In consequence of being disappointed in getting paper, we are only able to give our readers a half .heet this week ; and vre are under man' obligations to Mr. Shea, telegraph operator, and Mr. Wentz, 1L II. agent, for exertion ou their part to asecure us sufficient for the half fcheet. Wc will endeavor to prevent a repetition of this half sheet business. Judge Druinmtnd of Iowa arrived in the cit Mr. Kitcr, of Council Bluffs, was in the city. The river is still on the rise. Boats can run easily now. Ilev. A. J. Jwartz is in the city visit ing his friends. T. D. Crook, llayward and Brock, of Nebraska City, were in town Han. II. W.P. . Stout, of Washington county, passed through the city Ia.t week on his way to Lincoln. m The Mary Mdree is making her regu lar trips, "on time," and the traveling public are pleased thereat. Hon. J. E. Laniastcr, Collector of In ternal Revenue for the District of Ne braska, arrived in the city. We notice several new houses in Hays' addition to I'lattsmouth. Mr. Huys has noma of the finest sites for residences to be found in the city. We understand that there will be over $2,(H0 of treasurers fund money on hand in this city for the current year after paying all expenses of the year. There are more new houses in Platts- mouth than in any town on the river of its size, and twice as many in process of erection. A Ilevercned (?) scoundrel named Whitcomb is being taken care of by the newspapers of ies Moines, Iowa, and St. Joseph, Mo. So many houses arc under process of construction in this town that we cannot particularize. The sound of the hammer and saw and the click of the trowel greet your ear in whatever direction you go. There wa much "pisen" in the air yesterda-, considering it was Sunday. One or two arrest were made and prob ably others could have been made with out particular detriment to the parties interested. VanArmand is prepared to supply the people with first class work in the boot and shoe lino. We took a look at hh stock this morning, and found some of tho finest work we have seen in this city. Another convention was held in Ne braska City Saturday to consider the bond and tax question. The old com mittee reported and a new one was ap pointed. We notice a large display of tickets with coupons attached, in the B. & M. R. R. Ticket office on the first floor of the Herald Block. Tickets can be pur chased at the office in this city for any and all parts of the east. Our sidewalks (we believe that is what they call them) show to very poor advan tage to-day. They are from two to six inches "below par" that is, below the surface. Every Nebraskian who visits Platts luouth expresses surprise at the substan tial and permanent appearance of every thing in connection with the railroad the machine shops, turntables, tracks, yards, fences, water tanks, and every thing betokens the solidity of the com pany and the thoroughness of the men engaged in the work. CoL Doane informs us that if things arc favorable everything will be in readiness to run regular passenger and freight trains to South Bend Station on the B. & M. road the latter part of the present week. The track is completed to within about two and a half miles of Ashland, but is not ready for regular trains. Dr. McCluskcy, the "old reliable I)entist, arrived in the city last evening, and will remain until Friday. The Dr. is so well known in this vicinity that his customers only need to know that he is here to induce all in need of his services to eall on him. Office at Johnson's drug store. We call the attcution of dealers in this city to the card of Hibbard &, Spencer, published to-day. They are reliable gentlemen, and keep the larccst and best stock of goods in their line to be found in Chicago. Parties who deal with them once always go there again. From a private letterfrom the "moua tains" wc loam there is an average of eight feet of snow on the range, so that high water may l looked for next June with certainty. We understand a new meat market is to be oiencd in the city, on a large scale. Juo. W. Seymour, proprietor of the Seymour House, of Nebraska City ar rived in our city. Dr. McCrea, Dentist, formerly f Albia, Iowa, arrived by the mornine train. He came to our city to locate. Every train from the east comes loaded with passengers and freight for Platts mouth. James Simpson, I'li 01 Stove creek precinct in this county, arrived from th e east this morning with a new wite. He has been absent some two months. We are under many obligations