Go to the drink ing siloon to spend your leisure time. You need not drink much now ; just a little beer or some other drink. In the meantime play billiards, dominoes, chequer?, or something else to kill time, so that you will be sure not to read any useful bcok. If you read let it be the "Clipper," "Sporting Gazette," "Day's Doings" or "Dime Novels." Thus go on keeping your stomach full and your head empty, and yourself playing time killing: games, and in a few years you'll be nobody, unless (as is quite likely) you should turn out a drunkard or a profes sional g-imbler, cither of which is worse sbnn not an nobody. 1 Here are a number ot j young men hi nging about saloons, bil- j hard room, and other rum f-hops in Plattsmouth., just ready to graduate and j A 1 r.ir.NU.

In the State Journal of the 27th we find the following proceedings of the Senate cn the 2'.th : On mction of Mr. Hascall, the Senate took up the contested ca.-e of Kennedy vs. Pcttenger. Mr. Hasca'I moved the adaption of the report of the Committee on Elections. Mr. Tucker moved to amend by post poning tho consideration of the report till to-morrow, and making it the special order for 1 1 a. m. - The yeas and nays being called for on amendment, Messrs. Brown, Sheldon and Tucker Toted aye. Messrs. Cropsey Gcrrard, Ilascill. Hil ton, Metz, Thomas Tennant and Mr. President voted no. So the amendment was lost. Those voting in favor of the original motion to adopt report of Committee on Election, were Messrs. Cropsey, Hasca'I, Metz, Thomas. Tennant and Mr. Presi dent 1. In the negative, Messrs. Hilton, Shel don and Tucker. So the report was adopted. This docs not cxatlr tally with the Statement of our Capital Correspond ent, who states the vote on the ousting of Pottenger at nine to three, with Hil ton, Tucker and Pvtlrner voting against tho resolution. Wc presume he is mis taken in using the name of Pottenger. It is hardly probable that even that body of men would allow Mr. Pottenger to vote on his own ca, especially a- bis vote would not change the rerult. TTe await the official vote.

We learn from person-? who a;e just in from Nebraska City that the business men of that placs arc taking: tol l of the ".Joy proposition" to buii-i the Trunk A eom:ii:ttee of fifteen lea ling men of the county have been appointed to circulate a petition auMre.ssctl to the county Commissioners, akinsr them to call an election in order that the people may have the privilege of voting upon the question of issuing to Mr. Joy $ir,0.OOU of county bonds to aid him in building the road. The bonds are o ue ueiivere I wnen me roau n built through the county. Thb is all that Joy asks, being willing to wait for payment until after the roal is built The people of Otoo county eecm to h wide awake to their interests, an l deter ?fer- mined not to let the golden opportunity now presented fir building the Trunk road slip, at least without an active ef fort. It is reported that during the week at least one thousand names will be signed to the petition, and that this will have the effect to anthor'ze the Com misioners to call the election. In suTi case the vote will take place early in March. This movement upon the part of our neighbors below, ought to stimulate the people cf the river precincts in this coun- ty to renewed efforts to make good their ; part of the proposition. Neither Ca's nor Otoe can afford to reject the offer so liberally made by Mr. Joy. We need the Trunk road ; we need the benefits which we thereby secure; tendered to us by the St. Louis market. When built, we are in a position to choose, at all sea tons of the year, between the market of Chicago and St. Louis. Let the work move forward give the people of the river counties this much needed rail road.

We had the pleasure of attending tha Railroad meeting at Yan Horn's School House, in Liberty Precinct, last Satur day, in company with John Fitzgerald, Esq., and Maj. Wheeler, of this city. Notwithstanding the disagreeable weath er, the school house was densely crowded at an early hour, by the intelligent and thrifty people of the precinct, ail rppa rently anxious to press forward the work which was to give them an oatlet to tho markets of the world. Among the man' familiar countenances in tb.a room we noticed those of Hon. J. C. Van Horn, County Commissioner Bonj. Albin, N. G. Douge, Henry Van Horn, Henry Pell, P. J.

Judge Kinney was ca!!0d upon, an 1 he spoke full an hour and a. half, detaiiln? a Listorv of the Trunk Rnilroad enterprise, and showing the great importance of the line. lie then read to them Mr. Joy's proposition which has heretofore been stated in the ID".i;am, and closed by a shoit mathe matical calculation upon the relative ex pense and profits of the enterprise, so far as the people are concerned We have often figured on tho benefit of Railroads, but we arc compelled to admit that we nevermore vividly re alized the great be:i:fit3 derived than wc did upon viewing the calculations of Judge Kinney; and one of the beauties of the thing was that his figures were all low on the side cf the advantage to the j co- j i .lc, and high as regarded the expense to them. They were convincing, and every man in the room felt that they were. The meeting appointed Messrs. N. G. D .uge, Jessee Hendricks, P. J. Becker, Henry Pell, and Jessee Ei win a com mittee to confer with the PlattFinouth and Rock Bluffs comniitties relative to the submitting of a proposition to issue bnds in aid of the enterprise, after which the meeting adjourned. The members of of the diffcient committees, who were pro.-ent, then held a short con ference, and decided to meet in Platts mouth on Tuesday, February 7th, for the purpose of consultation.

