We dtp the following relative to the arrest of the well Lr.own express rol-bcr from the Omaha Herald : Mr. Mormian. the United States ex press apent of Omaha, was selected to undertake hi arret. His whereabouts havinjr been ascertained. Mr. M., on December 2nd, armed with a requisition from Governor Butler and a commission to act as the agent of the State, started for Salem, Oregon. Bear was at Ore gon City, where he was engaged as agent of the California and Oregon railroad. He had changed his naule to Andrew J. Curti, and by this name was there well Inown and esteemed. Mr. Morsnian proceeded to Salem, the capital, when !ov. Grover issued the nes ary war rant for his arrest, which Mr-Morsman made immediately on his arrjval at Oregon City. He found Bear in his of lice, and when he made known the ob ject of his visit, the only answer he made was, "ail right, fir!" as though he knew the fate he had so long struggled to avert had at last overtaken hiui. The culprit waB put in irons and con Teyed aboard a steamer for San Francis co, whence he was conveyed to Oniaha, where lie arrived yesterday. The trip was without special incident. At this time of writing we have noth ing of importance concerning the lost money. The opinion seems to be that he will plead guilty to crime which he freely confesses. Itisthc belief that Bear knows where of the money is, and hi story that he lost it out of the skiff with which he escaped, is not credited. That amount was put in a tin I ox. and was in a iackaee hhioned by John L. Carson to the First National Bank of Oniaha. Boar has arrived in Brownvil'e, appa rently quite indifferent as to results. lie was engaged in steamboating on the Mis pissippi river for some time after the robbry, and finally found his way to Oregon lie was so completely dis guised that many of his most intimate fricncUat Brown villc failed to recognize him. FILLMORE COUNTY. Editor Herald : -Pursuant to a promise in my lust communication, I send you a list of my observations on the prairies in Fillmore county. The morn ing was clear, cool and exceedingly beau tiful. There was a light fall of snow the cven'ng before we started out, which danced and sparkled in the sun's rays like myriads of emerald's and diamonds, adding splendor and beauty to these rich, grand old prairies. We saw seve ral deer taking a morning's walk or run over the prairies, which they appeared to enjoy as well as we our ride. We also saw the prowling wolf who had made night hideous by his continued howling, slinking away to his lair, preferring dark ness rather than light, as all his deeds arc evil. Our ride from West Blue river to Turkey creek was over broad, rich and gently undulating prairies every foot of it is arable and vacant only waiting for the homesteader to come and turn over the sod, sow the seed and reap an abund ant harvest, the reward of industry. In our journey we passed railroad survey stake 5CS5, then the corner stake of sec tions Co, 31, I, 0, at the corner of towns 7 and 8, range 2 and 3 west. A little farther on we parsed a second railroad stake 57"0, opposite one marked B. M., 1 1 SS:;l ; still a little farther we passed a third survey, at stake '2). After a half hour's drive from this point we came to timber on Turkey. All the land passed over this morning in a drive of fifteen miles, is as rich and productive as the Garden of Eden. In less than eighteen months the B. fc M. railroad fompany will have their iron horse suort ing and bounding over these prairies. In one or two years we shall sec on every well an 1 in every vale the works of greedy man the farm, the hedge, the orchard, groves of trees, and in the shade the settler sporting with his little ones, and in the cottage the' rosy cheeked matron busy with songs and household duties. Oh 1 how hard some are toiling for this very object ! how auxious to see this country 1 "devel oped," every foot of sod turned over and planted to turnips and onions and such like. Bless their hearts, they won't know what to do with all their produce when they get it. We that arc here now can't get half cars enough to take our produce to Chicago, and St Louis ain't bagging as much as it was. New comers will work hard all summer to raise a big crop, and then work hard all winter feeding it out to hogs, sheep, cat tle and horses, and think all the time they are getting rich. I don't doubt but that if all the arable land in Nebras ka was under cultivation we could grow produce enough in two years, if it could be