to Capt. W. Hell, of Burlington, for favor, extended during our recent visit to that city. Married, at Evanston, III, March 21st, 1800, by Rev. Geo. Balm, Mr. James Simpson, of Cass county, Ne braska, and Miss Sarah Parish, of Evan- eton, formerly of New ork. Another evidence of a city can be seen on the south side of Main street, opposite the Herald office, where Rome enter prising gentleman is erecting a coffee stand for the convenience of the pub lic Cars and locomotive are switching, whistling and bustling around on the depot grounds at a wonderously busy rate, since the istorni. The 15. &, 31. IV. II. means business, and Plattsmouth feela it with a very grateful sensation. The Nebraska City Chronicle says : "The case of Blum vs. the Midland Pa cific R. It. Company was decided yester day. Mr Blum got judgement against the company for ten thousand fire hun dred and twenty-two dollars and seventy -six cent. By reference t our advert ising columns it will be seen that Wm. E. Sheldon, of Factoryville is yet making the very best of flour for his customers, noiwithstand- ing the asaultmcnt of tne Philistines. In the language of sampson of old he exclaims: "Shoo Fly, don'tbodderme !" The Registry Lit shows only five hun dred and forty votes registered up to last night. There are fully three hundred more who ought to have registered, and they should be hunted up and directed to the Register's office on ' 'correction' day. Let every Republican talk regis tration until none are left off the official list. Mr. Mill, formerly of the Council Bluffs Nonpareil, was in the city. He has been on a tour of observation to the Capital of the State, and seemed much pleased with the city. Mr. Mill is one of the best printers west of Chicago and has been instrumental in giving the Non pircil its present reputation of being one of the finest printed papers in the west. Dr. II. Cluskey, the favorite Dent ist, will be in Plattsmouth Monday, 27th, and remain till Friday, April 1. He can be found by inquiring at Johnson's Drug Store. He will also be at Dr. Medium's Drug Store in Ashland, on the 2d, 3d and 4th of April Persons wanting work done had better call promptly. Mr. Simpson, of Stove creek, has re cently purchased a fine Chester White boar of Mr. Wm. Dodge, of Waukegan, 111., which was shipped bycxpressto this city Simpson is an enterprising far mer, and believes that a good hog, horse or cow, can be kept at the same expense as a poor one. Simpson is correct; and we hope more f our farmers will adopt his plan of keeping nothing but the best of stock. Simpson is one of the heavy farmers of Cass. The donation party for the benefit of Rev. J. J. Roberts, was a complete success. We regret that his minister ial relations with this locality are to be severed. For three years Mr. Roberts has resided among us, and his many excellent qualities, both of head and heart, have endeared him to this people. It i not only among the mf nibors of his ehurch,but among all denomination s ; he will leave warm friends, who trust that his lot niav be happy wherever cast. and that Providence may ever smile upon In in. Kansas Cit-, Mo., is in a peculiarly bad fix. The construction of the railroad bridge, it is claimed, has left a mud bank in front of the town, and turned the channel in auch a manner as to render it nececssary for the boats having goods for that place to land them at Harlem, on the opposite bank. How pleasant this state of things must be, wc realize from the pro test of the Kansas City papers against making "Harlem" a port of entry for Kansas City. We have received a copy of the Con stitution, By-Laws, Regulations, and List of Premiums to be awarded at the Fourth Annual Fair of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture, to be held at Browuville, commencing on the 20th of September next. The pamphlet was printed at the Advertiser office, in Brownville, and is a credit to the estab lishment We shall take occasion to speak of the coming fair, the officers, etc., again. The Republican Convention Saturday evening was attended by over one hun dred votes and all things passed off smoothly so far as wc have been able to learn. The ticket nominated is one of the strongest and best that could proi ably have been chosen, and will be elected next Monday by a very handsome major itv. Aiioiner new oncK vara is Deins: opened on southwest avenue near the site of the "old slaughter house." We have not learned the names of the par ties, but are assured