Cn.ANOES.
From the quiet, orderly, half-resolved
winter of last month, we were on yester
day ushered into the rapacious jaws of a
regular northwestern "blewhard." In
the early morning a slight rain was fall
ing, which soon turned to a furious storm
of wind and snow.
All the day long the merciless storm
raged with unabated fury. The piercing
wind and blinding snow made extensive
pedestrianism a theme of contemplation,
but not to be indulged in.
Few indeed were they who left their
firesides during the) entire day. The
primitive shanties of Saline Ford afford
but moderate protection against the se
verity of such a storm. If a few of them
were blown down, or up, and replaced
with houses new and comfortable, it
would prove a mercy to numerous ten
ants aud a great addition to the appear
ance and wealth of the town. Purple
ears and noses are among the gratuities
of the icy-fingered visitor.
TOWN ITEMS.
At the late session of the County Com
missioners an appropriation of $2,000
was made for the purpose of erecting a
substantial bridge across Salt Creek, on
the line of Main street, the citizens agree
ing to raise $1,000 toward the same ob
ject. 1 his is a much needed improve
ment one in which the various business
interests are immediately connected.
With the advent of the Ii. & M., we
will have lumber and coal, and all the
commodities of commerce necessary to
the wants of our citizens and the devel
opment of our country; and a safe and
reliable transit will be all-important.
The "ford" is not always to be depended
upon. Like divers and sundry of the
"genus homo," who occasionally get a
drench bath gratis while under the ex
hilerating effects of benzine, the "ford"
gets more than "half seas over," and for
many days in succession communication
by teams is entirely cut off.
We shall hail the construction of a
bridge as one of the most sensible moves
that has been made here in the way of
improvements.
An appropriation was also made for
the erection of a building for the accom
modation of the county officers, upon
ground donated for that purpose by
Messrs. Miller & Clark.
LEGISLATIVE.
The Ashland legislature will convene
on Tuesday evening, ISth inst., under
the supervision of the following named
officers: Andrew Marble, (lovcrnor; M.
Willeic, Speaker of the House ; C. II.
Walker, Chief Clerk; C, X. Folsom,

FACETIA.
There is considerable excitement con
scrpient upon the eve of the departure of
one of the "Benedict Ext .rminators" for
the East. It is feared by some that he
has hostile intentions toward a "Wolve
rine" of the female persuasion, in which
event his brother bachelors have decided
to give him a suitable reception on his
return. Judcina: from the badges of
mourning recently adopted by the "Club"
he is a "goner."
Appropriate resolutions of reprimand,
remonstrance and regret, have been
adopted at a called meeting of the
"Club."
Whrrcds, Our dearly beloved Brother
Abel Bunker F , having of late re
ceived divers small white envelopes, con
taining therein sundry sentiments dic
tated by the Goddess Venus, but penned
by one of Eve's fair daughters possess
ing all the cunning handed down to her
by posterity, from her ancient grandamc
Eve; and
Wiereas. Our dear Brother Abel Ban
kei F , having always taken a decided
ftand in society, and having long been
one of the leading members among the
"Exterminators;" alwaysconSd-nt of his
ability to withstand the influences of the
syrcn-voiccd goddess, but by recklessly
persisting in throwing himself within the
range of this contaminating influence,
like the inebriate, vcr confident of his
ability to rcsit the intoxicating cup,
when once having tasted, is led from one
step to another, until to-day finds him
only a wreck of manhood; so with our
dear brother, once being induced to re
ceive those little sentiments of ruin, he
has fallen a victim, and his bright pro-spectator
the future brought to an un
timely end. As Eve ' was instrumental
in bringing about the Fall of Adam, so
has this unknown venusboen instrumen
tal in the ruin of our dear Brother Abel;
Therefore le it
lirsnh'd', That we who are beyond
the influence of those seeking the down
fall of the members of this "Club," who
are striving to walk uprightly before God
and man. will forever stand aloof from
their dangerous wiles.
And be it furtlicr.rcsolccfl, That our
dear Brother has our binccre and heart
felt sympathy in his downward career,
and the prayers of this Order that he
may withstand the temptations to which
he may be subjected while on the jour
ney he is about to undertake.
"And l it farther relcrxl, That if our
dear Brother shall cease from his wan
derings after strange gods, and return to
the doors of this order, he shall receive a
hearty welcome, and be ndiuitUnl to all
its social enjoyments as aforetime. As
an earnest of our sincerity we will sing,
as did the Big Chief to the Aborigines,
"While the lamp-holds out t barn.
' The vi!t sinner may return.

