The Fremont Trib'ine goes in heavy on the commencement of work on their third railroad. It gets off a "neap" of sensational head, and follows it up with three and a half columns of reading mat ter. There's nothing "dead" about that town neither docs it "sleep" much. Fremont is to have an elevator in a few days. The Tribune Fays it is the first elevator in Nebraska. Fudge! We have an "elevator" in l'lattsmouth that beats yours all hollow. We have known it to "elevate" more than fifty men in a single day. It can be procured at every other door on Main street. Wc learn that the Western Stage Com pany are about putting on a daily line of four-horse eoaehe:; between this city and Lincoln, via. Ashland. They are now Tunning a tri-weckly line on this, route, and four coaches a day Ix-twoen this city and the C. U. k St. Joe R. R. This will give us nine coaches a week to Lin coln. Our information concerning the rob bery of Michael llo. gan was somewhat faulty, though not in the essential fea tures. He has a contract on section three instead of section seven ; ho lived at the work instead of in town ; hishor rc? went to section three instead of com ing to town, and "his brother was not his brother, but his furst coosen." So far as the actual robbery is concerned, our information and statement ye.-terday was correct. There were other parties near who heard 3Iorris demand Ilorgan's "money or his life." The Fremont Tribune of the 11th Fays: "A largT grading out'iit from the B. & 31. R.

The grading on the B. & 31. between 1'latts mouth and Lincoln is about completed. The company will probably not com mence active operations west of Lincoln before spring. In the mean time they will complete the road to Lincoln and get everything in readiness to drive the work It-tween Lincoln and Fort Kearney, early next season. There is yet room for a few more names on o a- sabription books, and we are desirous of lilling the space with the mines of good men.

Mr. McCarty, of Ulysses, informs us that a young man from near his place, recently concluded that lie did uot like this region, and not being fitted for traveling with comfort an 1 speed, he got aboard of a horse belonging to an other man and started towards Kansas. He rode hard all night, and in the morn ing stopped at a house to feed his horse and get breakfast for himself. The own er of the horse missed him in the moru nz. and started out to hunt for him, and found the horse and his rider within a mile and a Wof where he had start ed the evening before. The fellow got be wildered on the prairie, and wandered around all night hauling up in the morn 'i tie immediate vicinity of where be LkI started. He was examined before a Justice of the Peace, and held for trial ttbe next ten of their Pjstnet Court, u answer to of hor?c r;. from Tundxtt't Daily.

Taunchill my.-teriou-ly disappeared from his home in Omaha !at Wednesday. His friends know of no reason for his leaving volun tarily, and fear foul play. B. S. Ramsey, recent democratic can didate for county clerk, called on the Herald Saturday. Mr. Ramsay thinks the farmers in his neighborhood have only just commenced to gather corn. Isaiah Sahler, Exp, of Peoria county, 111., called on the HERALD to-day, in company with our old friend George Shrider. Mr. Sahler is out here taking a look nt the country, with a view of re m jving WJst in the spring. A large number of country peorle have been in the city to-day, driven hither by the great inducements held out by ad vertisers in the Herald. Fanners, their wives and daughters, all read the 1 1 ERALD. We said .some week-, ago that the indi cation were that an extra seion of the L"gi-!aUno was to be hel l this winter ; so ve coi.tiime to say, the "indications" have grown daily, unt il now it is asserted by tLose who probably know, that the session is to be held in January. Mr. McDonald informs us that the track will probably be completed to-day to the landing at the head of the bar on the other side of the river. This will be of great aduantage to both jteople and railroad company. The first cars over the main line may be looked for to mor row. We learn that Capt. R- B. Murphy has been appointed deputy U. S. Mar shal at this place. The Capt. is a man of large experience on the frontier, is a thorough going man, and will make a No." 1 officer. I lis experience as a mili tary man gives him advantages over many others. We understand that iur.e quantities of goods shipped from Chicago to l'latt mouth are lying in the depot at Oaiaha. How does this happen. Do not railroad men know any better than to send I'latts mouth goods to Omaha ; au l do not the agents at Omaha know enough to for ward goods to this city o: notify p trtie that iroo Is are there. The Nebraska City Press of a rcccn: date gets off an immense sensation head ing to an article which winds up with the following: "Nebraska City, Un gate way of the world!" It don't say which iratewav whether the one by which people enter the world or leave it. Will Billy 31iller pleu.se explain? or is he "wailing to see what the Chro.tidc say- aloutit." We never knew of three more modest newspapers than those of Nebraska City. They otdy claim tijht railroads fur their town when they could just as .well have eighteen. They will certainly have eighteen just as soon as Dr. Converse and F. A. White Es. build the one they are now talking about and seven teen others. It is "confidently expected that not less than ten miles" of each of tl.o eighteen "will be completed before the fifteen tli of February next." Wood has been ranging at prices far above what should govern, during the past month. The article supplied so far, has been of a reasonable grade, but the great difficulty seems to be in the meas ure. You buy what is called a cord, and it will generally measure up about three-fourth-? of a cord. Something should le done to !; ii:t;'1 tbe wood market. It would be V u ; ;br both dealer and con sumer to have ; regular city measurer. What think you ! "F. A. White, Esq.. of the Midland Pacific," was in the city this morning, looking at a real railroad. White is a man of unbounded energy, and will do a much toward building a lailroad as any man i:i the country who has to ope rate on a limited capital. We wish 3Ir. Whito and his road all kinds of success, notwithstanding the manner in which some of the Nebraska City papers have abused him. We believe in a general newspaper patronage, and think every family should take at least two or three newspapers. The jeople of Plattsmouth agree with us in this particular, and many of them take Omaha and Nebraska City paper-, besides the Herald. We would say to those who are taking papers from these places, ju-t observe carefully how much is said in thcui that is calculated to ben efit Piattstnouth. Omaha papers have much to say about the interests of Ne braska City praising her advantages, etc. , and rice vrrsa. Do you see any thing in the papers of either locality that is ta'culated to benefit Plattsmoiuh. If you do, let us know. The Hkkald is working for the interests of this locality. There are a few citizifi here who do not support the Herald as liberally as they should. Remember that we aro running the Herald iimde-bau led and alone.

