ItUCIiKYES MOVIXii WENT.
The Cleveland (OlTio) journals com
plain of the general disposition existing
among the farmers of Northern Ohio to
move west. Families are leaving daily,
and more preparing to move. The ina
bility to dispose of their property retains
a great number, while others have the
Western fever so badly that they pull up
stakes and come, leaving their farms in
the hands of real estate agents for dispo
sal. The poor crops harvested the last
two j-ears seem to have disheartened the
farmers, and the accounts of the aston
ishing yield of fruit and grain in this
and neighboring States so work upon
their feelings that they are willing to
make any saciific in order to secure a
share of the good fortune that awaits
them here. Nor is this movement con
fined to the farming population alone.
Trade has become dull and unprofitable,
the downward tendency of values eating
up all the margin, and a number of deal
ers are drawing out with a view to find
ing a better field for enterprise in the
growing town3 of the West The pre
vailing dullness also tells heavily upon
the industrial class. Wages are low,
employment uncertain, and a mechanic
has hard work in supportinghis family
the year through. This unpromising
state of things leads a large number to
turn their thoughts westward.
We have in Plattsmouth a full com
plement of loafers aud men who expect
to make their living by their wit?, but
we need a hundred more mechanics and
laborers. There is employment enough
for all who desire to work, but a poor
chance fcr those who cxpoct to Eiake
xnonev through trickcrv.

The bond question is settled, and Sew

A Trry Slnpulnr Story from Hie State
ol" Maine.
From the Lewi'ton t Maine) Journal. Slept. Z'.
A man named Downs, who was in the
army, and for all we know, a respectable
man, had for years lived in Auburn. A
shoemaker by trade, he has been known
t 1 his friends to possess a curious power
of putting other people info unconscious
states, in which he could do anything
with them he pleaded. On Thursday he
came into the inner solo manufactory of
Mr. Charles Woodward in Auburn, and
being an old f iend, threw his arm casu
ally around Woodward's neck, thinking
nothing of the act, and soon niter left
the shop. Woodward says that he rc
mc!ii!K'ts nothing occurred until Sntur
day no.-ui. A!'tr Downs left the hop it,
was noticed that Woodward behaved
strangely danced. san, &c. Thursday
night he di l not come home, but about
2:30 on Friday morning put iu an ap
pearance and went to bed. He boarded
with Mr. Edwin Rlake on Spring street,
Auburn. Mr. Rlnku thought Wood
ward acted strangely, Friday nLdit he
made inquiries for him and found he had
hcen to a dance had been down to a
shanty and got xmiething to eat, and
had acted very badly in other respects.
Dlake nat-tr tlly th Au he was on a
spree. a:i 1 finding Woodward at la -t.got
him home, tho-iirh he made a stout re
sistance.

Blake was now found to lie entirely

was summoned. He would dance and
sing, and cut up all sorts of antics. No

that it was imiossible to cure the ease

was found he had cone to (JardineY. It
was then determined, as dernier re
rejtorf, to carry Blake thither. Accor
dingly, Suneay forenoon he was secured
in a carriage and taken to Gardiner.
They found Down's at a hotel there,
and brought liake to the rooms where
h wkA "iX)wii3 nut his hands orr hinr,
and suddenly Blake's muscles relaxed ;
he was restored to consciousness. Blake
says the last he remembered he was
nibbing Woodard in his own house.
"Where am I?" "How did I come
here?" these and similar questions
gave expression to the Kip Van Winkle
wonderment that naturally possessed
him on coining to his senses. The storj'
was soon told, but Blake was forced
to see that the

took on himself the affection of Blake

the lips of Woodward and Blake, and

Biakc and Woodward are now confined
to their rooms, where we saw them to
day. They say they feel as though they
had been "pounded" every muscle in
their bodies being swollen and soie.
They are thoroughly pro.-trated. "What
is it?" is the question. To answer it by
saiing "mesmerism." is only to jump
out of the frying pan into the fire. It is
certainly a wondrous proof of the effect
of one mind on another, of will on will,
of animal iagnetism a physical wonder

Bepublifan County Convention, wo had
supposed that he intended to submit his
claims to that body, and abide the re

Republican, of the straiuhtest sect, of
the most radical tyje. What was our
surtnise, tlievcfore, when Mr. Walker,
finding that In could not be nominated
in the Jlepuhlirati convention, arose in
his place, asked the Republicans to ex
cuse him from serving as a delegate, and
announced that hencefo: t!i he would act

many long years, and through all their
anti-war and treasonable career ! 1 1 is

Two or three days after this strange
exhibition of political Miiiiiijcrsaultinz,
the Democratic Convention met iu this
city, and Mr. Walker was nominated by
acclamation by the men he Ind fought
so desperately and resolutely ever since
he came to Nebraska, and the Omaha
Herald proceeded to whitewash and
compliment him, after a f i-hion peculi