they are thorough going men. We are glad to know that they are engaging in the manufacture of brick, as a great number of them will be needed here during the present ceasou. i They wH commence molding scon. The coffee stand at the foot of Main Street was formally opened to-day. Higbee is cx,ected here to-morrow to take charge of the Brooks House. Stadelman hasopened a large stock of boots and shoes at his - old stand on Main Street Stopping advertising in dull times is like tearing out a dam because the water is low. . Why are printers' bill, these times, ike faith? Because they are the "sub stance of things hoped for, the evidence of thimrs not seen." River rising rapidly to-day, and ice running freely. It begins to look like we might have high water this spring. Soundings have so far failed to find bottom in the mud east of the Herald office. Mr. McCrea, Dentist, has decided to locate in our city, and will at once pro ceed to the erection of an office one door cast of the P. O. Mr. McCrea comes to our city well recommended. Married March 29th 1ST0, at the residence of Nathan D. alker, in Plattmouth, by A. L. Child, Probate Judcre, Mr. Allen Brooks to Miss Jen nib Pattox. Regarding Ann Dickin's determina tion to be an M. C. within ten years, the JJunalo rtprctt innocently mpuires whether M. C. means Mother of Chil dren. Surely, such inoocenee is inexcu sabl. By reference to an advertisruent in to day's paper, by our Postmaster, it will be seen that our mail arrangements are hkfely to I m in a better condition, it a reasonable bid is made for crossing the river, the probabilities are that we will hereafter be supplied regularly. Wm. Stadelniann, Esq., returned from the east a few days since, and the boxes of clothing are now following him thick and fast. He is receiving the largest stock of clothing ever brought to Platts mouth, and he will sell them at low fig ures. Stadelniann is an energetic man, is making lots of money, and believes in printers ink. Jacob Vallcry, of the firm of Yallcrys !c Ruffncr, Everton Doom, of the firm of Doom, Bio. iV. Co., and D. Schnasse, of the firm of D. Schnasse & Co., left on the evening train for Chicago, to pur chase goods. People who l ave staged it across Iowa in a rain storm who have "carried a rail" to pry one of the old Frink & Walkers coaches out of the mud, can now appreciate a trip from Plattsmouth to Burlington in Pulman's Palace dining and sleeping cars. They are run on the B. & M. road only, and every train is crowded. Look out for political sharps to-night "II. G. D." is figuring "low down," and will control the nominations to-nieht. He has the thing "set up" in shape, and the "wheel horse" will be completely outwitted for once marl-that. Mickel wak will be boatcn for Mayor, nd Tutt will be led up as a willing sacri fice and slaughtered in convention for Recorder. These men don't suit the "power behind the throne." We copy to-day the letter of . Hon. John B. Bennett in relation to the Mid land Pacific road. We earnestly hope it is not so bad a Mr. Bennett would make people believe. He probably gives the worst phase of the matter, in order to to force a little more money from the peo ple. Nebraska City is a place of too much importance to be chiseled out of a road, and we hope her people may yet be able to bring the Midland company to time on the question of building the road to Lincoln. We are indebted to that prince of flor ist, W. J. Hsscr, for a very elegant and most delicious, fragrant bouquet of flow ers. If you want anything in the line of flowers give your orders to Mr. Hesser, the proprietor of the Pic-Nic Gardens. We understand arrangements will soon b perfected for close connection with the mail train which arrives from Chi cago at East Plattsmouth at 2 a. m., thus giving us our mails some twelve or fifteen hours earlier than at present The rail road officials are doing all in their power, so far as we can ascertain, to accommo date us with early and regular mails. Do the people of Otoe county see the "hole they went in at" when they started to find a railroad. The Midlanders have received $150, (XX) in Otoe county bonds, ufon which the people can have the pleasure of paying over the interest each year for thirty years, and then the com pany have 20,000 acres of the State lands and what have the people of Otoe got ? How amch road, and how much money ha? the company paid out for it ? Who has made the speculation? CO CRT A I) JOURS ER. Wc are told that Judge Lake has ad