Cobbfry nnl Piiranlt of tlie Thieve.
Between ne and two o'clock last
night (or rather, this morning,) several
attempts at burglary were made at East
Plattsmouth, by a party of "roughs"
who have infested that locality for some
time. The first attempt was made upon
the stable of deputy Sheriff Gates, who,
by the way, is always on the lookout for
that peculiar class of people, and who is
never found napping. Mr. Gates was on
duty as watchman at the railroad depot,
but his wife had the nerve to discharge
a double barreled shot gun at the scoun
drels, which gave them a good ecare,
sud aroused the people of the neighbor
hood. The robbers found things too
warm and started for the river where
they cut loose a flat boat and a couple of
skiffs and ''struck for tall timber." A
party of citizens gave chase, and several
shots were fired from both side?. A
party is in pursuit to-day, and we un
derstand they content plate giving the
scoundrels "a hasty trial and immediate
justice" if they catch thera.
S Duke, Esq., is erecting two small
buildings on Main Street, near the Far

were rented before work was commenced
n them.
KXAMISATIO.I OF TEACH EES.
We were present a hort time last Sat
unlay at Superintendent Patterson's ex
aiuination. at the school house. We
have heard of some little complaint be
cause certificates were not issued in some
cases, and had & curiosity in seeing how
examinations were conducted. Wc find
Mr. Patterson's course (or system) of
examination to be as follows: He holds
his examinations on regular days, as pro
vided by law, and there are generally a
number of persons present to be ex
amined atthesaiuo time. Theexamina-
fro!M your own increased enjoyment
you'll decide that it was vise. The glad
songs of the happy bird? as they seek
your groves to build their nests and rear
their young, will proclaim, with etch
morning anthem, that it is wise. And
when you note the vast number of worms
and insects (that prey upen your grow
ing plants) daily destroyed by these melo
dious friends, yourself will vote that it
pays.' And when yon reach their yards
of a morning, the sleek coats and satis
fied looks of your beasts will prove a
benediction, and future generations shall
call you blessed.
Do "not delay another day, for the
season is upon you, but go at once to the
roads, to the sand-bars, to the nurseries
-procure enough, procure a variety,
and remove them at once to your home,
and, if your grounds are uot already
prepared, heel them in.
Next, plow, harrow and prepare the
ground as for corn, and lay off. with a
plow, both ways, at a distance of three
to four feet--drop the trees carefully in
place and cover immediately with the
plow straighten up and tramp firmly.
Cultivate sufficiently to keep down the
weeds, aud in three years (if the rapid
growing kinds have been planted) you
will have ttill, str. Ljht-growinj trees, of
a size that will begin to furuish fuel tind
need thinning out.
Farmers, I speak from the book of
some experience. Try my plan better
it where you can but plant trees.