Tho Leavenworth Evening Call of
January 5th, contained the following :
"The suit of Dr. Will E. Turner vs.
Lottie Van Horn has turned out badly
for the Dr. He charred for his dailv
visits, and the him for his nocturnal visits
to her room. Her charges were greater
than his, and because he would not deny
the justice thereof, Williams gave her a
judgment. Physic mixed with bilkin
makes a bad compound. Dr. I would
not try it again. "
On Wednesday afternoon, as we learn
from the Times and Conservative, Mr.
l'rice, local editor of the Call, met Tur
ner in the Postoince, where some words
passed in relation to the publication of
the item in the Call, Air. 1 nee telling
him that he uieraly printed it as he wuld
any other piece of news. Turner theli
made an assault upon Mr. l'rice, who
defended himself so effectually as to be
getting the better of the fracis.'when by
standers interfered and separated them.
As they parted Turner said ."this is not
over yet." Mr. Price started upstrcet,
but it apiears that he felt he had been
wronged, and the Dr. declaring that
there was to be more of it, did not tend
to quiet his feelings. He repaired to a
store near by, and bought a large raw
hide, with which he proceeded to the
Dr.'s room, and called him to come out."
He did not appear anxious to come, so
Mr. Price went at him with his rawhiJc
and slashed him several times over the
head and face. Beiug near the door he
was finally pushed out and the . door
locked. Finding that the fellow had
concluded not to "have it out," he re
turned to the office. SV. Joe Union.

On Saturday evening last a gang of
Irkhmen (laborers on the railroad ) gath
ered in a saloon kept by Jim Peters,
and, after drinking freely and having
several free fijrhts and knock downs
among themselves, concluded to "clean
out the shanty," whereupon they seized
the bar-tender and tumbled him out of
doors, having things their own way
complete masters of the situation. But
the bar-tender, reinforced by several of
tlif Yankee roughs of the town, returned .
and made a charge on the -"shebang,"
tiring revolvers promiscuously into the
crowd, causing the "Hibernians" to
scatter from theloors and wiadows like
miniature "Bull Run." But they in
. few minutes reorganized their forces,
returned, and carried the house by storm,
completely tearing it down and setting it
on fire. So that on Sunday Bellevue
was minus one of its worst rum holes.
The only regret is that they did not serve
some other places equally as bad. These
rum-sellers will find that the law will not
frotect them in their nefarious and un
awful practices.

We devete a great portion of our pa

in the belief that we cannot usc our col

We have !een a resident of Nebraska
for nearly thirteen years, and the de
scription of her soil, climate, people,
resources, ct , as portrayed in our ex
tracts f.om the forthcoming book of the
State Commissioner fir Immigration, we
know to be strictly true.
Our non-resident readers wiil please
note the fact that Tecumseh, the county
seat of John-on County, is in the midt
of this delightful country ;. she is rapidly
and permanently improving and her
future prospects are bright. TecumseTi
is located about thirty miles from the
.Missouri river, directly west of the city of
Brownville, on the line of railroad now
being constructed from Quincy, Illinois,
to Ft. Kearney; the is about forty miles
from the State Capitol, forty-five fnm
the Nebraska ami Kansas State line,
thirty-five miles from Nebraska City.
We have plenty of timber, water and
stone-coal ; and, taking everything into
consideration, there is no town within
the interior of Nebraska with more or
tietter natural advantages, or whose pros
pect is more flattering, CUiftain.
The business at the U. S. Land Office
in this city still continues bri.-dc. People
at the east are beginning to wake up.
"Large bodies move slow," as the old
quotation runs, .nd we predict that more
people will settle in Nebraska noxt sea
son than ever ln-fore. "Uncle Samuel"
has in this land district 1,1JIUKK) acres
of land subject to pre-emption and home
stead. The district includes the tier of
counties immediately south of the Platte
river as far west as Ft. Kearney, running
through the centre of the State ami em
bracing some of the finest sections f the
whole country; the mot of the lands,
however, yet open to occupancy, -are sit
uated west from the capital and directly
in the tract of several important Rail
Roads. There yet remains in Lancaster
county a little more than 30,010 acres of
land that is open to pre-emption and
homestead. Statesman,