It appears that in the year 180(5. in Vermillion county, Illinois, a miantiry' f goods of various kinds, were stolen, aud were found in the house of one Sherman Hays, a farmer of that locality. He and his brother were arrested for the crime, a preliminary examination was had and thev were placed in confinement in the county jail to await the sitting of court. and the action of the Grand Jury. Be fore the time for the pitting of the court the two Hays brothers and three others broke jail, and bid adieu to that region of country as they undoubtedly hoped forever.' The two Hays' came to this locality and settled, and Sherman Hays has resided here ever since, except du ring a temporary absence to the moun tains. About eighteen months ago Sheriff Johnson received a letter from the authorities of Vermillion county, asking if be knew anyth ng of the par ties. He immediately informed them that Sherman Hays was here, but that the other brother had left. As to the other prisoners who broke jail with them he knew nothing, as they had never been in this locality, so far as was known. Since that time every effort has beeu made so find the other Hays and the balance of those prisoners who broke jail with them, but without any success. A requisition was finally procured for Sherman Hays, and placed in thd hands of Sheriff Johnson. . Last Friday detect ive Rittenhouse arrived in the city, and early Saturday morning Sheriff Johnson went out to tlm residence of 3Ir. Craig, about seven miles in the country, and ar rested 3Ir. Hays, brought him to the city and gave him over to the custody of Mr. Rittenhouse, who immediately took the cars for Illinois with the prisoner. It appears there are two or thre differ ent indictments against Hays in .Vermillion county, though as near as we are able . to h-arn they all grow out of the same transaction. In regard to 3Ir. Hays, as a citizen of Illi nois, wc know nothing, except as above stated ; but as a citizen of Nebraska, he is very well know in this locality, and in justice to him we would say that his ar rest as a criminal is the subject of much astonishment. He has lived in this lo cality for the past three years, arid has leen viewed as one our very best citi zens. He has been viewed thus not simply because nothing was known against him, but btcaose he has had abundant opportunity to act the rxscal and make money by so doing, and has invariably rendered a just account of all money and property entrusted to him. At one time he had several thousand dollars worth of property in his hands belonging to 31r. C. II. Parmele. out at Denver, which he could have kept. with all ease in the world . if he had been so disposed, but he returned every dollar. In fact, Sheiinan Hays would have been trusted and has been since he has lived here with any amount of money or property, and no man ever had a suspi cion that there was anything dishonest about him he has rather been noted as an honest, upright mail ; industrious and faithful; a sober, intelligent citizen. 31 r. Hays gives a version of the Illinois affair which looks plausible, and which will be believed by most men in Nebraska who have knowu him during his resi dence here. lie does not deny that stolen goods were fouud in his possession, that he broke jail, etc., but says he took the giKids from another person, who owed him, and that he had no knowledge whatever of their being stoten until they were found with him and claimed. We hope this statement is correct, and that 31r. Hays may be able to prove it. ROBBERY OX THE 1IICIIWAY. - Railrortd Contractor Surroiinils too Unrli lt-M-.iie nnl (pIh iK-lit-veil of Ui Wuleli mid Jltmej . 3Ir. 31ichael Ilorgan, who has a con tract on section seven of the railroad west from Plattsinouth, came into the city yesterday, and is supposed to have "sampled" the liquors of several differ ent dealers ; at least he was "tis;htually slight" when the sha les of evening ap proached. He lives in the city, but started about five o'clock, in a buggy to go out to his work on the roul. In the course of an hour the horses returned, without either carriage or driver. A brother of Ilorgan's who lives with him immediately started out to see what had become of him and the carriage. A short distance out from town he met a man coming toward town who seeuied inclined to avoid him. He turned back with the man, after having inquired of him in regard to the missing man, and being assured that he had seen nothing of him. After theyr arrived in the city, Marshal 3Iurphy kept his eye on the fel low, who gave his name as Zeb. .Morris, and soon became convinced that he knew something of Ilorgan. He was accord ingly arrested, and on his person was ound Ilorgan's watch and chain, which was identified by. hlf a dozen persons. About this time IIrgan himself aj eared upon the scene of action, much less under the influence' of benzine than when he left town. He stated that the man 3Iorris got into the buggy and start ed with him from town, and after they had got out on ths prairie, 3Iorris took what money he had, (only about S3), cut his watch guard and took his watch, loosed the horses from the buggy, and left hhu in the buggy. He says he was very'" much under the influence of liquor (which it would be useless to deny) but that he distinctly recollects what wa done, but was unable to offer any resist ance. ; 3Iorris was brought before Judge Gage this morning,., where the above fact were elicited by testimony. He was committed to jaiL where be will probably remain until the sitting vf the District Court. From one to three trains aro unloaded in Plattsinouth daily now.