sold at a fair price, to pay our entire National debt. Well, perhaps it is all right, but thm it makes one feel "kind o" sad" when he thinks of it. And why not be sad? I love these wild, grand old prairies, with their birds and flowers and their insects s ngs. I love my gal lant steed, and trusty rifle. Oh!' how delightfully invigorating and exciting, in a clear, cool morning like this, to mount rd away, in the wild chase, over hil snu?ale, and return, at "golden. sunset," with V fine buck, chanting "The Hunt er's iouie." Why, Mr. Herald, if you thik I am jesting just come up here into the clear, pure air. J ust lay down pencil and shears, bid adieu to your must' books and sanctum for one week, and try it. If you don't feel ten years younger when you return call us dunce, and we won't fight. But I know that all I can say or write will do no good ; people have got info the habit of com ing to Nebraska and building houses and railroads, making farms and raising big crops. One might as well try to stop an avalanche or a hurricane or to try to stop them They have found out how rich these nrairies are. What enormous re turns the farmer gets for his labor, and they are bound to come and have a "band in." If tbb- railroad company would keep their lands ont of market the country would not settle up halt as fast. But the country is bound to settle fsllv developed. I aui r-om" to be on the popular side and help the flin-!ctiz. So if any. of -yon. B. & M. railroad, if they will call, I will show them one or many that can't be beat in Nebraska. You must pardon me for this digression, and I will not leave the thread of my yarn again until I find the end. Along Turkey creek we found every last claim taken, good, bad and indiffer ent. I be'ieve every State in the Union and every nation under heaven is repre sented here . The people amear to be , intelligent ami industrious. Wesaw and j conversed with many who were well edu cated. We formed acquaintances which we hope will ripen into friendship as lasting as eternity, anion; whom we would mention Kev. J. P. Whiting, Mather J. Home and lady and Mr. Man Icy and lady. From Mr. Mauley's we continued down the creek to Pleasant Hill. In many places we seethe "'dug out" abandoned for the new and elegant frame house. At Pleasant Hill we found a swarm of energetic, go-ahead, Boston Yankees, and a beautiful little town, a grist mill unsurpassed bv any mill west of "Old Muddy." Ingles & Smith are doing the heaviest mercantile business of any houe we.-t of Platts mouth. II. Thurston & Co. are doiiiir a good business in drugs, medicines, &c. We were informed that the railroad company are laying out. an addition of eighty acres to the town. Building is going on as brisk as in August. We saw some five or six buildings in all sta res of completion. Here we passed a day and two nights very pleasantly with old acquaintances, enjoying a "feast of sentiment and flow of soul." The weather indicating a severe storm, we turned our faces homeward, after many a hearty shake of the hand and affection ate adieus. From Mr- Mauley's we struck a "bee line" for our house. When well out upon the prairies we fell in with a part' of old acquaintances, or a monument (sacred) to their memory, upon which was engraved the names of those whom to know is to love and re spect. This "last stake driven" by D. II. Ainsworth's party of surveyors, is worthy of mention. After toiling to gether through the heat and storms of summer i'rom April 1st to Octiber lMh, 1S70, the entire j arty assembled here, upon a beautiful eminence, perhaps for ihi la-t t'nie this side of "the valley at the shadow of death," they exchange lucir.enioe, ami upon "the last stake" engrave their names the part each has performed with the motto, "'Labor imiiu'd ri'ncit." Well may th y say, la bor conquers everything, after their stu pendous achievements the past season. Cosa ben fatta, c fatta due volte. Here upon the wide, rolling prairie, the last farewell is spoken, the last stake is driven, and with moUtened eyes ami throbbing hearts they hasteuto greet the loved ones fir away. From this stake we gailoped over and away, arriving safe at home just in time for tea. Respectfully, L. 11. Warner. Fillmore Co. Dec. 21, lt70. A Masonic I'roJ ct. In Tennsssee the Masonic fraternity have projected a novel plan for taking care of the widows and orphans of de ceased members of the"niystic tie." In each grand division of the State 1,000 or more acres of land are to be acquired