There arc a grrat many strange things
in this western country, but one of the
strangest of all is the crcat difference
between the prieo of grain and that of
meat, ine wmpie statement, mat me
former commands only twenty-five ccuts
per bushel in our market, while the lat-
j ter ranges from ten to fifteen eenkS per
pound, would sound a little awkward to
those who reside in states where an av
erage prodiieing'eqiiilibriuni is generally
maintained. This fact, is a-toundmg.
Such a diiference, was never heard of 'be
fore ! Do our fanner see and feel it?
Will they have it thus a year hence, or
will they wisely take it into their heads
to right this matter to raise more cattle
and hogs? If a farmer has notTdised
his own meat, the grain he produced will
Fcarcely buy it. One hundred and fifty
miles east of here hogs can be purchased
at nominal ficures, and" he same as re
gards cattle. Are there no gentlemen of
a speculative, turn m our part ot the
country ? : To purchase stock at four and
five ecnts per pound there, and sell at
ten, twelve and fifteen cents here occurs
to us as being a pretty lively way of
turning money over. But what we want
to say to our farrnici' friends is, not to
allow the state ot things which now beset
them to do so again within a twelve
month, if ever. Go all the way to Mis
souri or Iowa, and buy a few pigs aad
calves to turn yonr gram into money
with next fall. It is not your fault that