journed the spring term of Court for Cass county, to the third Monday in May next. This will give our farmers, who have legal business, a chance to at tend to their necessary work of sew ing, &c The followiug complimentary notice we extract from the Central (Ft. Kearney) St'tr. The absence of the editor of the Herald accounts for its republication in this journal : "Pltts.mot.th Herald." One of our best exchanges is the "Pllattsmouth Herald." It is a lively, interesting pa per, and devoted especially to the ad vancement of the interests of the people of Cass county and the counties directly west of it, ' Published at Plattsmouth, the Missouri River terminus of the Bur lington & Missouri River R. R. in Ne braska, it gives much valuable informa tion in regard to the progress of the road. It'i purely Republican in its principles, is full of general good reading., and is indeed one of the best papers in Ne braska. Mr. H. D. Hathaway is its progressive and enterprising editor and J i rnrrk tor. "Did eome "Keno Sharps" who were plying their voctation in this city a-, per tion of the winter bring letters of intro duction and credit to J. Sterling Morton? Did one of those letters state that the bearers play a lfair gamc" 'i If so, why arc tnmjs tnu3, inus'y: co. uy Chronicle.'' How m this thusly? Is it a fact that "Keno Sharps" know Morton as "one ofeui?" Who dared to write such let ters to Morton? Who was it? We are (.l.?.i Ihaw Will nr thfl Chronicle, or "some other man," tell us at once? Where does the fellow reside. Who is he? What business is he en gaged in? It haa often been our duty, as well as our pleasure, to show forth to our nu merous immigrants, and the intelligent cultivators of our virgin soil, the advan tages which we possess over other states, and, in one particular, the stimulating influence of our splendid climate, is cal culated to produce results not to be found iu older and more eastern climates. One of the most striking examples of this effect, has lately been related to us by some of our eastern visitors, who dis covered, in a conversation with one of our Doctors, that his available powers had been stimulated in a most remarka ble manner, by a very trying position in which he was lately placed on our "bold prairies." The renowned Doctor states that seven weeks ago last Sunday, in traveliug over the prairie, he was over taken by a severe snow storm so severe his horse, on four or five occasions, fell dwn, exhausted from cold, and that finally discovering the animal's eyes were frozen, he the renowned son of Escu lapius brought his surgical aid to bear, severed the "carrotid" artery of his poor roscnante, and taking out his frigid bow els, embalmed himself in the empty casket, and so escaped certain death. Nothing less than the stimulating ef fect of our unparalleled climate could have produced such inventive genuius, under such trying circumstances, and that our readers may not be in any doubt of the extent of the storm, we learn the Doctor had to "cut his way" out of the snow the next morning ! ! ! THE MAILS. Change of Time. Sec changes in time-table in to-day's paper, and govern yourselves accordingly. It ia expected that other arrangements will be made by the first of April. THE Rl'REAVH. Mr. Dawes, the chairman of the com mittce on appropriations, has given ut terance to some truths, beside his re markable speech, which it would be well for Republican Representatives to weigh well. He charges that the real causes o extravagance may be found, not in the ieads of Departments, but in the chief officers of many of the Bureaus under their appropriate departments. Mr. Dawes claims that many of these officers were pets of the Johnson cabinet, and that their estimates are in consequence unnecessarily large, and in this respect compare badly with the more economical estimates of genuine Republican officers. If this is true, we go for clfaning them out, boots, body and breeches. StTIL.1. THERE'S ROOM. Although the West is being rapidly populated by staunch yeomanry from the States bordering upon the Atlantic Ocean, the middle States, and from the eastern continent, still there is room for hundreds of thousands more, says an exchange. The broad prairies are ready to yield at the magic touch of the ploughshare, rich stores of grain, and the hill tops will produce fruit an hund red fold in return for the husbandman's toil. The public land of this country, out aide of the States, amounts to 1 ,446,71 r, 072 acres. Then wc