Tbe Nemaha Valley Journal favors an extra esnion of the Legislature on the ground that it will give it editor a chance to "break his colts ;" an honest reason, to say the lea.st; and probably as valid an many others which are not given, but oovcred up with Mmie other appar ent .reason. . . It is hipo'f the railroad company will do commercial business ns soon as they get their new landing completed on the Iowa side. We know it is of the utmost importance that all the construction ma terial possible be crossed over before winter sets in ; but a barge load (one trip) each day of goods for the, city would be of great importance. Joanna Nichole, who plead guilty to the charge of larceny, in that slie stole money from Alexander Sehlagel of Lou isville precinct, was sentenced last Sat urday to three months in the county jail. The remarks of the Judge, in pronounc ing her sentence, were quite affecting, and should have been listened to by every person having control of child ren. Billy Miller, of the red blanket organ at Nebraska City, says we are the possessor of an opaque brain. lie does this be cause we said "probably" the aforesaid organ was waiting to see which side of the extra session question the Chronicle took. Now, Billy, my loy, if you only knew how those ponderous thrusts pierced our very soul (that isn't opaque) we know j-ou would ease up, just a little. We hope the suggestions of the Her ald, made some time since, in regard to roads in the county, will not be forgotten. At the present time this question of roads should be made the all important one. There are many improvements of a public character needed in the county, but we know of none that are of such general importance as the construction of good roads. Every individual is inte rested in having them, for they are used by alL Let the matter be looked at im mediately. A. G. Burnett, who has been acting as Stage Agent at Lincoln during the past six months, for F. M. Dorrington, of this city, who is proprietor of the south-western line of stages, picked up his traps and left that locality some two weeks since, taking with him some $300 of Mr. I)orrington's money. He is supposed to have gono to Sioux City or Brownville. We learn the above facts from Mr. Dor rington.' .What has become of our Weeping Water corresjxMident? We have heard nothing from that prosperous and thri ving locality for a long time. A joint like , Weeping Water, with her stores, her mill privileges and her great agricul tural resources cannot afford to be. "let alone.'' Let us hear how you are get ting along out thcre-what you arc doing, what you expect, to do 'and what you ought to do ? The columns of the Her ald are open for news from all parts of the country, if some one will only kit us have it in shape for publication. By the last of the present week, or the commencement of the ' next, cars loaded with construction material for the B. !c M. R. B. in Nebraska will cross to this side from the head of the bar on the Iowa side. Mr. Woodman is doing all that can be done to secure the comple tion of the read to Lincoln this winter, and nothing but the very worst of weather will prevent his accomplishing this result. Of one thing, however, the public can rest assured, tnd that is that the B. & M. road in Nebraska will be one of the best roads in the United States. Everything is being done with a perma nency that is unusual in the west. Every bridge, culvert, or other improvement necessary to the operation of the road, is being constructed in a superior man ner, without regard to the expense. From Twday't Daily. The track is almost completed to the landing on the opposite side of the river. Considerable interest is manifested in Omaha over the trial of the supposed murderers of McMurty. Mr. J. Q. Brownlee, late of Marion, Ind., has purchased a half interest in the Lincoln Journal. Tlie Ottumwa Courier copies our arti cle stating that the river is to be bridged at this iiat by the railroad company. Six arrests were made in Lincoln last week for playing Keno, and $175 were paid into the city Treasury by the par ties arrested. The man Reagan, sentenced to one yar in tho Penitentiary for arson, last w ck, made quite a little speech on the ct-aioii of reviving hi sentence. He j. a 'V'M"' bird." The bat culvert on the first division of railroad west from l'kttsnjouth was com pleted last eveuing. Look out for truck laying. . The Omaha TZejtuUican publishes an original poem of over a 'column aula half. It is all about "David," and was written by a lady of Ponca, Nebraska. 