The Railroad City ofthe Ave of Steam.
From the New York Economist Jan, 8tb,
Chicago, in a business point of view,
is the model city of the continent, or,
for that matter, of the world. In energy,
enterprise and sagacity it compares fa-(
vorably with the most famous cities of
ancient and modern times. We read
with wonder of l'almyra, springing sud
denly from the desert, and controling the
trade of the world. The stories of Ven
ice and Amsterdam rising from the sea,
and winning its richest commerce, fire
the imagination ; but Chicago, in their
growth and capabilities, surprises them
all. Within the lifeti-ue ef men who
are still comparatively young and active
in the pursuits of life, it has risen from
the position of a wretched Indian village
to be the inland city of the West, the
center of its growing commerce, and the
rival of cities far older than herself, and
endowed with infinitely greater natural
capacities. If New ork, with far
greater advantages of capital and loca
tion, had evinced a -imilar spirit, it would
now be equal in wealth and importance
with Liverpool and London. .
The peculiarity of Chicago is, that it
makes trade. It does not wait for trade
to come to it. When an opening for
business occurs, it improves the chances.
Whin there is no opening, a locomotive
is butted through to make- one. In this
respect it is difficult to determine whether
Chicago has grown with the .Vest, or
the A est grown with it. One is a pro
dact and sequence of the other. It lays
the entire country under contribution.
It pushes its lines of railroad across the
prairies, and anticipates the industry of
the pioneers and the imigrant. ith
wondrous sagacity it discounts the labor
of the millions of toilers of the Old
World, whose eager eyes are turned to
ward the setting sun. It is emphatically,
the Railroad City of the age of steam.
The mere statistics of Chicago com
merce, though surprising, convey no ad
equate idea of the spirit aud enterprise
of the place. We take comparatively
little note of the fact that its manufac
tures last year were valued at $58,000,
000 ; that it received $415,052,000 worth
of commodities; that its wholesale trade
amounted to $369,935,530 ; that its net
income last year was 73,000,000, and
that it also added 3,423 to the numler
of its dwellings last year. All this
growth, marvellous enough considering
the dullness ot the times, is nothing to
its enterprise in opening up new lines of
railroad. It is here that Chicago, while
a ' 1 a
serving its own interests, nas rendered
the most essential services to humanity.
It sees thriving cities and fertile farms
in petty Indian towns and on the broad
prairie, and throws forward its iron arms
to secure their trade in present and pros
pective. V here it gets its capital tor
its various railroad enterprises is only
ess surprising than the liberality, sa
gacity, and munihccnce disnlaved in us
disbursement. Money is poured out like
water to open new channels of trade.
Its merchants are princes in liberality
and largeness of view.
We Iikc everything about Chicago ex- !
cent its morals; but on that point New
Y.rk, Unfortunately, has nothing to
boast of, and no stones to throw. In
most other respects the Empire City has
much to learn from its younger sister.
At any rate it has nothing but good will
and cordial wishes tor the great city ot
the West. We bear no malice because
it attempted to intercept the commerce
of the Pacific States and of the East, or
because its dreams of annihilating the
thousand miles that sepcrate it from the
ocean, in order to become, at our ex
pense, the centre of the foreign com
merce of our continent.
What New York is now, Chicago u.ay
beconie, . within the lifetime of persons
now living, and this without the Empire
City losing the relative superiority in
wealth and commerce. Who shall set
bounds to the greatness of a city that is
always abreast and ahead of time, when
the valley of the .Mississippi shall count
its destined 500,000.000 of population ?
What limit shall then be placed upon the
wealth and power of the Republic at
large ? "--M
Otoe Indian Treaty.
A treaty is pending in the Senate, be
tween the United States and the Otoe
Indians, a tribe of 500 squalid savages
occupying a reservation on the southern
boundary of Nebraska, sixty or seventy
m les west of the Missouri river. The
terms of the treaty have not been made
public, but we are informed that it con
templates the transfer of their lands
(some 200,000 acres), to a railroad com
pany, for about $30,000 in coin", or at
tho rate of fifteen cents per acre. Any
such treaty is nessarily a gigantic swindle,
irnd if ratified by the innate will bring
down upon all the parties concerned s
seorn ot indignation. If the President
has transmitted such a treaty to the Sen
ate, or indeed any treaty with the Indi
ans proposing to transfer their lands to
any private corporation, directly or indi
rectly, we hope he. will withdraw it. All
th ;se reservations as soon as they are re
linquished by the Indians, ought to be
held subject to pre-emption by actual
settlers. Chicago Tribune.
Weclipthe following from the (Edina,
Mo.,) Sentinel:
We learn that a terrible shooting affair
occurred in Adair county last week be
tween the Lowe brothere. It appears
that one of them had seduced the Sister-in-law
of another brother, who came to
the residence of his father to inquire
into the matter. While there in a quar
rel with his brother, the seducer, he
drew 3 revolver and shot at him, but,
missing his aim, the ball lodged iu the
brain of another brother killing him in
stantly ; he then fired a second shot at
his brother, but, again missed his aim,
and shot another brother in the abdo
men. He then mounted his horse, rode
off and, a late report says, ended the
tragedy by shooting himself.
An exchange discourses tersely and
well as follows :
"Recollect that every dollar sent to
Eastern papers is at the expense of local
papers. A county acquires prominence
through its paper more than any other
way, and to every one who has county
interests at stake his home paper is a
necessity. Never will such a man take
a paper printed away from home until
he ia able to take a second paer. His
first paper will be his home sheet, and
he will so identify his own interests with
those of his county paper a-s to consider
his subscription as much a matter of
yearly duty as the payment of his taxes."
It has been stated, says the New York
Times, that the largest sum subscribed
in New York city to the funl for the
benefit of the fam.ly of the late Mr.
Stanton is $1,000, and that that was
from a Democrat. The facts do not bear
out the statement. Mr. A. T. Stewart
gave $5,000 and twenty other gentlemen.

Can't You Let Him ftre.
Not a hundred miles from Chicago, in
the rural burg of Dundee, lives an an
cient widow lady who has a lout of a son
about twenty-four years "old, who, like
the man's son, "is a darned smart boy,
but don't know anything." Not long
since the old lady was taken sick and lay
at the point of death. Feeling her end
approaching, she called her son to her
bedside to give him her parting counsel.
Abe stood with open mouth, apparently
swallowing every word, the old lady's
words seeming to have a good effect upon
him.
"Abram," said she, "here I lie with
death staring me in the face."
At this moment a knowing expression
pascd over Abe's features and he broke
ont, "Can't you let him stare?"
The old dame thought it no use, and
speedily recovered.

Campbell of the Law Department, Pro
fessor Palmer, of the Medical Department
and Professor W.nchell of the Literary