are proprietors of 300,529,600 acres in Alaska, which will be disposed of at very low figures to encourage emigration to that clime of perpetual, airy comfort As the sum mer months approach thousands will, undoubtedly, take an overland trip to that hot weather clysiuin, overflowing with walrus and seal oil. EOCISVIEI.E. Louisville, Station, March 23. Great excitement prevailed here to day. Manly's addition to the town was moved to Pawnee Creek, to-day which consisted of six houses on wheels. They went off on the B. & 31. Towns are made and moved by railroads these days. The Id town site is about to be re-surveyed, and we hope will be permanent. John Eaton and his corps of workmen have arrived, to erect the tank and wind mill. They have put up five buildings, and live equal to any hotel in Chicago. The morning express from Chicago ar rives at 11:30, loaded with passengers, and the Western Stage Company's coaches transport the same to Ashland and Lincoln. Captain Hoover and brother have great confidence in the success of the town, it being the most central point be tween Plattsmouth and Ashland to ac commodate the farming community. A store and blacksmith shop is much needed here. Col. Peck and his assistants are busy in the engineer department, estimating amounts of rock, &c, for the improve uien of the road. The track is comple ted to section 2S, within two miles of Ashland. The people there arc anxiously looking for the iron horse, and expect the Platts mouth people to visit them en mamte when it arrives, and have a big celebra tion. The Mechanics engaged in the erection of Clark's Billiard Hall, opposite the Brooks House, are pushing the work for ward to completion. This hall, when fin ished, will he equal to anything of the kind in the State. A poor German woman, with three small children, and a large quantity of baggage arrived in our city on the morning train. Her husband was left behind at a point in central Iowa, The family was card for by some of our hu itcce c'tlzenf. .... .UEWXITT,.

Those who heard his "Hits at the Times," when he. was here, last will not fail to be on Jiand. -He b one of the most entertaining lecturers of the age. Everybody should hear him. BISIXESH PROSPECTS Were never brighter for any city than they are to-day for Plattsmouth. Wc still have the "natural advantages" which have killed so many points, but our busi ness men and property owners are not depending on those advantages at the present time. They are depending on their own efforts, and therefore we say prospects were never better. ALMOST A SESti lTIOX. LoromatiTe Iftlie Truck. About four p. m. yesterday the loco motive Grafton was run through an open switch near Main street depot, but she was immediately stopped, and thereby the public are cheated out of a firt-class sensation, Her fires were extinguished, the locomotive American Eagle was fired up, hitched onto the Grafton, and she soon pulled her back onto the track all "0. K." WRIT OF HATRISeXT. The Way It I'neU to be Did. We have heard of people "perpetra ting matrimony," "committing matri mony," etc., but we never heard, until recently of a "writ" of matrimony being "solemnized on" the parties by a Justice of the Peace. We find the following official record of a marriage in this city at an early day, except we leave the names blank : "This day come and 1 ' - 1 and the writs of matrimony was solemnized on them which made them man and wife in ac cordance with the law of the Territory of Nebraska, it being in Cass county, Plattsmouth precinct, this, the day ef 1S56. ' a justice of the peace in and for the county of Cass and Territory of Nebraska." Have our matrimonial laws been changed since 1 856. or is it yet necessary to solemnize writs of matrimony on the parties ? REPIHEICAX eMIXATIOJIS. Pursuant to a call, the Republicans of Plattsmouth met at the Court House Hall, March 26th. 1870, for the purpose of making nominations for the city elec tion, to be held Monday. April 4. At the proper hour the meeting was called to order, by placing Mayor Wheeler in the Chair, who stated the object of the meeting, aud on motion J. W. Johnson was elected Secretary. The Chair re quested General Livingston to address the meeting, which he did in a few stir ring words, urging Republicans, that as party lines are drawn, and as we are again confronted by our old eneni-, to fall into ranks once more, and march up to the ballot box on the 4th of April, and place the city in tlic hands of good Republicans.
