We saw it stated, some time since,
that Com. Vandcrbilt carried out some
very fine. Railroad schemes during the
late gold excitement ia New York. lie
had been conjjtclled to "tie up" vnth the
Lake Shore road a short time before,
and during thi excitement he labored to
bring Lake Shore Stoi k down to'a low
figure. He succeeded in bringing it
down, and then purchased a controling
interest, which had the effect to nJoa.-
him from Lis contract" with that "road,
and allow him to . make other consolida
tions, more to his liking. His idea of a
"through line" via. PlatL-miouth and
Burlington will yet prove a success.

The Nemaha Journal has the follow
ing in relation to Railroad matter in
Richardson county: ' . . . .
Grading on the C. B. & Southwestern
'Rail Road is now in prop-ross near Ilulo
ia this county. The fipt ten , miles will
OJ graded rfore winter, wiiich will
bring it to Falls City.
Work on the Trunk road will won
commence. No county in the State
possesses better Railroad prospects than
Richardson, and in consequence of which
immigration is rapidly coming in. V'e
hope the people of Tecunxsch. will
hear tho scream of the Iron Horse,
It for twelve month shall roll around
We "second the motion," and hope
the iron horse may be heard in many
other localities in Nebraska.

The Davenport Gazette, in copying the
correspondence between J. M. Hedrick,
Pies' L Iowa Vrc&s Association, and Su-p-inUndent
C. G. Hammond, U. 1. R.
R., makes the following comnieuts :
- "1 the aboTC had shown the least re
gret that he could not .make any excep
tion in favor of the Iowa l'ress, by modi
fication of rates or otherwise, its coolness
would not have been quite so perceptible.
Iu present formality and icincss, we
J resume, would hardly have been sostri
ingly exhibited if another road was in
operation to the l'actSc."
To our brethren of the press in Iowa,
we would say, there is another road
started west from the Missouri River,
and will Bon find U way far into the in
terior of Nebraska, on its way to the Pa
cific Let it be supported by the Iowa
press, as heartily ad the U. P. R. R. has
been supported, and it will be but a short
time before the mauagers of the latter
road will cease to put on airs because
they have a monopoly. The Ii. & M. in
Nebraska is a corporation abundantly
Able to "push things."
fcTATK FA IK.
The State Journal of Lincoln, Ne
braska, in speaking of the last Slate Fair,
closes its article with the following para
graph :
"Next year Lincoln will be an excel
lent point at which to hold a fair.
Brownvile has the State Fair, but situa
ted as she is at present, it cannot be ex
pected that many entries will be made
except from the South-east corner of the
State. Lincoln will be of ea-y access by
Tail from Omaha. Plattsmouth, Nebraska
City, Fremont, Columbus and interven
ing points, and the country round about.
Let us prepare for the event early next
ppring."
We regret to see the? sp:rit evinced in
the above. As to holding "a fair" at
Lincoln, "next vear," that is all richt,
and we hope the cood peoplo of that
county will do it. If Mr. Gere proposes
to get up a Fair in opposition to the regu
lar State Fair, we think it simply bad
faith coming from the wrong source.
The friends at Lincoln desired the next
Fair held there. That was right, hon
orable and proper. The Board unani
mously decided that it be held at Utown
ille. All true friend of the organiza
tion will acquiesce and bide their time.
Again: tne assertion that "it cannot tc
expected that ninny entries will be made,
except from the South-east corner of the
State," is in bad taste, uncalled for, and
is not true.
To those well acquainted in the State
thi9 will be understood, and the joke ap
preciated. Prof. Gere knows that
Brown ville, the poiut selected for the
next State Fair, is in the midst of and
eurrounded by tho most extensively de
veloped" counties agriculturally, in the
State--with . due respect to other coun
ties and localities He knows County
Fairs were held this year, in no other
ontiod in the State, except Richardson,
Pawnee, Johnson, Otoe and Nemaha.
These counties, with Cass added and
her Fair going jeople have already proni-
isea 10 oe on nana, as tney always arc
are the best, prepared, and will come
nearer making a Swte Agricultural Fair,
what it ought to be to-day, or next year
than any other notion "of the State.
Advertuer't Agricultural Column.
We fully concur ia the ideas of Col.
Furnas, author cf the above, that Brown
ville ia the best located town in the State
at which to hold an agricultural fair at
the present time. We hope to have the
State Fair at Plattsmouth soon, and be
lieve the day is not far distant when
even Lincoln can be reached with ease
from all parts of the State, as our rail
road system is developed ; but for the
present, Brownvillejis the place, and
Cass county endorses the selection.
Death of Col. Wax. Baamrr.
We regret to announce to our readers
thd death of ColonelWilliam Bauiner,
an old and highly respected citizen of this
city. He died at his late residence at
half-past six o'clock vestercLir mnmtntr.
of congestion of the brain, after a brief
illness aged 45 years.
CoL Baumer was a native of Germanv,
and came to thL countrv in 1800. In
1861, when the Rebellion broke out.
CoL Baumer promptly arrayed himself
on the side of his country, and raised a
company of recruits in this city, of which
he was subsequently chosen captain,
and was incorporated as a portion of the
First Nebraska Regiment. lie served
faithfully throughout the bloody and
protracted struggle, and was subsequently
promoted irom the official position to
that of Lieut. Colonol of his regiment.
CoL Baumer was a brave soldier, com