'Mr; John Tallon will go to the other nide of tho river to-morrow with his track layers to hurry up the work on that si le. They will have the track completed to the landing in two days, . , II. N. Orr has his endless chain wood sawing machine in operrtion. It does first rate work, cheaper than by hand, and you get it out of the way in a very hLort space of time. Three locomotives (all on different roads) and two steamboats were in view at one time Jast Sunday morning. , That is not a very heavy sight, but will do very well for I'lattsmouth. A white swan was recently killed in Nemaha county, in this State, which measured five feet ix, inches from tip of tail to end of bill ; eight feet one inch from tip to tip of wings ; five feet eleven inches from end of feet to end of bill, and weighed forty pounds. Considerable of a bird. Deputy U. S. Marshal, E. B. Murphy, t-tarted for Omaha to-day with the runa way steamer, Lady Grace. She had been attached and tied up at Omaha, and was using her heels pretty lively when Capt. Murphy hailed her to "send freight down the river." lie loaded her so heavy she could go no further. We learn from Sup't. Beales that not withstanding the slim attendance so far at the Teachers' Institute in this city, it will be kept up during the week. Every person in the city who feels an interest in the matter fchould attend during the exercises. Superintendent Beals will de liver a lecture to-morrow evening Turn out aud hear him. The Leavenworth BuMttn says : "We understand that the work of sink ing the bridge tube; will be commenced next week. The work on the approach es to the bridge is progressing handsome ly ; all the machinery formerly used on the bridge work at Council Bluffs aud Omaha has arrived here, and operations with it have already commenced." Tt is thought that the stepincr Sully which was snagged below St. Joseph, will prove a total wreck. The Union says that the sand has been washed from under her so rapidly by the current that nothing but the tops of her chimneys are in sight. In view of the fact that she went down in but four feet of water, some idea of the treachery of the Missou ri may be obtained. Prof. Beals, State Superintendent, Prof. Hadley, of Chicago ; Prof. Ingalls, of Muscatine, Towa. for three years Ag't. of the State Teachers' Institute ; Prof. Putnam, of Kansas, and Prof. McLen nahan, of Omaha, are in the city for the purpose of holding a Teachers' Institute here. We are sorry to learn that teach ers generally have not turned out. There is much to be learned at tl.ese Institutes, and every teacher in the county should have been on hand at the appointed time. Not only teachers, but all persons feeling an interest in educational matters, should attend these Institutes. From TTV'iir.ffij Daily The Atwood House at Lincoln been leased to Swollen & Atwood. has Mr. Geo. Humphrey has erected a neat dwelling in tlie wot part of the city. The lumber has arrived for the M. E. Church, and the frame is all up. It will be enclosed in a few days. The II. R. Turntable is nearly com pleted. The Round House will be com menced inimediatelv. Mr. Hallowell advertises for plasterers. He has the contract of plastering Mur phy's new hotel building, and can work a number of men. The law firm of Strickland & Uaxby has been dissolved, and Mr. Strickland has associated with him a young man named Webster. Wm. Daily was elected to the State Senate from Nemaha county to fill the vacancy caused by the appointment of Col. Majors as U. S, Assessor. Tlie first real snow of the season fell last night. The face of the earth in this region was covered o the depth of an inch this morning, with a soft, wet snow. We are sorry to leant that J. E. Doom is quite ill. He has been confined to his room, and most of the time to his bed, for several days past. The new Congregational Church, in the west part of town, is approaching completion. It is enclosed, and the in side work is being pushed as rapidly as possible. Prof. Gere says there is "no law com pelling him to wear the Washing honors of Prof. " Probably Gov. Butler will not lose sight of this fact when he issues his call 4br an extra session. A belligerent sorting chap from Ne braska City got roughly handled at the Platte Valley yesterday. Mine host Ross is a full team, and likes to have people behave themselves about his premises. The Journal has an article with a great black-letterhead, as follows: "Who is to call an extra session this year." We answer in thunder tones, we suppose Iwj i- that is to say, cither David or the Prof. Wc are g'.a i to know that F. M. Lons dale, Esq., has been appointed a deputy city Marshall, andasigned to duty as a night watch. The position of night watch i. nnt of great importance to the city, and wc lvliere Mr. Lonsdale will e makr a rrrv f5oicnt officer. Judge A. L. Child removed his family to the city yesterday, and will take pos session of the Probate office to-morrow. Mr. TW. Doane, Chief Engineer of L the Hr & L R.