REPORT OF JRAXI Jl'BT 05I THE lOMliriON OF CASM CO I' XT V JAIE. November Term of the District Court held in, and for the 2d Judicial District in Cuss. County, Nebraska, on the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, Oth and Stli days of said month. We, the Grand Jury of said Court, in accordance with the instructions given by HU Honor, Judge Lake, 'presiding in said District Court, have visited the jail of said county and find said jail in as goo.l condition as the building will admit of; and we believe that the Sheriff, J. W. Johnson, has done and now does all in his power to make secure and comfort able the prisoners consigned to his charge , and on interrogating prisoners relative to food furnished them, etc., we received for answer, that they had no complaint to enter against the Sheriff. And "we furthermore declare ami say, that we consider the present Cunty Jail totally insufficient for ' the present exi gences both as to security and accom modations ; and the veiitilution is entire ly inadequate for the health and comfort of prisoners, and cannot possibly be very conducive to the health of those upon whom the care and management of said jail devolves. ; We, therefore", respectfully recom mend that that the County Commission ers take this subject under immediate consideration. Sl'iNKD BY TIIK F illLMAN. The alovc is only a repetition of the Grand" Jury Report 'for thJ past four or five years, only that the reports vary in the language used in that each foreman has a differant manner of expressing the same thing. r Thin matter id' having an insecure and unhealthy jail has been be fore; the people so long that they hardly realize that these reports contain facts. Some think that because prisoners do ' not escape, ihe jail is a se cure place. There has not been an escape recently, but it is not in consequence of the security of the jail building, but in consequence of the ex treme caution and vigilance of the Sher iff. We hope the County Commission ers will act upon the suggestions of the Grand Jury, and immediately take the matter under advisement. YVe would suggest the propriety of selling the old jail building, sellitiir our present Court House building, adding a little more to the fund, and building -a Court House and Jail that would be a credit to the county and a safe place to keep prisoners. Were it not for the extreme watchfulness of Sheriff Johnson, the present jail building would not hold the class of vil lains that are coming into this locality as long aa it. takes to put them there. The safety of the community requires that something be done soon. Hlt A CC II EXT. A Little irl Itnrncd to Ieatb. " From the Pnlo llejritf rof Not. 11. Jerome Wiltse, who lives a few miles west of this place, lost a youn.2 daughter a few days sinre undr most grievous cir cumstances. The father and two boys were out. it in the field, and the mother was milkinar in tho evanin:;, white the little girl was j.iejiai-in supper. While she was wnrkinir hImmU the sNive. her garments caujrht fire, and she was burn ed so badly that she expired soon after." Theiiuly occupant in the hou-e, a small I my,' at once raised an alarm, but before any one could reach the spot .she was en veloped in flames. ; Would it not be advisable for the City Council and the Board of County Com missioners tohave the proceedings of their respcctive'jueetiiifr ptii.Iished in brief in the Herald. The people as a general rule are utterly ignorant of what U being done by these bodies. There might be less fault found with the action of the, bodies if some pains were taken to place such action before the public ; for it is natural for people to find fault with anything of a public nature thnt has th- appearan'-e of being kept from the public view. We merely make these suggestions for the consideration of those bodies. PiATTsnoi'Tii .ma Kits: r.