by gift or purchase, and this land will be cut up into lots of one or two acres, with a small cottage on each lot. A portion of the land will be reserved for a school house and church, thus making the lo cality a sort of community by itself. In most cases there will be children old enough to c ire for the land, raising vege tables and fiuits for the market, and any deficiency of food will b supplied from the benevolent fund of the grand divis ion. The seventy-two Masonic lodges of the State have already raised nearly eighty thousand dollars toward the ob ject to be accomplished, and by another year will have raised the amount desired, before making a practical trial of the project. A. C Tlchrnor I'ndcr Arrest. From the Omaha Republican 30th. The U. S. Marshal has placed A. C Tichenor, the Gift Concert gentleman? under arrest. An interesting status of, things, Quite interesting, also, is tha affidavit of E. F. Bogeen, a former em ployee in the United btates Clerk a of fice, which contains some points like the following : "While in the employ of A. C. Tich noras clerk, and that as such clerk, he, Iloggen, had signed 2.,0o0 tickets for the said Tieheiior's Bcal Estate Gift Concert scheme, that the said Tichenor has, in the sale of the said tickets for the purpose aforesaid, as this deponent is informed and believes, traded the said tickets off for all sorts of property, in cluding clothing for himselt and others, and sold large quantities of said tickets for prices much less than the advertised price of ?"). While in his employ, as aforesaid, the said Tichenor has often said to deponent that he meant to make a raise of money in some wa-, and that if he did not he should make an assign ment and let the property go to the Devil ; and that in further conversation with defendant about his said Tichenor property, he, the said Tichenor, said that if the Tichenor House, so called, would burn up it would be a God-send to him, the said Tichenor ; and if depo nent would go into it and see that it, the said property, wan burned up he, this deponent would be rewarded handsomely; and said Tichenor further said, in giving as a reason for wishing the said jroperty to be burned, that he, Tichenor, must make a stake some way and get out of the country ; he knew ho could not save his property from his creditors.' "Man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long," is a libel ; he wants everything he can see or hear ov, and never is willing to let go ov his grab. Whenever yu find a man who is thor oughly satisfied with what he has got, yu will find either an idiot or one who has tried hard to get some more and couldn't do it. The older a man grows, the more watchful he bekums ; az his hold on life slacken, hiz pinch on a dol lar grows grippy. Josh Billings. The New York Commercial Adverti ser tnym "The cable of 1S6G is stutter ing badly, and the cable of 1S63 has en tirely ceafd working. Ananias was struck dead for lying, but the cable is only dumb." An enthusiastic clergyman, who had labored faithfully to convert the officers and crew of a ship in which hj had taken passage for Europe, lost all influ ence over the objects of his solicitude during a severe gale, in consequence of the excessive fright he exhibited at the immediate protpect of going to heaven. Vienna Icmorest, of New York, is the youngest musical composer in Ameri ca, being not yet eighteen. She is a beautiful singer herself, and has lately composed a song for Nilsson which that artist has accepted and will shortly pro duce in public The Boston-Post is a most enthusiastic and unrelenting admirer of Mr. Gree ley's farming essays, and almost cveiy day gives prominent place to select scraps of the venerable agriculturist's wisdom. Here is one of.them : "Since the decision of the Iuternal Revenue Commissioner exempting from tax wine made from wild grapes, Greeley says it's no use trying to tame grapes, anyway ; vou can catch them easy enourh wild as they are, in a box trap, baited ith a j Lincoln District, fourth quarter : PLACE.

A little boy was advised by his father to use illustrations in his converse wher ever they should occur to him, "for," continued the parent, "there is no more forcible way of conveying or impressing your-meaning." Shortly after the hoy was being lectured on generosity. "It's better to give than to receive, Johnny far better. The Bible says so, and I say so." Illustrate :t, papa. I think I will understand you better." Father could not see the application.