Mr. Joseph Schlater sold yesterday, to Mr. Matthews, of Afton, .Iowa, twenty-four feet off the south end of lots 1 and 2 in block 29, on Fourth street, betwean Main and Vine. Mr. Matthews will put up a large building early in the spring and occupy it as a business house. We did not learn the character of busi ness he contemplates opening. A change has ljcen made in the pro prietorship of the "oldest newspaper in the world" no, the oldest in Nebraska. Thomas Morton has sold out tlie Xtb ruska City Stirs to Win. Ilicklin. Hicklin is a wide awake man, and ha an extensive acquaintance in southern Neb raska. A fire company is needed in Platts niouth. A movement was inaugurated some months since to organize one.--What has become of it ? It is about time we had something done to protect property in case of a fire. Should a fire break out anywhere on Main street now, it would be difficult checking it until 'the greatest part of the street was swept. They have had a little "onpleasant ness" over the Clerk's office at Nebraska City. A deputy named Brown set him self up as the Supreme Court, and de clared the'law giving the County H'lerk charge of the District Court papers as un constitutional, and he refused to allow the Clerk elected by the people to take pos session, lie was finally induced, by an oncer.' to allow the clerk to take posses ion of the office and papers. Mr. II, Li tilwell, of Omaha, called on us this morning with a complaint that about forty kegs of powder were crossed on the ferry boat last evening, at the time himself and several other gentlemen were on the boat, aud that the captain of the boat refused to cover the kegs with wet blankets or otherwise protect them from sparks, notwithstanding he was requested to do so by several pas sengers. We know nothing of the facts in this case except as given us by Mr. Stilweil. We do know that Captain McGee has the reputation of being a perfect gentleman, and we believe this is the first complaint we have ever heard against him as a ferryman. We doubt not the complaining parties may have been somewhat at fault, yet wc must say that it is a dangerous business to carry kegs of powder in an open wagon on the ferry-boat with passengers, and we hope some other and safer method of bringing powder across the river may be adopted. There is a place called Plattsuiouth, "over yander in Ncbraskn." which must lie a dreadful place, according to its daily paper, the J 'IeralJ."r Ottumwa Courier. You are right, "uiy boy." There is o place called Piattsmouth. and it is not such an awful place, either. It is just like all rapidly growing cities of the west, is infested by an unnecessary numlcr of "scallawags," who require close watch ing and rough handling occasionally. The "place called Piattsmouth'' is grow ing in size and importance faster than any other town on the Missouri river, ami "its daily paper, the I1f.ua I. V " is en deavoring to be a full and fair exponent of the growth of tho city and surround ing country. We hope our friend of the. Courier will give us a call as soon as that portion of the great continental thoroughfare is completed which con nects our city with Ottumwa. Come and see this "dreadful place," aud then report. To the Editor Plattsmoith IIkk ai.d: Your brief notice of the "Rail Road Boat" of Saturday, suggest the idea that the interest of this city maj be promoted by uniting the Railroad ami city ferries on the line you propose . e. the crossing arranged for the Railroad ferry. The President can do all of the work, as she has a broad deck for teams and carriages, and a barge for the R. R. cars. To accommodate the city ferry the steamer could drop down the river a few rods below the car landing, where an easy approach can be made for carriages, and while the cars are being transferred from the barge and return to it, the steamer can make the other transfer withont delaying the Railroad work for a moment. Therefore we suggest for the consideration of all parties interested,the propriety of this arrangement, as it will establish a first class ferry with an extra boat to be used in cases of emergency. P1.ATTSM01TH. Editor Plattsmoith Herald : In your issue of Monday you state that the cause of Wm. W Irishes commit ting suicide is mere conjecture. Allow me to say that in this you are undoubt edly mistaken. There need be no con jecture as to the cause, and is none among those who are acquainted with the circumstances. It is the general opinion that this rash act was caused direct by a story circulated by two men who are to-day walking the streets of I'lattsmouth with- heads erect. The story is of too vulgar and unnatural a nature to be even hinted at in public print, and whether or not it has any foundation in truth, there can be no doubt that tbe effect of it upon Mr. Irishes mind was the cause of his com mitting suicide. This cannot be doubted by any one knowing his sensitive nature. If the story is true no man could for an instant suppose Mr. Irish was in his right mind at the time of the transac tion and if it is true what must le thought of the persons who gave it pub licity, and were participants in the act. If it le not true and I am inclined to this belief--what then must be the fear ful responsibility resting upon those two men no,' not men, in either event. . Triik. THE M1SSIXU Kl'KVKYOHN.