regretted by all who knew him.
Mrs. Baumer, the wife of the deceased,

Rtmarkrble Spring-.
From the Lansing, (Mich.) Republican.
In attempting to bore a salt well at St.
Louis, Gratiot county, in this State, a
spring of freshwater was tapped, at the
depth of a little more than two hundred
feet, which throws out water at the rate
of two hundred gallons per minute. This
water is thrown some distance above the
ground ; and the first thought of the peo
ple of that village was, that if they had
failed in obtaining a salt well they had se
cured the means of providing pure, soft,
cold water for all. The discovery of its
healing qualities wa the result of acci
dent. Three traveling agents, stopping
for a day at St. Loui3, went down to the
spring, and finding the water cold, it was
proposed that each s-hould hold his hand
in the water to tfcit the question of phys
ical eiidnrnnee. One of the party ha 1
long sufiVred from rheumatism, and had
been unaUe to open his hand for many
years. This hand was placed in the
water, and when compelled, after some
moments, to withdraw it, he was able to
straighten his Engc rs, and he exclaimed :
"My God! I can open my hand, and
have not done it before lor ten years." .
This marvelous healing caused great
excitement among the inhabitants, and
iurthcr experiments proved that the
water was filled with electricity of gal
vanism. Knife blades held in the cur
rent Mowing from tho pije became suffi
ciently magnetized, in five minutes, to
lift a tenpenny nail, and retain the power
as if imparted from a loadstone
The news of its medical properties
spread far and wide, and those suffering
from chronic rheumatwu and neuralgic
diseases came to drink and found restored
health from the waters. The analysis of
Professor Dutheld, of Detroit, proved tho
truth of the assertion that the waters
were charged with electricity. Provision
ha been made for the accommodation of
patients and the furnishhig of baths, and
St. Ijouis is reaping a iroldeu harvest.
The village is constantly filled with pa
tients, and the cures ara almost as re
markable as those performed in days of
old at the Pool of Bethsada, when the
anuel stirred the waters.
We give an illustration in point : A
few day.s since Messrs. Christian & Pat
terson, of this city, : went to St. Louis to
try the virtues of the waters, and were
greatly benefitted. They state to us that
last Saturday an old man came to St.
Iiuis, who had been unable, from
rheumatism, to walk for more than three
years, hobbling about as best he could
with crutches, his feet especially being in
a terrible condition, On Sunda.v he took
two baths, and drank freely of the water,
relating the uie on Monday. On
Tuesday morning he walked ten rods and
back without a crutch; almost entirely
healed in two days tine.
But while there, Messrs. Patterson
and Christian have been the means of
making another discovery in relation to
these waters, which will excite a pro
found sensation throughout the State
and country. The water had been con
ducted through a six-inch tin pipe from
the mouth of the spring. For some pur
pose, a portion of the mouth of this pipe
Lad been cut off and, allowed to chop
upon the ground, where it was certainly
kept wet by the flowing water From
the surface of this tin had accumulated
a galvanic coat of metal resembling bur
nished gold.
Mr. Patterson, who discovered it, pro
posed to bring the entire piece" to Lin
king, but was told that others might like
a piece as a curiosity ; and a couple of
pieces, each alxmt three inches square,
were brought to this city, one of which is
in our possession. An examination
shows that the coating is as finely placed
upon the tin as if done by the best gal
vanic process, anq a test ot acias, maae
bv Professor Cruiie, of the Lansing Mu
seum, proves the metal to Ie chloride of
gold. lhe water holds tins valuable
metal in solution, and it may turn out
that the spring is not less valuable as a
source of wealth to the owners, than it is
conducive to the health of those, afflicted
with rhefimatim, paralysis -ut, sci
atica, dyspepsia and neuralgia. The test
of the strongest ac ids da not affect the
metal, it remaining bright, as before the
application.
In traveling up the country the ether
day, and not being acquainted with the
roads we were compelled frequently toln
quire the way. Sometimes from the di
rections we received wo were - reminded
of the direction given by the boy to the
traveler: "Keep on this road till you
come to a dogwood stump, leave the
stump and go on till you come to at old
log, pass by the log and go up a hill; then
go down the hill and turn up a holler
and go about a mile, and then." "And
then what, my bov?" "And then if you
ain't lost I'll be darned." Soue of the
directions loft us iu the same fix.' Chron
icle. Surveyor Cornell, of New Yrk, ha
ordered that all vessels from Canada,
which heretofore were generally entered
as coastwise shall be hereafter, treated as
from foreign ports.
Fred. Hudson declined to take charge
of the Tinux because, though he was of
fered $10,000 a year, he couldn't srK con

