat
ters. Dr. AL. Child, of Glendale, in this
county, arrived at home last Friday from
a five weeks visit among his old friends
in Vermont and New Hampshire. He
informs us the season in the Eastern
States is very backward, wet and cold,
and that the prospec t for crops looked
very unfavorable. The IV. is looking
quite -hearty like his visit had agreed
with him.

We notice that J. E. Doom, ofthe
enterprising firm of Doom I in is., has
taken the entire control of their agri
cultural implement trade, giving his
attention soley to it. This firm is do
ing a large business this j-ear. Their
sales of Reapers, Threshers Sec, will
probably exceed those of am- other firm
in South Platte, Nebraska.
The Ch teatnan has recently been con
solidated with the Snrnsii and Advance

the name of the Unhrrxc. It will be
published as an eight page sheet with
forty-eight columns. The' first issue of
this paper will be on the 27th of thi,
month.
There appears to have leen a sudden
change in affairs. A short time ago ev
erybody who came to Nebraska made
Omaha the point; now they are coming
to Plattsmouth. The establishment of a
terminal point of a great national thoro'
fare, like the B. Si 31. R. R., does arrest
the attention of the public, when the
name of a town like Plattsmouth will have
no such effect.
E. Sage, Esq., of this city, has sold,
during the present season, seventy-one of
the "J lames' Illinois Harvesters," and
says he could have sold a hundred with
out the least exertion, only the demand
has been so great he could not obtain the
machines. This speaks well for the agri
cultural interests of Cass county, consid
ering the great number of other harvest
ing machines that have lecn sold.
See new advertisement of Tootle,
Hanna fc Clark, Bankers. This firm is
one of the most reliable doing business
in the western country, and represents a
very large amount of capital. There is
no man but knows his money is safer
within a bank vault than between the
hod ticks or secreted in some out-of-the-way
pi ice where mice can "break in and
steal;" and every man in this locality
should le" prudent enough to make his
deposits with Tootle, Hanna & Clark.
There your money" is perfectly safe so
long as any member of the firm is worth
enough to pay it.
We have been shown a sample of
winter wheat raised by our old Republi
can friend, Win. Altaffer, Esq., on the
South Weeping Water, which certainly
lKks like winter wheat could be raised
successfully in this State. The heads
which wc saw were large and well filled,
and we are told that 3Ir. Altaffer ex
pects to have fifty bushels to the acre
from his field. The varieties raised by
3Ir. Altaffer is known as the Red Chaff
and White Winter. Wc were also
shown some fine specimens of rye from
his field, the heads of which would
measure full eight inches in length, and
were well filled.
J. S. Tewksbury, Esq., came up on
the McGill yesterday morning. He will

A large, number of men and teams are

We have nothing of interest from the
Weeping Water coal fields this week.

We learn from I). W. 3IcKinnon, Esq
that a man named Nelson Atkinson was
drowned last Sunday in Bock Creek,
branch of Salt Creek, at Atkinson's 3Iill
It apjicars that the high waters ha
odged sonic drift upon the dam, whie
3Ir. Atkinson feared would cause
break, and himself and another m
m
endeavored to remove the drift. In or
der to get at it without being carrie
over the dam, they tied a rope to a skiff,
and fastened the other end on shore.
lhe current was so strong that the skiff
was hauled under water the moment the
rope was drawn taut, and both men
were carried over the dam into the seeth
ing waters be'ow, from which 3Ir. At
kinson was taken a corpse. His com
anion reached the shore in safetj.
t is supiKised 3Ir. A. was injured in
going over the dam, as he was an excel-
nt swimmer. We also learn, from the
same gentleman, that a Bohemian,-
lining iiimuoti iinu :i pair 01 muies
were drowned in llobinson's Branch of
Salt Creek on Jlondny of this week.
The stream was very much swollen by

The third annual session ofthe Gram
iodge of Gootl Templars of Nebra.-ka,

1 6th, closed last Friday a. m. Owing to
the inclement stage of the weather, a por

attendance, delegates and visitors bciu
present from all portions of the State. -

unusual interest and profit, and every

Templar and Grand Worthy Secretary

md heartily approved by all who heard
them. The following officers were dulv
installed on the evening of the second
day's session, for the ensuing year:
G. Stevenson, of Relievue, G. W. C

J he next annual session is to be held

Extra KcsHioii ofthe I..cg;ilattirc.
The Omaha Rrjmtih't-an is urging the
lioveniorto call an extra session ofthe
Legislature in September next. We ob
ject; esiKjcially as to time. First, be
.1 .
cause mere are a good manv vacancies
which can be filled 111 October; and sec
ond, because if the Legislature is to meet
in extra session, it should le after the
October election, so if the Constitution
al Convention carries, provision maybe
made fbr the Convention at an early day.
We object generally, as we are not yet
convinced of the necessity for such an
expenditure of time and money. We
know that there is much that ought to
lie done; but, from the temper of the
Legislature as expressed last winter, we
are not sure that what is so desirable to
be done could be arranged more satisfac
tory than we now have it. We shall be
Miser after the October election than be
fore. A good thorough canvass in this
State for County oilicers, will teach us
that the people desire the strictest econ
omy consistent with a rigid administra
tion ofthe laws No reckless waste or
unnecessary appropriation of the funds
ofthe State or County, will be tolerated
by the people; and politicians who rc
inclinea to mn official business on too
high a prcs-ure, have cither to put on
the break or stand aside.
e say then, if a regular session is de
termined on, let it be at the regular time
in January. AdcertTxrr.

The fact that a large majority of our

fact that the rapid spread of Republican

The While ICoek Colony (iono.
One of the party who went to serch
for the bodies of the missing buffalo
hunters, called 011 us yesterday, and con
firmed the report of the flight of the
W hite Rock Colony. Ihis colony con
sisted of between fifty and sixt- families
or weels. Jhevhal taken up some
beautiful and fertile lands 011 the White
Rock, which empties into the Republi
can trom the westward, and had settled
down to a development of that most
lovely part of the country. Without an
hours warning, they were raided on by a
haiHl ot plun.lcnnr Tinli.ui.--. lio killed
twelve of their number and slaughtered
a lot of stock. In consternation at this
unexpected attack upon their lives and
7ropertv, the entire survivors 01 the
colony hastily gathered together what
few articles they could conveniently move
and hastily fled eastward. At this time
a body 01 wo hundred and forty soldiers
occupy the colony's ground and will re
main there during the remainder of the
season to take care of any red skins who
may return that way. No doubt but
severe measures will be taken with the
thieving, murdering savages on the fron
tier. J he settlors are worked up to that
pitch that they will take the government
of Indians into their own hands if the
authorities fail, and woe to the poor Lo
who falls into their. clutches. Press 17th.

Agreeably my

proper, a true state
ment of the good ef
fects of Hoback's
Stomach Hitters upon
myself. I had beci:
troubled with ind

r
severe headache,par-
ticularly after eating.
when fortunately an
old soldier friend
came into the store
and recommended mc
to use Roback's Hit
ters. I did so by tak-
inga small wine-glass?
full just before each
meal, and tomv great
joy I was relieved nt
once, and am now
s
well by their use. I
would not be without
them at any price. 1
have not taken anv
other medicine since
I commenced ushi
the Bitters. And I
can say with a eleai
conscience, try Ho-
back's Bitters they
will do all thev arc
recommended to dc