We now desire to call attention to the fact that Messrs. White & Spires are also entitled to a meed of praise second only to that bestowed upon Mergo-cs nr.d Gyger, for the will with which they have launched forward in the noble work of ir prove ruent They commenced when bricks were scarce, labor and building materials high, and when it looked to be a serious venture for men of moderate means to throw thousands of dollars into the erec tion of fine buildings in our young city. White & Spires, full of faith that our city was on the high read to commercial importance, delved down deep into their pockets, and the result is, the magnificent brick edifice in which they are now doic business.

Editor IIeralt : The report of the Way? an 1 Means Committee, showing irregularity in the School Funds loaned, was submitted to the House this morn ing. Mr. Myers, of Douglas, offered a reso lution for the election of a Committee of five to prepare articles of impeachment against Governor Butler, for misde meanor in office, which was tabled, by a vote of 23 to 15, and made the special order for next Wednesday. All documents in the matter arc order ed to be Printed by Tuesday evening. There is conr-idarable exciteren. Brooks' statemsntsbefore the Committee are contradictory to those previously published. C.

A subscriber to the Herald asks where the town of Plattcau, in this county, is situated, and who laid it out. We know of no such town.

The Ashland Times seems to wonder that we do not crow over the defeat of the bonds in Saunders. Why should we? If the Times will show us a reason why we should feel especially pleased, we will try to do so. The Fremont Tribune says that iu the recent Senatorial contest, Mr. Rogers re leased all his friend- except those from his own cor.iity. Why not have released them? Did he suppose they were enough to elect him ? We are souiewh it astonished (although one should not be astonished at anything now a-days) to learn that the Lincoln County Advertiser, J. B.