-i Ia. patty. )f-geiitlcincru- among .whom
were several railroad men and members
of the press, made a short excursion on
the C. B. & Q. railroad yesterday after
noon, to witness the trud of a new.leo-tio-magnetic
train brake, the invontion
of .ii c Joaeph Gi instead, au employe of
thii . company. , The brake, has been in
use tn that roa l for about a ycaclpast,
and its efficiency aud economical advan
tages have been thoroughly tested to the
satisfaction of the company. : It was to
bring ' the invention ' more" prominently
before the notice of the; public and the
railway companies that the excursion was
orearrized vesterday.
The brake is of feim pic construction.
Three Daniels' batteries are placed under
one of the seats in each carriage, con
necting by means of telegraph wires with
matniets which are iu the centre edge of
a wheel attached to a shaft. An ama
teur plate, which is kept in motion by
the revolution of the wheels of the cars,
is so attached that when the magnets are
changed it causes them to adhere to the
wheel, thus carrying around the fchaft,
which winds up the chain attached to the
ordinary brake levers, and this, pressing
against the wheels, stays the bar. The
method of working the apparatus is ex
csedingly simple. When it is desired to
stay the car, the engineer pulls the bell
rope, which is so arranged that it raises
a key placed in the ceiling of the cars,
and this closes the circuit making the
shaft revolve. The advantage of the
invention will be obvious to any railroad
man. The entire apparatus costs only
$5) for each car, while it docs away en
tirely with the need of bnikemen.
The experiments inade yesterday after
noon were eminently satisfactory. On
the first trial, the train, after running
half a mile in forty-five seconds, was
brought to a 6top in twenty seconds,
within a space of 072 feet. A second
and third trial were made, the results of
which were even more successful in de
monstrating the success of the invention.

The Hiory Of A HIiirt Clay Dean'.
We have all heard of the "song of
the shirt," and most of us know it by
heart ; and more of us should pay heed
to what it so nobly teaches. That was
by Hood, and the best thing Thomas
ever gave to the world. Now we have
the story of a shirt, of entirely different
and on a widely different subject. This
is by tho editor of the Winterset Sun,
ia founded on facts, "' facts" and has to
do with the sweet smelling Henry, whose
last name is Clay Dean. It runs thus :
"Years ago, when Mr. Albert West was
one of the leading Democrats of this
county, Henry Clay Dean came to Win
terset to make a Democratic speech.
Mr. West who has an unfaltering aver
sion to dirty shirts, informed the com
mittee that Deanhould not speak unless
he put on a clean shirt. Dean was the
possessor of only one of those useful ar
ticles, and that was on his back. The
only remedy was to borrow, and Mr.
West was the only Democrat whose pli3'
sical proportions were sufficiently devel
oped to require a shirt long enough to fit
Dean. Henry Clay was accordingly en
sconced in the banker's "fine linen,"
made his speech, and departed in tri
umph, bearing off a five dollar thirt be
longing to Mr. West. That shirt was
never heard from until the fall of 18(53,
when Dean again came to Winterset to
make another speech. That time he
txk up his abode with our genial friend
George W. Seevers. Now George has
a cleanly desire to see folks look tidy,
and Dean's shirt was an abomination in
his eyes.' He therefore suggested to the
orator that he would do well to get on
the inside of a clean one, Dean aci jui-e-iced
in the theory of the change but
lacked the clean garments necessary to
put it in practice. George promptly
tendered Dim one ot msown. i'ean ac
cepted the offer, made his.speech array
ed in Georce's best thirt. Dean weiirhs
about three hundred ; George one bun
ured and sixty, iean Has a large sur
plusage of abdomen; George is "built"
as trim as a race horse, ine conse
quence of this dissimilarity in size made
it impossible for George s shirt to fit
Dean, if worn in the ordinary manner.
JJut the orator was full or expedients,
aud by putting on the shirt wrong-end
clown and the tale end up he "made the
riffle," astonished his hide by bringing
it in contact with clean linen ; electrified
the audience by the size of his fehirt
collar, and at the close of his address
continued his travels to another point,
taking our tnend s shirt with hira. Ur.
Dean left his soiled garment in the rooiu,
and which, preparatory to being washed,
was carried out on a chip into the sun
light, there on one corner of its narrative,
appeared tho name Albert We&t.
Eleven j-ears that shirt had abode upon
the back of the orator. ' The Great Re
bellion, the total eclipse, the Pacific Rail
Road, the election ot three Presidents
all had passed away Letore our eloquent
hero found time to change his shirt ; and
when the great change was made he
kindly returned to the snot where he got
his first clean shirt to invest in his second
one. ' ' Register.