Mr. Willanl Buck,- son of the missing Surveyor, arrived in the city yesterday from a trip to the West in search of his father and comrades. He found two of their wagons on Beaver Creek, a branch of the Republican river. One of them had been cut to pieces and portions of it thrown into the stream. He also found some scraps of paper with writing oc which lteloiigcd ,to his father onq buin g a part of a bill of goods- -from Clark, fi Pluniuicr, in this city. He also found two tripod belonging to the party, which he recognized immediately.; The? place where these things tvere found gave evi dence 'of being either" a -camp or wliere the party had made a stand again.-t the Indians. No trace of the bodies was found, and everything goes to show that the party was attacked while away from their wagons or else they were all taken pri oners. Tlie latter theory is' hardly reasonable, as Indians seldom make prisoners of men. Wc think the discoveries made by Mr. Buck are calculated to do away with the last reasonable hope that any of the party are yet alive. AX OLD CTTIZF.X COMMITS I1K. Kl'I- Ttie Rody or Win. W. Irish Found, Shot Through The Heart By Hi Onii Hand. Some days ago Ave noticed that Wm. W. Irish, keeper of a restaurant over Bloom & Co.'s Clothing house, had dis appeared mysteriously. It was the gen eral belief that he had left the country, j et those who knew him best expressed a fear that he had committed suicide. He had said to Sheriff Johnson, some days before he was missing, that he had a thought of destroying himself. Abwut four o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. Wm. Hicks found the body of a dead man in the ravine west of C. II. Wol cott's enclosure, about a mile south of the city. He immediately notified Sher iff Johnson of" the fact; who notified Cor oner Fairfield. 31 r. Fairfield summoned assistance, and proceeded ,to the spot. The body was recognised 'as that of Mr.' Irish,!tnd had becur-hot directly through the heart. A Derringer pistol, which Mr. Irish had purchased about a week previous to his disappearance, was found leide.him, empty. He had evidently shot himself wile standing, and had fall en forward onto his face, in which posi tion ho was found by Mr. Hicks. ; The body 'was conveyed to the clt', and a jury empanneled ly the Coroner. Dr. John Black was called to make a post mortem examination. The follow ing is their verdict : ST AT Iv OF NEBRASKA, ) ua Cass Corviv. j At-an inquisition holdcn in Piatts mouth.

Irish, lying dead, by the Jurors whose names are hereunto subscribed, tlie said Jurors upon their oaths do say that the said William W. Irish came to his death by a pistol shot, voluntarily ad-. ministered by himself, on or about the "2nd day of November, the ball of said pistol entering smd perforating the heart, and producing death from internal hemorrhage. In testimony whereof, the said Jurors have hereunto -set their hands, the day and year aforesaid : Wim.iam D. Gage, E. Bittkky, S. F. Cooper, Jos. Schlater, li. L. HOLDROOK. Attest: G. W. Fairfield, Coroner of Cass Co. , Neb. What the cause of the unnatural ac tion of Mr. Irish in taking his own life was, is mere conjecture. He had ex hibited symptoms of insanity upon one or two occasions recently, but was not supposed to be deranged, even by those who were with him most. He had given no indication of such intention, exeept by his remark to Sheriff John son, and left no explanation that would lead to any other conclusion except that he was at least temporarily insane. Of Mr. Irishes early life, or whence he came, we know nothing. He enlisted in Co. "A," First Nebraska cavalry, at the outbreak of the rebellion, and served until the close of the war. He was cook at regimental head-quarters for a long time, and was a general favorite among the officers. At the close of the war he opened a restaurant iu this city, and has lived in the city ever since, except a short time he was in Lincoln, thus sum mer. He was the landlord of the Sheri dan House (now City Hotel) for a tiut?, and only opened the restaurant over Blooin & Co. 's about a month or six weeks ago. He was last eeu, before he was found as above, on the morning or the 3rd instant. Col. Tichc nor informs us that he has string hopes of finding sufficient coal in his mine here to supply his salt works at Lincoln. He has recent discoveries which- he -think will Tjrrrwt. thi blif.

Two tables were spread, and at the suggestion of the newly admitted member all. hands pro ceeded to "partake of the repast, which was one of the finest ever spread in the city, and was a credit to the establish ment and "to the donor, and was relished by the participants.' After the oysters, coffee, etc., were disposed of, several suspicious looking bottles were produced, which were " aM, ' by th6-c who tested them, to contain a beverage called cham paign. It must have been very nice, for only a short time elapsed before every body seemed to feel in the best of humor with everybody else, (except, of course, the sedate ones, like oursulf,) and many a legal joke was indulged in during the next hour. At tlie close of the enter tainment the desire appeared general that Maj.

THE FIRST EXtl'ltSlOX TIIIP - On the B. & M. R. R. in Nebraska was made Saturday afternoon. It was not a very lengthy trip to be sure ; yet it was an excursion to the "end of the track," and assists in causing one to realize that we have a Railroad in our midst. Sev eral ladies and gentleman were tiken to the end of the track by tho "American Eagle," under charge of Engineer Iloyt.