Ilotchkin, Pastor cf the Marble Pre.-bytcrian Church, Philadel phia, Pa., says of "Our Father's House": The theme for the man, and the man for the theme. Dr. March has unusally felictous taste for selecting that which is intrinsically of high interest, lam im pressed with this as I walk with him through "Our Father's House," and note the objects to which he turns my attention, and I am much indebted to him for placing me often in new angles of observation, which disclost! in thoso ob jects beauties not before discoverd, and revealed in the Fattier himself some glories hitherto uuthought of. The wide appreciation bestowed on his former book renders it pretty much superfl ous to express the hope that this will be read i by many thousands Father Farrell, pastor of a New York Catholic Church, stated to his congrega tion on Sunday, while submitting to 1 t ieni lie proposed addrcs to the rope, 1 that he objected to it, and being an ; ? ou!J not his arm "to restore any king under heaven to his j throne." THE JOLLIFICATION. THE GEBHAVN JCDILiN'T. As per announcement in the Hf.ralp last evening, a large concourse of our German Fellow Citizens assembled in front of the Turner Hall where a bril liant bonfire lighted the streets and pro ceeded to promenade the principal streets of the city with torches, banners and transperancies accompanied by mar tial music. Among the transparencies we noticed one cn which Napoleon ap pears working at his trade as a cobbler. After the procession was over, about two or three hundred people assembled in the spacious hall, where music and short speeches were the order for an hour or more. It is but justice to say, in this connection, that those having the matter in charge were sorely disapointed ia not securing the attendance of speakers from abroad as they expected, but they did all in their power to atton for the disap pointment. Messrs. Stadelmann, Cooper, Stiles, and others made short speeches, expressing satisfaction at the fall of Paris and the overthrow of the Napoleonic government and the approach toward a free government like our own glorious Republic. To close with the Turners gav an exhibition for the space of half an hour, after which three cheers were given for the United States of Germany, three cheers for the Republic of France, and three cheers and a "tiger" for the home of their adoption the United States of America. The crowd then dis persed, some going home, and others continuing the celebration in a manner of their own choice. n. A yt. It. R. and Fremont. Wc arc advised that the B. & 31. R. R. Co. has determined on making con nection with the Union Pacific R. R. at the most practicable point wct of Ash land, and it is expected that surveyors will be on the line between Fremont and Ashland within two week. Fremont and Saunders caunty would be greatly benefitted by an extension of this line, and we doubt not Saunders county would vote liberal aid. Fremont Trib nne.. The following, by Horace Gneley, long sgo, is so true that every publisher of a ! local paper at this time will bo heard to exclaim " that's so," as soon as reads it ; "It is strange how c-'ose the people read the papers. We never say any thing that anybodj- don't like but that we soon hear of it, and everybody tells us about it. But if once in a while we happen to say a good thing, we never hear of that ; nobody seems to notice that. We may pay some man a hundred compliments, and give him a dozen puffs, and hejakes it as a tribute to his great ness and never thinks anything about it ncver thinks it does him anr good. But if we happen to say something this very man don't like, or something that he imagines reflects on him or his character, see how quick he flies up and gets mad about it. All our evil ii duly charged to us, but we never, apparrently, get any credit for what good we do." We clip the foiiovringrclaiive to the vote on the ousting of Pottenger, fom the Lincoln correspondent of the Omaha Hepnblican ; As 3-0:1 are already informed, by tele graph probably, the long drawn, much written upon, greatly di.-cu-sed "Potten ger case" has been decided, and Mr. Willc-t Pottenger is no more a member of the Senate. Considerable discussion took place at the lat moment, nod the three members who finally voted ' 'nay," each explained their position, which being very nearly the same, wore sum moned up by Senator Hilton, of Wash ington, who informed us that there had been more rascality connected with voting at elections in Nebraska, than in any olher State in the Union ; and he, for his part, wanted it stopped, and a pre cedent made for future Legislatures to goby. If the laws were at fault, then let U3 amend the laws, but if the laws were wise ones, but not carried out, then let this Senate find where the blame lay, and censure the right parties, lie was not prepnrd to vote on tho matter mw. Mr. Sheldon and Mr. Tucker he'd about the same grounds, and asked to be ex cused from voting, which they yrere; but before the vote was announced by the Pesi lent they desired to be recorded as voting "nay," and were so recorded. A vivid description of a wonderful ex ploit of a Kansas skater is given by the Leavenworth Republican. There was a merry party on ice, and the usual cry of horror escaped the lips of all of them as the ice broke and one of the skaters dis appeared beneath it. "lleingan expert swimmer and possesred of great presence of mind-" we read, "he struck out vig orously and swam after the manner of a diver. The fishes gazed at him with their green eyes and nibbled his clothes as he sam through the frigid current ; and he, too, imagined that grim death was gazing at him. but he struggled manfully on, nor heeded the meddlesome cat-fish which s wam along beside him, as though they would question him con cerning his sevearnce with the affairs of the land." There is something very graphic about this, particularly the sup positious conundrums of the intelligent but ferocious cat-fith, every wiggle of whose tails must have appeared to the skater's bewildered eyes an animate 1 in terrogation point. But the brave man perserved tho rigidity of his upper lip. 'He is almost exhausted,' the story con tinues, "and he lets down and his feet strike the bottom. lie has reached a shoal. Pressing his head vigorously again-t the yielding ice, with his feet braced below, a cracking is heard, and he gazes along the surface of the ice. To come through lightly was but a mo ment's work, and bidding his friends the fihe? good-bye, he is conveyed to a fire to dry and warm, having swam over twenty yards under the water." This man was born to be hanged wa re fer to the one who had the accident. Miss Mary Hall, daughter of Dr. Hall editor of the Journal of Health, is one of the seven hundred Americans residing in Dresden, ana is so notably proficient in German that on her return she will be qualified to asume tlie position of tutor in German literature in any Amer ican college. One of our State exchanges mentions the fact of a Mrs. Williams, who resides in the eastern part of the State, giving birth to four children, two boys and two girls, one -day this week, and that the mother and children are all doing as well as could be expected We certainly do not see who could expect any of the par ties, and especially the mother, to do any better.

It strikes us that this is not wise. That the Democracy shou! 1 favor such a movement is not surprising, as that party has always been hostile to laws tending to guard the purity of the hal.ot ; but a Republican Legislature should hesitate before yielding to a de tnand coming mainly from that piarter. It is worthy of consideration whether the repeal, if accomplished, will not ag gravate, instead of healing, divisions which have existed in the Republican ranks. I'ep ublican.

Mr. Jesie Robinson, New Castle, Pa., has a G z tree which has been growing fur twelve years. It has new one hun dred and twenty figj, with more coming.

State, in the U. S. Senate, now nearly four years, and during that time we do not recollect a vote, a wurd, or a speech of his, but what has been on the right side. His whole course in Con gress, has had our hearty indonouicnt. We have personally complained to him of his policy in distributing his appoint ments and patronage. We have not been pleased with some of his recom mendations for appointments, but per haps he has given as general satisfaction in lh respect, as any other man would. We give him credit for energy and abili ty, and the history of our young State will generously accord to him an extend ed influence, in securing many advanta ges, which frontier settlements do not usually enjoy. Ho has been prompt to comply with the wishes of his constitu ency, or give a reason why he could not. His career will not be hereafter in the United States Senate, tut we are not through with his services. If the State doe not want him. the nation will. His cnerey cannot, sleep, and his love for Ne braska and her material prosperity, will induce him to work steadily on f jr the public good, and in these efforts he needs and will receive the support and sympathies of every true Republican JJroicu ville Advertiser.
